DAY #1
Dear John,
I died today ... It's a lot different than I expected.You see, I always
thought dying would bring me into a world that is foggy and hazy. But
this place is crystal clear ... it is even more real than life on earth.
I still have a body and can think, talk, and feel. Right now they have
me in a line getting registered I guess. John, I am kind of afraid.
The attendants around me don't look too happy ... and just on ahead
at the front of the line I can see a little sign that says Hades on
it. One thing is for sure ... this sure ain't Heaven. John ... I'm afraid.
Am I going to burn in hell?
Your friend,
Frank
DAY #2
John,
HELP! It's worse than I ever anticipated. I am surrounded by darkness,
yet I can still feel the flames. I can smell my flesh as it burns. I
am dead yet alive. I am in agonizing pain. I am thirsty ... my whole
body feels like it is about to explode. Oh John, why can't I die? Why
won't God just let me die. But there is hope ... they say there is a
Judgement Day coming up where we will stand before God and He will judge
our case and lives personally. Friend, my beloved friend John, I hope
you never come here! I hope no one else will ever have to suffer like
this. I am in pain.
Your friend,
Frank
YEAR #1,096
Dear John,
Today was Judgement Day. The hope I previously had is now but a distant
memory. Now I know nothing but terror awaits me. The flames await to
consume my flesh eternally. When my name was called, I went to stand
before the Great White Throne. He who sat up on it called for the Book
of Life ... as he scanned its pages, I looked at the multitude of angels
and believers behind His throne. Then I couldn't believe what I saw.
As I focused my eyes I spotted you among the saints. There you were,
awaiting eternal bliss while I awaited eternal damnation. You sang songs
of joy while I screamed shrieks of terror. Suddenly the voice of the
enthroned God caught my attention, "Your name has not been found in
the book, therefore I sentence you to burn in Gehenna, the lake of fire
forever... without hope ... without escape." I am terrified as I await
my punishment. I have no hope.
Your friend,
Frank
The Day After Judgement Day
John,
I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. The angels who have been designated
to cast me into the lake of fire are coming down the hallway. I can
hear their footsteps. I have heard about this Gehenna. They say it is
worse than Hades. How can it be? I cannot bear it. The angels are at
the door. Oh no ... NO! They are opening it and they are looking at
me, John, they are grabbing me and carrying me out of the room! I can
already smell the burning sulfer and brimstone. I can see the edge of
the cliff where Hell burns! John this is it! I am without hope! We are
coming closer, closer! My heart is bursting with fear. They are holding
me out over the edge of Hell ... I am dangling over its flames! I am
damned forever! They have thrown me in! FIRE!! PAIN!! HELL!! WHY JOHN?!!
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT JESUS?
Your friend,
Frank
P.S. Wish you were here.
