BRIMSTONE

Probably burning sulphur (cf. Lat. ignis et sulphur for Gk. púr kaí theíon). Except for Job 18:15, all biblical references to brimstone are coupled with fire. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone (Gen. 19:24). The Psalmist uses fire and brimstone as a metaphor for God’s judgment upon the wicked (Ps. 11:6). The lake which burns with fire and brimstone is the final destiny of the devil, the beast, the false prophet (Rev. 19:20; 20:10), death, hades (20:14), and all people whose names are not written in the book of life (21:8).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
