The Love of God Operates even in Hell
“I was also told that the love of God operates even in hell. God does not shine in His full light, because those there could not bear it, but He gradually shows them more and more light and by and by brings them on and moves their conscience towards something better, although they think that the desire is entirely their own. Thus God works on their minds from within, something in the same way, though in the opposite direction, as that in which Satan suggests temptation to us here. Thus, what with God’s work within and the Light without, almost all those in hell will ultimately be brought to Christ’s feet. It will perhaps take millions of ages, but when it is attained they will be full of joy and thankfulness towards God; though they will still be less happy than those who have accepted Christ on earth.
Thus hell also is a training school, a place of preparation for Home. Those in hell know that it is not their home because they suffer there. Men were not created for hell and therefore do not enjoy it and, when there, desire to escape to heaven. They do so, but they find heaven even more uncongenial than hell, so they return. But this convinces them that there is something wrong in their lives, and thus they are gradually led to repentance. At least, that is the case with the majority, but there are some few personalities, Satan for instance, in regard to whom I was told, ‘Don’t ask about them.’ And so I didn’t like to ask, but I hoped that for them also there was some hope.
They also told me that the saints help in the work of saving souls in hell, because there can be no idleness in heaven. Those in hell will ultimately be brought to heaven like the prodigal son, but with regard to the ultimate fate of a certain number ‘you must not ask’… ‘If there were no hope for all the non‑Christians in the world and all the Christians who die in sin, God would stop creating men. We must do our part here on earth to save sinners, but if they refuse we need not be without hope for them.’
- The Christian Witness of Sadhu Sundar Singh
“Maybe the devil is serving God in a way we’re not “supposed” to know, that’s why “don’t ask”. When the story ends, all roles disappear. All is in service to the Creator Jesus (YHWH-Saves = Who Was, Who Is, Who Is to Come, Salvation). There is no one else to serve.”

“For in that He put ALL in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put under Him. But now we do not yet see ALL things put under Him.”
- Hebrews 2:8
“Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to ALL rule and ALL authority and power. For He must reign till He has put ALL enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He has put ALL things under His feet.” But when He says “ALL things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put ALL things under Him is excepted. Now when ALL things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put ALL things under Him, that God may be all in all.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:24-28
Understanding the words forever and everlasting in the New Testament:
“It is often assumed that the New Testament words forever or everlasting refers to an infinite chronological time period rather than a dispensation or age. The Greek word for forever aion and its adjective aionios may be translated as forever and everlasting in the English language but its essence means age or dispensational period (to us it would seem as if some ages last forever). Example, the same Greek word in Revelation 20:10 has been translated as world in Matthew 12:32
The correct translation should be age or ages and it refers to a section of dispensation throughout God’s creation of the ages. Our English language has no 100% rendering of the translation and struggles between age, ages, age to age, world, ever, forever, etc. There is a beginning of ages and an end of ages (Matthew 13:39-40; John 9:32; Acts 3:21; 15:18; Ephesians 3:9). There are many ages to come – Ephesians 2:7. It would be presumptuous of us to assume that the Bible contains ALL the revelation of the many ages yet to come and that precede us. In fact the Bible, in between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, possibly sweeps through millions of years and it is obvious that in Revelation 21:1 the ushering in of the new heaven and new earth only speaks as an introduction of another new dispensation or age for mankind. It would be presumptuous of us to assume that it stops there, knowing that there are earth human relations with other worlds and possibly other dimensional parts of the universe in the millions of ages to come. Our God is an infinite God beyond our present finite comprehension.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“I personally believe that God gives chance for all to know Him eventually in this life and in the afterlife. The scenario of the materially rich but spiritually poor man in hell and Lazarus in Abraham’s Bosom happened before Jesus died. After Jesus died and rose again, he now holds the keys of death and hell. Humans created hell, so it exists. But God has made a way out from it. Hell is no longer a permanent place for those who dwell there. There are also innumerable planes of existence between the highest heaven and the lowest hell.”

“The “Lake of Fire and Brimstone” can be understood by studying the Hebrew meaning of the words. The word “brimstone” means “power to purify”. The phrase “For ever and ever” is “For Aeon to Aeon.” An Aeon means an age or a cycle of time. The “Second Death” means death of the Ego or Separation Consciousness. What this means is that purification takes place in a certain plane of reality for a cycle of time to another until the consciousness of the individual realizes God Consciousness and returns to Unity with the One Pure Source. This is not eternal suffering. Read the original language for understanding.”
- Enoch Mind Reality
“In the Bible, the Greek word “Aeon” is often mistranslated as “Forever” when it should mean “An Age, or Cycle of Time”. This means suffering in Hell isn’t forever but only for a cycle of time.
What is truly forever? The word “Aionis” means “Without beginning and end”. This word is accurately translated as “Eternal” in the Bible.
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL INHERITANCE.
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his ETERNAL GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 John 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that ETERNAL LIFE, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
Redemption is Eternal, Inheritance is Eternal, Glory is Eternal, and Life is Eternal. Suffering is for “A while”.
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Jesus is Eternal Life.”

Mark 9:45 45 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
“The fire in Hell is everlasting because it is not physical fire, and neither is the worm. Spiritual things are eternal. As long as one is in Hell, the suffering will continue on without ending. But one does not have to be there for eternity. They are only there for as long as they need to be.”

“God created Heaven. Man created hell. Man go to hell only because of their negative vibration. God has offered salvation through the Cross.
In the afterlife, if you know Christ as your redeemer, you will enter into the Kingdom which is a dimension above all other dimensions. It is also known as the Highest Heavens. If you are lost and your vibration is too negative, you will enter into the lower planes or Hell. Otherwise you will enter into the intermediate state where there are innumerable planes of existence for you to explore. Have fun. Those from a higher plane can observe or explore a lower plane if they choose to, and are capable of vibrating there. There are Angels who can help those to move from lower planes to the higher. Christ will always give the chance for all to know Him eventually.”
