*THE FIRE

Mar 9:48, “where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT EXTINGUISHED.”

I know there is NO water in Hell, for Jesus Christ assures that the Hell Fire cannot be extinguished.  Luk 16:24,

“And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.”

There are theologians who have done great harm, I never mention their names unless I have to, for extolling false doctrines, by insisting that the Hell Fire is symbolic or figure of speech. The Bible never mixes up the symbolic, figure of speech, the parable, etc. with the real and plain statement.

If the fire of Hell is literal, the worm cannot be figurative. In this article we deal only with the Hell Fire. The Bible never mixes up the real with the unreal, the literal with the figurative.

The Hell Fire is different from the regular fire. The regular fire BURNS but also enlightens or illuminates.

The HELL FIRE BURNS BUT DOES NOT ENLIGHTEN OR ILLUMINATE.

Jde 1:13, “wild waves of the sea, churning up their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.”

Hell is the gloom of darkness forever.

Mat 8:12, “but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Hell is the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Outer darkness means the darkness outside the limits of the lighted palace (to which the Messiah's Kingdom is here likened), Matthew 8:12; Matthew 22:13; Matthew 25:30. “

Mat 25:30, “And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

2Pe 2:4, “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, held for judgment.”

Hell are pits of darkness.

2Pe 2:17, “These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.”

Hell is the black darkness.

Jde 1:6, “And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

Rebellious angels are kept in eternal restraints under darkness.

Hitler cannot make a speech in Hell on Mein Kampf to rouse the audience in Hell, because no one will see him. They can hear only wailing and weeping.

I.  TYPES OF FIRE

According to https://www.haspod.com/blog/fire/classes-of-fire

There are 6 different classes of fire, depending on the type of "fuel" that is on fire.

Class A (Solids)

Class B (Liquids)

Class C (Gases)

Class D (Metals)

Electrical Fires

Class F (Cooking Fats & Oils)

Each type of fire can be put out differently, depending on the hazards involved.”

In simple classification we can also say there are electrical fires, gas fires, forest fire, cigarette fire AND nuclear fire. We hold parents responsible for electrical  and gas fires because children should not play with fire. Adults should be responsible for cigarette fire, because children usually do not smoke. Smoking should be prohibitive not only in office, public buildings or places and homes also.  The West is playing with nuclear fire, and the nuclear war is coming to the world.

II.  Idioms for fire

Children should not be allowed to play with fire.

To set the world on fire may be good or bad. An irresponsible revolution speech for a country may set the country on fire.  Climate change is so urgent that all nations in particular island nations should be set on fire to do the prevention.

The West sends money and weapons to Ukraine is actually adding fuel to the fire.

Leaders and politicians who really want to develop their nations must go through fire and water.

China sends aid to an earthquake stricken island nation is pulling its chestnuts out of the fire.

A Burnt Child Dreads The Fire, BUT SOME ADULTS REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN.

The South Korea’s politics is like Out Of The Frying Pan Into The Fire.

For Ukraine to join NATO and EU is tantamount to burn their bridges.

Chinese Fire Drill is an example of how the English racism is expressed in idiom.

Where There Is Smoke, There Is Fire can be said to all Western alliances

III.  HISTORICAL FIRE

A.  God rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Gen 19:24, “Then the LORD rained brimstone 

and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the LORD out of Heaven.”

According to https://scitechdaily.com/sodom-and-gomorrah-evidence-that-a-cosmic-impact-destroyed-a-biblical-city-in-the-jordan-valley/

“We saw evidence for temperatures greater than 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,600 degrees Fahrenheit),” said Kennett, whose research group at the time happened to have been building the case for an older cosmic airburst about 12,800 years ago that triggered major widespread burning, climatic changes, and animal extinctions. The charred and melted materials at Tall el-Hammam looked familiar, and a group of researchers including impact scientist Allen West and Kennett joined Trinity Southwest University biblical scholar Philip J. Silvia’s research effort to determine what happened at this city 3,650 years ago.

Their results are published in the journal

Nature Scientific Reports.”

According to https://biblearchaeology.org/research/patriarchal-era/2364-the-discovery-of-the-sin-cities-of-sodom-and-gomorrah

“When the archaeological, geographical and epigraphic evidence is reviewed in detail, it is clear that the infamous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have now been found. What is more, this evidence demonstrates that the Bible provides an accurate eyewitness account of events that occurred southeast of the Dead Sea over 4,000 years ago.”

Gen 13:10, “Lot raised his eyes and saw all the 

vicinity of the Jordan, that it was well watered 

everywhere—this was before the LORD destroyed

Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt going toward Zoar.”

Gen 18:20, “And the LORD said, “The outcry of 

Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and 

their sin is exceedingly grave.”

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the Lord said,.... The Targum of Jonathan adds, to the ministering angels, the two angels that were with him in the likeness of men; or to Abraham, at least in his hearing, by which he understood that Sodom and other cities were about to be destroyed for their sins:

because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great; either of Lot in it, whose righteous soul was vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked, and cried to Heaven against them; or of the inhabitants that were oppressed by others, either in their bodies, being forced to submit to their unnatural usage of them, or in their estates, of which they wronged them; particularly the cry of the poor among them, whom they suffered to starve, though there were fulness of bread in the midst of them, see Ezekiel 16:49; the Jews (b) say, they appointed false judges, who oppressed all strangers that came to Sodom, and made a law, that whoever relieved a poor person should be burnt with fire: or the cry of their sins, which were many and great, and openly and impudently committed; the cry of which came into the ears of the Lord of hosts, and called for vengeance. Those two cities, which perhaps were the greatest and the most remarkable for their sins, are put for all the five cities of the plain, called Pentapolis.

And because their sin is very grievous; attended with very aggravated circumstances, they enjoyed great plenty of good things; and were not to be bore with, being so exceeding sinful, and so publicly and audaciously committed, especially that sin so frequent among them, which has its name from Sodom, see Genesis 13:13.”

2Pe 2:6, “and if He condemned the cities of 

Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example of what is coming for the ungodly.”

Jde 1:7, “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and went 

after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - The third example is taken from the history of the cities of the Plain. This example is closely connected with the immediately preceding by the even as with which the verse opens; which phrase expresses a likeness between the two cases, to wit, between the reservation of those angels in bonds for the final judgment, and the fate of those cities as subjects of the penal vengeance of God. Two of those cities of evil memory, Sodom and Gomorrah, are mentioned by name. The other two, Admah and Zeboim, are included in the phrase, and the cities about them. Attention is rightly called by some of the commentators to the remarkable frequency with which the case of Sodom and Gomorrah is brought forward, both in the New Testament and in the Old, and to the use which Paul makes of it (as he finds it cited by Isaiah) in the great argument of Romans 9. The sin charged against these cities is stated in express terms to have been the same in kind with that of the angels - the indulgence of passion contrary to nature. They are described as having in like manner with these (that is, surely, in like manner with these angels just referred to; not, as some strangely imagine, with these men who corrupt the Church) given themselves over to fornication, and gone after strange flesh. The verbs are selected to bring out the intense sinfulness of the sin - the one being a strong compound form expressing unreserved surrender, the other an equally strong compound form denoting a departure from the law of nature in the impurities practiced. The sin has taken its name from the city with which the Book of Genesis so fearfully connects its indulgence. It forms one of the darkest strokes in the terrible picture which Paul has given us of the state of the ancient heathen world (Romans 1:27). With the Dead Sea probably in his view, the writer describes the doom of the cities as an example of or a witness to (the noun used being one that occurs again only in James 5:11, and bearing either sense) the retributive justice of God. They are set forth (literally, they lie before us) for an example, suffering the vengeance (rather, the punishment) of eternal fire. So it is put by the Authorized Version and the Revised Version, as also by Wickliffe, Tyndale, Cranmer, the Genevan, and the Rhemish. There is much to be said, however, in favour of the order adopted by the Revised Version in its margin, viz. "set forth as an example of eternal fire, suffering punishment." It could not, except in a forced manner, be said that these cities, in being destroyed as they were, suffered the penalty of eternal fire, and continued to serve as an instance of that. But it could be said that, in being destroyed, they suffered punishment, and that the kind of punishment was typical of the eternal retribution of God. "A destruction," says Professor Lumby, "so utter and so permanent as theirs has been, is the nearest approach that can be found in this world to the destruction which awaits those who are kept under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." Jude 1:7”

B.  God revealed Himself to Moses in burning bush.

Exo 3:1-6, “Now Moses was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Then the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed. So Moses said, “I must turn aside and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burning up!” When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And He

said, “I AM the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.”

