Peepholes Into Hell

The Tyger

BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp,

Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears

And water'd heaven with their tears:

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

   

    Shakespeare rightly said, "All the world is a stage." C.S. Lewis said, rightly so, "You are a soul with a body."

    It's far, far better to lose friends, family, popularity; everything the world has to offer, etc.. and it's so enticing...than to lose Jesus. Your life-story is not your own; rather, it is "punctuated" by so many people you have known.

    In the "Hall's of Justice," the only justice is in the hall's. In the Naves of Cathedrals, the only salvation is in the nails that hold the walls together. No matter how fine the parents, Sunday schools, most people are attracted to degenerates; although the gift of salvation has been afforded at so great a sacrifice and cost. Even Jesus told us that most people, even our friends/families, would find the broad road to Hell.

    Have you ever considered taking a "peep" into hell? It is real. Every human being is one day closer to either Heaven, or Hell. Scripture teaches more about Hell than Heaven. Multiplied billions of pew-warmers can read God's word about Hell, without it changing them one iota. These readers are just better-educated pagans. The difference between a true Christian and a non-Christian is that direct communication that the believer in God has with him through prayer. Just think, the one who made the world and everything in it, and you have a direct communication with him through prayer...most of all, a free GIFT!

Looking into the peephole, why should not anyone want to escape it? This writer has been blind most of his life. I'm so tired of running into things, having someone lead me around...just imagining everything in my world. So many young people told me that they would not mind going to Hell, simply because all their friends would be there. Little do they realize, they will see NOTHING in Hell...although, they may hear the screams of their friends/family. But, Hell it is a low-some blackness, as well as the flames which never go out. We are taught that it is like falling into a pit...you just fall forever, trying to catch onto something, the sides of something, useless (attempts at) salvation.

You so enjoyed profanity, and pornography while on Earth. You did not want to be around "clean-minded" people. You chose the low road instead of the high road in life. You chose ugliness instead of beauty. You chose evil instead of good. You chose popularity instead of decency. You chose low-minded friends instead of Christian friends...populations of the weak, instead of populations seeking strength. You made your choice, and now you have to live with that choice; not just for a few days, weeks, or years, but for forever. It is too late to change your mind. People who could not stand Christians/decency/cleanliness while alive, will now spend eternity in the "second-death;" a death of torment.

You thought you were so smart...that believing in God, the sacrifice of his precious son, Jesus, was just a fairy-tale; even though every historical/scientific/physical fact of life has told you otherwise. You preferred death to life, and now you have eternal death.

The last word's of Shakespeare's Macbeth, spoken by the doctor, "God help us all!"
