As to the first question, this may be expanded as follows: How is it possible for the wicked to be sent away from the presence of the Lord? Is not God omnipresent? (Psalm 139:7-12). The answer is this: although God is indeed present everywhere, that presence is not everywhere a presence of love. Hell is hell because God is there, God in all His wrath (Hebrews 12:29; Revelation 6:16). Heaven is heaven because God is there, God in all His love. It is from this presence of love that the wicked are banished forever.
