From The Biblical Doctrine of Heaven and Hell by Edward Donnelly (published by Banner of Truth Trust):
"Hell is revealed as a place of torment where millions of human beings will be enclosed forever. Statisticians tell us that approximately ninety-five million people die every year. That means that, every second, three human beings enter hell or heaven. Within the next hour, eleven thousand men, woman and children will have gone forever to a place of everlasting joy or a place of everlasting pain. Imagine them dying even now, as you read these words - one, then another, then another. As you draw your next breath, several more are leaving this earth. When a plane crashes and two or three hundred people are suddenly snatched into eternity, everyone talks about it. It is an appalling disaster, headline news. And yet eleven thousand of our fellow human beings, every hour of every day of the year, are reaching their eternal destination. Surely for this reason alone such a doctrine must be an important one."
