If YOU delay making a decision to accept the Blood-Substitution Sacrifice of Jesus Christ as atonement for YOUR sins, then YOU have deluded YOURSELF into believing that YOU have not made a decision. YOU have made a decision, and YOUR decision is NO, YOU will not accept the Blood-Substitution Sacrifice of Jesus Christ as atonement for YOUR sins.
If YOU hide from the truth behind human tradition and what YOU have been taught, YOU are refusing to accept the truth about the atoning Blood-Substitution Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (NIV) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Historically, a messenger with disturbing news was sometimes killed. If YOU are looking at the humanity of the messenger, then YOU are looking for a reason to not accept the message. YOU have consciously or subconsciously concluded that if YOU depreciate or kill the messenger YOU will depreciate or kill the message. YOU are wrong. The messenger is absolutely insignificant, simply a courier.
If YOU believe that a merciful and loving God would not create an eternal Hell, then YOU are failing to acknowledge that God is also a God of perfect justice.
If God created an opportunity for YOU to have eternal bliss in Heaven; then philosophically, algebraically, and most important judicially, God must also have created an opportunity for YOU to have eternal torment in Hell. The level of torment must be in direct proportion to the level of bliss in order to balance God's perfect scales of justice. As there will be complete bliss in Heaven for eternity, there will also be complete torment in Hell for eternity.
Human criminal judicial systems are established to determine the guilt of a person who has violated the law, and to then dictate just punishment for that violation. Human judicial systems are not designed to determine guilt and then purposely fail to dictate a just and equitable punishment. Unlike the inevitable inequities of a human judicial system, God’s judicial system is complete perfect justice.
Historians have estimated that there were six million Jewish people alive at the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Jewish people at the time of Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion requested that the punishment for the death of Jesus Christ be placed on them and on their children:
Matthew 27:25 (NIV) All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
The Holy Spirit of God is not verbose. The Holy Spirit of God directed Matthew to record an historical occurrence reflecting the Jewish statement, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" for a very specific reason. The Jewish request is a portent. I do not believe that the Jewish people completely understood the judicial request that they were making. The Jewish people did not ask for the substitution sacrifice of bulls, sheep, goats, doves or young pigeons as the Levitical law allowed. The Jewish people did not ask that Jesus Christ bear the punishment for their sins. The Jewish people did not ask for mercy, the Jewish people asked for responsibility. The Jewish people asked that the punishment for the death of Jesus Christ be born by themselves and their children. The Jewish people asked for justice. In requesting justice, I am certain that the Jewish people did not realize that they were setting a cause in motion that would ultimately effect approximately six million of their descendants including men, women, and children being murdered at the hands of Adolph Hitler.
Deuteronomy 19:21 (NIV) Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
In view of the perfect order of God, I am sure that exactly one Jewish man, woman and child died at the hands of Adolph Hitler directly corresponding to one Jewish man, woman and child who was alive at the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Did God direct Satan to motivate Adolph Hitler to kill six million Jewish people? No. Satan desires to destroy everything that has life. The Holy Spirit of God restricted Satan, Hitler, and Hitler's organization from the wickedness that their evil hearts desired, and allowed them to ONLY effect the justice that the Jewish people had requested at the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As in the case of Pharaoh, God waited patiently for God's time when the justice was to be carried out.
In The Book of Esther, Haman conspired to exterminate the entire Jewish race. Before Haman had ever conjured up Haman's plan, God had already positioned Esther and Mordecai to save the Jewish people. Haman's conspiracy occurred before the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. After the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, when Hitler conjured up his plan to completely exterminate the Jewish race, where was the "Esther" and "Mordecai" of that age? "Esther", "Mordecai", and no one else was in place to save the Jewish people. Why?
Because of the United States of America's many ongoing sins, which include the heinous sin of abortion, the United States will also have to pay: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. (Deuteronomy 19:21 NIV)
If this is indicative of God’s perfectly balanced judicial system, how can YOU conclude that YOU will not receive eternal punishment if YOU reject God’s perfect love? The message of God's love for YOU is the greatest most significant love story of eternity.
John 3:16 (NIV) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Romans 5:8 (NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Hebrews 2:2-3a (NIV) For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?
Hebrews 10:28-31 (NIV) Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
· Hell: the word used in the King James version of the Old Testament to translate the Hebrew word "sheol," signifying the unseen state.

