hell comes from a holiness

Ezekiel 10:6-8 (JDV)

Ezekiel 10:6 After Yahveh commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubs,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:7 Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
Ezekiel 10:8 The cherubs appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.

hell comes from a holiness

The fact that this fire Ezekiel saw came from among the cherubs signified that the judgment was from God, not the result of human conflict. Jerusalem’s destruction would be a divine act.

Gehenna Hell is the ultimate divine act of destruction. The lost will go there and suffer the punishment of permanent destruction because God cannot endure their rebellion forever. That is not what many have been taught about hell. But that is what Jesus taught. Hell comes from a holiness that cannot endure perpetual sin.

LORD, purify us by your grace today so that we never have to suffer the destruction we deserve.
