In 2 Thessalonians 1:8, it says that Jesus will return to earth, "in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."

When God gives this eternal life to a person it is said that the individual is "born again." That should be the ultimate goal, which is, salvation from going to hell, and eternal punishment in the lake of fire and brimstone. The Bible tells us, in the book of Revelation, chapter 19, that the "beast" and the "false prophet" "were taken" and "both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." And it also tells us, that their armies were then "slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse", (meaning Jesus).
