Truth or Fallacy? If Heaven is real, why can't all Christians and good people exit this miserable World by all means instead of suffering?

The Old clergyman broods over his almost Grey-white beard, the words pouring out of the Taxi driver he was preaching to about Heaven a few moments ago seems to be piercing him, his face is now flushed with a mixture of smile and a smirk as he kept listening to the young man driving him to the airport, not knowing when his one-man congregation would give him a break and an opportunity to explain further with some scriptural verses from the Holy Bible.

As an immigrant, the Cab driver in his early to mid-thirties must have seen and maybe experience a lot of hardship which as built up as bitterness against the World in his consciousness the Rev'd Father was thinking deeply to himself, life has disappointed a whole lot of people and they are on the verge of giving up. This made several people to have reached a conclusion about heaven even if they don't believe in its existence.

A statement that caught the old Father as i quote in the topic when the elderly man started preaching about heaven and the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the younger man after listening for a few minutes burst out ;

"All Christians and good people need not suffer in this wicked World if truly there is a place better where there is n more sorrow and tears, poverty and hunger or diseases, they can't be all dumb and continue living if heaven truly exists. I would have ended my life here on earth and go enjoy there if i was a Christian like them he said"

Father looked at him and interrupted his almost ten minutes rants that seems hours and said to him; "would you take your own life to be in that heaven?"

He paused, still driving as the question hit him, he gripped the Steering harder like he wanted to squeeze the life out of it. The lad was still quiet when another question from the elderly man hit him again;

"Do you know where people who kill another human go to when they die?"

To that, he quickly retorted; "they will go to a very bad place, their souls must be eternally dammed he finished his statement"

He caught the grin on the clergyman's face, instantaneously the cab became Ghostly silent as the older man allowed his young friend to ponder on his earlier statement, the second question made him realize his folly. He finally admits it, in a low tone he said; "I guess I'll be dammed to kill myself"

MORAL

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezekiel 18:20)

The above verse might not be accepted by people of the World but "Those who live by the sword die by the sword", so to say the Taxi driver knew killing himself to be in a better place is murder, just like killing another soul and it is a sin.

Heaven, the Kingdom of God is a Holy Place where no unclean thing shall enter therein (Revelation 21:27).

No matter how horrible or wicked this life has become, there is no new thing under the Sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9), every bad thing happening now has happened before in the days of old (During the great flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon, etc.). For believers, this is a great challenge for us, The Kingdom of God is a place we all must aim to be to make up for the bad things we have gone through and still gloing through in life, where our souls go to after death is paramount.

No one dare rushs to heaven, he or she would end up in a place of mourning andd gnashing of teeths in doing so, he who takes his own life or another person's life shall not enter into the Holy City. Brethen, be of good cheer and endure to the end to be with the Lord in that place where there's no more sorrow or sadness, a place where happiness and joy feels the heart of those that has been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.
