The Living Dead
Poem by Kassia Halteman

Out of the darkness echoes the ceaseless cries
Of  tormented souls, trapped in their eternal demise
Poor wretched beings who once walked with pride
Now screaming with terror, from the evil they can not hide
Though their bodies burn they can not die
No water to drink, No air to breath, no tears to cry
Unbearable is their sorrow and the stench of lasting death
They have no hope, no purpose, no breath
Aimless and lost under this earth they now tread
These are the souls of the lifeless, and the living dead

Where Nightmares Come true!

    Imagine you are in a place so terrible and horrifying that even the air makes you shake with a terror that is indescribable! It is by far way worse than your worst nightmare!!! You are so uncontrollably overcome by fear that you want to die! But you can not die because you are already dead! Your body died on earth but your soul can not die. You still have a body that resembles your old one but it is so weak and you are naked! You feel completely humiliated! This place is so terrible that it drives you to the point of insanity! But you can not even go insane! You are utterly horrified!!!
    Imagine darkness that you can actually feel! A darkness that is think and evil. It is so thick that light does not travel through it! The smell of this place is absolutely disgusting, putrid, foul, and so rotten that it makes you feel like puking! But there is no liquid in your body. The smell burns your eyes and lungs. It is worse than all the strongest most disgusting smells in the world all combined together. In fact, the smell is so toxic and sulfuric that the smell alone should kill you! But you don't die!
    The heat is far beyond unbearable! It is so hot that it can disintegrate rock! (3,000 degrees F) The air is completely dry and smoky. There is no oxygen in the air! You are continually gasping for air but never again will you feel the pleasure of oxygen filling your lungs! It makes you want to die! If only death were possible! Never again will you hear the beautiful song of a bird, or feel a cool breeze, or a ray of sunshine. It is raining fire and red-hot rocks as if a volcano just went off. Your tongue is set on fire and you must cool it but there is no water anywhere! Water is completely nonexistent in this place! The smallest drop of water has suddenly become so precious to you. But you will never again taste water! Water is the supplement of life. In this place everything is dead yet somehow alive!
    There are all different kinds of demonic beings everywhere! They hate you with such a terribly evil hatred. You are not sure why they hate you. You do not know it but the reason they hate you is because you were created in the image of God and they hate God. They begin to beat you and rip you apart with their sharp claws and fangs. Your body is ripped to shreds and your limbs are torn off! You are in so much agony but you do not bleed! There is no blood or water in your body because blood is the life of the body. These demons get evil entertainment by torturing you but they are not satisfied with it so they keep on destroying you. You experience indescribable agony but somehow you never die! Your body is continually brutally beaten and shredded but it just grows back together again just to be tortured and destroyed all over, and over, and over again! The place is echoing with the terrifying sound of the agonized screams of millions of lost and tormented souls just like you!
    The place looks like an enormous cavern with many caves and tunnels but no escape. There are many chambers and holding cells. There is a lake of fire running through the center and many pits of fire dug into the ground. You can see mutilated bodies thrashing about in the flames and bony hands reaching out. Many are desperately trying to climb out of the pits but there effort is useless and their strength is weak. Some souls here have it worse than others but it is all bad! There are different levels of torment or punishment of varying degrees.
    The only thing you can think of is, there must be a way out of this place! But there is no way out and you know it. You have died and there is no going back! This torment is eternal! Imagine being tortured forever!!! You feel utterly hopeless and somehow you know it will only get worse! There is no love in this place, no hope, no help, no comfort, no safe place, and no relief! You get no physical or mental escape of any kind! There is no human interaction or even the shortest conversation. There is nothing that is good at all! This place is devoid of God. It is an eternal death and life without God. You feel truly alone among millions of tormented souls.
    The agony never ceases for a second and it lasts for eternity!!! It is a reality of an endless eternity of terror, pain, loss, and loneliness. There is no existence of purpose, no work, no rest, no sleep, no goals, nothing to live for, and no way of dying! It will go on for all eternity! You desperately wish for your life back! You wish you could go back and warn your friends and family to do all they can to avoid this place! But those longings only bring you complete frustration because you can't go back! This is Hell!!!
    Now stop imagining and let this be a warning. I did not make this up! Hell is not just a nightmare place and it was not imagined by humans as a way to scare people into being good. Hell is a very real physical place described by the Bible. The Bible says that Everyone who sins is going to Hell because they have broken God's law! This should scare you! Every human sins! Every day hundreds of people die and no one knows when they will die!

