10 Times More

Proverbs 27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

#1 Hell and destruction are never full;

Isaiah 5:14    Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Hell is mention 54 times in the Bible 31 times in The Old Testament and 23 times in the New Testament.

That interested me, if "hell" is named 54 times how many times is "Heaven" mentioned?

583 times in the Bible, in the Old Testament 327 in the New Testament 256.

We are told more than 10 times about "Heaven than about "hell" yet we are not told that "Heaven" has enlarged herself. Maybe Jesus knew what He was talking about when He said;

Matthew 7:13    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The things of Heaven should be 10 times more interesting to us that the things of hell. But that is not the case, the evil things seem to draw us. We think more stuff, another wife or husband will satisfy but it’s not the things we can obtain for we are plainly told;

#2 the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Quit thinking something other than Jesus will satisfy for if we keep longing for that which we don't have we'll never see what we can have; "JESUS!" He will satisfy 10 times more than anything we could think up or have in this life.
