“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

-Revelation 21:8

In life we have many paths. Many choices. But in the end only two matter.

Fallen we are in a broken world. Drowning in Sin as we try within our own strength to stay afloat. The hands of The World grip us. They arrest our all and imprison us into the chains of said Sin. The Dark Ones tell us that this is right. That this is normal. Blindfolded we are as they tell us what is going on beyond the veil. Whispering sweet nothings into both ears until our minds are engaged into their control. They tell us that we are supposed to be in this state. That Pain and Confusion are the Truth. That Despair and Hopeless are the pillows that we lay our heads upon at night as we yearn for rest. That there is nothing beyond this womb and the life that they feed us. Once the sun sets, Midnight lasts forever.

There is a voice, however, that calls through the dead of night. A Light that pierces the Dark. But what if we ignore His call?

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

-The Apostle Peter

That day will come when the final sun set arrives. When our heads lay once more. However, this time it is the forever sleep.

In time the hands that have locked the chains upon us will pull. They will drag us by those chains to a forsaken place. God forsaken. The sweet nothings will be replaced by screams of torment. For such sweet whispers by the Dark Ones will no longer be necessary. They have accomplished what they have desired. Something like scales will fall from your eyes. They will bear witness to The Lake of Fire. Screaming souls reach for you to pull them free. Until you become one with them. Hopeless and Despair rule here. Learn how to rest on them once again. Such a difficult task, however. Like one trying to dance in the rain whilst the flood waters are dragging them to doom. It is difficult to get used to eternal torment, is it not? As your flesh burns over and over again. No end in sight. If only a drop of water on your tongue!

“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’”

-Jesus, from The Gospel of Luke

Maybe for a moment you are able to pull your mind away from the torment long enough to ask. “How?” and ”Why?” Under the blindfold and distraction of your eyes and ears, you never knew that there was a Hell. Scoffed at those stupid, weak, and paranoid Christians that spoke to you of a man named Jesus. Someone that you were certain never even trod the soil of Jerusalem. Comforted by the chains you were as you shut your eyes to the warnings. The pleadings. To you there is birth, then death. In between a battle to struggle to survive in a forsaken land. Finding refuge in temporal fixes. Then there is nothing more. Now you are here in a forsaken hell. And there is no turning back. Surrounded by the eternal flame. Now taking the place of the comfortable chains. Just no longer comforting. The weeping and gnashing of teeth has begun. Eternal separation.

“But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’“

-Jesus, from The Gospel of Matthew

You had a choice. But it all seemed so senseless to you. Faith in an invisible invention created by man’s fairy tale. You ignored the fine tuned and perfect timing of creation. You never questioned why Man is on a higher plane than the animal kingdom. You never recognized the one true fact that there is a God. The evidence that plays out right before your eyes. No. You just gave it over to chance. Now you have lost your chance. Time has run its course. Your luck has run out.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse…”

-The Apostle Paul to The Church in Rome

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

-The Apostle Paul to The Church in Corinth

You made your choice. Ash is where your body once lay. 

“And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

-Revelation 14:11
