The material things are figures of spiritual things,the parables of our Lord JESUS are good examples.By the way,the letter kills,the Spirit gives life-2Co.3:6.The angel of the Lord,John the Baptist,said:he that is of the earth is earthly,and speaketh of the earth-Jo.3:31.

This says he that has the key of David,he that opens,and no man shutteth;and shuts,and no man openeth;

The heavens and the earth,which are now(the 1st and 2nd heavens,the 3rd heaven will be established from now on),by the same Word(Word of GOD,the Word is GOD,GOD Himself,self-executing)are kept in store,reserved unto FIRE against this Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men,the heavens(the 1st and 2nd heavens,the 3rd will be established from now on)shall pass away with a great noise,and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up- 2Peter 3:7and 10 and Matthew 10:28 combined with Isaiah 33:10-14,take a look.

So,our thinking can not be from a mere human perspective,but from GOD's perspective revealed in His Word,you know the Word is GOD, GOD Himself,self-executing.JESUS made it clear saying to the Jews:Mat.23:33-Ye serpents,ye generation of vipers,how can ye escape the damnation of hell?->the hell's fire,of course- Matthew 10:28.Take a look.

Matthew 25:31-34&41

31When the Son of man shall come in His glory,and all the holy angels with him,then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32And before him shall be gathered all nations:and he shall separate them one from another,as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,but the goats on the left.

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,Come,ye blessed of my Father,inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,Depart from me,ye cursed,into everlasting fire,prepared for the Devil and his angels:->these shall go away into everlasting punishment.
