Hell and Judgment

Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Hell is the place where all who do not belong to The Kingdom of God will go after death! It is the prison of heaven and the only alternative for those who are not citizens of The Kingdom of Heaven. It is there they share in the reward of the person they chose to follow, Satan.

Those who have never heard of Jesus will be judged by how they listened the the guidance of The Holy Spirit in their conscience.

Hell was originally prepare for the angels who rejected God even though they knew Him personally. It was not meant for mankind but Satan seduced mankind so that all who follow and serve him on earth will follow him to his reward in the lake of fire. They earn the reward of their king they followed on earth. They cannot go to heaven and the only other place they can go to, Hell, Tartarus, the former Hades and The Abyss are also temporary places for demons until they are thrown into the lake of fire.

People have also lost their sense of accountability to God as well as the concept of a final Judgment followed by rewards for service on this earth. This also results in a loss of the concept of righteousness, sanctification and holiness.

When the church stopped preaching these openly society was no longer confronted resulting in a Godless society where Jesus and His Kingdom are irrelevant.

God does not send people to hell, They go there as a result of choices they make. Choices to follow the things of Satan and not of God so that they go to the eternal place their Master is sent, namely Hell, and share in his reward for rebellion in the prison of The Kingdom of God.

We go to heaven as our reward for following Jesus and serving in His Kingdom while on earth.

Earth is the testing ground to see if we are to go to heaven or hell. It is all a matter of the choices we make so we need to guard our choices carefully and ensure they align with the Will of God.

People take Hell too lightly and few are concerned about the eternal fate and torment of those that do not know Jesus as lord and Saviour even though the last command of Jesus recorded in some of the Gospels is go to these lost people, teach, preach and demonstrate The Kingdom of God in the hope they will follow Jesus as Lord and Saviour and escape Hell and its eternal torment.

God is not unloving, uncaring or judgmental as Satan would seek to make Him out to be. God is gives people the rewards of serving the king they chose to follow while they were on earth.

It can be seen that salvation and our ultimate destiny is based on which king we serve and not which king we profess to serve. If you choose to follow Jesus as your Lord you will go to heaven otherwise you go to the other place.

What are the Torments of Hell?

You are separated from God and His love so there is no peace, just fear, torment and hopelessness of anything better ever happening.

There is the anguish and torment of seeing what is in heaven and knowing what could have been if you had followed Jesus instead of your selfish desires.

You are with a lot of very powerful unhappy demons who will be looking at expressing their anger at God on the people in hell.

You never die as your soul and spirit are eternal so you always have maximum physical pain from what the demons do to you.

There is eternal consuming fires to torment you and as the soul does not die you are continually being burned by these fires.

The worms that eat you in Hell will do so for eternity so that you will always have that pain with you in eternity,

If you love those going to Hell as Jesus Loved them you will make it a priority in your life to try and lead as many of these to Jesus as you can and by this rescue them from what the Bible calls eternal death.

Visions of Hell

Do not forget that Jesus spoke more of Hell than of Heaven

Jesus has taken people to hell and they have described what they saw and felt. What they saw should drive us to our knees to pray for people who are not saved and to cry out for labourers so people will share ion the joys of heaven that we will share on and not the terrors and horrors of hell. How can you say you have the Love of Christ and ignore the plight of the lost!

What have they seen:

A minister in a pit preaching from a bible. The flame consume his body and reveal the worm holes in his bones. The body then is reformed and burn again. He is preaching from the Bible and asked Jesus if he could go to heaven now as he was preaching the word. Liberal and lukewarm ministers you have been shown your fate.

A coffin with an evangelist in who had led many to Jesus but had turned aside himself. The demons march around it and poke spears through holes in the coffin. You could see the blood spurt out. Then a new group of demons came on and continued the punishment because he had taken people from Satan.

A follower of Satan in a cell. Two huge demons came in and tore her to shreds. Her body reformed and they did it again.

A river of fire in which were chained homosexuals completely covered by the fiery river. Forever immersed in fire. They lusted and emotional fire in them and now they were suffering physical, eternal fire.

They also talk of the fear and terror in hell. There is no love in hell as Satan rules and there is only fear, torment and no hope of it ever ending these. There is also the oppressive atmosphere and semi darkness that highlights the evil and suffering in hell. Which also never ends.

How do you reconcile a God of love with this? He tried to tell these people in hell how to live but they ignored Him and followed Satan so now he has allowed them to go to the king they chose and did not go against their free will and force them to go to heaven.

Can you stand by and know this torment is happening and not feel in your heart the love God has for these people lost forever?

You can see why the second command Jesus gave us was to try an reach these people for Him to save them from hell and all the punishment and torments that are there. Ignore this commission at your eternal peril.

What are you to do? Obey Jesus in all things and He will show you who He wants you to speak to and will tell you what to tell them. He lays no other burden on you than this (Mat 6:33). You are to prepare yourself also to have the knowledge Jesus needs to use through you otherwise you are being a poor steward of your serving Him as you do not learn what is necessary to do so. In extreme cases you could be in such lukewarmness or rebellion you will go to hell yourself.

