Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:44, 46, 48
In the country that is now Turkmenistan, in 1971, geologists found a vast underground supply of gas. Suddenly the ground cratered and all work ceased as foul smelling methane gas poured out. The geologists left but before they did they set fire to the gas which they estimated would burn off in a matter of days or weeks. Over five decades later the crater still burns furiously and is known as the “Door to Hell”. What a picture of the awfulness of eternal punishment which can only be avoided through Jesus Christ our Lord. —Paul Young
But you, believers, may rejoice, Satan well knows your mighty Friend;
He trembles at your Saviour’s voice, and owns he cannot gain his end. —John Newton
