Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
The Lake of Fire is not Hell.
In fact Hell is cast into the Lake of Fire and comes to an end.
So, how would any reference to an Eternal Hell, or an Eternity in Hell ever hold water? - Therefore:
Hell is not Eternal

Dante's infernoInferno (Italian for "Hell") is the first part of: Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_%28Dante%29

Deu 32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell
Psa 86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Ezek 32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell
Are not all these references referring to different localities?
Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
I know you Dave and I fully expect Luke 16 to be a much larger discussion one of these days
Even Luke 16 refers to 2 separate and different localities within the afterlife

Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. So, the existence of God also transcends Hell.  ? Could we end up at God's right hand - and find ourselves in hell anyway? |

Perhaps Hell is actually nothing more than a fishes digestive system!
Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
