The Judgment
Day: A Solemn, Tremendous and Glorious Scene of the Universal Judgment by Samuel Davies (Free MP3)
Heaven, Hell and the Final Judgment
The wrath of God burns against them,
their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready,
the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and
glow...
Unconverted men walk over the pit of
hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this covering so
weak that they will not bear their weight, and these places are not seen...
All the means that there are of sinners
going out of the world, are so in God's hands, and so universally and absolutely
subject to his power and determination, that it does not depend at all the less
on the mere will of God, whether sinners shall at any moment go to hell, than
if means were never made use of, or at all concerned in the case...
God has laid himself under no
obligation, by any promise to keep any natural man out of hell one moment. God
certainly has made no promises either of eternal life, or of any deliverance or
preservation from eternal death, but what are contained in the covenant of
grace, the promises that are given in Christ, in whom all the promises are yea
and amen. But surely they have no interest in the promises of the covenant of
grace who are not the children of the covenant, who do not believe in any of
the promises, and have no interest in the Mediator of the covenant...

Taken by Storm by Thomas Watson (Review)
"This is the first thing in holy violence: resolution
of their will; I will have heaven whatever it costs me and this resolution must be in
the strength of Christ." "Men throw off all violence and degenerate
into apostasy because they never did duties of religion with delight. Paul
delighted in the law of God in the inward man (Rom. 7:22). It was his heaven
to serve God. A
man who delights in pleasure will never surrender. But the apostate never had
any true delight in the ways of God; he was rather forced with fear than drawn
with love; he served a Master whom he never cared for. No wonder then that he
leaves His service."

Of the
State of Men after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead, From Chapter 33
or the Westminster Confession of Faith
I.
The bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption: but their
souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately
return to God who gave them: the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect
in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face
of God, in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies.
And the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments
and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day. Beside these two
places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledges none.
II.
At the last day, such as are found alive shall not die, but be changed: and all
the dead shall be raised up, with the selfsame bodies, and none other (although
with different qualities), which shall be united again to their souls forever.
III.
The bodies of the unjust shall, by the power of Christ, be raised to dishonor:
the bodies of the just, by His Spirit, unto honor; and be made conformable to
His own glorious body.

Sure Guide to Heaven by Joseph Alleine (Review
on A Puritan's Mind)
"There is no entering heaven but by the strait
passage of the second birth; without holiness you shall never see God (Heb.
12:14)." "Here the hypocrites rottenness may be discovered. He
desires holiness, as one well said, only as a bridge to heaven, and inquires
earnestly what is the least that will serve his turn; and if he can get but so
much as may bring him to heaven, this is all he cares for. But the sound
convert desires holiness for holiness' sake, and not merely for heaven's
sake." "Strive to affect your heart with a deep sense of your present
misery. Read over the previous chapter again and again, and get it out of the
book and into your heart. Remember when you lie down, that for all you know,
you may awake in flames; and when you rise up, that by the next night you may
make your bed in hell."
"But I say unto you, That every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of

Soul
Idolatry Excludes Men out of Heaven by David Clarkson (1621-1686)
"If preaching of terror is legal preaching, then the law
was more preached in the New Testament than ever it was under the Old. I make it appear thus: There are more
terrible and dreadful doctrines scattered up and down in the New Testament than
in the Old. It is a note of Chrysostom that in all the Old Testament the word
damnation was never used, but it is used thirteen times in the New. And it is
observable further that in the Old Testament, though the word hell is often
used, yet it is most commonly used for the grave and not for the place of the
damned. But in the New Testament, except in two places, hell is altogether
taken for the place of the damned, Acts 2:27 and 31. Therefore it is clear to
every eye that the gospel is more backed with terror, and with the doctrines of
hell and damnation, than ever the law was. The preaching of the law has only
"Anathema," but the gospel has "Maranatha" also. Therefore,
all those who are of that seducing antinomian error that cry down pressing duty
such as preaching the law greatly deceive themselves, for Christ Himself and
the apostles and evangelists all preached more terror than any of the prophets
ever did."

and Mercy - The Doctrine - What should we think about the wrath of God? by
Christopher Love
Christopher Love uses an illustration to try
and help us understand what eternity means: "Suppose all the mountains of
the earth were mountains of sand, and many more mountains still added thereto,
till they reached up to heaven, and a little bird should once in every thousand
years take one (grain of) sand of this mountain, there would be an innumerable
company of years pass over before that mass of sand would be consumed and taken
away, and yet this time would have an end; and it would be happy for man, if
hell were no longer than this time; but this is man's misery in hell, he shall
be in no more hope of coming out after he hath been there millions of years,
then he was when he was first cast in there; for his torments shall be to
eternity, without end, because the God that damns him is eternal."

