There is no such scripture in The Book of Revelation.
Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
You will only find that phase in Mat. and Luke the Gospels, and it is in direct reference to The Nation Israel.

I also believe that they will be condemned. Scripture is clear on this, and, scripture is clear on Satan being thrown into a 'bottomless pit,' and, scripture is clear about his followers going there too.
What does 'Death' mean? I think that is central to everything said and I believe it is forever and forever sufferage and I think our human natures, a good majority anyway, NEED this kind of incentive to follow Christ. Most do not just CHOOSE Christ , they have something happen in their life that shows them God's Love, usually through a dire situation, thus the many testimonies people tell of their lives.
Either way, John 3:16 is clear, if you believe in Christ, you will have eternal life and if not you will perish.
Now does perish mean you will just die a death, like I said, understanding the 'death' word is central to understanding the differece of Heaven and Hell.
One last thing that I believe, the word 'perish' relates to fruit and fruit does eventually rot away but it goes through a process in its perishing, IF that makes any sense.
Either way, whether hell is as you believe, not being where ANYONE goes, that universal salvaton belief, fine, that's your belief, like I said, it won't condemn you to Hell to believe that and it won't condemn Tombo to hell either. it is JUST a belief in where we go, it is NOT a belief in Christ, which IS central to Salvation
Thanks for pointing out that Revelation does not have weeping and gnashing of teeth, I really thought it did. Nevertheless, there is many points in it that speak of hell being a place of torment , and, that is, ultimately, what I think hell is, a place that we will be in 'mental anguish' forever and ever, a seperation from God and KNOWING we made the wrong choice