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

Here, at Horeb, God appeared to Moses as the Angel of the Lord "in a flame of fire out of the midst of the thorn-bush" (סנה, βάτος, rubus), which burned in the fire and was not consumed. אכּל, in combination with איננּוּ, must be a participle for מאכּל. When Moses turned aside from the road or spot where he was standing, "to look at this great sight" (מראה), i.e., the miraculous vision of the bush that was burning and yet not burned up, Jehovah called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, "Moses, Moses (the reduplication as in Genesis 22:11), draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground" (אדמה). The symbolical meaning of this miraculous vision, - that is to say, the fact that it was a figurative representation of the nature and contents of the ensuing message from God, - has long been admitted. The thorn-bush in contrast with the more noble and lofty trees (Judges 9:15) represented the people of Israel in their humiliation, as a people despised by the world. Fire and the flame of fire were not "symbols of the holiness of God;" for, as the Holy One, "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5), He "dwells in the light which no man can approach unto" (1 Timothy 6:16); and that not merely according to the New Testament, but according to the Old Testament view as well, as is evident from Isaiah 10:17, where "the Light of Israel" and "the Holy One of Israel" are synonymous. But "the Light of Israel became fire, and the Holy One a flame, and burned and consumed its thorns and thistles." Nor is "fire, from its very nature, the source of light," according to the scriptural view. On the contrary, light, the condition of all life, is also the source of fire. The sun enlightens, warms, and burns (Job 30:28; Sol. Sol 1:6); the rays of the sun produce warmth, heat, and fire; and light was created before the sun. Fire, therefore, regarded as burning and consuming, is a figurative representation of refining affliction and destroying punishment (1 Corinthians 3:11.), or a symbol of the chastening and punitive justice of the indignation and wrath of God. It is in fire that the Lord comes to judgment (Daniel 7:9-10; Ezekiel 1:13-14, Ezekiel 1:27-28; Revelation 1:14-15). Fire sets forth the fiery indignation which devours the adversaries (Hebrews 10:27). He who "judges and makes war in righteousness' has eyes as a flame of fire (Revelation 19:11-12). Accordingly, the burning thorn-bush represented the people of Israel as they were burning in the fire of affliction, the iron furnace of Egypt (Deuteronomy 4:20). Yet, though the thorn-bush was burning in the fire, it was not consumed; for in the flame was Jehovah, who chastens His people, but does not give them over unto death (Psalm 118:18). The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had come down to deliver His people out of the hand of the Egyptians (Exodus 3:8). Although the affliction of Israel in Egypt proceeded from Pharaoh, yet was it also a fire which the Lord had kindled to purify His people and prepare it for its calling. In the flame of the burning bush the Lord manifested Himself as the "jealous God, who visits the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate Him, and showeth mercy unto thousands of them that love Him and keep His commandments" (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 5:9-10), who cannot tolerate the worship of another god (Exodus 34:14), and whose anger burns against idolaters, to destroy them (Deuteronomy 6:15). The "jealous God" was a "consuming fire" in the midst of Israel (Deuteronomy 4:24). These passages show that the great sight which Moses saw not only had reference to the circumstances of Israel in Egypt, but was a prelude to the manifestation of God on Sinai for the establishment of the covenant (Exodus 19 and 20), and also a representation of the relation in which Jehovah would stand to Israel through the establishment of the covenant made with the fathers. For this reason it occurred upon the spot where Jehovah intended to set up His covenant with Israel. But, as a jealous God, He also "takes vengeance upon His adversaries" (Nahum 1:2.). Pharaoh, who would not let Israel go, He was about to smite with all His wonders (Exodus 3:20), whilst He redeemed Israel with outstretched arm and great judgments (Exodus 6:6). - The transition from the Angel of Jehovah (Exodus 3:2) to Jehovah (Exodus 3:4) proves the identity of the two; and the interchange of Jehovah and Elohim, in Exodus 3:4, precludes the idea of Jehovah being merely a national God. The command of God to Moses to put off his shoes, may be accounted for from the custom in the East of wearing shoes or sandals merely as a protection from dirt. No Brahmin enters a pagoda, no Moslem a mosque, without first taking off at least his overshoes (Rosenm. Morgenl. i. 261; Robinson, Pal. ii. p. 373); and even in the Grecian temples the priests and priestesses performed the service barefooted (Justin, Apol. i. c. 62; Bhr, Symbol. ii. 96). when entering other holy places also, the Arabs and Samaritans, and even the Yezidis of Mesopotamia, take off their shoes, that the places may not be defiled by the dirt or dust upon them (vid., Robinson, Pal. iii. 100, and Layard's Nineveh and its Remains). The place of the burning bush was holy because of the presence of the holy God, and putting off the shoes was intended to express not merely respect for the place itself, but that reverence which the inward man (Ephesians 3:16) owes to the holy God.”

Exo 3:14-15, “And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.'”

God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is the name for all generations 

to use to call upon Me.”

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

14.  I will be that I will be (3rd marg.)] The words are evidently intended as an interpretation of the name Yahweh, the name,—which in form is the third pers. imperf. of a verb (just like Isaac, Jacob, Jephthah), meaning He is wont to be or He will be,—being interpreted, as Jehovah is Himself the speaker, in the first person. The rendering given appears to the present writer, as it appeared to W. R. Smith, and A. B. Davidson, to give the true meaning of the Heb. ’Ehyeh ’ăsher ’ehyeh: Jehovah promises that He will be, to Moses and His people, what He will be,—something which is undefined, but which, as His full nature is more and more completely unfolded by the lessons of history and the teaching of the prophets, will prove to be more than words can express. The explanation is thus of a character to reassure Moses. See further the separate note, p. 40.
Additional Note on Exodus 3:14
The following are the reasons which lead the present writer to agree with W. R. Smith1[109] and A. B. Davidson2[110] in adopting the rend. I will be that I will be for ’Ehyeh ’ăsher ’ehyeh. In the first place the verb hâyâh expresses not to be essentially, but to be phaenomenally; it corresponds to γίγνομαι not εἶναι; it denotes, in Delitzsch’s words, not the idea of inactive, abstract existence, but the active manifestation of existence. Secondly the imperfect tense used expresses not a fixed, present state (‘I am’), but action, either reiterated (habitual) or future, i.e. either I am wont to be or I will be. Whichever rend. be adopted, it is implied (1) that Jehovah’s nature can be defined only in terms of itself (‘I am wont to be that I am wont to be,’ or ‘I will be that I will be’), and (2) that, while He is, as opposed to non-existent heathen deities, He exists, not simply in an abstract sense (‘I am that I Amos 3[111]’; LXX. ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὤν), but actively: He either is wont to be what He is wont to be, i.e. is ever in history manifesting Himself anew to mankind, and especially to Israel4[112]; or He will be what He will be, i.e. He will,—not, of course, once only, but habitually,—approve Himself to His people as ‘what He will be’; as what is not further defined, or defined only in terms of Himself, but, it is understood, as what He has promised, and they look for, as their helper, strengthener, deliverer, &c.5[113] The two renderings do not yield a substantially different sense: for what is wont to be does not appreciably differ from what at any moment will be. I will be is however the preferable rendering. As both W. R. Smith and Davidson point out, the important thing to bear in mind is that ’ehyeh expresses not the abstract, metaphysical idea of being, but the being of Yahweh as revealed and known to Israel. ‘The expression I will be is a historical formula; it refers, not to what God will be in Himself: it is no predication regarding His essential nature, but one regarding what He will approve Himself to others, regarding what He will shew Himself to be to those in convenant with Him,’ as by His providential guidance of His people, and the teaching of His prophets, His character and attributes were more and more fully unfolded to them1[114].
[109] In an interesting article in the Brit. and Foreign Evang. Rev. 1876, p. 163.
[110] The Theology of the OT. (1904), pp. 46, 54–58; more briefly in DB. ii. 199b.
[111] A translation, as Davidson remarks (p. 55), ‘doubly false: the tense is wrong, being present [i.e. a real ‘present,’ not the ‘present,’ as often in English, expressive of habit], and the idea is wrong, because am is used in the sense of essential being.’
[112] So Delitzsch, Genesis, ed. 4 (1872), p. 26; in the New Commentary of 1887 (translated) towards the end of the note on Exodus 2:4 : Oehler, OT. Theol. § 39. Comp. the present writer in Studia Biblica, i (1885), pp. 15–18.
[113] So W. R. Smith and A. B. Davidson, ll.cc.
[114] The rend. will be is not new: it is at least as old as the Jewish Commentator Rashi (a.d. 1040–1105), who paraphrases, ‘I will be with them in this affliction what I will be with them in the subjection of their future captivities.’ And Ewald, in his last work, Die Lehre der Bibel von Gott, 1873, ii. p. 337 f., explains, ‘I will be it,’ viz. the performer of My promises; in v. 12 God says ‘I will be with thee’; v. 14 explains how: ‘I will be it! I (viz.) who will be it,’ will be viz. what I have promised and said. This, however, as W. R. Smith remarks, is a clumsy version: v. 14 is rendered far more naturally as is done above: I will be what I will be.
I am] better, as before, I will be.”

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(15)  The Lord God of your fathers.—Heb., Jehovah, God of your fathers. The “I AM” of the preceding verse (‘ehyeh) is modified here into Jahveh, or Jehovah, by a substitution of the third person for the first. The meaning of the name remains the same.

This is my name for ever.—Jehovah is the pre. dominant name of God throughout the rest of the Old Testament. (On the meaning of the name see Note on Genesis 2:4.) Rendered by the LXX. κύριος, [“Lord”] the name appears under that form everywhere throughout the Authorised Version printed in capitals. It does not occur in the New Testament, since “Lord” takes its place. An equivalent of the name occurs, however, frequently in the Revelation of St. John, where God appears as “He which is, and which was, and which is to come” (Revelation 1:4; Revelation 1:8; Revelation 4:8; Revelation 11:17; Revelation 16:5). Necessary, self-sustained, independent, eternal existence, must always be of his essence.

My memorial—i.e., the designation by which I shall be remembered.”

Luk 20:37, “But as for the fact that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed this in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF 

ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD

OF JACOB.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 37, 38. - Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush. You Sadducees, in your own arbitrary fashion, set aside the authority of the prophets and all sacred books save the Pentateuch; well, I will argue with you on your own, comparatively speaking, narrow ground - the books of Moses. Even he, Moses, is singularly clear and definite in his teaching on this point of the resurrection, though you pretend he is not. You are acquainted with the well-known section in Exodus termed 'the Bush :' what read you there?" When he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; more accurately rendered, not a God of dead beings, but of living beings. The meaning of the Lord's argument is, "God would never have called himself the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, if these patriarchs, after their short lives, had become mere crumbling dust. God cannot be the God of a being who does not exist." So Josephus - who, however, no doubt drew his argument from these words of Christ, for this strong and conclusive argument from the Pentateuch for the immortality of man does not appear to have occurred to rabbis before the time of our Lord - so Josephus writes: "They who die for God's sake live unto God as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the patriarchs." The expression, "at the bush," should be rendered "in the Bush," that is, in that division of Exodus so named. So the Jews termed 2 Samuel 1. and following verses "the Bow;" Ezekiel 1. and following section, "the Chariot." Luke 20:37.”

Heb 12:29, “for our God is a consuming fire.”

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For our God is a consuming fire - This is a further reason why we should serve God with profound reverence and unwavering fidelity. The quotation is made from Deuteronomy 4:24. "For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God." The object of the apostle here seems to be, to show that there was the same reason for fearing the displeasure of God under the new dispensation which there was under the old. It was the same God who was served. There had been no change in his attributes, or in the principles of his government. He was no more the friend of sin now than he was then; and the same perfections of his nature which would then lead him to punish transgression would also lead him to do it now. His anger was really as terrible, and as much to be dreaded as it was at Mount Sinai; and the destruction which he would inflict on his foes would be as terrible now as it was then.

