1
00:00:01,990 --> 00:00:06,510
In Isaiah, 30, 33, we read of a

2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:09,310
terrible description of hell itself.

3
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:12,750
Truly, it is a picture of a hell

4
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:15,090
of hells with no comparison.

5
00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:19,010
For tough it is ordained of old, yea,

6
00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:22,210
for the king it is prepared.

7
00:00:22,770 --> 00:00:25,170
He hath made it deep and large.

8
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:29,730
The pile thereof is fire and much wood.

9
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:32,470
The breath of the Lord, like a stream

10
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:35,070
of brimstone, doth candle it.

11
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:39,450
Hell is a bottomless pit, deep and large,

12
00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:42,870
where hundreds of millions of the souls of

13
00:00:42,870 --> 00:00:46,110
the damned suffer, as they are chained to

14
00:00:46,110 --> 00:00:49,070
pilings of fire that are stoked by the

15
00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:51,790
breath of the Lord, where his wrath is

16
00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:53,570
poured out on sin.

17
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:57,950
Why did Christ come into the world but

18
00:00:57,950 --> 00:01:01,610
to redeem his people from their sins, to

19
00:01:01,610 --> 00:01:05,010
wash them in his own blood, to ransom

20
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:07,390
them out of the grip of the devil,

21
00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:10,390
and to deliver them out of the kingdom

22
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:13,550
of darkness, to keep them out of a

23
00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:16,430
hell of hells, that that baby in a

24
00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:20,330
manger was born, so that one day he

25
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:23,670
would become the sacrifice for sin?

26
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:27,870
Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem the

27
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:31,790
elect and reconcile them back to God by

28
00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:34,450
his death and with his blood.

29
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:38,330
Hell is prepared for the devil and his

30
00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:38,970
angels.

31
00:01:39,430 --> 00:01:42,070
We see this in 2 Peter.

32
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:46,650
For if God spared not the angels that

33
00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:50,070
sinned, but cast them down to hell and

34
00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:54,450
delivered them into chains of darkness to be

35
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:59,010
reserved unto judgment, hell is a region of

36
00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:03,790
great darkness and a great void, for it

37
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,730
is entirely void of God.

38
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:08,430
Once you are shut up in hell, you

39
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:10,570
are separated from God forever.

40
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:13,050
You are an object of the wrath of

41
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:16,990
God in hell, where his fury and indignation

42
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:20,850
for sin is continually poured out like gasoline

43
00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:23,830
on a fire, we read in Malachi.

44
00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:28,830
For behold, the day cometh that shall burn

45
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:31,970
as an oven, and all the proud, yea,

46
00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:35,850
and all that do wickedly shall be stubble.

47
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:40,050
And the day that cometh shall burn them

48
00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:43,430
up, saith the Lord of hosts, that shall

49
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:46,630
leave them neither root nor branch.

50
00:02:47,130 --> 00:02:51,550
As believers, we should be eternally grateful to

51
00:02:51,550 --> 00:02:55,750
God for his grace in saving us, and

52
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,490
we should be greatly concerned for the hell

53
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:02,010
-bound around us, who perish by the minute

54
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:05,530
and who are cast into that burning region

55
00:03:05,530 --> 00:03:09,490
of smoke and darkness their terrorists felt in

56
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:12,530
Isaiah 33, 14.

57
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:19,070
The sinners in Zion are afraid, fearfulness has

58
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:23,150
surprised the hypocrites, who among us shall dwell

59
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:27,010
with the devouring fire, who among us shall

60
00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:30,330
dwell with everlasting burnings.

61
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:35,290
We seldom think of eternity, and we spend

62
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:38,570
too much time on the perishing things of

63
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:39,910
this world.

64
00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:44,050
It is ironic that the very people many

65
00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:47,370
of us put on a pedestal in worshiping

66
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:51,590
life, Hollywood celebrities, that so many of them

67
00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:53,130
end up in hell.

68
00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:56,170
I challenge you, friends, to get on the

69
00:03:56,170 --> 00:04:00,330
internet and google celebrities that are atheists and

70
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:04,210
celebrities that are Hindu or Buddhist, and you'll

71
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:07,150
find a list of names like George Clooney,

72
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:11,810
Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, and others who will

73
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:14,610
come up on that list who don't believe

74
00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:17,050
in the God of the Bible, yet we

75
00:04:17,050 --> 00:04:18,870
give them our money and we give them

76
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:22,050
our time, we give them our affections.

77
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:25,770
These false role models many try to emulate

78
00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:29,370
in life will only suffer the torments of

79
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:30,790
a hell of hells.

80
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:35,610
Maybe we should turn off our TVs long

81
00:04:35,610 --> 00:04:38,710
enough to get on our knees and get

82
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:41,830
in our Bibles and pray for the sins

83
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:45,130
of our nation that has rejected the God

84
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:48,310
of the Bible and who spurns and hates

85
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:52,150
the very name of Jesus, who hates the

86
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:55,590
Jesus of the manger, who hung on a

87
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:59,330
bloody cross at Calvary so we can live.

88
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:03,410
Christ came into the world to be a

89
00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:05,130
sacrifice for sin.

90
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:09,770
Jesus declared, for this is my blood of

91
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:12,830
the New Testament which is shed for many

92
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:16,110
for the remission of sins.
