In another place in Hell, I saw the rankest, rawest form of fear that ever existed. We have never seen anything like it on the face of the earth. Every time there was a cry, a shriek, a groan, or any other sound, any time the cracking of the flames of Hell could be heard, these poor, abjectly fearful people darted back into the shadows, trembling and horrified. And I saw more people in that classification than in all other classifications combined! These, the messenger who was with me said, were the millions of people who were too fearful to publicly and openly confess Jesus Christ. Their fears had taken them to Hell for fear of their families, fear of their parents, fear of wife or husband, fear of friends or colleagues, fear of this or that kind. They were lost, filled with an abject fear that tantalized them, as the flames of Hell burned endlessly on.
Last of all, you may be shocked when I tell you that I also witnessed a form of religion in Hell. The music that went with it was enough to make a man tear out his hair. I had never heard anything like this. It was the worst kind of funeral dirge that grinds into the very bones, and into the very marrow inside the bones. Religion! There was no worship of God just a form of religion. And, as I looked at these multitudes, my messenger told me that these were the ones who once had a form of religion but who denied the power of the gospel.
Friend, only the Blood of Jesus, applied by faith to the heart, can save a man or woman from being eternally lost. People in Hell were screaming for release everywhere, but there was no help; for they had ignored the Blood that alone has the power to save. None escaped! The wall of fire that covered the great sphere seemed to be an eternal barrier through which a lost soul could never pass once it had penetrated the flames at the time of physical death.
Oh, I wish I had the power to make Hell as real to you, my friends, as God made it to me. I would give anything I could help you to realize how awful it is. It is ten thousand times more horrible than I can describe. Are you saved and on your way to Heaven? Or, are you bound for Hell?
If you have not accepted Christ as your personal Savior, please do it this very hour. Tomorrow may be too late. God is calling you. He has said, �My Spirit shall not always strive with man,� but He is striving with you now. I beg you, from the depths of my heart, turn to the Lord while you have the desire and opportunity: �Seek ye the Lord while He may be found.� I have seen Hell. I don�t want you to see it.
�For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.� Romans 6:23. �Repent ye and believe the gospel.�
