IF YOU WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE GENTLE WARNINGS OF GOD NOW, YOU WILL SURELY HEAR THE VIOLENT REBUKES OF DEMONS LATER!!!!!!!!!!! A DEVIL REBUKES AND LECTURES A DAMNED SOUL IN HELL!!!! Going farther on, I heard a wretch complaining in a heartbreaking strain against those men that had betrayed him and brought him here. “I was told,” said he, ‘by those that I depended on, and that I thought could inform me correctly, that if I said ‘Lord, have mercy on me,’ when I came to die, it would be enough to save me. But oh, now I find myself mistaken, to my eternal sorrow! Alas, I called for mercy on my deathbed, but found it was too late. Before that time, this cursed devil here told me that I was safe. Then on my deathbed, he told me it was too late. Hell must forever be my portion.” “You see, I did tell you the truth at last,” said the devil, “and then you would not believe me. A very fitting end, dont you think? You spend your days enjoying sin, and wallow in your filthiness, and you want to go to heaven when you die! Would anyone but a madman think that would be just? No; he that sincerely wants to go to heaven when he dies, must walk in the ways of holiness and virtue while he is alive. You say some of your lewd companions told you that saying, ‘Lord, have mercy on me’ when you came to die would be enough. A very fine excuse! If you had read the Bible you would have known that ‘Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord.” Therefore, if you were willing to live in your sins as long as you could, you did not finally leave them because you did not like them, but because you could follow them no longer. And this you know to be true. How could you be so stupid to think you could go to heaven with the love of sin in your heart? No, no, no. You were warned often enough that you should take heed of being deceived, for God is not mocked, but what you sow you reap. You have no reason to complain of anything but your own folly, which you now see too late.” “This lecture of the devil was a very cutting one to the poor tormented wretch,” I said to my conductor, “and shows the true situation of many now on earth as well as those in hell. But oh, what a far different judgment do they make in this sad place from what they did on earth.” “The reason for this,” replied my guardian angel, “is that they will not allow themselves to think what the effect of sin will be while on earth. Carelessness ruins many souls who do not think about what they are doing, nor where they are going, until it is too late to help it.” PLEASE REPENT FROM SIN AND FORSAKE WORLDLINESS NOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE ON EARTH BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!
