I have wondered the same thing. Wouldn't it be terrifying for those evil beings to be awaiting the death of the unsaved!.
In the story told at Luke 16-19-31, the beggar Lazarus died and was carried
by angels to the afterlife. Curiously, the rich man's transportation isn't
specified.
One of the most disturbing scenes I've yet to observe in a Hollywood movie
occurs in "GHOST" starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. When someone
marked for the wrong side of the afterlife passes away, these eerie
phantoms emerge, having the appearance of black oily smoke, uttering
awful moans, and drag their panic-stricken captives down into the ground.
I don't know if that's how the rich man in Luke's story was transported, but
if so; I can well imagine just how shocking and horrifying it must've been for
him at death to suddenly be able to see menacing spirit creatures
surrounding him with looks on their faces that could only convey but one
unmistakable intent; and I suspect those sinister beings had been hovering
around that poor man and stalking him every day and night of his entire life
without him knowing it and patiently waiting for the green light to take him
down.
So, I wonder if the angels that provided Lazarus transportation were not also
assigned as security to protect him from being shanghaied by something
similar to those dark mists.

What a twist of Scripture! JW?It’s amazing that hell is done away with according to the Bible.
“and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire — this [is] the second death;”
Revelation 20:14 YLT98

Nope! Lost humans have the exact same fate, "forever and ever".Only forever for the false prophet, beast, and Satan.
What if you are leading people to the "everlasting fire"? Their blood will be on your hands.There are those who have a part in this fire hut not forever.
Revelation 21:[8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Doesn’t say they will be there forever, and some type of death is experienced but I don’t believe this is death to the soul.
As,
“and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.”
Revelation 22:15 YLT98

Says there is an outside where liars and murderous people stay, outside the kingdom.
With Jesus and his victory today, no one is going to hell. But they are outside the kingdom of God.
Can't compare with leading people to "the everlasting fire" that Jesus clearly warned us about.There is a lot of blood on my hands, but it’s from murdering people in my heart, @Jack. And using that as an excuse would nullify what God has established.
“No blood but my own life is in my own hands, totally judged by God himself, especially at the end of my life.”
I'm talking about "the everlasting fire" that's mentioned several times in the NT.What fire are you leading someone to when you talking about God and Jesus.
The one whom baptized in Holy Spirit and fire @Jack? Idk or you putting in the fire pits of Gehenna by throwing their body into that fire?
Sure but you’re not doing anything but just saying that. What does it have to do with anything? What scripture are pulling from that is used several times? You seem to just take up reigns with fear tactic, or your very own fear of God throwing you into an ever lasting flames of fire of ?????I'm talking about "the everlasting fire" that's mentioned several times in the NT.
Everyone will learn to fear God, now or in Hell, but they will learn.Sure but you’re not doing anything but just saying that. What does it have to do with anything?

I’ve done used scripture to make my point here but you say I am twisting the scripture.
So you just popping up randomly just saying this doesn’t mean anything other than oh boy that everlasting fire!
The false prophet, the beast, and Satan are the only ones promised to be in the lake of fire forever.
Cool thank you for sharing. Love ya nonetheless. Hope you continue to grow and seek God.Everyone will learn to fear God, now or in Hell, but they will learn.
Galatians 6:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
