Location of Lake of Fire Found?

[WilliamJenningsBryan]

While the Bible (KJV1611) attests to the existence of Hell (Lake of Fire), it is not very specific as to its exact location. Many have speculated that the sun is a likely location, but the Bible (KJV1611) always mentions it is as being "down" (2 Peter 2:4, Psalm 55:15, Proverbs 7:27, Ezekiel 32:27, Isaiah 5:14-15, etc.), which indicates somewhere under our own terra firma.

According to some "scientists" there is some indication that Hell just might be under God's favorite country, the United States. In case you go to look it up, molten carbon is over 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

A massive lake of molten carbon the size of Mexico is discovered under the US, and it could cause climate CHAOS

Its discovery challenges what researchers have assumed about how much carbon is trapped inside the planet

A huge well of molten carbon that would spell disaster for the planet if released has been found under the US.

Scientists using the world's largest array of seismic sensors have mapped a deep-Earth area, covering 700,000 sq miles (1.8 million sq km).

This is around the size of Mexico, and researchers say it has the potential to cause untold environmental damage.

The discovery could change our understanding of how much carbon the Earth contains, suggesting it is much more than we previously believed.

. . .

Known as the upper mantle, this section of the Earth's interior is known for by its high temperatures where solid carbonates melt, creating distinctive seismic patterns.

What they found was a vast buried deposit of molten carbon, which produces carbon dioxide and other gases, situated under the Western US, 217 miles (350km) beneath the Earth's surface.

As a result of this study, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, scientists now believe the amount of CO2 in the Earth's upper mantle may be up to 100 trillion metric tons.

A very interesting article, Brother, although how typical of the extreme-left British press to miss the point.

Fortunately, one of their readers - a Mr Snoocks of Grayling, USA - has pointed out in the below-the-line comments:

This is not a carbon lake, it's Hell.

and again

This is not a carbon lake, it's where the Devil lives - it's called Sheol

I note that there are a great many 7s involved in that article: 700,000 square miles of fire, 217 miles below the surface, dormant for around 70,000 years (possibly a typo for around 7,000, what with 70,000 being impossible?), a 700,000:1 annual chance of eruption. Do you think this is significant?

Re: Location of Lake of Fire Found?

I believe the Lake of Fire is metaphoric as opposed to a genuine place of future punishment. I was talking to my Rastafarian friends along with a couple of Mormons, and they said climate change (ie, global warming) is likely what is meant in the Bible; the earth's temperature will raise to the point where only those saved by God (Jah) will survive; the rest will punished by living out their days on an earth that is so hot no one survives.

Indeed a relevant observation Sister, and once again we have the influences of the Church of England (presided over by a "Queen" - aka HM the Q) that in modern times seems to be uncomfortable with the expressed views of the Marquis de Sade when it comes to the thought of eternal torment. Victorian times were a little different, as many sought out punishment - variously referred to as S&M (aka "English Instruction").

Church of England redefines hell
Jan. 11, 1996

LONDON, Jan. 11 -- A Church of England report has redefined hell as nothingness rather than a place of eternal torment, The Times reported Thursday. Senior clergymen also characterized some church teachings as trying to frighten people before saving them with religion.

'Sadistically expressed' views of eternal torment and punishment left 'searing psychological scars on many' said the report, carried out by the church's doctrine commission and called 'The Mystery of Salvation.' 'Christians have professed appalling theologies which made God into a sadistic monster,' the report said. Theologians said hell was the final 'choosing of that which is opposed to God so completely and so absolutely that the only end is total non-being.' To further the church's modernization at the end of the 20th century, the report also argued that feminisim should be taken into account. 'All the major branches of theology evolved in a context in which the dominant role of men passed for the most part unquestioned and indeed unnoticed,' it said.

I confess to being educated in secular mathematics to the extent of having some practical value, and certainly to the extent of recognizing that playing the lottery is a special tax on the mathematically challenged.

When it comes to Biblical numerology mathematics, this is the realm of special scholarship that only a Senior Pastor can comment on. I leave the following link to provide some level on insight into these matters:

. . . .

No animal could be sacrificed until it was seven days old (Ex 22:30).

There were seven “I AM’s” in the Gospel of John that Jesus used when He spoke of Himself.

The Lord would discipline Israel up to sevenfold (up to seven times) if they refused to obey Him (Lev 26:18).

Jesus mentions seven woes (or judgments) on the unrepentant in Matthew 23.

Jesus also mentions seven parables in Matthew 13.

There were seven letters to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation (2, 3).

There were also seven trumpets announcing judgments by God in the Book of Revelation (8).

There were seven signs given in the Gospel of John.

There were seven pairs of clean animals that were received into the Ark (Gen 7:2).

Joshua and Israel marched around Jericho seven times while seven priests blew seven trumpets before the walls came crashing down (Joshua 6:3-4).

Elisha told the military commander Naaman to bathe in the Jordan River seven times and he would be healed of his leprosy (2 Kings 5:10).

There were seven qualities or attributes of the Messiah mentioned in Isaiah 11:2.

There are seven things that the Lord hates mentioned in Proverbs 6:16.

There were seven stems on the lampstand in the tabernacle (Ex 25:37).

There were seven angels pouring out seven bowls of the wrath of God in the Book of Revelation (16:1).
