TEN FAMOUS ATHEISTS' LAST WORDS BEFORE DEATH:
1. ANTON LEVEY— Author of the Satanic Bible and high priest of the religion dedicated to the worship of Satan. One of his famous quotes was: “There is a beast in man that needs to be exercised, not exorcised." His dying words were: "Oh my, oh my, what have I done, there is something very wrong. . . there is something very wrong.”
2. SIR THOMAS SCOTT— Chancellor of England: "Until this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a Hell. Now I know and feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the Almighty."
3. CAESAR BORGIA— Italian nobleman, politician, and cardinal: "While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die, and am unprepared to die."
4. THOMAS HOBBS— Political philosopher: "I say again, if I had the whole world at my disposal, I would give it to live one day. I am about to take a leap into the dark."
5. THOMAS PAINE— The leading atheistic writer in American colonies: "Stay with me, for God's sake; I cannot bear to be left alone, O Lord, help me! O God, what have I done to suffer so much? What will become of me hereafter? I would give worlds if I had them, that The Age of Reason had never been published. O Lord, help me! Christ, help me! No, don't leave; stay with me! Send even a child to stay with me; for I am on the edge of hell here alone. If ever the Devil had an agent, I have been that one."
6. VOLTAIRE— Famous anti-Christian atheist: "I have swallowed nothing but smoke. I have intoxicated myself with the incense that turned my head. I am abandoned by God and man.” He said to his physician, Dr. Fochin: “I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months of life." When he was told this was not possible, he said “Then I shall die and go to Hell!" His nurse said: “For all the money in Europe I wouldn’t want to see another unbeliever die! All night long he cried for forgiveness.”
7. DAVID HUME— Atheist philosopher famous for his philosophy of empiricism and skepticism of religion: He cried loud on his death bed "I am in flames!" It is said his desperation was a horrible scene.
8. CHARLES IX— The French King. Urged on by his mother, he gave the order for the massacre of the French Huguenots, in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ. The guilty king suffered miserably for years after that event. He finally died, bathed in blood bursting from his veins. To his physicians, he said in his last hours: "Asleep or awake, I see the mangled forms of the Huguenots passing before me. They drip with blood. They point at their open wounds. Oh! That I had spared at least the little infants at the bosom! What blood! I know not where I am. How will all this end? What shall I do? I am lost forever! I know it. Oh, I have done wrong."
9. JOSEF STALIN— Soviet Georgian revolutionary and politician. In a Newsweek interview with Svetlana Stalin, Stalin's daughter, she told of her father's death: "My father died a diffic,lt and terrible de,ath. God grants an easy death only to the just. At what seemed the very last moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and cast a glance over everyone in the room. It was a terrible glance, insane or perhaps angry. His left hand was raised, as though he were pointing to something above and bringing down a curse on us all. The gesture was full of menace, the next moment he was dead."
10. GANDHI— At his death, he said, “For the first time in 50 years, I find myself in the slough of despond. All about me is darkness. I am praying for light.”
BELOVED, compare these last words from atheists, with these last words, from these saints of God:
THE APOSTLE PAUL: “O death, where is thy sting?”
KING DAVID: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.”
Lastly, JESUS CHRIST said:
-“Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”
-“I Am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
Only fools never learn from history. It is amazing that even in our days, with all these facts at our fingertips, someone with a mind can devote his entire life to a delusion, and want everyone to believe that there is no God.
No wonder the Bible says: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalm 14:1)
