Isaiah 30:33

Hebrew Bible

31 Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria; he will beat them with a club. 32 Every blow from his punishing cudgel with which the Lord will beat them will be accompanied by music from the tambourine and harp, and he will attack them with his weapons. 33 For the burial place is already prepared; it has been made deep and wide for the king. The firewood is piled high on it. The Lord’s breath, like a stream flowing with brimstone, will ignite it.

Revelation 19:20

New Testament

19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army. 20 Now the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf—signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. 21 The others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the one who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.

 Notes and References

"... Both Old and New Testaments use other terminology, such as Hades, Sheol, the Pit, the Grave, and so on. By the time of early Christianity they seem to have more or less coalesced in meaning, though they will have had slightly different shades of meaning. While Gehenna occurs 10 times in the gospels (Matthew 5:22. 29,10:28, 18:9, 23:15. 33; Mark 9:43, 45. 47; Luke 12:5 and also in James 3:6), Hades occurs 11 times (Matthew 11:23, 16:18; Luke 10:1 5, 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Revelation 1:18, 6:8, 20:13, 14). This suggests a conception, probably still fairly fluid, which shares elements of contemporary Greek and Roman cos1nology, themselves heirs to the Mediterranean koine, together with Jewish elements, which themselves seem to have absorbed earlier Egyptian or even Zoroastrian ideas (such as the Lake of Fire). The latter is certainly a good candidate though it is hard to quantify the debt. At all events, there is no certain corroboration of Iranian influence, even if it was perhaps catalytic, and the old Judahite cultic associations give an independent source for the fiery image ... An important recurrent key term in these passages is "tophet," the term also used in the Punic context. It has so far defied satisfactory erymologic.al clarification. 2~ Heider ( 1985:349) appealed to Isaiah 30:33,26 which at least gave a description of it, even if it left certain details unexplained. This has a bearing on our broader discussion ..."
