In contrast to such an horrible, endless expanse of literal molten brimstone and searing flames of fire, we will note a word that sheds more light upon the matter. It is the word lake. The Greek word is limneo, which means, a pond. A pond doesn't really describe the awesome majesty or the enormity of a thing wherein most of the world will be cast. With a little understanding, however, we can see that this little pond is of great significance! For you see, limneo comes from limeon and means, a harbor. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance recommends comparing it to G2568 Kaloi Limenes, which means, "a Good harbor, or Fairhaven." Whether the word is translated lake, pond, harbor, or haven, we must keep in mind that neither of the terms suggest a physical size; for this body of fire is a spiritual realm as sure as hell, hades, or sheol is a spiritual realm. Hell happens to be the realm of the dead, while the Lake of Fire is the realm of the living. It is hell's opposite. It is its counterpart. It is the realm of the Living wherein all death and hell is destroyed. It is the final harbor for every enemy.