· The Abyss: prison of disobedient spirits, bottomless pit, the deep.
· Gehenna: The Valley of Ben Hinnom. After the Old Testament period, Jewish apocalyptic writers began to call The Valley of Ben Hinnom the entrance to Hell, later Hell itself.
Gehenna - The Valley of Ben Hinnom outside the city walls of Jerusalem
Numbers 16:30-33 (NIV) But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt." 31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, with their households and all Korah's men and all their possessions. 33 They went down alive into the grave, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community.
Deuteronomy 32:22 (NIV) For a fire has been kindled by my wrath, one that burns to the realm of death below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains.
2 Chronicles 28:1-3 (NIV) Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD. 2 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made cast idols for worshiping the Baals. 3 He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
2 Chronicles 33:1-6 (NIV) Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever." 5 In both courts of the temple of the LORD, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
Jeremiah 32:32-35 (NIV) The people of Israel and Judah have provoked me by all the evil they have done--they, their kings and officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs to me and not their faces; though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline. 34 They set up their abominable idols in the house that bears my Name and defiled it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech, though I never commanded, nor did it enter my mind, that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
2 Kings 23:8-10 (NIV) Josiah brought all the priests from the towns of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He broke down the shrines at the gates--at the entrance to the Gate of Joshua, the city governor, which is on the left of the city gate. 9 Although the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests. 10 He desecrated Topheth, which was in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so no one could use it to sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
Jeremiah 7:31-32 (NIV) They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire--something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind. 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.

The punishment for their sins rested on their bones, though the terror of these warriors had stalked through the land of the living.
Matthew 3:10-12 (NIV) The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."
Matthew 8:11-12 (NIV) "I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Mark 9:43-48 (NIV) "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

Luke 3:17 (NIV) His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Luke 8:30-31 (NIV) Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.
Luke 16:19-31 (NIV) "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Luke 19:27 (NIV) "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"
2 Thessalonians 1:7b-9 (NIV) This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power
Hebrews 10:26-27 (NIV) If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
James 3:6 (NIV) The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
2 Peter 2:4-10 (NIV) For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)-- 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
Jude 1:6-7 (NIV) And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
Revelation 6:8 (NIV) I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Revelation 9:1-6 (NIV) The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
Revelation 9:11 (NIV) They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
Revelation 11:7 (NIV) Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Revelation 14:9-11 (NIV) A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Revelation 17:8 (NIV) The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
Revelation 19:20 (NIV) But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Revelation 20:1-3 (NIV) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Revelation 20:10 (NIV) And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
After the end of the Seven Thousand Years of Measured Time, there will be the Great White Throne Judgment of God.
Daniel 7:9-10 (NIV) "As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. 10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
Revelation 20:11-15 (NIV) Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:8 (NIV) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
At the Great White Throne Judgment, if YOU are a sinner when YOU come into the presence of Almighty God, YOU will not resist, or go "kicking and screaming" into Hell; YOU will run as fast as YOU can to any place that will permit YOU to hide from the Face of God.
After coming into the presence of Almighty God, YOU will instantly fully comprehend YOUR own sinful wickedness, and YOU will be completely, totally humiliated and ashamed of YOURSELF. YOU will feel and know complete humiliation when YOU come into God's presence. Consider the humiliation of being caught in an embarrassing situation in front of a large crowd of people that are important to YOU. Consider the shame of being caught in something dishonorable by YOUR mother, or YOUR children. Multiply that shame and humiliation to infinity, by being found sinful in the presence of the Perfect and Loving Almighty God; after God had provided at complete cost to Himself, and at no cost to YOU, a way whereby YOU did not have to be sinful. Because of YOUR shame and humiliation, YOU will not desire, nor be able to bring YOURSELF to look at God.
Heb 12:14 (NIV) Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
YOU will involuntarily fall on YOUR knees with YOUR face to the ground and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Philippians 2:9-11 (NIV) Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
YOU will then be delighted to flee from God's presence. The only place that YOU will be able to flee is Hell. YOU will run from the face of God Almighty. Because of YOUR sinful condition, YOU will gladly go anywhere that YOU can in order to hide from the face of God. Hell will be a relief for YOU when YOU come into the presence of God while in YOUR sinful condition.
Man hiding from God because of man's sinful condition was spoken of from The Book of Genesis to The Book of Revelation.
