Those in hell will be gnashing their teeth, but not in pain, although there is pain, but in anger.
It strikes me as so strange that the word for "gnashing" of teeth in the Bible actually means in anger. Even though those going to hell are suffering they still are angry at the very God who put them where they wanted to go.
He merely gave them what they wanted, but they are angry anyway. This is the irrational thinking of a run away narcissist. They cause their own pain, demand what is bad for them and then are hateful toward and angry at those who give them what they wanted.
2 Timothy 3:1 "perislous times", means in the original language "ragingly insane."
Those who cannot take responsibility for their own sin and their own actions will judge others while accusing the others of the very sin they do but the others do not.
This is the "ragingly insane" response of rebellious people.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
Because there is no love in the hearts of these wild ones, they justify their hatred and contempt by their own twisted thoughts or the thoughts the devil places in them.
1 Peter 5:7-9 "…7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"
