What is the interpretation of the very last verse in the prophecy of Isaiah?

“Then they will go forth and look
On the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their worm will not die
And their fire will not be quenched;
And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
 
other translations say "they will become loathesome to all flesh."

When a human being reaches the end of Isaiah, they are considered perfect and sinless...

Every chapter in Isaiah is supposed to signify 3 months of your life...

If you obey God, the time will be shorter, if you disobey God, the time will be longer then 3 months. You might spend 6 years in one chapter of Isaiah.

When you have lived through all 66 chapters in Isaiah, you will become the perfect, sinless human being.
 
THE FINAL JUDGMENT AT THE WHITE THRONE.
SINNERS ARE JUDGED AND THEN CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE..
TO BURN FOREVER... THEIR WORM..(SOUL) SHALL NEVER DIE.. THEY ARE TORMENTED FOREVER.. THEIR SINS abhorrence (DISGUSTING) FOR ALL TIME...
 
Vengence is mine says The Lord with 1-6 trumpets + 7 bowls was what was coming...

HE pushed Her [Babylon with the mark of the numer of the name of the false prophet gog] back into the Bowl and said: 'this is wickedness'.

Joseph Prophesied in the dream interpretation concerning the famine to come and the baker whose bread was eaten by the birds while He was in the Kings prison.
 
Jeremiah prophesied that Jerusalem would burn with a fire that could not be quenched (Jeremiah 17:27), but it burned down to ashes (2 Chronicles 36:19-21). Read those verses and see how the Bible uses the word "quench." It does not mean fire that will never go out. It only means what it says, "unquenchable." It can't be quenched.
And what can we say about the expressions "eternal" "everlasting" which are used to describe the fires of hell? There is absolutely no confusion or contradiction when we allow the Bible to supply its own definition of terms. Many make the mistake of applying modern definitions to those biblical words without reference to their ancient contextual usage. This violates one of the most fundamental rules of interpretation.
The fact is that eternal fire does not mean a fire that will never go out. The same expression is used in Jude 7 concerning the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha. "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
"For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch ... And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 4:1, 3.
But what about that worm which dieth not? Many have read the words of Jesus about hell, "Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:45, 46. Some have interpreted the worm to be the soul. Is that what Jesus meant? Nowhere in the Bible is there any allusion to the soul as a worm.
In this instance Jesus used the word "Gehenna" for the word "hell." It so happened that Gehenna was an actual place of burning just outside the walls of Jerusalem. No doubt, Christ's listeners could see the smoke curling up from the Valley of Gehenna, where dead bodies and garbage were constantly being burned. If anything fell outside the destructive flames, it was quickly consumed by maggots or worms. With the vivid scenes of utter extinction before their eyes, Jesus used the Gehenna fire as an example of the complete destruction of hell-fire. The fire was never quenched, and the worms were constantly at work upon the bodies-a picture of total destruction.
Perhaps the most easily misconstrued text about hell is John's allusion to the smoke ascending "for ever and ever." For those who are unfamiliar with other uses of this phrase in the Bible, it can be very confusing indeed. But a comparison of verses in both Old and New Testaments reveal that the words "for ever" are used 57 times in the Bible in reference to something that has already come to an end. In other words, "for ever" does not always mean "without end."
 
See Mal. 4: 1,3 as I understand this. This is Armageddon--the last battle and the result. The result of the fire will be ash and there is no putting it out till all wicked have been destroyed.