Genesis 3:6-10 (NIV) When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."
Revelation 6:15-17 (NIV) Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
If YOU do not accept the Blood-Substitution Sacrifice of Jesus Christ as atonement for YOUR sins, then one of the horrors of Hell that YOU will know for eternity is complete shame and humiliation. YOU will be forced to exist eternally with the knowledge that YOU are a complete and utter fool; FOREVER.
At the Judgment, YOU will incur the wrath, scorn, and righteous hatred of a loving God who sent His only Son that YOU might have life, but YOU rejected Him.
Luke 19:27 (NIV) "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"
Then death and Hades, the devil, all of his demons, the False Prophet, and the Anti-Christ will be thrown into the lake of fire with YOU.
In Hell, based on the word "many" in Matthew 7:13 and the word "most" in Matthew 24:12, YOU will see the reunion and be in the company of:
All unrepentant murderers, most murdered;
Edi Amin, most of those people whose organs he had surgically removed so that he could eat them in their presence before they died;
Attilla the Hun;
Charles Manson and his followers, Sharon Tate and her friends;
Gacy the killer who practiced homosexuality, probably most of the 30 boys he killed and buried;
Jimmy Hoffa, his murderers, most of his victims;
the men of Sodom and Gomorrah who were practicing homosexuality;
the entire organization of "ACT UP";
most of those who will die of A.I.D.S.;
priests who practice homosexuality; preachers, women who practice lesbianism, transsexuals;
drug kings like Ochoa, and the politicians he paid, and the politicians he killed;
drug dealers, and their victims, still needing a fix, and crazy because of it;
Al Capone, Lucky Lucianio, Carlos Marcellos, Joe Bonnano, "Big Paul" Castellano, John Gotti and their entire organizations;
Caesar, Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, scribes, a disciple, popes, general superintendents, cardinals, bishops, district superintendents, evangelists, preachers, deacons, laymen;
"Hell is paved with priests' skulls." - Saint John Chrysostom 345-407
Jim Jones, most of those he deceived and brutalized;
those like the impenitent thief that was crucified beside Jesus Christ, and the rich young ruler who came so close, but lost;
preachers who did not preach the truth, those damned because of it;
teachers who did not teach the truth, those damned because of it;
hypocritical Christians who failed to witness with their lives, those damned because of it;
fathers who did not teach their children of Jesus Christ, older children who never knew;
mothers who did not keep Jesus Christ at the center of the home, older children who did not learn;
brothers and sisters who failed to walk in the light, those damned because of it;
those who sat on the church pew all their lives, and never accepted Jesus Christ as their God;
all terrorists, all who hate, the sexually immoral, the impure, the sensuous, the idolaters, witches, the jealous, those subject to fits of rage, the selfishly ambitious, the dissenters, the fractious, the envious, the drunks, those who participate in orgies, the lustful, the greedy, the malicious, the slanderers, the people who use filthy language, the liars, people who are lovers of themselves, people who are lovers of money, the boastful, the proud, the abusive, those disobedient to their parents, the ungrateful, the unholy, those without love, the unforgiving, the brutal, those without self control, the rash, the conceited, those that love pleasure rather than God, those that deny the power of Jesus Christ, the persecutors, the deceivers, thieves, false testifiers, the lewd, the arrogant, the wicked, the evil, the depraved, the gossips, the God haters, the insolent, the senseless, the faithless, the heartless, the ruthless, (Galatians 5:19-21; Colossians 3:5-10; 2 Timothy 3; Matthew 15:19,20; Mark 7:20-23; Romans 1:28-32)
EVERY MUSLIM, EVERY BUDDHIST, EVERY MEMBER OF THE BABI AND BAHAI FAITH, EVERY CONFUCIAN, EVERY HINDU, EVERY JAINIST, EVERY SHINTO, EVERY SIK, EVERY TAOIST, EVERY PERSON THAT PRACTICES ZOROASTRIANISM, EVERY PERSON WHO IS DECEIVED BY THE TEACHING CREDITED TO JOHN CALVIN INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY CAN SIN EVERY DAY IN "WORD, THOUGHT, AND DEED" AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN, EVERY PERSON THAT PRAYS TO MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST,
EVERY PERSON THAT HAS NOT ACCEPTED THE BLOOD-SUBSTITUTION SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST AS ATONEMENT FOR THEIR SINS!
