If God loves his people and is sovereign over all the world why do his people experience so much tragedy? This new idea maintained that there are evil forces in the world aligned against God and determined to afflict his people.
Even though God is the ultimate ruler over all, he has temporarily relinquished control of this world for some mysterious reason. But the forces of evil have little time left.
God is soon to intervene in earthly affairs to destroy everything and everyone that opposes him and to bring in a new realm for his true followers, a Kingdom of God, a paradise on earth. Most important, this new earthly kingdom will come not only to those alive at the time, but also to those who have died.
Indeed, God will breathe life back into the dead, restoring them to an earthly existence. And God will bring all the dead back to life, not just the righteous. The multitude who had been opposed to God will also be raised, but for a different reason: to see the errors of their ways and be judged. Once they are shocked and filled with regret — but too late — they will permanently be wiped out of existence. This view of the coming resurrection dominated the view of Jewish thought in the days of Jesus.
It was also the view he himself embraced and proclaimed. The end of time is coming soon. God will soon destroy everything and everyone opposed to him and establish a new order on earth.
Those who enter this kingdom will enjoy a utopian existence for all time. All others will be annihilated. But Jesus put his own twist on the idea.
Put most simply, that involves loving God above all things despite personal hardship, and working diligently for the welfare of others, even when it is exceedingly difficult. This may be simple, but it is not easy. Since your neighbor is anyone you know, see, or hear about, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan, true love means helping everyone in need, not just those in your preferred social circles. Jesus was concerned principally for the poor, the outcasts, the foreigners, the marginalized, and even the most hated enemies.
Few people are. Especially those with good lives and abundant resources. Most people today would be surprised to learn that Jesus believed in a bodily eternal life here on earth, instead of eternal bliss for souls, but even more that he did not believe in hell as a place of eternal torment.
It was where, according to the Old Testament, ancient Israelites practiced child sacrifice to foreign gods. The God of Israel had condemned and forsaken the place. In the ancient world whether Greek, Roman, or Jewish , the worst punishment a person could experience after death was to be denied a decent burial.
Jesus developed this view into a repugnant scenario: corpses of those excluded from the kingdom would be unceremoniously tossed into the most desecrated dumping ground on the planet. Jesus did not say souls would be tortured there. They simply would no longer exist. At one point he says there are two gates that people pass through Matthew The other is broad and easy, and therefore commonly taken. The wrong path does not lead to torture.
So too Jesus says the future kingdom is like a fisherman who hauls in a large net Matthew After sorting through the fish, he keeps the good ones and throws the others out. They just die. Or the kingdom is like a person who gathers up the plants that have grown in his field Matthew He keeps the good grain, but tosses the weeds into a fiery furnace. They are consumed by fire and then are no more. That it should be used as a way of referring to the place of eternal torment is therefore understandable.
Cook, , ; and David A. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name. John goes on to describe the duration of this punishment in two statements in v. In Revelation the same terminology occurs with regard to the duration of worship on the part of the four living creatures. Do texts such as this speak of eternal punishing with focus on the act of judging or eternal punishment with focus on the effect of judgment?
In other words, what is it that is eternal or unending: the act of punishing unbelievers, or the effect of their punishment? Again, is the torment of the lost a conscious experience that never ends? Or is the punishment a form of annihilation in which, after a just season of suffering in perfect proportion to sins committed, the soul ceases to exist?
Does the ascending smoke of their torment point to the unending conscious experience of suffering they endure?
Or does it signify a lasting, irreversible effect of their punishment in which they are annihilated? But whether or not it lasts forever or eternally must be determined on other grounds.
Many, but not all, of those who affirm annihilationism are also conditionalists. That is to say, they deny that the soul is inherently or naturally immortal and affirm that it acquires immortality only when conferred by God most often as a constituent element in the gift of salvation.
Annihilationists who reject conditionalism simply assert that God, as a punitive act, deprives the unbeliever of immortality at some point subsequent to the final judgment. Most traditionalists affirm that whereas only God is inherently immortal, he irrevocably confers immortality on humans at creation. One also often hears an appeal to the dictates of justice. How can a sin committed in time by a finite creature warrant eternal, unending torment?
In other words, a careful examination of usage indicates that destruction can occur without extinction of being. How do these two coexist if they are strictly literal? As for the Greek term aion , there are as many texts where it means eternal as there are texts where it refers to a more limited period of time.
