I do believe that the physical pain will pale in comparison to the mental anguish of all the missed chances people had.

An eternity of regret of why they didn’t listen when they had the opportunity.

We often think of heaven being so far beyond the best we can imagine, and yet the same holds true for hell. It is worse than we can ever imagine. All the horrifying images of it can’t compare to its reality any more than the most beautiful images can compare to heaven’s reality.

All true. I think that we are limited in that we envision things in a physical sense when there will be nothing physical after this life. As humans in God’s creation, we live in a bottle: all that we observe - mass, energy, dimensions, time - are creations of God that we are temporarily contained in.

Once this physical life is completed, we enter God’s world where is nothing physical and no time. We will either be with God or held away, an eternity of unimaginable torment.