Hell is a place of
endless, easeless, and remediless torment by Thomas Brooks
The Spirit of God, in
Scripture, by metaphors of all sorts of things which are dreadful unto
sense--sets forth the condition of the damned, and the torments which He has
reserved for them in the life to come. Hell's punishments do infinitely exceed
all other punishments, that there is no pain so extreme--as that of the damned.
Look! As there are no joys which can compare to the joys of heaven--so there
are no pains which can compare to the pains of hell. All the cruelties in the
world cannot possibly make up any horror comparable to the horrors of hell. The
brick-kilns of Egypt, the fiery furnace of Babylon--are but as a fleeting
spark--compared to this tormenting Tophet which has been prepared of old to
punish the bodies and souls of sinners with. Hanging, racking, burning,
scourging, stoning, sawing asunder, flaying of the skin, etc., are not to be
compared with the tortures of hell. If all the pains, sorrows, miseries, and
calamities which have been inflicted upon all men, since Adam fell in Paradise,
should meet together and center in one man--they would not so much as amount to
one of the least of the pains of hell. - Thomas
Brooks, "The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures"

Very convicting sermon." - Listener Comments on Sermonaudio
The torments of hell abide forever.... If all
the earth and sea were sand, and every thousandth year a bird should come, and
take away one grain of this sand, it would be a long time ere that vast heap of
sand were emptied; yet, if after all that time the damned may come out of hell,
there were some hope; but this word EVER breaks the heart. - Thomas
Watson
C.H. Spurgeon spoke on hell much being
faithful to warn the masses: "In hell there is no hope. They have not
even the hope of dying--the hope of being annihilated. They are
forever--forever--forever lost! On every chain in hell, there is written
'forever'. In the fires there, blaze out the words, 'forever'. Above their
heads, they read, 'forever'. Their eyes are galled and their hearts are pained
with the thought that it is 'forever'. Oh, if I could tell you tonight that
hell would one day be burned out, and that those who were lost might be saved,
there would be a jubilee in hell at the very thought of it. But it cannot
be--it is 'forever' they are cast into the outer darkness."

there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth and the smoke of their torment
ascends forever and ever (cf. Mt. 13:40-42; Rev. 14:11; 20:10). The righteous
will enter the joy of their Lord and behold the face of God. They will live in
blissful communion with Jesus and lean upon His breast forever. Oh, how this
truth sweetens heaven. Once the verdict is spoken there are no second chances,
no reprieves or pardons. The time to look to Christ with the eyes of faith is

