HELL -JESTING ABOUT
Sinners in hell are not the fools they were on earth; in hell they do not laugh at
everlasting burnings; in the pit they do not despise the words, “eternal fire.” The
worm that never dieth, when it is gnawing, gnaws out all joke and laughter; you may
despise God now, and despise me now for what I say, but death will change your
note. 130.191
So will it be with any of you who have ridiculed the gospel of Christ, you will find in
the great and terrible day of the Lord, that your laughter shall have no power over
death, and win you no reprieve from the agonies of hell. There will be no room for
infidelity in that tremendous day. God will be all too real to you when he tears you in
pieces, and there is none to deliver; and the judgment will be all too real when the
thunder claps shall wake the dead, and the books shall be opened and read by the
blaze of lightning, and the sentence shall be pronounced, “Depart, ye cursed!” 823.425
Those who are evermore making light of hell are probably doing it in the hope of
making it easy for themselves. 1951.143
Remember, you can be laughed into hell, but you can never be laughed out of it. 3512.238
