Hey all...what verse )or even just the book) does it talk about those in heaven looking down on those in hell and rejoicing or some such? I never have any luck finding stuff using the SAB

Help!

Thanks Albion...unfortunately I only know the gist of the verse, not the exact wording

Well, you can plug keywords into the search. Then you get to wade through a few hundred verses but it's probably better than wading through the entire book.

I'll keep reading through at the site you gave me, thank you so. This has been discussed here numerous times so someone here knows it

Edited to add...found something! Psalms 58 seems the closest...but still not quite right...oh well

LadyShea

i think the verse you're looking for is in Isaiah.
Don't have time to look it up at the moment though.

Try a New Testament w/ a CONCORDANCE; seek (gospel) Parable about *Lazarus* (generic for "leper") and the rich man (probably named
"Dives" = generic for "rich man") Not sure if this will fill yer bill, Lady Shea...

Quote:

Luke 16:22-26

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;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

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.
1 Matt 3:9, Luke 3:8, John 8:33, John 8:39, John 8:53, Rom 9:7

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.

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.

Based on this verse, it would certainly seem that those in Heaven can see those in Hell. (and vice versa)

I have extensive notes on "Hell" (soon to be an essay, eta 2003) at home but I may not have the time right now to wade through all of them. Hope this helps though.