The haters and the hated will have an opportunity for vengeance, with no retreat, no asylum, no rest, no refuge, no death, and no end. YOU will fight to the death, but YOU will not die.
YOU will be with countless fallen angels, more powerful than humans, especially vengeful because when they fell there was no redemption for them. They will know that YOU had an opportunity that they never had of redemption, and YOU refused to accept redemption. They also know that God created them to serve YOU, and they will delight in doing the opposite. They will terrorize YOU.
Hebrews 1:14 (NIV) Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
If YOU become confined with the wicked for eternity, it will be infinitely worse than if YOU become confined with the wicked today. Allah and his demons will spend eternity in Hell, in all likelihood performing acts of anal and oral intercourse on Mohammed, the Ayotollah Khomeini, all of the Imams, Sadegh Gotzbeda, all terrorists, all Moslems, and everyone who dies without the Blood-Substitution Sacrifice of Jesus Christ covering their sins. I pray that Cassius Clay, Lew Alcindor, and Bobby Moore may come to their senses and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and God, or they will be included in the group of Allah's sweet little girlfriends.
Ezekiel 23:20 (NIV) There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
Are YOU going to be one of Allah's sweet little girlfriends? I can guarantee YOU that Allah won't be gentle.
No water, no food, no comfort, no love, no joy, no peace, no patience, no kindness, no goodness, no faithfulness, no gentleness, no self control, no compassion, no humility, no forgiveness, no Righteousness, no godliness, no brotherly kindness, no faith, no hope, no charity, no redemption.
YOUR torment will be so powerful, it will create smoke that will go up day and night forever and ever!
Revelation 14:11 (NIV) And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Revelation 20:10 (NIV) And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Since Satan and his angels were thrown down from Heaven, God has completely restricted Satan and his angels from acting in the way that they want to act. EVEN DURING THE MIDST OF THE "GREAT TRIBULATION" PERIOD, GOD WILL STILL BE PLACING STRICT LIMITATIONS ON SATAN AND HIS ANGELS. At the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet, God will allow Satan to torture ONLY those who do not have the Seal of God on their foreheads. At the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet, God will ONLY allow Satan to torture the followers of Satan. In Hell, the ONLY restriction that God will place on Satan, is that God will not allow Satan to leave Hell. In Hell, Satan will be able to treat his children in any way that he desires. The Fifth Trumpet and the Fifth Bowl give YOU an insight into how Satan desires to treat his children.
Revelation 9:1-11 (NIV) The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. 7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
Revelation 16:10-11 (NIV) The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
God has given YOU five physical senses to enable YOU to function in the physical world. Because YOU are a trinity with a body, spirit, and a soul; God has also given YOU a sixth sense for communication with the spirit world. If YOU end up in Hell, every single one of YOUR five physical senses will be tortured simultaneously to the absolute maximum possible for eternity. YOUR five physical senses are taste, smell, touch, hearing, and sight.
YOUR mouth will be full of the most horrific tastes that are possible, exponentially worse than YOU can imagine, for eternity. Try to use YOUR imagination; consider that YOUR mouth will be full of bitter, rotten, sour, sulfuric human waste. The taste of Hell will be exponentially worse than that. Every single one of YOUR teeth will quickly rot into the bone creating an abscess, and creating a horrendous tooth ache where every tooth lays rotting. YOUR abscess teeth will ache for eternity. YOU will gnaw YOUR tongue in agony because of the pain that YOU are in.
YOUR taste and smell senses are closely associated, so YOU will smell and taste the smoke of burning sulfur, and human flesh. Human flesh has a smell different from all other smells. At the Nazi death camps, the Nazi's sometimes structured their slaughter contingent on the direction of the wind, attempting to direct the smell of the burning flesh towards less populated areas. Some of the burning flesh will be YOUR own.
YOU will smell the stink and stench of the most horrifically offensive bad odors. YOU will struggle to breath, in the most rank, rotten, putrid, nauseating smells possible. The smell of Hell will be exponentially worse than YOU can imagine, and it will last for eternity.
