Read the following Bible verse several times:

Matthew 22:13
“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

In this parable, hell is pictured as a place where the suffering is so severe it results in people weeping and gnashing their teeth. Additionally people in hell cannot escape, as is picture by their being bound hand and foot.

Having read this verse several times, what is God saying to you?
