The Curtain Falls

 Unbeliever, what is your hope?

To live long? Yes, and what then?

To bring up a family? Yes, and what then?

To see them comfortably settled in life? Yes, and what then?

To be a grandfather to a numerous progeny? Yes, and what then?

To reach extreme old age in peaceful retirement? Yes, and what then?

The curtain falls! Let me lift it:

The cemetery.

The judgment throne of God.

Sentence on your soul.

The trumpet of resurrection.

Final doom.

Body and soul in Hell forever.

You have no better prospect.

[Charles H. Spurgeon]

Matthew 25:46 ... And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Hebrews 10:26-27 ... For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