   Believe me, I do not want to believe those things I wrote about Hell!!! I wish more than anything that the Bible could be wrong about Hell!!! I wish SO MUCH that everybody could just go to Heaven!!! But I can't fight against the facts! I have done a lot of research on this and there is so much more I could say and would love to explain. Every time I think about Hell I feel so much pain in my heart and I think, "we must be missing something! Hell can't be real! I don't want it to be real!" But the Bible warns us about Hell and it describes it as a real physical place. I believe the Bible because it proves itself to be true. Science also proves the truth of the Bible. It is a fact that all the prophecies in the Bible have come true and some are still waiting to happen. It is also a fact that the Bible has never been proven wrong in any way! If you doubt that, please ask me your questions! I have plenty of info on the topic! Everything the Bible says is the terrible truth because it is the inspired word of God. If anyone could prove to me even one false thing in the Bible I will stop believing in Hell. I really wish someone could give me a good reason to believe that Hell is not real! If you have any questions, comments, or even disagreements please talk to me about it!

    The good news is that you don't have to go Hell!!! God made a way for us to avoid it!!! Keep reading to find out how and why!

Who Goes to Hell and Why?


    The Bible Says that when God created us He created us in His image. I'm not sure if that also means physically but it is obvious in how we act. We all have a free will and we make our own decisions, other wise we would all just be puppets without a real purpose and no significance. We also love and have relationships. We invent and make things. It is also a fact that humans have souls that are eternal. These are all characteristics of God. Many people think that they are their own God and they want to live by their own rules and without consequences. We do bad things all the time, and then we wonder why the world is the way it is. And people blame God for all the bad things that happen. But if God didn't allow us to do bad things and make our own choices then he would be controlling us like puppets.

    The Bible says that when God first created the world He created everything perfect. Humans had a relationship with God. But we were given a choice to do good or evil and we chose to sin. Sin brought pain and death into the world. Sadly, every human sins. God is so holy and perfect and just that He must punish sin even though it saddens Him beyond words to do it! He wouldn't be perfect and just if He didn't punish sin, and if He wasn't perfect than He wouldn't be God. A good judge has to bring justice and punish the criminals.
   
    Many people believe in God and they assume that everybody who is good will go to Heaven. But according to the Bible believing in God and trying to be a good person doesn't get anyone into Heaven! James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble." Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" The Bible clearly says that all people have sinned and that no one is good enough to go to Heaven. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Every single sin is punishable by eternal death in Hell. That is extremely sad!

    Most people consider themselves to be good enough to go to Heaven because they compare themselves to other people instead of God. They use the wrong standard. God gave every human a conscience to know what is right from wrong. Compare yourself to God's standard. Here are just some of God's laws: 1. love God more than anything and love others as you love yourself 2. do not blaspheme God's name 3. keep your thoughts pure 4. honor your father and you mother. 5. do not murder. (In God's eyes hatred is comparable to murder). 6. do not commit adultery. (lust is adultery of the heart). 7. do not steal. (size and cost is irrelevant) 8. do not lie. (this includes white lies) 9. do not covet. (to covet is to desire what others have).

    If you are honest you will admit to breaking these laws. I have broken them all. To break just one of them is punishable by eternal death! James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." Revelations 21:8 "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 burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." We can not live up to God's holy standard which is perfection. I would be going to Hell if it wasn't for what God did! Which is what I am getting at.

The Good News!