The fearfulness with which he would come forth to destroy the wicked might be compared to a "fire" that consumed all before it; see the notes, Mark 9:44-46. The image here is a most fearful one, and is in accordance with all the representations of God in the Bible and with all that we see in the divine dealings with wicked people, that punishment; as inflicted by him is awful and overwhelming. So it was on the old world; on the cities of the plain; on the hosts of Sennacherib; and on Jerusalem - and so it has been in the calamities of pestilence, war, flood, and famine with which God has visited guilty people. By all these tender and solemn considerations, therefore, the apostle urges the friends of God to perseverance and fidelity in his service. His goodness and mercy; the gift of a Saviour to redeem us; the revelation of a glorious world; the assurance that all may soon be united in fellowship with the angels and the redeemed; the certainty that the kingdom of the Saviour is established on a permanent basis, and the apprehension of the dreadful wrath of God against the guilty, all should lead us to persevere in the duties of our Christian calling, and to avoid those things which would jeopardize the eternal interests of our souls.”

C.  God will destroy the present heavens and earth by fire.

2Pe 3:7, “But by His Word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.”

Benson Commentary

2 Peter 3:7. But — Though the destruction of the old world by water shows that the present world may be destroyed, I do not say it will be destroyed by water. No: the heavens and the earth, which are now — This whole sublunary world; by the same word — Which at first created them, and afterward destroyed them, and then again restored them; are kept in store — Τεθησαυρισμενοι εισι πυρι τηρουμενοι, are treasured up and preserved for fire; that is, preserved from a deluge for the purpose of being burned. Therefore the earth is not always to remain, but is to suffer a destruction even more terrible than the former; at the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men — The day when God will judge the world, and punish the ungodly with everlasting destruction. “In regard that Hammond and some other celebrated commentators understand this prophecy as a prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem, it will be proper here to inform the reader, that in support of their interpretation they appeal to the ancient Jewish prophecies, where, as they contend, the revolutions in the political state of empires and nations are foretold in the same forms of expression with those introduced in St. Peter’s prediction. The following are the prophecies to which they appeal: Isaiah 34:4; Ezekiel 32:7; Joel 2:10; Joel 2:30-31; Amos 8:9; Haggai 2:6; Matthew 24:29. Now it is remarkable, in these prophecies none of the prophets have spoken, as Peter has done, of the entire destruction of this mundane system, nor of the destruction of any part thereof. They mention only the rolling of the heavens together as a scroll, the obscuring of the light of the sun and of the moon, the shaking of the heavens and the earth, and the falling down of the stars. Whereas Peter speaks of the utter destruction of all the parts of this mundane system by fire. This difference affords room for believing that the events foretold by the prophets are different in their nature from those foretold by the apostle; and that they are to be figuratively understood, while those predicted by the apostle are to be understood literally. To this conclusion likewise the phraseology of the prophets, compared with that of the apostle, evidently leads. For the prophetic phraseology, literally interpreted, exhibits impossibilities; such as the rolling of the heavens together as a scroll, the turning of the moon into blood, and the falling down of the stars from heaven as the leaf of a tree. Not so the apostolic phraseology. For the burning of the heavens, or atmosphere, and its passing away with a great noise, and the burning of the earth and the works thereon, together with the burning and melting of the elements, that is, of the constituent parts of which this terraqueous globe is composed, are all things possible, and therefore may be literally understood; while the things mentioned by the prophets can only be taken figuratively. This, however, is not all. There are things in the apostle’s prophecy which show that he intended it to be taken literally. As, 1st, He begins with an account of the perishing of the old world, to demonstrate, against the scoffers, the possibility of the perishing of the present heavens and earth. But that example would not have suited his purpose unless, by the burning of the present heavens and earth, he had meant the destruction of the material fabric. Wherefore the opposition stated in this prophecy between the perishing of the old world by water, and the perishing of the present world by fire, shows that the latter is to be as real a destruction of the material fabric as the former was. 2d, The circumstances of the present heavens and earth being treasured up and kept, ever since the first deluge, from all after deluges, in order to their being destroyed by fire at the day of judgment, shows that the apostle is speaking of a real, and not of a metaphorical destruction of the heavens and the earth. 3d, This appears likewise from the apostle’s foretelling, that after the present heavens and earth are burned, a new heaven and a new earth are to appear, in which the righteous are to dwell for ever. 4th, The time fixed by the apostle for the burning of the heavens and the earth, namely, the day of judgment and punishment of ungodly men, shows that the apostle is speaking, not of the destruction of a single city or nation during the subsistence of the world, but of the earth itself, with all the wicked who have dwelt thereon. These circumstances show that this prophecy, as well as the one recorded 2 Thessalonians 1:9, is not to be interpreted metaphorically of the destruction of Jerusalem, but should be understood literally of the destruction of our mundane system, and of the general judgment.”

IV.  NUCLEAR FIRE

I have preached the truth of this Scripture many times, but once I told a little girl of 12 years old, she was so afraid that she cried. How I wished that adults would be afraid of the Word of God.

According to Reinhold Niebuhr:

2Pe 3:12, “looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the Heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!”

In which the heavens shall pass away with a crashing roar; ῥοιζηδόν fromῥοιζέω, ῥοίζω, to rush, to whiz, to crash; a word formed to resemble the sound, rushing, whizzing, crashing, here only in the New Testament. Oecumenius understands it of the crackling noise of a destructive fire; de Wette, of the crash of falling houses. The Apostle probably thinks of both, (Huther).—Παρελεύσονται; our Lord uses the same word, Matt. 24:35; cf. Ps. 102:27; Isa. 34:4; Re2Peter 3:20:11.—Οὐρανοί, the sky and the starry heavens, as in 2Peter 3:7; cf. Ps. 72:7; 102:26; Isa. 34:4; 51:6; 65:17.
But the elements shall be dissolved in fire, and—shall be burned up.—Στοιχεῖα; the rudiments of speech, then the constituent elements of the universe; of course not the elements in the sense of chemistry, but in the sense of antiquity, which since the time of Empedocles assumed the existence of four elements or rudiments of things; cf. Wisd. 7:17; 19:17.—Calov restricts the word to water and air, because the earth is specifically mentioned afterward. But de Wette rightly observes that the earth is referred to first as an element, and afterward as a totality. There is nothing contradictory in the idea that this elemental fire shall be suspended in its action by a stronger and supernatural fire. A total annihilation of the elemental constituents is out of the question; the reference is rather to the supposition of Gennadius and Oecumenius, that “the old heavens and the old earth shall be changed and renovated into better.”—A reference to 2Peter 3:12, where the στοιχεῖα are mentioned, and not the earth expressly, shows plainly that στοιχεῖα relates primarily to the earth. δὲ, moreover intimates as much. Bengel, on the other hand, sees here, with many of the fathers, a reference to the sun, the moon and the stars. The sense= θεμέλια, foundations of the earth, given by others, cannot be verified. [The view of Bengel is that of Justin, Theophilus of Antioch, Polycrates, Mede, Hammond, Whitby and Alford. The last named author, after quoting Justin, argues that δὲ followed presently by the καί when reference is made to the earth, necessarily belongs to the heavens, and that the mention of the heavenly bodies as affected by the great day is constant in Scripture, cf. Matt. 24:29; Isa. 13:9.10; 24:23; 34:4, etc. On the other hand, the view propounded in the text is that of Wordsworth, who says that “St. Peter’s meaning seems to be, that the στοιχεῖα, elements or rudiments, of which the universe is composed and compacted, will be loosed; that is, the frameworks of the world will be disorganized, and this is the sense of στοιχεῖα in the LXX., Wisd. 7:17; 19:18, and in Hyppolyt. Philos. pp. 219. 318. The dissolution is contrasted with the consistency described by the word συνεστῶσα in 2Peter 3:5. The heavens are reserved for fire (2Peter 3:7) and will pass away with a rushing noise, and, being set on fire, will be dissolved (2Peter 3:12) the elements will be on fire and melt (2Peter 3:12), and be reduced to a state of confusion; the earth and the works therein will be burnt up.—There does not seem, therefore, to be any cause for abandoning the common meaning of στοιχεῖα, the elemental principles of which the universe is made.”—M.] Λυθήσονται. Gerhard: “When the preserving and supporting power of God, which is, as it were, the soul of the world, shall separate itself from the macrocosm, it will fall together like a soulless corpse.”
The works.—To wit, the works of nature and of art [Bengel: operæ naturse et artis.—M.] trees, plants, minerals, animals, cities, houses, provisions, instruments, etc., cf. Hab. 2:13.
[Shall be burned up.—The variation εὑρεθήσεται of Cod. Sin. B. and K. is difficult to account for.—M.]”

According to https://byjus.com/chemistry/element-definition/

“An element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom which all have the same numbers of protons in their nuclei.

Goldschmidt stated that based on the existing data on the affinity of various elements for oxygen and sulfur, we can obtain a geochemical classification of the elements. From the free energy of the formation of oxides combined with the free energy of the formation of various elements with iron, he drew up a list of elements which are concentrated in the iron phase of meteorites and probably also in the supposed iron core of the earth. He called these elements siderophile elements or elements tending to concentrate in metallic iron. Typical examples are nickel, cobalt and the metals of the palladium and platinum groups.

A second group is formed by those elements which have greater free energy of oxidation, per gram of oxygen than iron. To these elements, Goldschmidt gave the name lithophile elements or elements tending to concentrate in the stony matter. They concentrate in the stony matter of the earth, as well as in the stony matter of meteorites as oxides or silicates.

The third group is formed by elements concentrated in the sulfide phases of meteorites such as troilite and Goldschmidt called them chalcophile elements. Elements which occur either in the uncombined state such as oxygen nitrogen and rare gases etc. or volatile compounds. According to Goldschmidt, they are atomophile elements. Finally, we can distinguish the biophilic elements which are concentrated in and by living plants and animals.”

“The chemical element with the highest melting point is carbon, at 4300–4700 K(4027–4427 °C, 7280–8000 °F). The second highest melting point of the chemical elements is tungsten, at 3695 K (3422 °C, 6192 °F), which is why it is used as a filament for light bulbs. Sometimes tungsten is called the element with the highest melting point because carbon does not actually melt under atmospheric pressure, rather it sublimates (transitions directly from a solid to a gas) at 4000 K (3727 °C, 6740 °F).”

