“And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into
the cup of his indignation; and he shall
be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Rev. 14:9-11
Will hell fire burn forever and ever and never go out? Many
people believe that because many pastors preach that. However, I have learned
to believe what the Bible says, over any person and God has blessed me to
understand many bible subjects. Therefore, the answer to that question is NO! Unequivocally,
NO! Here is why:
1) II
Peter 3:9-10 tells us that Jesus is coming again, as a thief in the night;
and when he does, the heavens shall pass away and the earth will be burned up! The
earth is going to come to an end! Everything is going to be destroyed by fire.
2) Malachi
4:1-3 states that the earth will one day be burned up and the wicked dead
will be ashes under the feet of the righteous. Take note that burning can only
continue as long as there is something to burn. When everything is gone, then it
is burned up!
3) Isaiah
34:9-11 sheds some light on burning fires started by God. He states that
they cannot be quenched – meaning no one can put them out but God. However,
once God’s goal of destruction is accomplished, creatures can dwell in the same
area.
4) Jude
1:7 speaks of Sodom and Gomorrha as an eternal
fire; however, they are no longer burning. The fire destroyed them
eternally – forever gone!
5) Lastly, one of the laws of nature, which God created, is that
smoke only ascends; it does not descend. Therefore, the smoke associated with
any burning will always ascend up and away from the source of fire. Hence, all
smoke that has ever existed is still ascending and will continue to ascend forever!

There is so much more that I could add, but investigate this
subject for yourself; you will be so much better off.
