Proverbs 27:20 KJV
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
May we never forget the lesson of the first half of this verse. Men never cease to die; and never will until the day God calls all things to an end. And hell never runs out of room for more souls who are lost and without Jesus Christ. Nearly every age and culture has recognized this. John Gill reminds us of the terms that have been used for the grave
The place where Gog is said to be buried is called Hamongog, the multitude of God.
The Greek name for burying place is Polyandrion because many men are buried there. and
The Latin term for a burial place is Plures for "the many or the more."
In some countries, where land is limited, I have heard that a person only "rents" a burial plot. After a certain number of years the bones of that person are replaced with a new body.
If life is only what little time we have on this earth, we are more pitiful than the animals because we are self aware. We know almost as soon as we are alive that we will die. And for this reason thoughts of eternity are that much more precious.
May we live each day with eternity in mind. and
May we serve the Lord so that others enjoy the hope of eternity as well!
