Tormented Forever and Ever

By Editor

1802.—Tormented Forever and Ever.

Will you please explain Rev. 20:10, "And they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever"?

That there shall be no ever-existing place of torment in which conscious beings shall perpetuate an endless existence of misery is very clear from the statement of Rev. 5:13, where the prophet hears sounds of praise from every part of God's universe; and also from Rev. 22:3, "And there shall be no more curse." The word "torment" in its original sense bears the simple meaning of testing, and the test, to all eternity. For a full explanation of this text see No. 111 of Bible Student's Library, "Tormented Forever and Ever," or "God's Test of Immortality." (Price two cents, of the publishers of this paper.) The reading of this tract I am sure will make it clear.
