Meditate on Matthew 13:42GWT
« The angels will throw them into a blazing furnace. People will cry and be in extreme pain there »
24 Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field.
25 But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away.
26 When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.
27 “The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’
28 “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.
29 “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”
36 Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”
37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one.
39 The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40 “Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
41 The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will remove from His Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Those who don’t end up in the City of God will end up in another place that I cannot describe as a city.
I can only describe it as a place of endless sufferings because it is a land of unimaginable horrors.
- All the residents of this horrific place are in constant suffering for eternity.
That place is called hell fire, Mark 9:47.
The first thing you need to know about hell fire is that it is a place of torment.
Luke 16:23amplified describes the experience of a man in hell as follows
« In Hades (the realm of the dead), being in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom (paradise) »
- All occupants of hell are tormented non-stop.
In Mark 9:48GWT, Jesus tells us some of the things that torment them
« In hell worms that eat the body never die, and the fire is never put out »
The passage does not say ‘ the worm’ does not die, but ‘their worm’.
In other words, worms will be coming out of the body of the people there, and these worms cannot be killed.
They just keep eating their victims up.
Also, there is an unquenchable fire there that keeps burning the occupants of hell non-stop.
In Matthew 25:41, Jesus said the fire is everlasting.
Revelations 14:11 says the smoke of their torment in hell goes up forever and that there is no rest day or night;
the torment just goes on without stopping for eternity.
A drop of water will be a luxury to the people in hell, Luke 16:24.
Can you imagine such torment ?
There is no nightmare that can compare to the actual experience of hell fire.
There are many passages in the Bible where Jesus described hell as a place where there will be a lot of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Even assuming that the torments are the cause of their wailing, what then would make them gnash their teeth?
Gnashing of teeth is something people do when they regret their actions or inactions.
The people in hell will be gnashing their teeth for eternity, regretting that they did not live holy lives when they were on earth.
You are still here on earth, so you have the opportunity that those people will give anything to have again.
You have the opportunity to repent and start living holy now.
- If you delay until it is too late, you would remember this message in hell and wish you had listened.
Choose wisely.
Application – Think about it carefully: are you willing to go to hell because of that sin you keep committing? If not, stop it today.
