Well I believe it's real - even just looking at the Earth's core - consist of brimstone now called sulfur and it is fiery hot and the liquid (metals) could be considered a lake 馃

@SDavis What i thought was symbolic that they would be set appart from the Love of God and the mental anguish of the lost opportunty would plague them for all eternity.

@SW-User some do think like you - but from the description of Hell's fire which is called fire and brimstone in Scripture that exists in the center of the Earth. And God will destroy this Earth and this heaven.

@SDavis If it is literal then their bodies would be consumed and they would be dead for the rest of eternity ie no more suffering is that what you mean?

Tells us not to fear the one who can kill the body only but fear Him who can kill both body and soul in hell.
