My understanding is Revelation describes hell as "the lake of fire." It is written people will burn in a fire as worms crawl all over them forever if they do not choose Jesus before their deaths. If I am remembering it wrong, please post the NIV passage and reference.

I did realize later "lake of fire" could be an idiom for "boiling hot water" like Yellowstone's hot springs.
