Post #172The make of fire or the lake of fire is literal as it will destroy death and hell(grave). Meaning there is no moreJehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 9:03 amSo then the make of fire is symbolic of abolishment NOT torture or suffering?
death, no more grave, no more sin as the wicked, Satan and demons are destroyed.
Revelation 21:4 says;
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.(KJV)

What is the difference between literal meaning and real meaning? Literal meaning means surface meaning or basic meaning of a word or phrase. The meaning intended by the speaker is the real meaning.
I can describe fire in Revelation as real fire and literal fire base on the above definition.
