Hell On Earth

In my sleep I find myself 200 to 250 years in the future.
The Earth, at least I think it's the Earth is found to have
Undergone some terrible changes. The ground is no longer
Solid, it is this liquid fire, a molten lava per se. There are
Angels pinned down in this lava unable to free themselves
Undergoing a torturous torment being hurt like no other.
You can hear their loud screams from anywhere on Earth.
The temperature is burning like being on fire on top of
Being on fire. The Earth seems to be burning beyond any
Known fire, seemingly beyond any known living beings.
Then I saw it, small little glowing souls being tormented,
Being put to the highest amount of pain ever known to
Have been succumbed. The most severe pain and agony
That anyone could ever be brought to. Their screams are
So much more intense than the angels that this is almost
All you can hear. Terror and terrible pain and agony that
There seems to be no relief in sight. Then I saw him, the
Pure evil being himself. You can see his power and ultimate
Reign of this area. He is inflicting as much pain as he can
On the poor souls that are beneath him, giving them never
A break from their suffering. Then he saw me, his eyes
Met up with mine, terror filled my heart. I quickly began
My quick retreat back to my body. Luckily I made it with 
The smell of brimstone still on me. I recalled all that I saw 
And knew and felt the horrible place that it was. I vowed
From that moment on I would do whatever it took to never
End up there at that horrid place on Earth. I was fearful, 
Scared, and terrified and I will never forget the torture
That was going on there by fire and various other evil
Means. I hope I can get as many other people in my life
To never end up there as well, because I hated this 
Place, hated it with every fiber of my being. Maybe 
Somehow and some way we can stop the inevitable from
Happening. Till then I just have to work on me and to
Hopefully find peace inside myself to find a way not
to end up there, being tortured, and living a dying 
Death over and over again.

VEry eerie and descriptive imagining of hell fire. I like to think (or hope) that Jesus spoke in parable about it, and that it is not actual fire, but rather the burning of one's conscience that will be our own hell should we die in our sin. I think all of us will have to suffer that feeling of pain for all the things wrong we did(or at least not repented of) before we are redeemed!
