No one is tortured without end.
After the world is destroyed at the second advent, the world lies desolate for 1000 years, no human life, just the fallen angels on their own.
The saints were raised to life at the advent of Christ, and they go to heaven and live there for 1000 years.
When the 1000 years are over, the city or heaven moves to earth and settles on it.
Then the wicked are raised to life - billions of them.
They are told by Satan that he is the misunderstood prince of this world, and that he wants to claim it back.
The wicked are organized and inspired to form weapons and an army to surround the city and take over. This takes months to prepare, and when they are ready, they march towards the city and surround it.
The people are taken back by the scene of heaven, and almost totally immobilized by the experience.
Then they are given a panoramic vision of the history of the conflict between good and evil - how it began in heaven and was played out on earth.
They see the entire history of earth, life of Christ, the rise and fall of nations, and their own impact in the world.
With perfect accuracy their own thoughts and actions are bought to view, showing the consequences of their sins on all affected.
All bow down before God and confess that he is fair and merciful in requiring a simple faith - the only means by which love can work.
Satan is hated and despised by all, he tries to rally the battle, but no one is interested, in their disappointment and bitterness, the people turn against whoever they blame for their demise, and try to kill them. The army is fighting itself.
A fire begins inside Satan's chest, and he falls to the ground, his angels are next in order of rank, and while they are burning, fire falls from heaven, and begins to consume the wicked.
The wicked are made to suffer the pain they caused on others, and the pain they caused God and heaven, and they die, in pure anguish, like Jesus did on the cross.
The murderer, will feel the stab wounds he gave, and the horror of dying. The thief will feel the loss and insecurity, the liar will feel betrayed, the adulterer will feel pain stronger than losing a loved one by death. The blasphemers will feel the agony of being utterly humiliated.
Some will burn for a long time, as long as it takes for them to experience what they have done to others and God. Satan is the last one to perish.
The earth itself is totally melted, but out of the white heat, a new creation begins, and the earth is turned into a paradise, better than it was in the beginning.
The earth becomes home base for universal travel.
Human beings will tend to and look after the countess planets and creatures. They are as gods to the universe.
The wicked utterly perish by an unquenchable fire, they will never be again, and in the ensuing years they will never be remembered.
OMG, listen to the programming. David Koresh would have just loved you.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
