In the next pit was a woman on
her knees, as if looking for something. Her skeletal form also was full of
holes. Her bones were showing through, and her torn dress was on fire. Her head
was bald, and there were only holes where her eyes and nose were supposed to
be. A small fire was burning around her feet where she was kneeling, and she
clawed the sides of the brimstone pit. The fire clung to her hands, and dead
flesh kept falling off as she dug. Tremendous sobs shook her. "O Lord, O
Lord," she cried, "I want out." As we watched, she finally got
to the top of the pit with her feet. I thought she was going to get out when a
large demon with great wings that seemed to be broken at the top and hung down
his sides ran to her. His color was brownish black, and he had hair all over
his large form. His eyes were set far back into his head, and he was about the
size of a large grizzly bear. The demon rushed up to the woman and pushed her
very hard backward into the pit and fire. I watched in horror as she fell. I felt
so sorry for her. I wanted to take her into my arms and hold her, to ask God to
heal her and take her out of there.
Jesus knew my thoughts and said,
"My child, judgment has been set. God has spoken. Even when she was a
child, I called and called her to repent and to serve Me. When she was sixteen
years old, I came to her and said, 'I love you. Give your life to Me, and come
follow Me, for I have called you for a special purpose: I called all her life,
but she would not listen. She said, 'Someday I will serve You. I have no time
for You now. No time, no time, I have my life of fun. No time, no time to serve
You, Jesus. Tomorrow I will.' Tomorrow never came, for she waited too
long."
The woman cried out to Jesus,
"My soul is truly in torment. There is no way out. I know that I wanted
the world instead of You, Lord. I wanted riches, fame and fortune, and I got
it. I could buy anything I wanted; I was my own boss. I was the prettiest, best-dressed
woman of my time. And I had riches, fame and fortune, but I found I could not
take them with me in death. O Lord, hell is horrible. I have no rest day or
night. I am always in pain and torment. Help me, Lord," she cried. The
woman looked up at Jesus so longingly and said, "My sweet Lord, if only I
had listened to you! I will regret that forever. I planned to serve You
someday-when I got ready. I thought You would always be there for me. But how
wrong I was! I was one of the most sought-after women of my time for my beauty.
I knew God was calling me to repent. All my life He drew me with cords of love,
and I thought I could use God like I used everyone else. He would always be
there. Oh yes, I used God! He would try so hard to get me to serve Him, while all
the time I thought I didn't need Him. Oh, how wrong I was! For Satan began to
use me, and I began to serve Satan more and more. At the last I loved him more
than God. I loved to sin and would not turn to God.
"Satan used my beauty and my
money, and all my thoughts turned to how much power he would give me. Even
then, God continued to draw me. But I thought, I have tomorrow or the next day.
Then one day while riding in a car, my driver ran into a house, and I was
killed. Lord, please let me out." As she spoke her bony hands and arms
reached out to Jesus while the flames continued to burn her. Jesus said,
"The judgment is set." Tears fell down His cheeks as we moved to the
next pit.
“My dear young friend, if you are
living in sin, please repent. If you have been born again and have turned your
back on God, repent and turn back to Him now. Live well and stand for truth.
Wake up before it is too late, and you can spend forever with the Lord in
heaven who loves you as you are.”
