Lake of Fire



The Lake of Fire is a hellish, fiery lake of burning lava that is a symbolism of absolute destruction found in ancient Egyptian and Christian belief systems, and it is often confused with Hell but is actually a different concept : Hell itself will be cast into the Lake of Fire alongside all its demons and sinners, according to the original prophecy of the Bible.

Unlike Hell the Lake of Fire is considered God's absolute final punishment and will effectively destroy all evil from the mortal world, allowing the Kingdom of Heaven to rule forever.

This has caused controversy among some who believe that an act of absolute destruction goes against God's supposed "all-benevolent" nature and thus the concept of the Lake of Fire is sometimes dismissed as a medieval concept or a tool used by religion to scaremonger people in "acceptable" behavior.

The controversy has also opened new sects such as universalism (which dismisses both Hell and the Lake of Fire, believing God shall spare ALL beings) or its polar opposite, Maltheism (which depicts God as malevolent, a view considered heretical by orthodox faith).