    So like I said, God must punish sin! The only thing that can take away your punishment is for a perfect human to take your place! And the only possible thing that can take away the punishment for the sin of the whole world is for a perfect human being who is worth more than all the souls in the world together to be killed as a sacrifice to take the place of every sinner. The only one who is perfect and worth more than every soul is God himself. So God came to earth in the form of a man named Jesus (the son of God) to live a perfect life as a human and then He died a torturous death on the cross and went to Hell to pay the price for every human soul!!! Jesus did not stay in Hell though! Because He is God, He broke the power of Hell and death and He rose from the dead after three days and then He returned to Heaven! God did this so that we could be saved from Hell!!! It is a free gift!!! You can not do anything to deserve it!!! But like all gifts it must be received! You have to believe it! And desire to live for God!

    All sinners (which includes everyone) will go to Hell except for those who have accepted Jesus as their savior. Through Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 10:9 "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved." Please accept Jesus as your savior and be saved!!!

    You may wonder, If God is so loving why would he send anyone to Hell? But the Bible says that it is our own sin that sends us to Hell. God does love even murderers. He loves us without limit and way more than we can understand, which is why He died and went to Hell in our place so that we could be saved! God was born as a man named Jesus to die for our sins. Jesus is known as God's Son. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who ever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." If only you could see how sad God is over every person who finds their destination in Hell!

Did God Create Evil?

Isaiah 45:7 - I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

    God created everything including good and evil. He created everything with an opposite. If it weren't for the evil in the world how would we come to appreciate everything good? If there were no battle there would be no victory. If there was no bondage who would know freedom? If there was no hatred how would we appreciate love?
    You might be wondering, why didn't God just create everything good? But He did! In the beginning of creation God made the earth perfect and it was perfect until man chose to sin. It was our human choice to sin that made this world evil. If God hadn't created the choice of evil then we would all just be living a good life with God but not of our own choosing. We would be like puppets and we wouldn't fully appreciate His love and power or understand the concept of why doing the right thing is so important! There is nothing special about a puppet that is controlled and it is not true love to be forced into loving someone.
     God also created the angels with a free will to choose good or evil. God's most beautiful angel Lucifer was the first known creation that sinned. Lucifer was jealous of God and he wanted to be like God. He lead other angels to join him in a battle against God. Lucifer and his followers were cast out of God's presence down to earth where that battle of good verse evil continues. Ever since Lucifer was cast out of heaven he and his demons have been spreading lies about God and deceiving human beings into disbelieving God. In the end God will be the victor as He has always been! Lucifer and all his evil followers will be cast into Hell, the earth will be destroyed, and Heaven shall descend upon the new earth!
    God did not create Hell for man. It was made as a place of punishment for the devil and his angels that turned against God. Gods desire is that none should go to Hell. God loves his creation and it saddens him deeply when we turn our backs on Him. He wants everyone to be warned about Hell so that they can do what they must to avoid going there. Everyday many people die and go to Hell. This saddens God greatly. He loves his human creation more than we can possibly understand. The demons hate God. They also hate humans because we are made in Gods image. They can not directly harm God but they can sadden Him by harming his creation and deceiving them into disbelieving and doubting God.
    It is not my job to convince you that Hell is real but as a Christian it is my job to tell you about it. I really hope you make the right choice! Please! Please take this seriously! You could die today or tomorrow and then it will be too late! The body will die but the soul will not! You were created in the image of God as an eternal being. You will spend eternity in either Heaven or Hell. Where will it be?

    Thank you so much if you took the time to carefully read this whole thing! I would not waste my time writing this if I did not believe that this is real. The Bible warns us about Hell. This information is backed up by the Bible. If you need further proof I would definitely recommend that everyone should read the Bible and Bill Wiese's book, 23 Minutes In Hell. Also I would recommend watching the DVD To Hell And Back which is a number of interviews with people who have died and seen Hell and were then brought back to life through prayer and medical technology. These are true stories! If you would like a free DVD of 23 Minutes In Hell or a DVD of To Hell And Back please contact me and I will mail you free DVDs. My e-mail address is dreamwild128@gmail.com.
