 Sorry, I don't wish anyone to burn for all eternity 
 they are burned, and never come back... there is no eternity for the fallen

the "lake of fire" aka Tartarus was a literal lava pit that the worst of the worst were thrown into in order to prevent them from reincarnating

you don't pity the flies or the e. coli that makes you sick, you kill it and move on

that which is fallen and corrupt must be constantly fought against and purged or it will drag you down with it

the devil is in everything that rots, burns, decomposes, disintegrates and becomes corrupted, and goodness comes from doing the right things that keep that from taking us down 
 We agree to disagree

I wish you peace on your journey 
 ignoring harsh reality doesn't make it go away

it only makes you less likely to be effective at dealing with it in the long arc 
 I'm not ignoring anything, the world is Satan's playgroud

I love you, and I wish you peace in your journey.  And, I hope you wish the same for me

 he was loosed for 1000 years, and that time is almost up

pretty much the book of revelation's main body is the first and second millennia, and it covers the prior age of babylon as well, which preceded the time of John

i recommend you read it again, and you'll notice that not once but TWICE the angel showing him the visions rebukes him for worshiping the angel, "i am the same as you"

there's a lot in there that you miss

read the Book of Enoch

you will then understand that angels are humans, with advanced knowledge and technology, it is completely lucid in Enoch, and that will cast you back to the times of Noah, which it extensively refers to, as well as the liberation of israel across the red sea, and that many of the "heroes" of the old testament were actually bad guys, like Daniel, for example, Solomon... complete trash, children of fallen angels

in Enoch you will learn that the Head of Days, who predicted the coming disaster that caused the Flood was regretful that they let one of the fallen one's offspring onto Noah's boat, and that this one had pale skin and red hair, like the angels btw

it's a lot to unpack but it's all there you just have to be alerted to a few key points and suddenly you will see it differently

for me, where before i couldn't quite believe in it, though i wanted to, now i understand it and the great news is that before the end of this decade the descendants of the angels are fulfilling their promise to return and "reap the harvest" and leave behind the fallen ones legacy to be burned in the second round of the same thing that caused the flood, and this time they won't fuck up

i know you probably won't believe anything i say but at least read revelation again after what i just explained 
 I will read it with the help of the holy spirit
