Rev 20:10 | TNotes | STEP | 20:10 they will be tormented ... forever: Rebellion against God has eternal consequences. While the concept of unending punishment repulses some, it is the message of Revelation and of Scripture generally that God will deal sternly with sin and rebellion by those who reject Christ’s saving work (see Matt 13:42 ; 25:41-46 ; John 3:18 , 36 ; Rom 2:7 ). Perhaps more than any book in Scripture, Revelation illustrates that the unrepentant persist in their rebellion despite the consequences (Rev 9:20-21 ; 16:9-11 ; cp. Luke 16:31 ). Revelation also emphasizes that God is just and deals with sin as it deserves.