According to https://usabroad.unibo.it/article/view/9871/10506

“The United States did need a ‘preponderance of power’ to be able to contain the Soviet Union, but this power consisted primarily of “the unity and the moral and economic health of our world,” not the size of its nuclear arsenal.74

In this way, the centrality of prestige governed Niebuhr’s approach in the earlier phase of his thinking on nuclear weapons. However, what we see in his later phase is not so much a disavowal of this earlier approach, but rather an expanded vision for how the nuclear dilemma could actually create areas of common interest between the U.S.S.R and the United States. This is because, as Niebuhr came to appreciate the true danger of nuclear warfare, he also saw that it was a problem shared by both superpowers. Consequently, it also had the potential to provide the basis for a more stable coexistence between them if they were able to see their common interest in preventing nuclear conflict.

The Structure of Nations and Empires: A Study of the Recurring Patterns and Problems of the Political Order in Relation to the Unique Problems of the Nuclear Age, as its full title suggests, was Niebuhr’s attempt to spell out exactly how the nuclear dilemma fit into his wider understanding of international politics. Here we can find the best expression of how he himself understood the implications of nuclear weapons for his Christian Realism. After revisiting the current situation of the Cold War in the second half of the book, Niebuhr then concludes that,

unless we annihilate each other in a nuclear war we must come to terms with the possibilities of co-existence with this regime. This task is easier than the abolition of nuclear weapons but it is not as interesting and does not excite the same devotion among the idealists. It is easier because it does not demand that the impulse for survival of each collective system be challenged directly. It is only required that each side allow historical developments to modify the animosities and to change the power realities within each system.75”

According to https://thebulletin.org/2024/11/un-to-conduct-new-study-of-the-broad-impacts-of-nuclear-war-not-all-countries-want-to-know/

“The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly last week in favor of launching a two-year study on the effects of nuclear war—the first such expert study the UN has pursued since the 1980s. A total of 144 UN member states, including only one nuclear power, China, voted in favor. Some important NATO members also voted in favor of the resolution, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Greece. Russia, France, and the United Kingdom voted against the resolution, while other nuclear states, including the United States, abstained.

The resolution “Nuclear War Effects and Scientific Research,” sponsored by Ireland and New Zealand and co-sponsored by 30 countries, was submitted in mid-October at the UN General Assembly’s First Committee on Disarmament and International Security. The effort includes establishing an independent panel of scientific experts tasked with reviewing and commissioning relevant studies and publishing a comprehensive report that includes future research needs relating to the impacts of nuclear war.”

According to https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/devastating-effects-of-nuclear-weapons-war/

“An exploding nuclear weapon instantly vaporizes itself. What was cold, solid material microseconds earlier becomes a gas hotter than the Sun’s 15-million-degree core. This hot gas radiates its energy in the form of X-rays, which heat the surrounding air. A fireball of superheated air forms and grows rapidly; 10 seconds after a 1-megaton explosion, the fireball is a mile in diameter. The fireball glows visibly from its own heat — so visibly that the early stages of a 1-megaton fireball are many times brighter than the Sun even at a distance of 50 miles. Besides light, the glowing fireball radiates heat.

This thermal flash lasts many seconds and accounts for more than one-third of the weapon’s explosive energy. The intense heat can ignite fires and cause severe burns on exposed flesh as far as 20 miles from a large thermonuclear explosion. Two-thirds of injured Hiroshima survivors showed evidence of such flash burns. You can think of the incendiary effect of thermal flash as analogous to starting a fire using a magnifying glass to concentrate the Sun’s rays. The difference is that rays from a nuclear explosion are so intense that they don’t need concentration to ignite flammable materials.

A single nuclear explosion might produce 10,000 cases of severe burns requiring specialized medical treatment; in an all-out war there could be several million such cases.

According to https://usabroad.unibo.it/article/view/9871/10505 

“The Nuclear Dilemma So how do these conclusions inform our understanding of Niebuhr’s thought on nuclear weaponsand the precise nature of the change that took place from his initial support of deterrence to his lateranti-nuclear concerns? As we have seen, Niebuhr initially saw nuclear weapons as participating inthe ‘moral ambiguity’ of all warfare, and they were justified to the extent that no state could refuseto use a weapon that might ensure its survival.69But this meant that Niebuhr’s insistence on thelimits of military power also extended to nuclear weapons. It may be a necessary backstop, but thereal source of authority in international politics was still prestige. Any threatened or actual use ofnuclear weapons outside of dire necessity actually risked seriously undermining American interests.70This was one of the main criticisms he had with the use of the atomic bomb against Japan. Niebuhrunderstood the temptation to use nuclear weapons to bring a swifter end to the war, but he questionedthe actual benefit of such an action. Surely the bomb could have been used in such a way as to impressthe Japanese of American capabilities but without such a loss of life? “The moral advantage of suchimagination would have been tremendous,” he concluded.71Thus, far from simply invoking the logicof‘tragicnecessity’andthe‘lesserevil,’Niebuhrwascallinguponstatesmentobemorecreativeintheirapproach to these problems, both for the sake of the general good and also for America’s interests inthe long-run.72This was even more important in the new situation of the Cold War because of theideological nature of the conflict. If Niebuhr had any hopes of an acceptable American victory in theCold War, it would not be in military terms. As he writes,Communism is a movement of religio-political dimensions which cannot be defeatedby military force. It can only be defeated if the non-communist world can counter themoral appeal of this revolutionary movement with moral, political and economic pro-grams which will overcome the desperation and social confusion, in Asia and other partsof the world, in which Communist convictions are generated.73The United States did need a ‘preponderance of power’ to be able to contain the Soviet Union, butthis power consisted primarily of “the unity and the moral and economic health of our world,” notthe size of its nuclear arsenal.74In this way, the centrality of prestige governed Niebuhr’s approach in the earlier phase of histhinking on nuclear weapons.

V.   WILDFIRES

Job 20:26, “Their treasures will be thrown into deepest darkness. A wildfire will devour their goods,
consuming all they have left.”

According to https://www4.bing.com/search?q=the+cost+of+wildfires+in+the+us&qs=GS&pq=the+cost+of+wildfires&sk

“The wildfires could cost 466,000 jobs, contribute 

$52.2 billion to the gross domestic product and 

account for $89.6 billion in lost economic output for the U.S., according to research by the economic software and analysis company

www.forbes.com/sites/jamiehailstone/2024/08/14/wildfires-costing-the-us-89-billi…

According to https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58212

“The average annual acreage burned by wildfires in the United States has increased over the past 30 years, affecting both federal and nonfederal lands. In this report, the Congressional Budget Office analyzes trends in wildfire activity; considers the effects of wildfires on the federal budget, the environment, people’s health, and the economy; and reviews forest-management practices meant to reduce the likelihood and seriousness of fire-related disasters.

These are the major findings from the analysis:

· About 8 million acres, on average, burned each year in wildfires between 2017 and 2021, more than double the average amount from 1987 to 1991. On average, a fire on federal lands is five times the size of one on nonfederal lands.

· Average annual federal spending on fire suppression totaled $2.5 billion (in 2020 dollars) between 2016 and 2020. Other federal fire-related spending includes disaster assistance (which totaled $5 billion of obligations for disasters declared over those five years) and some indirect costs (such as spending on health care following smoke exposure and the potential loss of revenues from federal timber sales).

· Environmental, health-related, and economic effects of wildfires are felt most acutely in the immediate area. Smoke and air pollution from wildfires spread widely and can exacerbate many health conditions. Wildfires also tend to have negative effects on watersheds.

· Managing forests can reduce the risk and severity of wildfires, according to research. Techniques to do so include setting prescribed fires, managing wildfires in remote areas, and mechanically thinning forests to reduce the density of vegetation and different types of fuel in a forest. The cost to implement those strategies varies by landscape and by treatment required.”

In my opinion, anyone who sets forest fire which kills one person or costs more than $1 milllion damage should be executed.

VI.  ETERNAL FIRE

Hell fire is eternal fire. Why? The suffering in Hell is eternal punishment is eternal, destruction is eternal, and eternal judgment.

Mat 18:8, “And if your hand or your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is better for you to enter life maimed

or without a foot, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 8. - Wherefore. The Lord teaches how to avoid this sin of giving offence, repeating the solemn words already delivered in the sermon on the mount, though with some variation and a different context (Matthew 5:29, 30). The reference on the former occasion was especially to breaches of the seventh commandment; here the Lord speaks of offences in general, of that external corruption among mankind which is the fruitful source of temptation and sin. The only remedy for this is the sternest self-denial, the strictest watchfulness. Or thy foot. Christ did not name this member in his previous discourse. Literally, the hand or foot leads into sin, when it is directed to forbidden objects, moves towards the acquisition of things contrary to the Law of God. Metaphorically, the expression signifies all that is as dear and as necessary as these important members. Such occasions of sin we must at once and absolutely cast aside. It includes also persons as well as things. Friends the dearest must be parted from if their presence, or conversation, or habits cause evil thoughts or encourage evil acts. In the presence of such offences, ties the nearest must be snapped asunder. Loneliness, isolation, is better than companionship in wickedness. It has been well said by Olshausen that the hand and the foot may denote mental powers and dispositions; and the warning is given that their over-cultivation may prove an obstacle to the spiritual life, and must be accordingly checked. We may also descry in the paragraph an admonition against making too much of skill, dexterity, and adroitness in business and occupation. There is a subtle snare in them; they may draw the heart away from God, and must be restrained and modified, so as not to interfere with the cultivation of religion and the care of the soul. Enter into life. This is an addition not found in the sermon on the mount; it refers to the eternal life which, beginning on earth, is consummated in heaven. Everlasting fire (τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον). This is the first time that this phrase occurs. Whatever these words may mean, there can be no doubt that they signify, and are intended to signify, some awful kind and extent of punishment, the fear of which may deter from such sins as incur it. It is not morally expedient to minimize the force of such terms by disputing about the exact connotation of "aeonian." When we remember that the words are spoken by the loving and pitiful Saviour, we must allow that they point to some dreadful reality, the import of which he knew, and which he thus mercifully veiled from us as not able to bear the full revelation (see on Matthew 25:46). Matthew 18:8.”

