And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Rev 20:10).

  11. Regardless of what happens, we have a home in heaven. • “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (Jn 14:2). • “We know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2 Cor 5:1). • We a blessing to know that we have a bright home in glory! • Do you know the anticipation of future glory?
