The
Temperature
of
Heaven
and
Hell
The
temperature
of
Heaven
can
be
rather
accurately
computed.
Our
authority
is
Isaiah
30:26,
"Moreover,
the
light
of
the
Moon
shall
be
as
the
light
of
the
Sun
and
the
light
of
the
Sun
shall
be
sevenfold,
as
the
light
of
seven
days."
Thus
Heaven
receives
from
the
Moon
as
much
radiation
as
we
do
from
the
Sun,
and
in
addition
7*7
(49)
times
as
much
as
the
Earth
does
from
the
Sun,
or
50
times
in
all.
The
light
we
receive
from
the
Moon
is
one
1/10,000
of
the
light
we
receive
from
the
Sun,
so
we
can
ignore
that
...
The
radiation
falling
on
Heaven
will
heat
it
to
the
point
where
the
heat
lost
by
radiation
is
just
equal
to
the
heat
received
by
radiation,
i.e.,
Heaven
loses
50
times
as
much
heat
as
the
Earth
by
radiation.
Using
the
Stefan-Boltzmann
law
for
radiation,
(H/E)^4
=
50,
where
E
is
the
absolute
temperature
of
the
earth
(~300K),
gives
H
as
798K
(525C).
The
exact
temperature
of
Hell
cannot
be
computed
...
[However]
Revelations
21:8
says
"But
the
fearful,
and
unbelieving
...
shall
have
their
part
in
the
lake
which
burneth
with
fire
and
brimstone."
A
lake
of
molten
brimstone
means
that
its
temperature
must
be
at
or
below
the
boiling
point,
444.6C.
We
have,
then,
that
Heaven,
at
525C
is
hotter
than
Hell
at
445C.