Mat 25:41, “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you accursed people, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Originally the eternal God prepared Hell the eternal fire for the devil and his angels. However, there are men who follow the devil will be cast into Hell.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 41. - Unto them on the left hand. The sentence on these is comprised in vers. 41-45. It is conveyed in terms parallel to that on the righteous; but how infinite the difference! Depart from me! Not "Come!" (ver. 34). What a world of misery is contained in this word, "Depart"! As the light of God's countenance is happiness, so banishment from his presence is utter woe. What it implies we know not; we will not attempt to imagine. God preserve us from ever knowing! Ye cursed. He had called the righteous, "blessed of my Father;" he does not term these, "cursed of my Father," because God willeth not the death of a sinner. "Not he laid the curse upon them, but their own works" (St. Chrysostom, in loc.). It was no part of God's design that any of his creatures should suffer this misery. "God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. For he created all things, that they might have their being...but ungodly men with their words and works called death unto them" (Wisd. 1:13, etc.). Into everlasting fire (τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον, the fire which is even lasting). To the poignant regret for the loss of happiness and of the presence of God there is added physical anguish, expressed metaphorically by the term "fire." This is called everlasting, and however in these days of compromise we may seek to minimize or modify the attribute, it was so understood by our Lord's hearers (see below on ver. 46). Prepared for the devil and his angels. This region or sphere of torment was not, as the kingdom of the righteous, prepared for man originally; it was particularly designed (τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον) for Satan and his myrmidons (see 2 Peter 2:4, 9), and will not be perfected till the last judgment (Revelation 20:10). There is no hint of its being remedial or corrective; and what it is to the devil it must be to those who share it with him. It is man's own doing that he is unfit for the company of saints and angels, and, having made himself like unto the evil spirits by rebellion and hatred of good, he must consort with them and share their doom. It seems as though there were no proper place for man's punishment; there is no book of death corresponding to the book of life (Revelation 20:12, etc.); the wicked are in an anomalous state, and, shut out by their own action from their proper inheritance, fall into the society of demons. How to reconcile this destiny, which seems inconceivably terrible, with God's mercy, love, and justice, has always proved a stumbling block to free thinkers. It is, indeed, a mystery which we cannot understand, and which Christ has purposely left unexplained. We can only bow the head and say, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25). Matthew 25:41.”

Mat 25:46, “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Hell is eternal fire because it is eternal punishment.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 46. - Shall go away. Bengel notes that the King will first address the righteous in the audience of the unrighteous, but these last will be dismissed to their place of punishment before the others actually receive their reward. Thus the evil will see nothing of the life eternal, while the good will be bold the vengeance inflicted on the others (Matthew 13:49). Into everlasting punishment (εἰς κόλασιν αἰώνιον)... life eternal (everlasting, ζωὴν αἰώνιον). The same term is used in both places, and ought to have been so translated. The word κόλασις in strict classical usage denotes punishment inflicted for the correction and improvement of the offender, τιμωρίΑ being employed to signify punishment in satisfaction of outraged justice, or to revenge an injury. But it is open to doubt whether the former term is to be taken in its strictest sense in the New Testament. A ceaseless controversy rests on the meaning of αἰώνιος, some contending that it signifies "everlasting," and nothing else; others that its sense is modified by the idea to which it is attached; and others again that it ought to be rendered by "aeonian," to which is given an indeterminate signification governed by our conception of the duration expressed by men. This is not the place to discuss this perplexing question, nor shall I attempt to dogmatize upon the problem. Suffice it to make these few observations. On the one hand, taking the literal sense of our Lord's words, and the meaning which his hearers would attach to them, we must believe that the risen life and the second death are equally everlasting (see Judith 16:17; Ecclus. 7:17; 4 Macc. 12:12). And if it is thought that eternity of punishment is incompatible with love and benevolence, and inequitable as the penalty of offences committed in time, it must be remembered that eternity of reward is infinitely beyond all human claims, and bears no proportion to the merits of the recipient. Nor may we reason from our conception of the nature and attributes of God; how these attributes work harmoniously together, though seemingly opposed, we cannot presume to determine. The consequences of sin even in this world are often irretrievable, as are some human punishments. We have no reason to suppose that punishment is inflicted only for the correction of the criminal (see on ver. 41), nor is it possible to conceive how this result could be effected by condemning him to the society of devils. Further, we have to regard the heinousness of sin in God's sight, remembering the infinite price paid for its expiation. And lastly, the doctrine does not depend upon this passage only, but is supported by many other statements in both the Old and New Testaments: e.g. Isaiah 66:24; Daniel 12:2; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Revelation 21:8. Such are some of the chief arguments in favour of the everlasting nature of future punishment. On the other hand, we have to remark that our Lord is here not concerned with teaching this doctrine of eternity; he assumes the authorized view of the matter, and draws his awful lesson from that view. It is certainly true that the meaning of αἰώνιος is not fixed and uniform; it is conditioned by the term to which it appertains. No one would say that "everlasting" was applied to God and to a mountain in the same sense; and though it seems incongruous to find a difference of meaning in the same sentence, yet there may be reasons for distinguishing the signification of the qualifying adjective in the terms "eternal life" and "eternal punishment." God, indeed, cannot draw back from his promise, but he may be more merciful than the tenor of his threats seems to imply. It is possible that "aeonian" may denote merely indefinite duration without the connotation of never ending. Such like are the pleas brought forward to lessen the plain enunciation of the awful truth. For myself I do not see any escape from the import of the statement, nor any hope of amelioration in the case of the lest, when relegated to the scene of their penal existence (see on Matthew 18:8, 9). But I set no bounds to the Divine mercy and wisdom; and God may see a mode of reconciling his strict justice with his desire of man's salvation, which our finite understanding cannot grasp. All we can say here is that infinite misery and infinite happiness are set before us, and that God has thus shown the two ends without reserve or possible modification, in order that we may be aroused to shun the one and to win the other. "From thy wrath, and from ever lasting damnation, good Lord, deliver us." Matthew 25:46.”

The following Scriptures reinforce the eternal nature of Hell.

2Th 1:9, “These people will pay the penalty of 

eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.”

Heb 6:2, “of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and about the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.”

Jde 1:6, “And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under 

darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

Jde 1:7, “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”

Hell fire is eternal or everlasting, because God’s judgement is eternal, the punishment is eternal, and the destruction is eternal. I am wring to let you know you have a choice.  

Psa 112:10, “The wicked will see it and be vexed, He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked will perish.”

Psa 92:9, “For, behold, Your enemies, LORD, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do injustice will be scattered.”

Deu 4:26, “I call Heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that you will certainly perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to take possession of it. You will not live 

long on it, but will be utterly destroyed.”

Deu 8:19, “And it shall come about, if you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and serve and worship them, I testify 

against you today that you will certainly perish.”

Deu 8:20, “Like the nations that the LORD eliminates from you, so you shall perish, because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God."

Deu 28:20, “The LORD will send against you curses, panic, and rebuke, in everything you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have abandoned Me.”

Deu 28:22, “The LORD will strike you with consumption, inflammation, fever, feverish heat, and with the sword, with blight, and with mildew, and they will pursue you until you perish.”

Jos 23:16, “When you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.”

and the hope of the godless will perish.”

Psa 73:27, “For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.”

Psa 92:9, “For, behold, Your enemies, LORD, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; all who do injustice will be scattered.”

Psa 112:10, “The wicked will see it and be vexed,

He will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire 

of the wicked will perish.”

Don’t you believe a false theologian who said that God predetermined a certain group of people to be cast into Hell. For it is written,  

2Pe 3:9, “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.”

God is not willing for any to perish. God does not want you to be cast into Hell. The good new is:

Act 2:38, “Peter said to them, “Repent, and each 

of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Eph 2:8-13, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision” 

which is performed in the flesh by human hands—remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(1 b.) Ephesians 2:8-10 (taking up and working out the parenthetical “by grace ye are saved” of Ephesians 2:5) form an instructive link of connection between these Epistles and those of the earlier group, especially the Epistles to the Galatians and Romans. (Comp. Philippians 3:9.) In both there is the same doctrine of “Justification by Faith,” the same denial of the merit of good works, the same connection of good works with the grace of God in us. But what is there anxiously and passionately contended for, is here briefly summarised, and calmly assumed as a thing known and allowed. Even the technical phrases—the word “justification,” and the declaration of the nullity of “the Law”—are no longer used.

(8)  By grace are ye saved through faith.—Properly, ye have been saved; ye were saved at first, and continue in a state of salvation. In Ephesians 2:5 this thought is introduced parenthetically, naturally and irresistibly suggested by the declaration of the various steps of regeneration in Christ. St. Paul now returns to it and works it out, before passing on, in Ephesians 2:11, to draw out by “wherefore” the conclusion from Ephesians 2:1-7. Remembering how the Epistles were written from dictation, we may be inclined to see in this passage among others, an insertion made by the Apostle, on a revision of that already written.

The two phrases—“justification by faith” and “salvation by grace”—are popularly identified, and, indeed. are substantially identical in meaning. But the latter properly lays stress on a more advanced stage of the process of redemption in Christ. Thus, in Romans 5:9-10 (“having been justified,” “having been reconciled,” “we shall be saved”), salvation is spoken of as following on the completed act of justification (as the release of a prisoner on his pronounced pardon); and it is described, here and elsewhere, as a continuous process—a state continuing till the final judgment. Hence to lay especial stress on salvation accords better with the whole idea of this Epistle—the continuous indwelling in Christ—than to bring out, as in the Epistle to the Romans, the one complete act of justification for His sake. It is remarkable that the expression of the truth corresponds almost verbally with the words of St. Peter at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:11), “We believe that through the grace of God we shall be (properly, we were) saved,” except that here the original shows that the salvation is looked upon as a completed act, like justification. It is also to be noted that the use of the name “Saviour,” applied both to God and to Christ, belongs entirely to the later Epistles. It is used once in this Epistle (Ephesians 5:23) and once in the Epistle to the Philippians (Ephesians 3:20), but no less than ten times in the Pastoral Epistles of St. Paul, and five times in the Second Epistle of St. Peter. The phrase in the text is, as always in this Epistle, theologically exact. Grace is the moving cause of salvation: faith only the instrument by which it is laid hold of.

And that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.—This attribution of all to the gift of God seems to cover the whole idea—both the gift of salvation and the gift of faith to accept it. The former part is enforced by the words “not of works,” the latter by the declaration, “we (and all that is in us) are His workmanship.” The word here rendered “gift” is peculiar to this passage; the word employed in Romans 5:15-16; Romans 6:23, for “free gift” (charisma) having been appropriated (both in the singular and plural) to special “gifts” of grace.”

