The answer is it can't. "Hell" is not eternal because God's wrath ends:

NIV:
Rev 15:1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God's wrath is completed.

NLT:
Rev 15:1 Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion.

Amplified:
Rev 15:1 THEN I saw another wonder (sign, token, symbol) in heaven, great and marvelous [warning of events of ominous significance]: There were seven angels bringing seven plagues (afflictions, calamities), which are the last, for with them God's wrath (indignation) is completely expressed [reaches its climax and is ended]


The Amplified version makes it crystal clear.

Excellent point. God's wrath does not go on forever and ever but His love does. God bless.

Gods wrath is eternal for the wicked and their punishment..

matt 25: 46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

b57, you are making a fool of yourself. We are told quite clearly in Rev 15:1 that God's wrath ends, so it is not eternal for anyone, including the wicked.

Matt 25:46 speaks of age-abiding punishment and age-abiding life, but that is a separate issue.

The fact is God's wrath ends at some point. Your false assertions do not change that truth.

God's wrath in this context or the wrath of God overall against sin.

God puts His enemies under a footstool.

God has feet?

The hand of God......

God has hands?

God sees the wickedness......

God has eyes?

His hair was like wool.......

God is an african american male?

Like a hen who gathers her chicks

God is a woman?

What does Paul say the wages of sin is? Death or eternal hell, Soljia?

Did Jesus taste eternal suffering for every man or did He taste death for every man?

God bless.

God's wrath in general. Eventually God's wrath will end once sin has been destroyed. Rev 15:1 says God's wrath is completely expressed. That means there is no "other" wrath of God's to continue on in eternity.
