What do the verses about “lakes of fire” mean if they aren’t about hell?
I know that Hell wasn’t originally depicted a fiery wasteland, since that idea came from Dante’s Inferno, which is just fanfiction, and where we also got the seven circles idea.
But I do know that there are some passages that do talk about such things as lakes of fire, so are those meant to have been lava pools or something?
I’m not entirely sure on where these were written, or even if all of them were by the same guy (I’m yet to read through the bible myself, though I eventually plan to), but if that is known, is there evidence of volcanic/seismic activity in that area where they would have seen such things and interpreted them as such? #religion
