Many scientists and researchers
have argued against and dismissed the existence of hell. But some of them have
had to reconsider their stance after the famous “Well to Hell” story of the
early 1990’s. According to the story which some call a hoax, myth or legend, a
group of Russian geologists, in an unnamed place in Siberia, drilled a hold
that was 9 miles (14.4km) deep before breaking through to a cavity. Intrigued by
this unexpected discovery, they lowered an extremely heat tolerant microphone,
along with other sensory equipment, into the well. The temperature deep within
was 2,000 oF (1,090 oC)-heat from a chamber of fire from
which the tormented screams of the damned could be heard. The story said a
certain Dr. Azzacov, who was the project manager, gave this account: “As a
communist I don’t believe in heaven or the bible, but as a scientist I now
believe in hell. Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we
know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we were absolutely convinced
that we drilled through the gates of hell!...
Whether the “Well to Hell”
story is true or fictious, hell is not a myth; it is real. The Bible offers us
a glimpse of it. It is a place of everlasting suffering and destruction, a
place where undying worms feed on the inhabitants – unrepentant sinners and
backsliders – and everlasting fire burns them and they feel the pain
consciously, though they’re not burn into ashes (Mark 9:46).
The horror, torment, and
suffering in hell is beyond human description and imagination. Hell was
prepared originally for the devil and his fallen angels (Matthew 25:41), but
God has decreed that those who forget Him and reject Christ will also be cast
there because of their sins and neglect of His salvation (Psalm 9:17;
Revelation 20:10).
God’s love for humanity is
incomparable. He doesn’t want anyone to end up in hell (2 Peter 3:9), but there
must be a punishments or judgment for sin and disobedience.
So friend, why will you
suffer for all eternity because of a moment of sinful pleasure? Why will you
spend zillion of years in hellfire because of a lie you told for just two seconds?
Why end up in hell when Jesus Christ has paid the price for your redemption? Why
go to hell when you can have an excellent home in heaven with Him? Why, friend,
why? Ponder on these soul-searching questions and surrender your life to Jesus,
for what could you possibly lose if you give your life to Him? Is the life of
sin really worth it? Jesus is the only way to eternal bliss in heaven. Why not
follow Him and escape the danger ahead? Nothing, no matter the glamour and
pleasure you get from it, it worth going to hell for, even if you get the whole
world as a reward. Jesus says, “What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul” Mark 836).
Please, drop this stop the
reading momentarily and kneel before the Lord in repentance. Confess all your
sins to Him and plead for His forgiveness. Jesus Christ, the creator of heaven
and earth (John 1:1-3), spoke so much about hell than any other person did in
the Scriptures. Believe Him, and avoid everlasting torment in hell. God help
you.
