Blackbeard

“In hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”
(Luke 16:23).

Edward Teach was known as Blackbeard. He was the most well-known pirate in Bahamian history and caused terror in and around those islands for several years. He cared for no one but himself, and with cutlasses and pistols slung about him, which he did not hesitate to use, he resembled a walking arsenal. His long black beard was twisted with ribbons and turned about his ears. He was no legend, but a real man who died in a violent naval battle in 1718.

One day he said to some of his men, “Let us make a hell of our own and see how long we can bear it.” They went below, closed the hatches, and set on fire several pots of brimstone. One by one, close to suffocation, they escaped to the upper deck. Blackbeard held out the longest and was pleased that he was better able to live in hell than the others.

We can hardly imagine such a thing, yet there are many who are rushing on to the “lake of fire” with no thought of its reality. Hell is nothing to joke about! It is a real place, and those who reject the Savior of sinners will end up there. Not just for a time, but for eternity. Where will you be then?
