Exodus 3:2
The angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked
and behold, the bush burned with fire and the bush was NOT CONSUMED.
Isaiah 13:8 They
shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in
pain as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another; their
faces shall be as flames.
Psalms 116:3
The sorrows of death
compassed me, and pains of hell gat hold upon me, I found trouble and sorrow.
*********
What mortal mind can even begin to perceive,
this side of hell, what the burning will be like. Let's see if this will give
you another look at lost love ones, friends, etc., and their fate if they are
not saved...maybe even your fate.
Try to imagine for every second, throughout
eternity, your body with the most excruciating sunburn. Add to that the awful
pain of your whole frame scalded with boiling water. To this, add the agony of
bodily movement. The skin stretches. Untold daggers of pain flash through your
body. You want to hold still, but the burning from the flames will not allow it.
The bubbling brimstone makes you scream. Your hair is on fire. Your feet and
hands blister, while you gnaw your tongue, trying to relieve the torment. Your
throat is raw from screaming and wailing. Spasms of anguish drop you into the
your mouth; runs down your throat and into your stomach. You are on fire inside
and outside. Lava, red hot and smoking, flows in your ears. As your eyes try to
focus in the endless, everlasting, permanent dwelling place of total torment and
torturess surroundings with your burning and a feeling of melting of your eyes
overwhelms you, you look and focus on worms that have totally engulfed your
body. They are crawling on and in you. You can feel them. A scream comes from
your burning, flaming, fiery lips. A cry for "Water" is felt
throughout your whole being.
You are falling in the darkness. You feel
something solid. Oh, if you only could stop falling! Your body tries to cling to
the solid surface. Suddenly...you are slipping. Again, you fall into the
bubbling lake. You swallow another mouthful of burning slime. The horrid smell
of blazing sulphur combine with the sickening odor of burning hair and scorched
flesh. Nausea overwhelms you.
Something suddenly reaches out of the darkness
and grasps you in terror. They begin to gnash on you with their teeth. All the
time you are both screaming at the top of your lungs. You shake the gnashing
person off in the darkness. Breathing heavily from the concentrated exertion,
you fill your lungs with smoke. While you cough and gasp, the word
"WATER!!!" escapes your inflamed lips again. Your throat is on fire.
Your tongue feels like a white-hot iron against the parched roof of your mouth.
Your gums pulsate with agony, while every nerve in your teeth stabs you with
flashes of indescribable permanent pain.
The roar of the flames and the piercing
screams of the doomed and the damned seem to tear at your eardrums. Oh, for just
a moment of silence! But it never comes.
You can't run away this time. Thoughts of
law-abiding so-called Christians didn't tell you of this place. Additionally,
your thoughts go to and fro from the time you were in a Bible-believing,
preaching church. Thoughts you can so clearly remember. You remember the time
when the preacher was talking to you about this hopeless place of darkness and
pain. He talked about Jesus and His saving Blood.......
"He told me that I was a sinner! Now I accept Jesus as my
Saviour. I accept what He did for me on the cross. Can't you hear me? I want to
be saved! You know, born again! What the preacher said! Won't you listen? Can't
you hear? Another scream escapes your burning lips.!"
For eternity you scream those words again and
again, over and over, repeating these words, but alas, they go nowhere. Words,
meaningless words that can't be heard by God Almighty, but by the doomed. I want
to be born again! Can't you hear me! Why didn't someone tell me! Why didn't they
continue to tell me when I had ignored them! Didn't they care! The doomed tell
you it won't work. Your words are not heard. The living and their prayers can't
help. Their money won't help you here. You are condemned here for eternity just
as we are. Another scream escapes your burning lips, "NO!"
