What will happen to those who refuse to
repent and fail to turn to the LORD?
There are three verses that combine
outer darkness with gnashing teeth.
Each were located in the Gospel of
Matthew and are direct quotes from
our LORD Jesus about a future
eventful place of darkness.
Mat 8:12
"But the children of the kingdom shall be
cast out into outer darkness: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Mat 22:13
"Then said the king to the servants, 'Bind
him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast [him] into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' "
Mat 25:30
"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into
outer darkness: there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth."
New Testament [KJV] from the Greek for:
i) Outer = G1857; exoteros; outer
ii) Darkness = G4655; skotos; darkness
iii) Gnashing = G1030; brygmos; gnashing, biting
iv) Teeth = G3599; odous; a tooth, by implication = teeth
Those who are cast into the outer darkness
will weep, and start a feeding frenzy unlike
anything previously known. Those lost souls
become food for the birds of the air and
beasts of the field. The gnashing of tooth,
by implication teeth, will be the devouring
by Satan of all the wicked, ungodly, unclean
mammon until they have paid the last cent.
What they sowed in their lives will become
revealed as what they shall reap. Those who
speak hell-fire out of their mouths shall
one day therefore reap it. Those who seek
to keep their lives will lose it.
alt Gnash = G1031; brycho: bite, chew, grind
Acts 7:54
When they heard these things, they were
cut to the heart, and they gnashed [G1031]
on him with [their] teeth.
James 3:6
And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity:
so is the tongue among our members, that it
defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire
the course of nature; and it is set on fire of
hell.
