Where in the Blazes?
The idea of Hell has been weighing heavily on my mind. There are many people that I pray for, hoping they will come to the realization that Hell is an actual place where I wouldn’t want anyone to be. It is a place of torment so far beyond a person’s wildest imagination. It is a place where the human soul is forever separated from the love of Almighty God. The blessings that an unsaved person enjoys on earth will be withdrawn. The Bible says that while on earth, God will make the sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on the just and unjust. (Matthew 5:45.) That will no longer happen and evil will be judged. God’s protection will be removed and the soul will face an eternity unprotected from the by His love in the lake of fire. All of the comforts we feel in this world will be removed. All physical pleasures we experience will be lost. Nothing but memories will remain and those images will haunt us. The longing for a single drop of cool water will torture lost souls day and night. In the darkness of Hell the past will gnaw at the unsaved soul as they dwell in the pits of Hell. An eternity will continue to roll past and there will be no relief. There’s no hope that the anguish will ever cease. God’s mercy will be withdrawn from the souls in Hell as punishment for earthly sins will be meted out.
It seems odd that there are flames in Hell and yet there’s only darkness; a blackness that sight cannot penetrate. It’s true, when a flame reaches 1112 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, it sheds no light. Human skin blisters, reacting to the heat at a much lower temperature. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The condemned will be accosted by extreme dehydration, tormented by longing the memory of a single drop of cool water that will never be realized.
I believe souls in Hell will have their evil deeds parade before them in an unending loop and the many times the Gospel message was presented to them and each time they rejected the gift of salvation. It may be a part of their punishment.
What is the answer? God can free you from the penalty of sin. (Acts 16:31) “…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And thou shalt be saved…”.Jesus said, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is Jesus Christ.” (Romans 3:23-24)
