There are many descriptions of hell in the Bible, but one aspect that is overlooked and one that has to be the most disconcerting is the description of absolute darkness. "... Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 22:13 and II Peter, 3-5))." It's a place of darkness so black one could never see anything else, but knowing one could still see and, even worse, knowing it will never end and even worse, knowing that one is there solely of one's own choice... In fact the burning often described as being a part of hell must be the crushing, white hot, eternal knowledge that there is no end to the longing for the God so readily denied in this life. Yeshua spoke more often about hell than He did about heaven...