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

13.  but now] under the changed conditions of actual and accepted Redemption.
in Christ Jesus] In living union with the true Messiah. Just before, Ephesians 2:12, we have “without Christ” merely; here, “in Christ Jesus.” The Messiah of Prophecy is now known as also the Jesus of the Gospel.
sometimes] Once, as R. V. The A. V. uses a word now antiquated in this sense, or appearing only as “sometime”—the word used here in Wiclif’s Version (1382), in “The Great Bible” (1539), and the Rhemish Version (1582).
far off … nigh] That is, from and to the Citizenship of Israel and the Covenants of promise; the realm, in fact, of Messiah. Cp. Acts 2:39, and see Isaiah 57:19.—The thought of remoteness and nearness in respect of God is of course implied, and comes out clearly in Ephesians 2:18; but it is not the immediate thought of this passage, which rather speaks of the incorporation of once heathen souls into the true Israel. But the two views cannot be quite separated.—“Nigh” and “far” were familiar terms with the Rabbis in the sense of having or not having part in the covenant. Wetstein on this verse quotes, inter alia, the following from the Talmud: “A woman came to R. Eliezer, to be made a proselyte; saying to him, Rabbi, make me nigh. He refused her, and she went to R. Joshua, who received her. The scholars of R. Joshua therefore said, Did R. Eliezer put her far off, and dost thou make her nigh?”
by the blood of Christ] Lit. and better, in the blood, &c. To illustrate the phrase cp. Hebrews 9:22; Hebrews 9:25; “almost all things according to the law are purged in blood;” “the High Priest entereth the Holy Place … in blood not his own.” Whatever the first use of the phrase, it had thus become an almost technicality of sacrificial language, nearly equalling “with (shed) blood” as the accompanying condition of acceptable approach. It is not necessary to import into the idea here the other, though kindred, idea of washing in blood, or even of surrounding with a circle of sprinkled blood. The “in” is, by usage, as nearly instrumental as possible. The sacred bloodshedding of the Messiah’s sacrificial death for His true Israel was the necessary condition to, and so instrument of, the admission of the new Gentile members. It is the “blood of the covenant” (Exodus 24:8; quoted Hebrews 9:20); and cp. the all-important words of the Lord Himself (Matthew 26:28), “This is My blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

Christians are under the blood of the covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins. If you would repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, your Lord and Savior, the Word of God guarantees you will not cast into Hell.  On the contrary, Rom 4:7-8, “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE 

LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. “BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”

Mat 25:32-34,”And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

This is not written to mock at those who may be cast into Hell. This is written so that you may avoid Hell and eternal fire.

Will you come now and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

To receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is to receive the eternal life.

The following beautiful pictures are provided by FREEIMAGES, photographer Roxana ANGHEL.

There has been undeclared war in the southern border between Mexico and America, which has been neglected by previous American administrations. Mexico flagrantly serves as the open conduit for illegal migrants to enter the United States. The US must bomb Mexico to warn them there can not be business as usual. America must use its powerful military to patrol the border 24 hours. Fire and shoot at unlawful migrants who climb the wall; who try to destroy the wall; who do graffiti on the wall; who congregate within 100 feet of the wall; who cross the river; who cut the wire to deter the invasion. America declares to REJECT all asylum applicants for 100 years. No humanitarian aid shall be given to any unlawful migrants.

Hamas should be held responsible for killing hostages and be punished. The UN chief speaks and supports terrorists should be gone. All UN high-paid officials should be replaced; and UN to be reformed in 100 days. It is a false peace. Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, Rafah, etc. are Jewish lands.  UN, WHO, Arab-Muslim-Black nations and Palestinian Authority speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis without making any demand. Palestinians do not have homeland in Jewish lands. They must evacuate from Jewish lands and go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state.  That would be true peace.

CHINA is the most unusual nation on earth. The craftsmen or artisans of Tang, Sung, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties created untold and immense treasures for China.  Western nations like Britain, US, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Japan (8-nation alliance) attacked, burned, robbed and stole China national treasures at market value of more than US$100,000 trillion dollars. It is better to return them to China now, not wait until China makes demands by military force. Shame on Western nations who claim or pretend to be Christian. For the last 500 years, the manifest evils of the West are imperialism, colonialism and capitalism.

Today Chinese rescue workers respond to any natural disaster, the speed and service they built tents and houses unmatched by any nation. The American homeless people would rejoice just to have the Chinese tents. China must not waste its resources on the lazy people and unproductive peoples who 

eat and get fat, drink alcohol, sing and dance, have sex and produce many unwanted children they cannot support; like to play, enjoy games and sports but 

dislike hard work and discipline; cannot

even produce food and basic necessities.

Xizang earthquake demonstrates what the Chinese government cares and does for its people. Joe Biden in his last days still gives substantial military aid to the Ukrainians.  What does the U.S. government do for Californians in Los Angeles wildfires? The world must know the truth.

Japan intends to swallow up the United States Steel in order to control the American economy. This should be an eye-opener to the U.S. government that Japan is not a genuine ally. The US government made a  big mistake in rearming Japan. Singapore and Malaysia are wise to establish a special economic zone. Many underdeveloped nations fool China in holding one-China policy. By doing so they think they deserve China’s economic and financial aid. India has conflict of interest in Bricks, it is better to withdraw and  Indonesia is wise to join Bricks.

Leaders and politicians of Palestinians are evil and guilty because they lead Palestinians to the path of death and destruction through illegal occupation of the Jewish land and support of the terrorists. They give false hope to Palestinians in so-called “two state solutions”. Palestinians are Arabs, no one would object to Palestinians building a Palestinian state in an Arab land. When Palestinians want to build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land, that is the cause of conflict. Palestinians speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. Palestine leaders and politicians should evacuate all Palestinians from the land of the Jews and go to Arab lands to build a Palestinian state. That would be peace.

The Internet is a cesspool of corruption, fraud and iniquity. No nation polices and punishes their wrongdoings. Money making individuals and institutions would invade your computer to push their products even rejected. Many famous American universities and institutions are selling their fraudulent products for incurable problems. Many individuals and institutions claim to be Christian and shamelessly and aggressively ask for donations. Many sell famous works in public domain through subscriptions and purchases. Many distort and pervert the Word of God but ask for donations.

Any nation which restricts, bans, or interferes with China’s activities is illegal and unlawful. China can do anything within its sovereignty that does not violate the international law.

To appease the fury and wrath of South Koreans, the impeached Yoon and all those who blocked his arrest shall be executed once and for all.  Maybe Yoon should experience the 4-horses treatment. South Korea is the nation the world should not be: all incompetent, chaotic and useless.

Henceforth beginning 2025 all undeveloped nations must work, discipline and be responsible to produce their own food and other necessities; all international aid will be terminated beginning November 2025. Undeveloped nations cannot do as usual in dancing, singing, drinking and sporting. They must work hard to support and save themselves. Based on the Biblical principle, 2Th 3:10, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”

THE WEST (US, BRITAIN, CANADA, EU) BEING EVIL AND FOUND GUILTY OF SANCTIONING CHINA ALL BECAUSE THEY COVET XINJIANG AND XICHANG AND HONG KONG, USE TAIWAN AND SOUTH CHINA SEA TO ATTACK CHINA’S SOVEREIGNTY.

On the one hand, some White experts pretend to make good suggestions to improve China economy; they may fool many Chinese, I can see malice, envy and ill will through their awkward faces. On the other hand, Black leaders and politicians play coy and con China to support their development for nothing. China must not be fooled and must use its hard-earned meager resources wisely to do the following strategic projects:

• 1.  China should have unswerving commitment only to itself. China should not waste money on useless and unworthy undeveloped countries. Not one nation is grateful. Deficits and debts are bad. China cannot save the world, China must save itself.

2.  Make deserts green and reduce sand storms.

3.  Repair the Great Walls. Build sea walls around Hainan Island, Shanghai, etc. to prevent climate change that sea water will rise.

4.  Promote night markets in big cities and promote domestic travel to expand the economy. Deficits and debts are bad; fiscal surplus is good.

5.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud through Telecom and Internet of more than ONE million yuan. IT is not known who polices the rampant international crooks and criminals who defraud the public by famous American universities and institutions who sell high-priced fake drugs such as to cure knee pain and prevent knee surgery and ear ringing, etc.  Sweep clean fraudulent commercials on TV and the Internet.

6.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud in foreign nations and do not bring them home. Faces and names of deceivers must be published on TV to shame them and their families.

7.  Increase and strengthen the development and deployment of nuclear weapons for self-defence.

8.  Streamline and reduce national and local government debts and deficits.

9.  Train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors and MANAGERS, machinists in the next 5 years.

10.  Assist the poor Chinese in the rural areas first.

11.  Improve mechanized agriculture, and upgrade technology in every field.

12.  Streamline management of central and local governments.

13.  Enforce laws to reduce the number of criminal individuals and organizations in many areas.

14.  Execute crooks and criminals who create rumors and conduct espionage that harm national security.

15.  Reorganize personnel of CGTN and restructure its programs.

16.  Protect the environment and punish severely individuals and organizations who dump industrial waste and toxic materials on lands, soils, water ways, lakes and rivers, and seas.

17.  Remove all fraudulent commercials and fake advertisements from TV and Internet and punish the culprits severely. Violent gaming produces violent culture. Violent culture destroys any nation.

18.  Make it easy for Overseas Chinese to come to China and make their investments.

19.  Reward universities that earn and win NOBEL prizes.

20.  Conduct ditching and dredging of lakes and rivers to prevent flooding before extreme weather.

21.  Innovate and increase therapeutic and pharmaceutical capabilities to produce various vaccines and preventive medicines.

22.  Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

23.  Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

24.  Subsidize elderly apartment renting by 30%, if elderly live with their children, their monthly mortgage will reduce also by 30%.

25.  Severely punish companies that manufacture fake or low quality products.

26.  The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

27.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

28. Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

29. Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

30. The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

31. Mandate providing access to elderly and invalid wheelchairs.

32.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

33.  Prohibit anyone to smoke on TV or in movies. Reduce individual gun violence except in war movies.

34.  Execute Hong Kong residents who commit treason or to be exiled permanently. Hong Kong is fortunate to have food, fuel and water, etc. provided by Mainland China. Hong Kong should start de-Biritishization by changing all English street names, for example Victoria Peak should be replaced by Deng Xiaoping Peak.

