“Fire and Brimstone, Angels and Jesus”

Revelation 14: 10: “… he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.” It was said in Tuesday’s Office Memo that we don’t understand the furnace of fire very well, and this verse illustrates the point. Here we see the wicked in a place of torment by fire and brimstone, and the angels and Jesus are there, too! That just doesn’t fit into a lot of people’s theology of hell! There is one thing even King David knew which we forget: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.” (Psalm 139: 8)
