Thoughts
everything in nothing
nothing in life
death and tiny emptiness
hell sits empty
filled only with ash
beauty of creation eternal fulfilled
Lewis in The Problem of Pain puts forward the theory that hell will literally, in some sense, burn souls, and that they will be reduced to a sort of soul-ash, which will last eternally but would be distinct from the healthy, eternal souls in heaven. In this sense, hell will be empty in the way that a fireplace with only ash is empty. It provides an interesting pair to the universalist assertion that hell will be empty because God won't send anyone to hell. At some point (after death), people do end up out of God's reach.