Examine yourself before Jesus and see what you need to do for Him to be able to use you to reach others for Him and you will not be judged for not doing this commandment.

Never lose the horrors of hell and you will be motivated in your Christian life in a way ministers cannot motivate you.

The Church and Preaching Hell

The condemnation of the modern western church is that is does not do this with a willing or wholehearted spirit and so lets many go to hell that may have gone to heaven if confronted by salvation and what Jesus offers. Having said that there is also the fact God is God of love and gives everyone a chance to get to heaven it is just it is easier if we follow Jesus than if we follow our conscience (which is what those who do not understand about Jesus have to do).

Why are the torments in hell so bad? It is Satan’s kingdom. God’s Love and Mercy are not found there but Satan’s merciless , loveless, destructive attitudes rule there and God cannot prevent what Satan will do to them as they have rejected God’s Love and Mercy and accepted Satan’s rule over their life with the resultant rewards in hell of a loveless, cruel existence.

In hell people are helpless against the demons and this is one of the greatest fears, having these powerful demons who can hurt them when they want to and there is nothing to protect them from the demons. We have Jesus who protects us on earth and also in heaven. Because God is protecting us and His Nature is Love there is no fear in heaven or no hate. Just Love and loving service, expressed in all that happens.

The Kingdom of Heaven comes through force

Why does the Kingdom of heaven come with force? Because you are at war and your opponent (Satan) is not going to voluntarily give up ground (any part of His Kingdom).

You are continually under attack as he tries to take what he can of the Kingdom of God. Your but defence is to attack him back. He is defeated and must obey Jesus and go to the abyss when commanded to in Jesus’ Name and in the Will of Jesus.

Satan is always looking at ways toi attack you so you should be looking at ways to attack and plunder his kingdom and by this furthering The Kingdom of God.

The choice is yours. Attack and plunder Satan’s kingdom or just sit there and be attacked and plundered by him.

How do you expand the Kingdom of God?

You expand it by force. You let Jesus expand it through you obeying Him and attacking Satan and taking territory from him.

Jesus said "The Kingdom cometh not except by force"

Satan is not going to give up his territory, possessions, people or any other part of his kingdom.

So how do we take it by force?

The Salvation Truths of God and deliverance set people free and the casting out, binding or removing demons from objects allows us to claim the object for the Kingdom of God.

The delegated authority to cast out or remove demons has been tried to be removed by Satan from the Bible through the section it is in the Bible being questioned as belonging to The Bible (Mark 16:17-19)

This shows how much Satan fears this delegated authority over his kingdom so if a church is not using it capture the things of the enemy (Satan) they have lost the battle before they have even began to fight. They are not taking the kingdom of Satan by force and are a sitting target for him.

Judgment on the Land

Gal 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

What happens to the land where the rulers do not follow God and the things of His Kingdom? Satan is able to take over and bring his destruction and disorder to the land. God has to allow it as the people have chosen Satan and his ways over God and His ways and this is possible as the church has not stopped this takeover or done much to hinder it.

What are the judgments on the land?

These are listed in Nahum:

Tempest (storms) 1:3

Drought 1:4

Earthquake and Fire 1:5

Flood 1:6

Death of the people 1:15

Disease in the crops 2:2

Invasion 2:4

Destruction of the political power of the nation 2:6

Nations will reject the people and the political power that it still has 36,7

The land will be desolate and the people dispossessed of their land 3:18 (It will cease to exist as a nation).

What is God’s Solution

Fasting

The first fast actually commanded in the Bible is in the book of Joel and has to do with repenting and preventing judgment:

Joel 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Repentance:

2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

What is the responsibility of the church

The prophets should be calling the church to repentance and to the church evangelizing the lost and then teaching what it means to belong to The Kingdom of God so that the order of God is restored but most churches and prophets are not doing this.

The church should be warfaring in the spiritual against the plans of Satan as well as making the laws of the land and not letting those who do not follow Jesus make them. It should also be dialogueing with law makers to ensure they know what God wants so that they cannot say they did not know what God wanted.

It is only when the government rules in accordance with the wishes of God and in tune with His Kingdom will the land be healed and at peace.

Those not doing this call to repentance need to examine themselves and determine if they are really following Jesus and whether He is lord. If they cannot say He is Lord they may also not be able to say they are saved. But that is between you and God alone as you alone will need to give account to Him for how you have lived the salvation He gave to you.

Why is Anti Christ able to make peace so quickly
when no one else has been able too?

Satan rules the world and his is the only kingdom on it. Other man made Kingdoms (except for Israel) have been set up by Him and he stirs them up against each other so that there is always war. All he has to do is stop this stirring and instant peace will occur. Thus has he set up anti–Christ to bring instant peace in this world. Only when Jesus rules will there be true peace

Oh Come Lord Jesus