YOU will feel the most horrific sensations on and through YOUR body that are possible. YOU will feel the eternal burning of fire on and throughout YOUR body; maggots and worms will crawl all over YOUR skin, but the maggots and worms will not die. YOU will feel the sting of scorpions covering YOUR skin. Crushing pressure on YOUR body will make it very hard for YOU to breath. Every breath that YOU take will be a struggle to achieve, exactly as a person who is crucified struggles to get every breath, and then suffocates to death when His muscles are no longer able to pull Him up so that He can get a breath. The pressure YOU feel will not only be outside of YOUR body pressing down on YOUR body, the pressure will be inside YOUR body, pressing outward. The pain of kidney stones is caused when the kidney stones block the urine discharge from the bladder, and pressure is built up within the bladder. There have been women who testified that kidney stones were more painful than childbearing. The pain of child birth is caused by pressure, as the flexing of the mother's abdomen creates the pressure that is necessary to birth the baby. That pressure is so great, that it tears the mothers flesh in order to push the baby out of her body. All of the organs inside of YOUR body will abscess. The abscessing of YOUR internal organs will cause extreme swelling resulting in massive internal pressure that will never go away. The pain of a boil on YOUR skin is because of the pressure of the buildup of pus under YOUR skin. When YOU consider what Satan did to Job, you can conclude that Satan will certainly do that to YOU. Like Job, YOU will be covered from head to toe with boils. The pain of a splinter under YOUR fingernail is because of pressure. YOU will feel the pressure of the splinterous spikes, not just under your fingernails, but all over YOUR body that will be identical to the Crown of Thorns that Jesus Christ endured in order that YOU might not have to endure what YOU are now enduring. You will feel the agony of YOUR mashed fingers, and YOUR mashed toes because of the buildup of blood under YOUR fingernails and YOUR toenails creating pressure. Because of the heat that YOUR body is in, YOUR blood will boil within YOUR body causing excruciating pain, until YOUR blood bursts through YOUR skin in a volcanic eruption, but YOU will not die, and the flow of YOUR blood will never be exhausted. YOU will feel the sensation of piercing, as dull objects pierce YOUR body, exactly like the piercing that Jesus Christ felt when they drove the spikes through the bones of His hands and through the bones of His feet when He was Crucified. YOUR body will become so battered and beat, that YOU will be unrecognizable as a human, exactly as occurred to Jesus Christ during the Crucifixion in order that YOU would not have to endure what YOU are enduring. Jesus Christ suffered voluntarily for YOU. When YOU arrive in Hell, YOU will no longer have any options.
YOU will hear constant loud, roaring, thunderously booming, blasting, piercing, ear-splitting noise that will actually shatter YOUR ear drums, but YOUR eardrums will continue to function. YOUR ear drums will constantly bleed because of the noise. Because of the constant bleeding, YOUR ear drums will become infected. The infection of YOUR ear drums will create pressure and a horrendous ear ache in each ear, but YOUR ears will continue to function. YOU will hear the screams of the eternally lost, the screams of the devil, the screams of demons, the screams of the tormented, YOUR own screams, the screams of YOUR loved ones, but they will not love YOU , there will be no love there. They will hate YOU. YOU will not have a single friend, as YOU will be awash alone with YOUR god - who is YOU , in a sea of hatred-filled demonic and human spirits.
YOU will see terror everywhere YOU look. YOU will see terrorists everywhere YOU look. YOU will see the heinous awesome, wickedness of Hell, and all that's going on. YOU will see all those that are in Hell, all those YOU know who are being tortured with YOU. YOU will see cruel, grasping, snarling demons, through YOUR eyes that are crusted over from tearing caused by the dense smoke of burning sulfur and burning human flesh.
THE ETERNAL TORTURE OF YOUR FIVE PHYSICAL SENSES IS THE BEST PART OF HELL!
HELL IS EXPONENTIALLY WORSE THAN THE ETERNAL TORTURE OF YOUR FIVE PHYSICAL SENSES!
The spiritual is always superior to the physical. It is the spiritual torture that will create the most torment in Hell. I had a dream in the recent past, where for just a microsecond, I believe that God allowed me to experience just a very small, minute veiled sensation of being in a form of Hell. The terror and horror that I experienced for just a brief microsecond immediately woke me up, and I was so terrified that I instantly began praying to God, that He would help me, and enable me to keep my sanity. When I had regained my composure, I went and looked in the mirror to see if my hair had instantly turned white. Prior to that experience, I had always considered the pain of Hell to be primarily associated with its physical aspects. The physical aspects of Hell are nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
IT IS THE MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL TORTURE OF HELL THAT IS THE MOST HORRENDOUS!
