What is Hell?

Below are a few of the many references we have of the next life for those who are not of God. In these references we read about gnashing of teeth each time, as well as weeping. This tells us they have a physical body to be able to have teeth. And it must be horrible for them to constantly be weeping and gnashing of their teeth. First let's review a few references from Matthew. Matthew 8 Matthew 13 Now we also know the blood is what covers us and is our salvation, the blood Jesus spilt for our sins. Imagine if you were set a fire, someone covers you in gas and lights it, for a few moments that would seem life forever the pain would be the worse imaginable. Now imagine that you are not of God and that few moments had to be re-lived over and over again throughout all of eternity. A normal person in this life that would survive this would after the first few times go insane. But imagine you can not have the luxury of insanity to help you but you stay sane and continue to live over and over the pain and suffering. Ok, not everyone will die like this or even have this happen to them. But now imagine the worse fear you had before you became apart of God and had the fears removed and replaced with love. Now take this fear and imagine it being lived over and over again for all eternity. Some may have the fear of drowning, while others of falling, or being burnt alive. Are you starting to get the point. When God is not in our life fear is real and is the worse thing imaginable to most. And when God is not apart of our life to help us overcome the fear, then the fear can conquer us and without salvation we could spend a large part of this life in fear of debt, bills, rent, health and so many other things. The point is where God is not, that is Hell, and when a person rejects God's gift of salvation they also invite Satan in to torment and destroy them. Now we know we are saved from death, and Hell. Death, because Jesus already died for us, Hell because that is where God is not, and we are going to be with Him. For those of you who might doubt the soul and body going to hell. Matthew 10 What is Hell? Life without God. What is death? Being cut off from God.
My prayer for you is:
But it does much more, it also releases us from this body to go to the next life and receive a new body.
2. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth
Remember to show faith when you pray, then praise and give thanks.
God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
