“For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.” - (Deuteronomy 32:22)
The Bible clearly teaches that the Lord will judge Earth with fire.
The Lord promises to make a new earth where those who humbled themselves to receive His righteousness can live without fear of evil.
To do that, He will first rid this fading world of those who are bent on wrongdoing.
“The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” - (2 Peter 3:10).
This is not mere metaphor.
The very foundations of the mountains will burn.
Mountains are rooted in continental crust, which reaches far below the earth’s surface toward the deep mantle.
Such depths are already broiling, as lava reveals, but its temperature will intensify, according to Scripture.
Isaiah did not mince words, warning repeatedly of fire to come.
“And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day” - (Isaiah 10:17).
“Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire” - (Isaiah 29:6).
Those who reject these warnings will be caught willfully unaware when the day arrives “when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel” - (Romans 2:16).
Whoever will accept this message can prepare for this day of fire.
For those who seek salvation, “ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire” but “to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant” - (Hebrews 12:18, 24).

The Judgment Seat of Christ - believers are secure in Christ, but they still must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. It will be a time of examination and a time of reward. The “fire” of God’s scrutiny will reveal the quality of our works. Rewards are distributed to those whose works withstand the test. The judgment seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment. That will be the final judgment of the wicked prior to their being cast into the lake of fire
The Lake Of Fire - billions of people believe in false religions. Many are "good" people. Nevertheless, they are all lost and bound for hell. Most fail to act on whatever light they may have and God says they are "without excuse." God has made our salvation possible and easily available through the incarnation, substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, and glorious victory over death in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. What we could never earn by good works, He has provided as a free gift
Crowns a Believer can Receive in Heaven - the Bible mentions five different crowns a person can receive in heaven. These include an imperishable crown, the crown of righteousness, the crown of life, the crown of rejoicing, and the crown of glory. There is no reason to doubt God would use actual crowns in heaven. Those who serve well as leaders in the church, according to God's standards and qualifications, will receive an eternal crown of glory