35.  No one speaks Portuguese except Portugal and Brazil. Macao should not hamstring its residents, but replace Portuguese with the English language the sooner the better.

36.  Increase, innovate, and modernize public and private toilet facilities.

37.  Punish severely those who violate smoking and drinking on buildings, trains, ferries, and airplanes; the third violation deserves to be executed.

38.  China needs to make Christmas a national holiday to facilitate the big Christmas business in China.

39.  Execute leading organized criminals, attack every form of terror, and destroy vigorous lawlessness.

40.  Penalize severely those who have licenses but do not know how to drive or violate traffic rules and regulations on purpose.

41.  To deter and  destroy corruption, China needs to execute any officer who commits corruption of more than CNY one million.

42.  Execute anyone who counterfeits money and seize all his/her assets.

43.  Use force to liberate Taiwan and execute traitorous leaders of the People’s Progressive Party (民進黨) publicly.

How to solve global hunger and poverty? There are nations and peoples who deserve to suffer hunger and poverty. For example, Palestinians do not want to go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state of their own. They would rather be in the Jewish land and label as refugees so that they can receive international aid for free. There are undeveloped nations and peoples whose leaders and politicians are corrupt, and the peoples are lazy and unproductive; they eat and get fat, sing and dance, drink beer and have sex, produce many children they cannot support. They like the way of life so that they can beg and receive aid freely. These nations will remain poor and suffer hunger in worse situation a hundred years from now!

The Democrats are so bad that they lost the White House, the Senate, and the House at the same time. Joe Biden will go down in American history as the most useless leader in domestic affairs because he has done nothing for the economy; “As of April 2024, President Joe Biden has increased the national debt by $6.17 trillion throughout his presidency”; DID NOTHING TO DEPORT the 45 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS ALREADY RESIDING  IN AMERICA; DID NOTHING TO STOP INVASIONS OF UNLAWFUL MIGRANTS; DID NOTHING FOR GUN CONTROL, ETC. Biden had appointed too many unqualified blacks.

As the most malicious and irresponsible 

lame duck in his last days authorizes the Ukraine war criminal to use the U.S. long-range missiles to strike inside Russia AND gave away: “The United States has allocated $113.4 billion in emergency funding to support Ukraine, American partners affected by the Russia-Ukraine war, and US national security programs.” 

Most irresponsible and disgraced leader by pardoning his son, etc. The US bans Tik Tok because it cannot compete. US bans, controls, investigates, and restricts China because it cannot compete. Biden fools himself by claiming America is stronger. The US is so strong that it commits suicide.

It is laughable that a black politician made a statement on TV, “Africa cannot develop without fossil fuel.” What Africa does not have, can make long laundry list. Years ago when China was poor and did not have anything. Did America and Europe give aid? In fact to these days they are the biggest enemies of China, oppressors, trouble makers, diplomatic obstructionists and military aggressors. In America, the elderlies have to make a choice between taking a meal and medications. They cost $25 each; to have a meal they cannot afford to have medications. The electric bills are so high, even though they have heaters and air conditioners, they die in Summer and Winter. Every year I lectured at major Chinese universities and vacationed in China for 3 weeks when I worked for an American corporation. I noticed my electric bill did not go down even I was out of the country for 3 weeks. The female representative of Edison Power had the gall to say they do not charge customers by usage.

Africa has done nothing to deserve a large coverage by world media. Civil wars, conflicts and constant shortages should be ignored. Undeveloped nations have no hope because of their corrupt leaders and politicians, their peoples are lazy and unproductive. They glorify tribalism, barbarianism and primitive behavior. They dislike work, like games and sports although sports produce nothing. They have civil wars, conflicts, tensions, gangs and terrorists, violence, man-made and natural disasters. They eat and get fat, sing and dance, drink beer and have sex, produce so many unwanted children they cannot support. These useless, ugly, immoral and unworthy peoples do not deserve any humanitarian aid. Ten or more years from now they will get worse and worse.

Is there any future or hope for America when the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court do not uphold the law by deporting 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America on welfare and let hordes of unlawful migrants enter boldly and freely to ruin America???

This is the voice of an old dying American in the wilderness who does not seek money or power.

1.  The new President must attack Mexico militarily for violating American sovereignty, being the conduit of unlawful migrants for years AND drugs trafficking. Drop a few bombs on Mexico City may be a good start.

2.  Deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America and use military to prevent invasion of hordes of illegal migrants from entering the United States and reject all asylum seekers. Build walls and militarize the borders for safety and security.

3. Mexico threatens loss of US 400,000 jobs, US by canceling NAFTA will cost Mexico 4 million jobs.

4. Use military to repel unlawful migrants and shoot at migrants who cut the fence or destroy the wall.

5. Withdraw support from Ukraine, END the war, and execute the Ukraine leader for war crimes and corruption.

6. Enact the law to require citizenship to apply for welfare, and all welfare recipients must work to get benefits.

7. Annihilate Iran, terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis; and force Palestinians to evacuate from the Jewish lands and go to lands of Arabs.

8. America has been playing the fool so long, of course America must be FIRST for America.

9. Former imperialists and colonialists must pay compensations to their former colonies. African nations are big talkers but small doers. Africa must be self-sufficient and receive no aid.

10. A nation has no reason to exist if it does not have water, food and fuel and basic infrastructure.

11. It is strangest that UN, WHO, ICC (International Criminal Court) etc. Speak and Support terrorists HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH and HOUTHIS.

12. It is a felony to harbor, hire or help unlawful migrants or illegal aliens.

Is there any future or hope for the world where the terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis make demands and UN, WHO, EU, all Arab-Muslim-Black nations serve and support them willingly?

America and EU can change the world by changing course, cease all hostilities against Russia and China, like President Nixon sought a just and lasting peace for the world. I believe the overwhelming majority of Americans want this.

I propose the world to impose a moratorium of 20 years on the undeveloped, unproductive, insufficient and useless nations. No matter what internal conflict and tensions, civil war and war with neighbors, coups d'etat, famine, drought, or man-made disasters, the international community will not interfere. Moratorium means no communication, no diplomacy and no aid in whatever form. After 20-year of burning themselves out, many nations will vanish, and those who do well will survive. That is when the international community can help those nations who really want to become decent and respectable and responsible nations.

Israel protesters are so STUPID that Hamas hold and kill hostages, yet they do not make any demand on Hamas. Strange indeed that the UN, WHO, EU, NATO AND ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations do not demand Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis to surrender. The world must wake up to remove useless chiefs of UN, WHO and all high-paid officials. Experts who advocate independent troops should volunteer themselves.

UN, WHO, EU, South Africa, etc. violate international law in speaking for and supporting terrorists. UN was established almost 79 years ago, it has not accomplished anything good for the world; but strayed from the right path. The chiefs of UN, WHO, etc., and all high-paid officials must be replaced at once. UN has 100 days to reform itself to do good.

America and EU can change the world by changing course, cease all hostilities against Russia and China, like President Nixon sought a just and lasting peace for the world. I believe the overwhelming majority of Americans want this.

How much money has the US given Ukraine since Russia’s invasion? Since February 2022, the United States has allocated $113.4 billion in emergency funding to support Ukraine in wartime. 

Updated on Thu, March 7, 2024 by the USA Facts Team

Although the US national debt has surpassed $35 Trillions.

According to https://www.pgpf.org/infographic/the-national-debt-is-now-more-than-35-trillion-what-does-that-mean

1. Protect the borders with the military. Attack Mexico for being the conduit of unlawful immigrants invading America. The military shoot at unlawful immigrants who cut wires to enter America. No amnesty. No humanitarian aid. Depot 45 million illegal aliens who are already in America. Pakistan was able to deport 1.2 million illegal Afghans in one day. The sole superpower could do better.

2. Proclaim the national policy of no asylum applicants for 100 years. America welcomes the immigrants of doctors and nurses.

3. Change welfare with requirement of American citizenship and work. For that reason fat women cannot receive welfare for having sex with many men who were not their husbands and produced many children they cannot support. Make the law requires the man to be financial responsible for the child he produced.

4. Do away with Affirmative Action because it is unconstitutional. The Black interest is contrary to American interest. Under the law, Blacks will be treated the same like other Americans.

5. Reduce the national debt $35 trillion by stopping all foreign aids and foreign wars and government spendthrift.

6. Move UN out of America. Attack all terrorists including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis as well as gangs and junta who commit coups d'etat. 

7. Change the US Constitution with the special clause that stipulates the American sovereignty lies in the hands of American voters; the majority (51%) of American voters through national referendum can remove any elected or appointed official without impeachment process, change the government, change government policy or program, determine national budget and debt, stop all foreign wars, decide wages and benefits and pensions of all politicians and bureaucrats.

8. Give up American empire of warmongering, disband NATO, QUAD, EU and all military alliances; seek peace and justice with all nations like President Nixon did.

9. Outlaw gun violence, ban National Riffle Association; prohibit manufacturing and sale and transporting of any weapons of death. Any criminal who kills with guns are automatically condemned to death penalty. Prohibit police brutality, the community will not pay damages for police who commits crime. Police is responsible for his own action.

Political motive is behind every hostility America, EU, Canada are engaged against China, be it high protective tariffs, navigational spying, economic control, and military operations--no matter how China fulfills every international law and regulation.

Not only America is without God and without hope; the whole world is without God, without hope.

Credit to media, I came to know more and more about Palestinians and Ukrainians; the more I know and understand them, the more I loathe them. There could be peace if all Palestinians evacuate from the Jewish land and Palestinians (originally Arabs) go to lands of Arabs to establish a Palestinian state. There could be peace if Ukrainians forgo their aggressive goal of joining EU and NATO to encircle Russia.

Christians all over the world who want to donate to Israel can do so directly with Israel Consulates or Israel Embassies anywhere.

Willie Wong says, “The conflict of Israel and Palestine can be solved if you are willing to return to the roots of the matter. Palestinians are originally Arabs who infiltrated stealthily into the Promised Land called Palestine under the British colonial rule. Arabs bred like rabbits and called themselves Palestinians. In fact, Palestinians have no part or portion of the Jewish eland. Palestinians have no resettlement right. All Palestinians have to do is to evacuate from Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, all Jewish lands and move to the lands of Arabs and build a Palestinian state of its own. Palestinians should denounce terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Then there will be peace like a river.

