"Heart attack"
Johann Faust
The namesake of this kind of deal was Johann Faust, a 15th century alchemist and magician. The life of this man has been obscured by folk legend. So little about him is known with certainty. It is said he spent years studying mysterious ancient documents. Then one day he used what he’d learned to summon a demon called Mephistopheles. Having spent his life thus far studying and with only one magical ability to show for it, Faust was not concerned with the consequences. The demon acting as a kind of broker for Satan, he sold his soul to the devil. In exchange for his soul he would first receive a lifetime of supernatural ability. The demon taught him knowledge of the universe and granted him real magical powers. The contract they signed was for 24 years. This to the young Faust seemed like a lifetime.
And so for 24 years he lived a life of hedonism and adventure, travelling Germany and doing whatever he wanted. He visited the pope of Rome, the Ottoman Sultan, and the Russian Tsar. He brought Helen of Troy back to life and married her. But around the 15th year into the contract he began to realize what a terrible mistake he’d made. He literally sold his soul for two decades of fun. Then one day he was found dead at his home. Blood and guts covering the walls as if he imploded. The legend of Faust has been retold many times since his death.
Luke 16:19-31
King James Version
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
