To all the people I’ve known, listen, there’s only two places to go, once the death angel comes; is Heaven to be with Jesus for ever more or Hell to be eternally with the Devil and his workers, it will be very sad, unforsaken place, of fire and brimstone, to continually consume those forever, no escape, no pardons.
