The incorrigibly wicked face a dire fate according to God's pronouncement. God declares that the wages of sin, earned by transgressing His law, is death, not eternal torment. The Bible reveals that at death, both the righteous and the wicked return to dust, with no capacity to feel joy or pain, as all mental and physical processes cease. Jesus Christ spoke of a future time of judgment when all will be resurrected to receive their reward or punishment. For the unrepentant sinners, Jesus Christ described their punishment as being cast into a hell, likened to the unquenchable fire of Gehenna, the Valley of Hinnom, where refuse burned continuously. However, this unquenchable fire does not burn forever; it consumes until nothing flammable remains, then extinguishes. The incorrigibly wicked will be thrown into a lake of burning fire and brimstone, known as the Lake of Fire, where they will suffer the second death, being completely burned up. Their ultimate fate is total annihilation, with body, mind, and spirit utterly destroyed, ceasing to exist. After this destruction, only ashes will remain of the wicked, and the righteous will walk upon them, signifying their complete and permanent end.
