I was troubled by what I was seeing.

It was like the Holy Spirit was nowhere in this place. The service
was so exciting it was mesmerizing and even intoxicating. Yet it

was all human effort. It was like God didn’t even exist.

I cried out: “God, where are you? Holy Spirit, I don’t sense your

presence. Jesus, it is as though you never even lived. It is so
spiritually cold and clammy in this place — while at the same

time I’m so hot I feel as if I’m going to pass out.”

Then I realized that what I was seeing

was a vision of hell.

Can you imagine having to worship and praise God most of the

day, every day, for ALL eternity? Can you imagine that, even

with all of your desperate longing, you would NEVER be able to

make contact with Him?

I don’t know about you, but I cannot possibly

begin to imagine a more terrible hell.

I do not know if this was a literal vision of hell or not.

Do any of us know when we have a sense of something, or seem

to be having a vision of something. None of us knows for sure –

and especially not about hell. None of us have seen the place.

Again, the Bible speaks of heat, and fire, and brimstone. But are

these literal, — or are they figurative? I don’t know. I don’t think

you know either.
