“The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers,
the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolators
and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death” (Rev 21:8)
How did I end up in this terrible place? It must be some mistake. Am I not a Christian? Did I not go to Church and offer my tithe? Oh, here comes Jesus; I will clarify with Him: “Oh my Lord, there has been a mistake,” I cry. His question sends cold shivers down my spine: “Who are you?” How is that He doesn’t know me? I weep, “Lord, how can You ask me that question? Have I not been saying, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, for everything? Have I not been a member of the Outreach Team? Have I not been visiting so many Homes for the Blind and Orphans and Homeless?” I am shocked when I am shown the way to hell. I beat upon my breast and pull my hair as I go along. I never expected this.
As I fall into the black hole full of fire and smoke I scream. The devils receive me in their embrace. Now I remember how I cheated and lied to my parents, how when I married I fought with my husband and was unfaithful to him. How I served Mammon, filling the jewel box with gold and almirah with saris. How I refused to repent when friends and well-wishers counselled me. I was stubborn and arrogant. I cheated myself. I deceived myself saying, “This is not a big sin,” even though I knew heart of hearts, I was not doing the will of the Father. Oh my God! I can’t stand the heat. I thought the worms would die in the heat. Oh no, these giant caterpillars creep all over me. Oh my God, please forgive me. Please hear my cry. I knew all Your commands but I didn’t think it was this serious. I thought You will ignore my violation out of Your love and grace. To think I have to burn eternally! Oh my God, I wish I had done Your will. It wasn’t that difficult, but I believed the devil that I could repent later on. Oh my God, is there no relief for me? I thought I’d repent later, but death came too soon.
My dear friend, please do not come to this terrible place. If ever you think you cannot overcome temptation, please think of eternal burning and run away from temptation. Once you come here, there is no way out. Yeeeee, Iyooo! To add to my woes, I can see heaven from here and how I am tormented to see what I have missed!
