The Sounds of Hell?
Several years ago a news report surfaced that some well drillers in Russia punched a hole in Hell. They were supposedly drilling a very deep well and when they stopped drilling some of the workers heard wailing sounds coming out of the hole. The story goes they rigged up a tape recorder and dropped it into the well to record some of the sounds, and the recording they got was chilling.
This was before the days of the Internet and the sounds were played on some radio and television stations, and they caused quite a stir. Your author remembers in his hometown some believers were so disturbed by the report and recording that they placed large ads in the local paper pleading for people to accept Christ and avoid such a dreadful fate. Others dismissed the sounds as a staged stunt. Was it a stunt? Probably, but consider these Bible facts.
These facts indicate there is weeping and wailing from the pains of Hell going on under our feet at this moment. True, these poor souls are not in their natural bodies, but they are in some form of a body since the Rich Man in Luke 16:19-31 had eyes, a tongue, and could feel tormenting flames. Even though this recording is likely a fake, it represents fact, and it is quite chilling to listen to.
As you listen to this short mp3, dear reader, think about those who are still alive that are destined to that awful place unless they believe the gospel and receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Also, think about and reflect on what the precious blood of Christ has done for you in delivering you from this terrible, eternal fate. These are sobering thoughts, but essential for us to be effective in our service for our wonderful Savior.
