The Population Of Hell
By Rick Popejoy
Numerous are those
who have pondered the question throughout history, “How far from
Paradise to Hell?” Ancient volumes such as Dante’s Inferno
and Milton’s Paradise
Lost demonstrate how
attractive this topic has been over the years. Due to today’s
technology we know that it is exactly 342.41 miles according to
MapQuest and I-75 is the road to hell. Hell claims a population of
266 souls and a zip code of 48169. I speak of Hell, Michigan, of
course, and not the place populated by the Devil and his angels
(Matt.25:41).
The Bible tells us
exactly who will be in hell. Here is an exhaustive list: “But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which
is the second death” (Rev. 21:8). “For without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie” (Rev. 22:15). “Now the works
of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying’s, murder,
drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (Gal. 5:19-21). “Know ye
not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be
not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10). “Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done
many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matt. 7:21-23).
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness…Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication,wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the
judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of
death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”
(Rom. 1:18, 29-32). “Then shall He say unto them on the left hand,
depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels…and these shall go away into everlasting
punishment…” (Matt. 25:41, 46).
