The Importance of Witnessing
DAY #1
Dear John, I died today ... It's a lot different than I expected. You see, I always thought dying would
bring me into a world that is foggy and hazy. But this place is crystal clear ... it is even more real than life
on earth. I still have a body and can think, talk, and feel. Right now they have me in a line getting
registered I guess. John, I am kind of afraid. The attendants around me don't look too happy ... and just
on ahead at the front of the line I can see a little sign that says Hades on it. One thing is for sure ... this
sure ain't Heaven. John ... I'm afraid. Am I going to burn in hell? Your friend,Frank
DAY #2
John, HELP! It's worse than I ever anticipated. I am surrounded by darkness, yet I can still feel the
flames. I can smell my flesh as it burns. I am dead yet alive. I am in agonizing pain. I am thirsty ... my
whole body feels like it is about to explode. Oh John, why can't I die? Why won't God just let me die. But
there is hope ... they say there is a Judgment Day coming up where we will stand before God and He will
judge our case and lives personally. Friend, my beloved friend John, I hope you never come here! I hope
no one else will ever have to suffer like this. I am in pain. Your friend,Frank
YEAR #1,096 Dear John, Today was Judgment Day. The hope I previously had is now but a distant
memory. Now I know nothing but terror awaits me. The flames await to consume my flesh eternally.
When my name was called, I went to stand before the Great White Throne. He who sat up on it called or
the Book of Life ... as he scanned its pages, I looked at the multitude of angels and believers behind His
throne. Then I couldn't believe what I saw. As I focused my eyes I spotted you among the saints. There
you were awaiting eternal bliss while I awaited eternal damnation. You sang songs of joy while I
screamed shrieks of terror. Suddenly the voice of the enthroned God caught my attention, "Your name
has not been found in the book, therefore I sentence you to burn in Gehenna, the lake of fire forever ...
without hope .... without escape." I am terrified as I await my punishment. I have no hope. Your
friend,Frank