http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=112903233617
John Bunyan the famous Baptist preacher before
his conversion attempted suicide and was given a vision of hell of which he
recounts of a soul there speaking of hell: "Our miseries in this
infernal dungeon are of two sorts; what we have lost, and what we undergo. And these I will name
under their several heads. First then for what we have lost. Here we have
likewise lost the company of saints and angels, and in their place have nothing
but tormenting devils. Here we have lost heaven too. The seat of blessedness.
There is a deep gulf betwixt us and heaven, so that we are shut out from thence
forever. Those everlasting gates that let the blessed into happiness are now
for ever shut against us here. To make our wretchedness far yet more wretched,
we have lost the hope of ever being in a better state, which renders our
condition truly hopeless. The most miserable man upon earth still has hope. And
therefore, it is a common proverb there that were it not for hope, the heart
would break. Well may our hearts break then since we are both without hope and
help. This is what we have lost; which, but to think on, is enough to fear and
rend and gnaw upon our miserable souls forever. Yet, oh, that his were all! But
we have sense of pain as well as loss. And having showed you what we have lost,
I am trying to show you what we undergo. And first, we undergo variety of
torments: we are tormented here a thousand, nay, ten thousand different ways. They that are most
afflicted upon earth have seldom any more than one malady at a time. But should
they have the plague, the gout, the stone, and fever at a time, how miserable
would they think themselves? Yet all those are but like the biting of a flea to
those intolerable, pungent pains that we endure. Here we have all the loathed
variety of hell to grapple with. Here is a fire that is unquenchable to burn us
with; a lake of burning brimstone ever choking us; eternal chain to tie us;
here is utter darkness to affright us, and a worm of conscience that gnaws upon
us everlastingly. And any one of these is worse to bear than all the torments
mankind ever felt on earth."
"But as our torments here are various,
so are they universal, too, afflicting each part of the body, tormenting the
powers of the soul, which renders what we suffer most unsufferable. In those illnesses
you men are seized with on earth, though some parts are afflicted, other parts
are free. Although your body may be out of order, your head may yet be well;
and though your head be ill, your vitals may be free; or though your vitals be
affected, your arms and legs may still be clear. But here it is otherwise: each
member of the soul and body is at once tormented. The eye is here tormented
with the sight of the devil's who do appear in all the horrid shapes and black
appearances that sin can give them. The ear is continually tormented with the
loud yellings and continual outcries of the damned. The nostrils smothered with
sulphurous flames; the tongue with burning blisters; and the whole body rolled
in flames of liquid fire. And all the powers and faculties of our souls are
here tormented. The imagination, with the thoughts of the present pain; the
memory lost with reflecting on what a heaven we have lost, and of those
opportunities we had of being saved. Our minds are here tormented with
considering how vainly we have spent our precious time, and how we have abused
it. Our understanding is tormented in the thoughts of our past pleasures,
present pains, and future sorrows, which are to last for ever. And our
consciences are tormented with a continual gnawing worm."
"Another thing that makes our misery
awful is the extremity of our torments. The fire that burns us is so violent that all
the water in the sea can never quench it. The pains we suffer here are so
extreme that it is impossible they should be known by any one but those that
feel them. Another part of our misery is the ceaselessness of our torments. As
various, as universal, and as extremely violent as they are, they are
continual, too. Nor have we the least rest from them. If there were any
relaxation, it might be some allay. But this makes our condition so deplorable
that there is no easing of our torments, but what we suffer now we must forever
suffer. The society or company we have here is another element in our misery. Tormenting
devils and tormented souls are all our company; and dreadful shrieks and
howlings, under the fierceness of our pain, and fearful oaths, is all our
conversation. And here the torments of our fellow sufferers are so far from
lessening our misery that they increase our pain. The place in which we suffer
is another thing that increases our sufferings. It is the abstract of all
misery, a prison, a dungeon, a bottomless pit, a lake of fire and brimstone, a
furnace of fire that burns to eternity, the blackness of darkness for ever; and
lastly, hell itself. And such a wretched place as this must needs increase our
wretchedness. The cruelty of our tormentors is another thing that adds to our
torments. Our tormentors are devils in whom there is no pity; but being
tormented themselves, do yet take pleasure in tormenting us. All those
particulars that I have reckoned up are very grievous; but that which makes
them much more grievous is that they shall ever be so; and all our most
intolerable sufferings shall last to all eternity. 'Depart from Me ye
cursed into everlasting fires' is that which is perpetually sounding in my
ears. Oh, that I could reverse that fatal sentence! Oh, that there was but a
bare possibility of doing it! ! Thus have I showed you the miserable situation
we are in, and shall be in forever."
In the prophet Jeremiah God said to the hell
bound nation of Moab "I will weep for thee." Can we share God's tears
for those that are walking in the vanity of their minds and apart from God.
Weep Christian!"

The Horror
of Hell by Tom Ascol
"The punishment must fit the crime. The misery and
torment of hell point to the wickedness and seriousness of sin. Those who protest
the biblical doctrine of hell as being excessive betray their inadequate
comprehension of the sinfulness of sin. For sinners to be consigned to anything
less than the horrors of eternal punishment would be a miscarriage
of justice... And that brings us to the fourth truth -- hell is an
everlasting state. Though some would like to shorten the duration of this
state, Jesus' words are very clear. He uses the same adjective to describe both
punishment and life in verse 46. If hell is not eternal, neither is the new
heaven and earth. "

Reasons
for the Wrath of God - Part 4 by John MacArthur, Jr.
"Should we complain that God sits by us as a
refiner to purify us--when
He might be a consuming fire to destroy us? Should we complain that we have to
pass under the rod of His love--when we might have been set up as a "mark for the
arrows of His indignation, and His terrors be arrayed against us?" Could
we look into the lake of fire, and have a sight of the wretched beings who are
there writhing in deathless agonies--we would then thank God for the most
miserable condition on earth--if it were only sweetened with the hope of escaping that place of
eternal torment!"

MacDuff, "The Footsteps of
Jesus" 1856.

Hell Has No
Exits by Leonard Ravenhill
Leonard Ravenhill spoke of this burden-less
condition: "You can tell how bankrupt a preacher is when he prays in the
pulpit and says nothing, 'Lord bless us today, amen.' Forget it! A parrot could
do better in some churches. I believe to quote Whitefield, if I am going to
preach on heaven I should live there a week before I preach. If I am going to
preach on Hell I should get soaked in hell for a week. Bring the atmosphere of
heaven, bring the atmosphere of hell! When we do that the house of God will not be
empty."

