Heaven Hotter than Hell? [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[Xetox]

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.

I bet Jesus gets to have central air, since his dad owns the place.

That verse has nothing to do with the temperature of heaven. It speaks of a time of when things will occur, that is all. No where in that verse does it say anything about heaven. It is a prophecy that is being spoken of in that chapter.
