In the book of Luke 16:19 - 25, the story was told of two people that lived here on earth and died. When they opened their eyes on the other side of eternity, the two of them found themselves in two different places. The two men were the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man was in torment in hell. Note that he was not in hell because of his money, but because of how he lived his life on earth. The rich man could also recognise Lazarus in Heaven. Lazarus did not go to Heaven because he was poor, but because of the life he lived while on earth.