J.C. Ryle an non-conformist from the 18th
century writes on hell: "The punishment of hell shall be most severe.
There is no pain like that of burning. Put your finger in the candle for a
moment if you doubt this, and try. Fire is the most destructive and devouring
of all elements. Look into the mouth of a blast furnace, and think what it
would be to be there. Fire is of all elements most opposed to life. Creatures
can live in air, and earth, and water; but nothing can live in fire. Yet fire
is the portion to which the Christ-less and unbelieving will come. they will be
'cast into the lake of fire.' The punishment of hell will be eternal.
Millions of ages will pass away, and the fire will never burn low and become
dim. The fuel of that fire will never waste away and be consumed. it is
'unquenchable fire.' O reader, these are the sad and painful things to speak of. I
have no-pleasure in dwelling on them. I could rather say with the apostle Paul,
"I have great sorrow." But they! are things written for our learning,
and it is good to consider them. They are part of that Scripture which is all
profitable, and they ought to be heard. Painful as the subject of hell is, it
is one about which I dare not, cannot, and must not be silent." What a
fearful thought of an eternal hell! Millions and Millions of years but never
relief or rest. Perpetual ongoing torment unceasing, never ending, eternity,
eternity, eternity in hell!"

Paul Washer said this of hell, "...Don't
think my friend that hell is hell because God is not there... That's a very
popular teaching. [Preachers say] "Hell is hell because God's not
there." ...No, hell is hell because God is there! His wrath is there.
His face is set against them throughout all eternity. Don't think, in hell
you're going to escape God." May the sober reality of hell be in our minds
and heart. May we be grieved over our lack of burden for the lost. "And I
myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm,
even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath."(Jer 21:5)

Others have a little meat, and drink, and
wages, but thou hast the inheritance; others, like Jehoshaphat's younger sons,
have some cities, some small matters given them; but thou, like the firstborn,
hast the kingdom, the crown of glory; others feed on bare elements, thou hast
the sacrament; others stand without doors, and thou art admitted into the
presence chamber; others must fry eternally in hell flames, and thou must
enjoy fulness of joy for evermore. O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good,
for his mercy endureth for ever; to him that chose thee before the foundation
of the world, for his mercy endureth for ever; to him that called thee by the
word of his grace, for his mercy endureth for ever; to him that gave his only
Son to die for thy sins, for his mercy endureth for ever; to him that entered
into a covenant of grace with thee, for his mercy endureth for ever; to him
that hath provided for thee an exceeding and eternal weight of glory, for his
mercy endureth for ever. � O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good and his
mercy endureth for ever. - George

Christian! Your
present afflictions are not great--if compared
with the afflictions
and torments of many of the damned, who
when they were it this
world, never sinned at so high a rate
as you have done!
There are many now in hell, who never
sinned against such
clear light as you have done, nor against
such special love as you have done, nor
against such precious
mercies as you have done!
Certainly there are many now
a-roaring in
everlasting burnings--who never sinned as you
have done!
What are your present
afflictions and troubles--compared
to the torments of the
damned, whose torments are . . .
without
intermission,
without mitigation,
numberless,
bottomless,
remediless,
and endless!
Who have . . .
weeping served for the first
course, and
gnashing of teeth for the second
course, and
the gnawing worm for the third course,
and
intolerable pain for the fourth
course!
Yet the pain of the
body
is least part of pain. The very soul of
sorrow and pain--is
the soul's sorrow and pain! The everlasting
alienation and
separation from God is served for the fifth course!
Ah, Christian! how can
you seriously think on these things and
not lay your hand upon
your mouth--even when you are under
the greatest temporal
sufferings? Your sins have been far greater
than many of those who
are now in hell, and your great afflictions
are but a flea-bite compared to theirs!
Therefore hush your
murmuring, and be
silent before the Lord!
" For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy
to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us."
- Romans 8:18
"For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18While
we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things
which are not seen:
for the things which
are seen are temporal;
but the things which
are not seen are eternal."
- 2 Corinthians
4:17-18
"If Christ on His cross
intended to save every man, then He intended to save those who were lost before
He died. If the doctrine be true, that He died for all men, then He
died for some who were in Hell before He came into this world, for
doubtless there were even then myriads there who had been cast away because of
their sins. . . That seems to me a conception a thousand times more repulsive
than any of those consequences which are said to be associated with the
Calvinistic and Christian doctrine of special and particular redemption. To
think that my Savior died for men who were or are in Hell, seems a supposition
too horrible for me to entertain." (Charles
Spurgeon, Autobiography: 1, The Early Years, p. 172)
