The wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). b. Sin not only causes physical death, but also eternal punishment in hell which is the second death (Rev 20:10, 14-15). ii. The strange woman is heading toward hell. a. She will take whoremongers with her. b. Fornicators and whoremongers have their part in the lake of fire (Heb 13:4; Rev 21:8; Rev 22:15). c. If men and women want to have the assurance of eternal life, they better flee whoredom (1Co 6:18). iii. The whore's house is also the way to hell on earth. a. Hell is a place of destruction (Mat 10:28; 2Th 1:9). b. The man that goes to the house of the strange woman destroys his own soul (Pro 6:32). c. He also destroys his life, including: (i) His honour (Pro 5:9) (ii) His wealth (Pro 5:10) (iii) His health (Pro 5:11) iv. The strange woman also represents false religion in the Bible (Rev 17:1-5; Pro 9:13-17). a. Idolatrous religion is described as whoredom (Exo 34:15). b. Her guests (those that go to her house of worship) are in the depths of hell (Pro 9:18). c. If men and women want to have the assurance of eternal life, they better flee idolatry and false religion (1Co 10:14). B. going down to the chambers of death. i. The strange woman is heading toward death. a. Her house inclineth unto death (Pro 2:18). b. Her house goes down to the chambers of death (the grave) (Pro 7:27). c. Chamber n. - 1. a. A room or apartment in a house; usually one appropriated to the use of one person; a private room; in later use esp. a sleeping apartment, a bedroom. ii. She will take her lovers with her. a. The man that goes in unto her has a death wish (Pro 5:23). b. None that go unto her take hold of the paths of life (Pro 2:19). c. Many strong men have been slain by her (Pro 7:26). iii. Following the strange woman can lead to death in many different ways. a. You could die of an STD from her (Pro 5:11). b. Her husband could kill you (Pro 6:34). c. God could kill you for your sin (Rom 6:23 c/w Act 5:4-5). d. You could experience death of fellowship in the church (Rom 1:29, 32 c/w Luk 15:24).
