/ The temperature of Heaven can be rather \
| accurately computed from available |
| data. 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 seven times seven (49) times |
| as much as the Earth does from the Sun, |
| or fifty times in all. The light we |
| receive from the Moon is one |
| ten-thousandth of the light we receive |
| from the Sun, so we can ignore that. |
| With these data we can compute the |
| temperature of Heaven. 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 fifty |
| 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, but it must be less than |
| 444.6C, the temperature at which |
| brimstone or sulphur changes from a |
| liquid to a gas. 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, or 444.6C (Above this |
| point it would be a vapor, not a lake.) |
| We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is |
| hotter than Hell at 445C. |
