Hell

"The sentence of final damnation is not a realization of the eschaton or telos, God's original purpose in creation. Hell is indeed an end, but only an end without an accomplished goal-i.e., an end which is miscarried. Just as Christ does not realize God's goal and so the eschaton during the interim period in unbelievers, so also hell is no realization of the eschaton with them. What happens is that the decisive character of unbelief produces a miscarriage."

Adrio Konig, The Eclipse of Christ in Eschatology, p. 221
