About this sermon
The Horrific Reality of Maggots in Hell Are there literal maggots in hell, or was Jesus using allegorical language? Bill Wiese examines Mark 9:44–48, where Jesus described hell as a place “where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” Discover the meaning of the Greek word scollex, the history of Gehenna, and the Old Testament warnings found in Isaiah 14:11, Job 24:19–20, and Isaiah 66:24. These passages describe worms feeding on the dead, unquenchable fire, eternal punishment, and the horrific reality of God’s judgment. Did Jesus, Job, and Isaiah intend these descriptions to be taken literally? This biblical teaching explains why we should not soften Christ’s warnings about hell.
