The Lake of Fire vs. Hell

[wendykvw]

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.

The Bible uses figurtive and metaphorical language. Be cautious that you do not take things too literal.
The Bible is not a Stephen King Novel.

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