When one was being burned alive, the pain was unimaginable. That was the reason why all the records related to hell in the Holy See's Ancient Classics described it as a fiery place.
All non-believers would have to be tortured by the flames of hell.
The soldiers that were climbing the city wall were clearly believers of God. Flames were spurting out from between the cracks in their armor. These soldiers continued climbing anyway. They were numb from pain and single-mindedly wanted to continue climbing for God.
The city wall was thirty yards high. Even without the flames, it was not an easy task for the soldiers to climb the city wall successfully. Once the kerosene started burning, the sticky liquid on the soldiers' gloves began to evaporate. More than one-hundred soldiers were about to reach the top of the city wall, but the sticky liquid on their gloves finally lost all effects and they fell back down again.
