There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every
day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell
from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came
and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by the angels into
Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:19-23

1. Many rich people will go to hell.
Christ died to save you from perishing in hell. A place
is made intolerable by the type of people that are there. The
intolerable nature of hell is created by the presence of the most
evil men who ever lived as well as the presence of evil spirits,
the false prophet, the dragon and fallen angels. Jesus told us the
story of the rich man who went to hell.

The Sick Politician

I remember a rich politician of a certain country who went to
jail for various crimes. When he entered the prison he was so
frightened by the kind of people that were there that he feigned
sickness immediately and asked to be admitted to the hospital.
In that country, if you had enough money you could pay
to be in a hospital that was outside the prison. This rich man
continued to pay thousands of dollars so that he could stay out of
the frightening prison. In the end, his money ran out and he had
to go back to face the people in prison. Hopefully, this rich man
would serve his sentence and come out of prison alive.
That is the fate of many rich men who descend into hell with
no chance of parole. They are shocked to find that they have
descended into a horrible pit; wherein dwell the most evil men
that ever lived!
…THE RICH MAN ALSO DIED, AND WAS BURIED;
AND IN HELL HE LIFT UP HIS EYES, being in torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:22-23

2. Wicked people will go to hell.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations
that forget God.
Psalms 9:17

The Frightened Prisoner
One day after preaching, a man walked up to me and
introduced himself as an ex-convict. He described how he had
been in prison for fifteen years. As he talked with me, I realised
how nervous and edgy he was, casting furtive glances across his
shoulder every few seconds.
At a point, I asked him what was wrong. He apologised for
his unusually restless and jumpy attitude. He explained, “I am
always scared because I think somebody is going to attack me
from behind. I was twenty-one years old when I went to prison
and I am now thirty-six years old.”
He went on, “In jail there were so many murderers and rapists.
You are always in danger of being attacked from behind. That is
why I am so nervous.”
That is what makes prison frightening. I began to understand
what it meant to be in a prison. I understood even more what it
meant to go to hell and be caged in with frightening characters
like witches, wizards and murderers. Hell is a place to avoid at
all costs. There will be many wicked people in hell.

3. People who have forgotten God and those who do not
acknowledge God will go to hell.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, AND ALL THE
NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD.
Psalms 9:17

There are many people who have taken God out of their
lives and their careers. They have forgotten that there is a God
somewhere. Many people in Europe believe that there is no God.
They do not believe in God, they do not pray to God and they do
not go to church any more.
They may do good deeds and finance huge humanitarian
programs but they will be turned into hell because they forget
that there is a God. It is a fool who says in his heart that there is
no God.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none
that doeth good.
Psalms 14:1
And just as they DID NOT SEE FIT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
GOD ANY LONGER, God gave them over to a depraved
mind, to do those things which are not proper, being
filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil;
full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are
gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant,
boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,without
understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and,
although they know the ordinance of God, that THOSE
WHO PRACTICE SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF
DEATH, they not only do the same, but also give hearty
approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:28-32, (NASB)

4. The pompous, the mighty and proud, the chief ones of
the earth will go to hell.
The big shots of the earth will crowd themselves into the dark
spaces of hell. The Bible speaks of the chief ones of the earth.
The Bible describes how their ostentation and showiness will be
brought down. Unfortunately, this will be the portion of the
glamorous and flamboyant peoples of the earth.
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy
coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all THE
CHIEF ONES OF THE EARTH; it hath raised up from
their thrones all the kings of the nations.
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also
become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

THY POMP IS BROUGHT DOWN to the grave, and the
noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the
worms cover thee.
Isaiah 14:9-11

5. The beast and the false prophet will go to hell.
The beast, who is the anti-Christ and the most evil prophet
that ever lived, will also be among the community in hell. They
will have their place there forever and all those who go to hell
will have to contend with them.
And the BEAST was taken, and with him the FALSE
PROPHET that wrought miracles before him, with which
he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image. These both were
CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE burning with
brimstone.
Revelation 19:20

6. The devil will go to hell.
Another personality who will be among the community
of hell is the devil himself. All those who have been afraid of
demons and devils and ghosts will have to deal with the devil
himself. The devil himself will be one of the most prominent and
important members of the vast community of hell.
And THE DEVIL that deceived them WAS CAST INTO
THE LAKE OF FIRE and brimstone, where the beast and
the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
Revelation 20:10

7. Anyone whose name is not in the book of life will go to
hell.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15

Finally, all those whose names are not in the Book of Life
will go to hell. It is important that your name is in the Book of
Life. Jesus came to die on the cross so that your name could be
written in the Book of Life. Today is the day of salvation. You
must accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour so that your name can
be written in the Book of Life.
