What bliss will fill the ransomed souls,
When they in glory dwell,
To see the sinner as he rolls,
In quenchless flames of hell.
(Isaac Watts)

Many guests coming to our HOLY board are shocked when they discover how we look forward to seeing the sinners burn in the Lake of Fire. Many of them seem to believe they will go to Heaven (yeah, right!) and will be able to ignore the tormented sinners screaming in Hell.
Let's see how Our Saviour described Hell when He spoke of the beggar Lazarus and the rich man:
Luke 16:22: And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Luke 16:23: And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:24: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luke 16:25: But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luke 16:26: And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
As you see, Abraham is not so "afar off" that they cannot have a quiet conversation while the sinner is "tormented in this flame".
Let's have a few more quotes:
[...] as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: [...] (Psalm 68:2-3)
Revelation 14:10: The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 19:3: And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
So there is very little doubt that not only is Hell visible from Heaven - but one of the most popular pastimes will be to watch the Pagans, Catholics and Wiccans as they roast.
Many FALSE Christians, who visit our board, are surprised that we can openly express glee at the thought of watching people being tortured for all eternity. This however is certainly not a doctrine limited to Landover.
Augustine wrote, "They who shall enter into [the] joy [of the Lord] shall know what is going on outside in the outer darkness. . .The saints'. . . knowledge, which shall be great, shall keep them acquainted. . .with the eternal sufferings of the lost.”
Thomas Aquinas wrote, "In order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful to them and that they may render more copious thanks to God for it, they are allowed to see perfectly the sufferings of the damned. . .So that they may be urged the more to praise God. . .The saints in heaven know distinctly all that happens. . .to the damned."
The Protestant Martin Luther was questioned whether the Blessed will not be saddened by seeing their nearest and dearest tortured - and he answered, “Not in the least.”
And St. Anthony Mary Claret wrote, "Once [a soul] is condemned by God, then God's friends agree in God's judgment and condemnation. For all eternity they will not have a kind thought for this wretch. Rather they will be satisfied to see him in the flames as a victim of God's justice. ("The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge . . ." Psalm 57:11) They will abhor him. A mother will look from paradise upon her own condemned son without being moved, as though she had never known him.”
So we're doing the True Christian™ thing - and don't let any ignorant unsaved trash tell you otherwise.
