Great point, but that was an allegory. The parable about the Marriage Banquet, was also an allegory. (Luke 14:16-24)

When the Bible speaks of the "unquenchable fire", it is simply referring to the fact that none can deliver one from the hands of the Living God, nor none can save you, or "quench the fire", so to speak, in that final fate.(Psalm 50:22, Isaiah 43:13)

It is also a fearful thing to fall, under judgement, into the hands of the Living God (Hebrew 10:31)
