ETERNITY... This immense throng will also include the disappointed. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:22,23). What all eternity holds for the immortal beings is not detailed in the Bible. Jesus did, however, say that those who overcame shall sit with Him in His throne (Revelation 3:21); they will be robed in white, & will have no need whatever (Revelation 7:14-17). They will enjoy every blessing prepared for immortal souls. Those to whom the Judge will say, Depart from me shall go into outer darkness with weeping & gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12), into hell fire that shall never be quenched (Mark 9:43); they shall have part in a lake of fire & brimstone (Revelation 20:15; 21:8). These souls will be mentally alert, knowing people (Luke 16:23); they will feel the torment of hell fire (v. 24); they will understand (v, 26), & they will remember earth life (v, 28), but for the lost there will be no benefits in eternity. Eternity will see Satan, the old dragon, totally & eternally defeated. & an everlasting punishment meted out which will become his gross wickedness. For this purpose hell was primarily prepared (Matthew 25:41). What a gruesome lot to share an eternal place of torment with that most hideous & wicked being, & with all his damnable, evil spirits!
