Rev 9:3 “And there came out of the smoke *d Locusts upon the earth and unto them was given *e power, as the *f scorpions of the earth have power.”
Notes from the G Bible *d- Locusts are false teachers, heretics, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, doctors, bachelors & masters which forsake Christ to maintain false doctrine. (A few more words in this caption I couldn’t translate)
*e- false and deceivable doctrine which is pleasant to the flesh
*f- that is secretly, to persecute and to sting with its tail as scorpions does such is the fashion of the hypocrites
The Lake of Fire is a physical place beneath the surface of the Earth, you can see it occasionally when a volcano erupts.
Or found in Idumea.....
Idumea is Edom. The Lake of Fire is not in Edom. The center of the earth is an iron core. This core rotates. If you're sitting on this core as it rotated, you would always be climbing up the sides of it. This is why it is called the bottomless pit. The Lake of Fire, as the scriptures tell, is below the sea.
If read my original comment, I said that "some scholars" state this.
"I find it interesting that some scholars say in the land of Edom (Isaiah 34:5-10) is to be the location of the 'Lake of Fire'."
These are scholars stating this, not me. I don't share your personal belief. The land of Edom includes the Dead Sea. How fitting and is part of the Great Rift. How fitting if the depths of the Earth opened up there in the end times?
“For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion. And the streams [of Edom] shall be turned into pitch, and the dust into brimstone, and the land [of Edom] shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night or day; the smoke shall go up for the age [not forever see Hebrew]” from generation to generation it shall lie waste. This burning of Edom (an area that borders the southern and southeastern portions of the Dead Sea) occurs when “the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll” (Isaiah 34:4)
I stand corrected.
