18. Eternity. Man can not under-
stand or comprehend hell and all
the Bible says about it.

How severe and long it will be. So
the mind shuts it out. And. of course,
the devil does not want us to grasp it.
Because once we do, then we will do
something about it.

We will start looking for a SAVIOR....
Eternity is the altimate in suffering and
punishment for those.....
......WHO WILL GO THERE!

8. Stripes. Luke 12:47 The Parable

of the Unfaithful Servant. " And that
servant, which knew his lord's will,
and prepared not himself, neither did
according to his will, shall be beaten
with many stripes."

punishments. This as a reference to
hell is a certainty.

It doesn't lessen the reality of the
punishment nor the suffering caused.

There will not be much comfort taken
for those who have committed less sin
for a few stripes, versus the ones with
many sins gettin many stripes.
