I propose to the forum that this thread, the lack of engagement from eternal suffering believers and their inability to unequivocally state what is literal and what isn’t** in Revelation 19, is of itself evidence that the the mentions of hell and eternal suffering are, like the other stuff, metaphorical mechanisms.
**except KellyJay who initially said the stuff in the OP was neither metaphorical nor literal but having realised that was an indefensible position decided to call it all as being “literal”. Whether of not you choose to believe that he really believes this is a matter for the reader, but in doing so he protects his precious eternal suffering doctrine. In his own “heart” [sic] at least.

@secondson saidThe challenge is to state what in the OP from Revelation 19 is literal and what is metaphorical.
Everything the Word of God says will literally come to pass.

Everything the Word of God says will literally come to pass.
