I find it very interesting that in the book of Jude, it says (speaking of very grievous false teachers) -
Jude 1:7, Amplified Bible (AMP)
"[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns—which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in practicing carnal lusts—are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire." (Literal = "aion-ion" fire/"age-during".)
Sodom and Gomorrah's fiery destruction.. openly displayed, as the example of everlasting fire, and of judgment.
-----------------------
Talking about the "city harlot" (Rev 19:3) who corrupted the earth (seven hills of/seven continents) it says -- Young's Literal Translation - "the smoke of her destruction doth come up -- to the ages of the ages"
And Rev 14:11 says -- Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
11 "..and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are? bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name."
Also interesting I think, considering what is said to be the rule that scripture reveals scripture, and often close by, a few words or verses further along.. Jude 14,15 says "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them..." (KJ) [Whereas judgment day, then "those not believing going to the second death" does not occur until 1000 years later.]
Revelation 14 of course is the two harvests - 1st resurrection and Har-megeddon - ("when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire.." (2 Thess 1:7,8 - NKJ).
The smoke of destruction, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. ..Rising up unto the ages of the ages.. Never forgotten?
