" It is printed in Dublin--for children.
"Little child, if you go to hell, there will be a devil at your
side to strike you. He will go on striking you every day,
forever and ever, without ever stopping. The first stroke will
make your body as bad as Job's, covered from head to foot with
sores and ulcers. The second stroke will make your body twice
as bad as the body of Job.... How then will your body be after
the devil has been striking it every moment for a hundred
million years without stopping?"--_Quoted in the London Present
Truth, April 30, 1914._
What a relief to turn from this to the Bible doctrine of the
"everlasting destruction" of the second death, terrible though it be!
_3. "Everlasting Fire," "Eternal Fire," "Unquenchable Fire."_--All these
expressions are used in describing the fiery judgment upon sin and
sinners. The effect of the fire is everlasting and eternal, and by a
common usage in language the adjective that describes the effect is
applied to the agent by which the effect is wrought.
A specific example of everlasting fire in the punishment of evil is
given in Scripture.
