No one can escape from that prison!
(James Smith, "Is it Time?" 1859)
Eternity stamps a seriousness on every subject connected with it.
The soul must live forever.
Hell is eternal.
Heaven is eternal.
The immortal soul must inhabit Heaven — or Hell, forever!
Sudden death would plunge the sinner into sudden Hell — and from Hell there is no deliverance!
No one can escape from that prison!
No one can ever escape from that lake of fire!
"They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire!" Jude 1:7
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life!" Matthew 25:46
