I don’t know either. But last night while going to sleep I thought of something. I’ve always wondered how can a spirit be burned or destroyed, thinking only flesh can be. Literally. As far to go out from this world by drowning or fire…neither sounds pleasant. But last night in regards to a spirit being destroyed …I started thinking about the spirit of the world, given not of God? (Makes you wonder about the proverb that the spirit returns to God who gave it) And all the verses concerning the spirit of fear unto bondage.
Ephesians 2:2 according to the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 6:12 spiritual wickedness in high places.
1 John 4:3 not every spirit is of God…test the spirits. …This is the spirit of the anti christ that is gone out into the world.
Revelation 16:14 spirits of devils
spirits of false prophets
1 John 4:6 spirits of error
A haughty spirit? Proverbs 16:17-19 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul. [18] Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. [19] Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Point is, I was wrong in thinking a spirit can’t be destroyed otherwise the spirit of the world, the spirit of disobedience, the spirit of wickedness in high place, an haughty spirit, the spirit of the anti christ, the spirit of false prophets and the spirit of error, the spirit of devils, the spirit of fear unto bondage again and the spirit of slumber …which all leads to death…if that spirit can’t be done away with then it all continues. What kind of Fire can do away with the spirit of the world which leads to death? Can a literal fire destroy and overcome the spirit of death and loss?
including sin ?Interesting thoughts, something to ponder about. I know that my belief is Jesus Christ overcame everything.

• Rev 21:8 . . But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in
the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
I gather from the passage above that the lake will take on the appearance of
an apple bobbing tub with all that dead meat floating around out there
because dishonesty and immorality account for a pretty large segment of the
world's population.

Psalm 11:5-7 The Lord tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates. [6] Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. [7] For the righteous Lord loves righteousness; his countenance does behold the upright.
Psalm 11:6 Lexicon: Upon the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
what is burning wind? will be their portion (part) of their cup…which is the second death?
Habakkuk 2:12-16 Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity! [13] Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? [14] For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. [15] Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that puts thy bottle to him, and makes him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness! [16] Thou are filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
What is “drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered”? Colossians 2:11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
