Notice that some parts of Revelation say that the wicked will suffer torment for ever and ever while other portions of Revelation say that the wicked experience the second death.
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Revelation 14:11
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:14
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. Revelation 21:8
Jesus Himself says we should fear God who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell, when the wicked are destroyed!
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
If the wicked are destroyed, both soul and body, as Jesus says, they cannot be tormented for ever and ever.
Over and over again, The Bible says that the wicked are destroyed. They will perish. They will be burned up until they will be ashes under the soles of your feet. They will be no more. They will cease to exist, etc. If you click on the following link: Hell Fire, does it last forever? You will see the Bible evidence showing that the wicked will be destroyed.
So, which is it? Are the wicked destroyed or will they burn for ever and ever? Another important question is this: Does Scripture disagree with itself?
No, Scripture does not disagree with itself. The answer to the problem lies in our understanding of the word forever. Click to see: tormented day and night for ever and ever where forever and ever is explained Biblically.