The world expands and goes astray with a big lie. Palestinians do not have territories, they illegally occupy the Jewish land in Gaza, West Bank, etc. Palestinians do not want to go to Arab lands to work for an independent state; they would rather occupy the Jewish land to classify as refugees in order to live on international aid for free.

Hamas terrorists are despicable people who hide in schools and hospitals, behind children to get sympathy and protection. Palestinians are despicable Arabs who like to be called refugees in order to live free on international charity, they do not want to go to Arab lands to make a living on their own. As IDF eliminates terrorists Hamas in Gaza and Rafah, so IDF must eliminate terrorists Hezbollah in Lebanon and terrorists Houthis in Yemen without delay. It is strange and illegal that UN, WHO, ICJ, EU and all Arab-Islamic-Black nations recognize and support the terrorists. 

Palestinians do not want to go to Arab lands to work hard to build a Palestinian state, they would rather stay at Gaza, etc. in the Jewish land to classify as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid.

The most deadly characteristics of the age and the greatest crime against humanity is the suppression of truth and glorification of lies. The West practiced by NATO and QUAD is the greatest threat to international security. American democracy as practiced by many undeveloped and unproductive nations is phony because once crooks and criminals are elected president, vice president, prime minister, they practice official corruption and live a luxurious life style, and voters have no constitutional right to remove them. In the last 500 years the former imperialists and colonialists have done nothing good to redeem themselves and pay compensations to their former colonies. Affirmative Action is unconstitutional and illegal, because when a racial group is treated specially, all the rights of other races are violated. A black political preacher was not a great spiritual leader because he was certified by FBI as an immoral man. Unlawful migrants are not refugees but economic opportunists who have no humanitarian rights, they who invade America must be expelled by the military. America must attack Mexico because it is the conduit of illegal aliens through land. America must promptly deport 45 million illegal aliens who are already residing in America. America must keep borders safe and secure by the military. Palestine is not a nation because it has no territory and sovereignty. Palestinians have no right to live in Jewish land; they may go to lands of Arabs to build an independent state. Israel has every right to  destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis.

Since terrorist Iran launched more than 200 missiles to attack Israel, Iran has justified itself to be annihilated and to take out its nuclear capabilities AND oil facilities.

The corrupt Ukraine warmonger should be executed in order to end the Ukraine war. The victory plan pitched by the Ukrainian nincompoop is actually the aftermath  demise of Ukraine.

China has two groups of enemies. One group is well-known, the West (America, EU, NATO, QUAD, Japan, etc.) who threatens China by military means had it not for Russia and China to stand together; other means including economic and financial curbing through monetary policy, high tariffs to obstruct trade, navigational spying, export and import control, supply chain blockade, diplomacy decoupling and defamation, creation of internal disturbances, etc.  The other group of enemies are not well-known who pretends to hold one China policy, wants to deplete China’s financial and material resources, expects China to do all the work and spending for their infrastructures so that their leaders and politicians can practice official corruption, lead a luxurious life style while their people can sing and dance, drink beer and produce many children they cannot afford, and their nations continue undeveloped, unproductive, unmotivated, and unselfsufficient and backward.

There is no hope or future for Africa, unless corrupt leaders and politicians are eliminated, stop singing and dancing, stop drinking beer and produce children they cannot afford, rise up and work hard, discipline and responsibility and productivity.

All undeveloped nations are the same. Crooks and criminals practice phony democracy in general elections. Once they are elected and become president, vice president, prime minister, they are able to commit official corruption, debts and deficits, live a luxurious life style, no integrity, no productivity, no accountability, no motivation -- the people sing and dance, get fat and drink beer, have sex and produce a bunch of children they cannot support. The nations remain useless as before.

This should be a universal rule. Black athletes cannot join White, Chinese or other race teams. They can join only the black teams and play sports or games representing only Black nations.

Japan can redeem itself by taking the right path: 

1.  Confess its war crimes during World War II and 14 years of aggression and atrocities against China. Dismantle the shrine of national heroes who were actually guilty war criminals.

2.  Pay compensations to the victim families of all who were killed by Japanese military, millions of slave labors, hundreds of thousands of comfort women who were Japanese sex slaves, etc.

3. Break military alliance with America, namely NATO and QUAD and kick out American bases.

4.  I believe the Japanese leaders do not have moral courage to do right.

Japan intends to swallow up the United States Steel in order to control the American economy. This should be an eye-opener to the U.S. government that Japan is not a genuine ally. The US government made a  big mistake in rearming Japan. Singapore and Malaysia are wise to establish a special economic zone. Many underdeveloped nations fool China in holding one-China policy. By doing so they think they deserve China’s economic and financial aid. India has conflict of interest in Bricks, it is better to withdraw and  Indonesia is wise to join Bricks.

Leaders and politicians of Palestinians are evil and guilty because they lead Palestinians to the path of death and destruction through illegal occupation of the Jewish land. They give false hope to Palestinians in so-called “two state solutions”. Palestinians are Arabs, no one would object to Palestinians building a Palestinian state in an Arab land. When Palestinians want to build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land, that is the cause of conflict. Palestinians speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. Palestine leaders and politicians should evacuate all Palestinians from the land of the Jews and go to Arab lands to build a Palestinian state. That would be REAL peace.

The Internet is a cesspool of corruption, fraud and iniquity. No nation polices and punishes their wrongdoings. Money making individuals and institutions would invade your computer to push their products even rejected. Many famous American universities and institutions are selling their fraudulent products for incurable problems. Many individuals and institutions claim to be Christian and shamelessly and aggressively ask for donations. Many sell famous works in public domain through subscriptions and purchases. Many distort and pervert the Word of God but ask for donations.

Any nation which restricts, bans, or interferes with China’s activities is illegal and unlawful. China can do anything within its sovereignty that does not violate the international law.

To appease the fury and wrath of South Koreans, the impeached Yoon and all those who blocked his arrest shall be executed once and for all.

Henceforth beginning 2025 all undeveloped nations must work, discipline and be responsible to produce their own food and other necessities; all international aid will be terminated beginning November 2025. Undeveloped nations cannot do as usual in dancing, singing, drinking and sporting. They must work hard to support and save themselves. Based on the Biblical principle, 2Th 3:10, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”

THE WEST (US, BRITAIN, CANADA, EU) BEING EVIL AND FOUND GUILTY OF SANCTIONING CHINA ALL BECAUSE THEY COVET XINJIANG AND XIZANG AND HONG KONG, USE TAIWAN AND SOUTH CHINA SEA TO ATTACK CHINA’S SOVEREIGNTY.

The Democrats are so bad that they lost the White House, the Senate, and the House at the same time. Joe Biden will go down in American history as the most useless leader in domestic affairs because he has done nothing for the economy, “As of April 2024, President Joe Biden has increased the national debt by $6.17 trillion throughout his presidency”; DID NOTHING TO DEPORT the 45 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS ALREADY RESIDING  IN AMERICA; DID NOTHING TO STOP INVASIONS OF UNLAWFUL MIGRANTS; DID NOTHING FOR GUN CONTROL, ETC. Biden had appointed too many unqualified blacks.

As the most malicious and irresponsible 

lame duck in his last days authorizes the Ukraine war criminal to use the U.S. long-range missiles to strike inside Russia AND gave away: “The United States has allocated $113.4 billion in emergency funding to support Ukraine, American partners affected by the Russia-Ukraine war, and US national security programs.” 

Most irresponsible and disgraced leader by pardoning his son, etc.

It is laughable that a black politician made a statement on TV, “Africa cannot develop without fossil fuel.” What Africa does not have, can make long laundry list. Years ago when China was poor and did not have anything. Did America and Europe give aid? In fact to these days they are the biggest enemies of China, oppressors, trouble makers, diplomatic obstructionists and military aggressors. In America, the elderlies have to make a choice between taking a meal and medications. They cost $25 each; to have a meal they cannot afford to have medications. The electric bills are so high, even though they have heaters and air conditioners, they die in Summer and Winter. Every year I lectured at major Chinese universities and vacationed in China for 3 weeks when I worked for an American corporation. I noticed my electric bill did not go down even I was out of the country for 3 weeks. The female representative of Edison Power had the gall to say they do not charge customers by usage.

Africa has done nothing to deserve a large coverage by world media. Civil wars, conflicts and constant shortages should be ignored. Undeveloped nations have no hope because of their corrupt leaders and politicians, their peoples are lazy and unproductive. They glorify tribalism, barbarianism and primitive behavior. They dislike work, like games and sports although sports produce nothing. They have civil wars, conflicts, tensions, gangs and terrorists, violence, man-made and natural disasters. They eat and get fat, sing and dance, drink beer and have sex, produce so many unwanted children they cannot support. These useless, ugly, immoral and unworthy peoples do not deserve any humanitarian aid. Ten or more years from now they will get worse and worse.

Is there any future or hope for America when the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court do not uphold the law by deporting 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America on welfare and let hordes of unlawful migrants enter boldly and freely to ruin America???

This is the voice of an old dying American in the wilderness who does not seek money or power.

1. The new President must attack Mexico militarily for violating American sovereignty, being the conduit of unlawful migrants for years AND drugs trafficking. Drop a few bombs on Mexico City may be a good start.

2. Deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America and use military to prevent invasion of hordes of illegal migrants from entering the United States and reject all asylum seekers. Build walls and militarize the borders for safety and security.

3. Mexico threatens loss of US 400,000 jobs, US by canceling NAFTA will cost Mexico 4 million jobs.

4. Use military to repel unlawful migrants and shoot at migrants who cut the fence or destroy the wall.

5. Withdraw support from Ukraine, END the war, and execute the Ukraine leader for war crimes and corruption.

6. Enact the law to require citizenship to apply for welfare, and all welfare recipients must work to get benefits.

7. Annihilate Iran, terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis; and force Palestinians to evacuate from the Jewish lands and go to lands of Arabs.

8. America has been playing the fool so long, of course America must be FIRST for America.

9. Former imperialists and colonialists must pay compensations to their former colonies. African nations are big talkers but small doers. Africa must be self-sufficient and receive no aid.

10. A nation has no reason to exist if it does not have water, food and fuel and basic infrastructure.

11. It is strangest that UN, WHO, ICC (International Criminal Court) etc. Speak and Support terrorists HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH and HOUTHIS.
