That's OK. It's the same desire modern people have to apply Jesus' warning of the destruction of Jerusalem, not to them, but to us, today.... despite the fact that He told THOSE people standing there listening to Him, that some of them would still be alive when what He was predicting would SOON happen.... (which it did....... exactly as He said, within that generation.)
In the same way, the words are there, and clear, but in our eagerness to know what Hell looks like, we butcher His entire meaning and intent in telling the PARABLE.
