Matthew 13:47-50
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
God will gather everyone in the end together from every part of the world, but then they will be separated between good and bad for the kingdom - those made just and righteous by Christ, and those left as wicked from birth who have rejected the good news of the kingdom and remain in their sin. The fires of torment are real and, though made for the devil and the fallen angels, those who remain unrighteous in the end will go from net to the fire... People do not want to be accountable to God and deny this as hate speech, but love compels us to warn and offer reconciliation.
