Did you actually read the verse? It tells us exactly who is subject to eternal torments:

✔ Satan
✔ Beast
✔ False Prophet
❌ Everybody Else

And if one were to put in a little extra effort and look at the surrounding verses, it also tells us exactly what happens to the people that were deceived.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
So you admit to "eternal torment"! Good.

Yes - for Satan, and the Beast, and the False Prophet.

But traditional Christianity seems to want to send most people to a hell of eternal torment. That isn't what I find written in the Bible. I find that those who die in unbelief are destroyed, or die, or "go into perdition" which also just means they are destroyed.

There will be BILLIONS of humans burning in Hell "forever and ever" who don't believe in Hell. What do you think the false prophet is, a chimp?

God's wonderful plan for humankind created in his image?


Countless billions have never heard.

Matthew 7 Narrow is the way to life and FEW there be who find it!

Jesus said so. Billions will burn in Hell forever.
