The word gaping helps to create the impression of hell like a mouth that swallows the public if they do not do as Edward says
EXPLANATION:
- Edwards creates a terrible image of hell to non-Christians, because they have not committed themselves to God. There is the terrible glow of the flames of God's wrath in the text it cites; there is the big, gullible mouth of the flames.
- Edwards warns the non-Christians that God is willing to punish them for their non-existent faith in him and that hell is ready to accept them, just as God is willing to punish them.
- This quote is also used to threaten non-Christians to convert, because it paints a disturbing picture of hell. These ideas help show that Christians are powerful in the higher tone of the passage and that God has mercy upon them while the non-Christians vex him and will greatly punish them.
