Again the point has to be driven home that what was thrown onto those fires did not remain there for ever - the bodies decomposed into dust. "Our God (will be) a consuming fire" (Heb. 12:29) at the day of judgment; the fire of His anger with sin will consume sinners to destruction rather than leave them in a state of only being singed by it and still surviving.
Tena, maana inabidi ieleweke ya kuwa kilichotupwa kwenye moto huu hakikusalia humo milele - miili ilioza na kuwa vumbi. "Mungu wetu (atakuwa) moto ulao" (Ebra. 12:29) siku ya hukumu; moto wa hasira yake kwa dhambi itawala watenda dhambi kwa kuangamia kuliko kuwaacha wameunguzwa huku bado wakiwa hai.
