Have you ever considered what it would be like if suddenly
you became blind and everything went dark? No longer would God's creation fill
your mind with beauty and splendor. It would be a terrible curse never to see
your loved ones or fully experience the happy moments of your life.
My subject today is the darkness of hell. Those who reject God and His sacrificial Son will forever dwell in darkness.

Deuteronomy 28:29
And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in
darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only
oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
Jude 1:13
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
There is darkness when people refuse the light and walk in
spiritual blindness, but this is not what I am preaching about. I'm preaching about
the darkness of Hell that will continue forever and ever in an infinite amount
of time in Hell.
It will be lonesome and loathsome in Gehenna fire. No friends to talk to or to see. The apparatus for seeing had been put out.
Proverbs 13:9
It will be lonesome and loathsome in Gehenna fire. No friends to talk to or to see. The apparatus for seeing had been put out.
Proverbs 13:9
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the
wicked shall be put out.
Proverbs 20:20
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be
put out in obscure darkness.
John 9:39
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
After the final sentencing of the lost and the damned are
cast into the lake of fire, darkness will ensue. No longer will light fill
their eyes with beauty but darkness will fill them with gloom.
This promise will be fulfilled in more ways than one:
Romans 11:10
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
down their back alway.
The people of Gehenna had already been spiritually darkened
but in Hell they will also be physically darkened. Their decaying and abscessed
body will forever be blinded.
It is said that fear of darkness is not the fear of darkness
itself but fear of possible or imagined dangers concealed by darkness. The term
they use is Nyctophobia. Nyctophobia is a phobia characterized by a severe fear
of the dark. Everyone in Hell will be living out this fear in the utmost
degree. There will be fear of that which goes bump in the night when one experiences
Gehenna fire or Hell.
I live in the country. One evening while approaching my
studio I was surprised to see a black snake hanging near my front door wrapped
on an electrical pipe. I departed immediately from the danger that was close to
my face. How dreadful I feel for those in Hell who will never see the dangers
that God had planned for them in Hell. Salvation is such a simple matter yet
many would rather suffer in Hell than do homage to the Son of God by accepting
His free gift.
Experts state that the lack of light can cause mood changes.
They call it SAD. How sad it is to have SAD. It can make you depressed by
giving you mood swings, anxiety, sleep problems, or even suicidal thoughts. The
symptoms of SAD are what you will find in Hell.
The pit of Hell is cast into the lake of fire prior to judgment
day. Those not written in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire. It
is in the lake of fire where darkness will really take its toll. You would
think in a large lake you might run into some friends or family members. You
certainly will not find them having no sight and if perhaps you did come close
to another person it will be impossible to make contact. You own feasting WORM
of hell will keep you close to its side and will not share you with anyone. Their WORM will keep them in Hell isolated and alone
throughout eternity and it will all happen in darkness.