The founder and president of the American Atheist organization Madalyn Murray O'Hair, was very instrumental in the moral decline of the United States of America. Madalyn Murray O'Hair was a primary motivating factor in removing prayer to God, and the reading of the Holy Bible, from the public school system, through the Supreme Court decision that resulted from the lawsuit: "Abington School District v. Schempp". Following that Supreme Court decision, public school students do not receive teaching of God and God's law in a public environment. Many of those public school students are not taught about God, and God's law in their respective homes. The net effect of that Supreme Court decision is easily seen in the the radical deterioration of the public school system, the exponential increase in the crime rate, resulting in a massive increase in the cost to operate penal institutions, and the overall moral decline of America since that immoral Supreme Court decision. It has been erroneously stated that, "A government cannot legislate morality." History has proven that when a government fails to legislate morality, it has only been a matter of time until that disorderly and chaotic government could not legislate anything at all. The truth is that if a government fails to legislate morality, the disorder and chaos that will result from that governmental failure will destroy that disorderly and chaotic government and the disorderly and chaotic society that they infected.
In early October 1995, when a headless, handless male corpse was found on a riverbank east of Dallas, Texas, it was not immediately evident who the corpse was; and what specific action had taken place, in the horrific crime that had obviously occurred. In the summer of 1996, John MacCormack, a San Antonio reporter began connecting the dots to the headless, handless corpse. It was ultimately discovered that sometime prior to August 28, 1995, David Roland Waters, a convicted murderer who had worked as a typesetter and then office manager for the American Atheist organization, along with Waters' accomplices, Gary Karr, and Danny Fry; captured and held Madalyn Murray O'Hair, her son Jon Garth Murray, and her granddaughter Robin Murray O'Hair in the Warren Inn Apartments in San Antonio, Texas for a month, while they extorted Madalyn Murray O'Hair for, among other items, $500,000 dollars worth of gold coins. David Waters and his two accomplices then murdered all three members of the Murray-O'Hair family. Following the extortion and murder of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, her son Jon Garth Murray, and her granddaughter Robin Murray O'Hair; David Roland Waters and Gary Karr then murdered their third accomplice Danny Fry, and cut off Fry's head and hands. It was the headless, handless body of Danny Fry whom the Dallas County Sheriffs department had found on the riverbank east of Dallas. David Waters later confessed to the killing of Danny Fry, and ultimately led the police to the bodies of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, her son Jon Garth Murray, and her granddaughter Robin Murray O'Hair; along with the head and hands of Danny Fry, that had been buried on a ranch in Camp Wood, Texas. The bodies of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, her son Jon Garth Murray, and her granddaughter Robin Murray O'Hair had been dismembered with a bow saw.
Prior to her death, Madalyn Murray O'Hair had diabetes, and consequently had a great personal fear of losing her toes. David Waters had been discharged as an employee by Madalyn Murray O'Hair for embezzling, but knew of Madalyn Murray O'Hair's worst personal fear of losing her toes. David Waters was filled with the spirit of the devil, and in complete compliance with the devil's modus operandi, or typical method of operation, David Waters began the torture of Madalyn Murray O'Hair by pulling her toes off with pliers, one by one. Unless Madalyn Murray O'Hair repented of her sin and accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and God, Madalyn Murray O'Hair's Hell began while she was still alive on this earth, and exponentially increased as she crossed the line from life into death. Madalyn Murray O'Hair experienced her worst known fear even while she was still alive. David Waters, as an agent of the devil, tortured the devil's child Madalyn Murray O'Hair, in accordance with how the devil treats all of the devil's children. Hell is just as real as blood spurting through the mangled, shredded flesh, across the crushed and splintered bones extruding out of Madalyn Murray O'Hair's quivering, convulsing feet, as David Waters slowly, painfully pulled Madalyn Murray O'Hair's individual toes off with pliers. It is possible that Madalyn Murray O'Hair went into shock and lost consciousness. It is also possible that Madalyn Murray O'Hair did not go into shock and lose consciousness. David Waters dismembered Madalyn Murray O'Hair's body with a bow saw.
Fear is the opposite of Faith. At birth, Madalyn Murray O'Hair was given a free-will by God, to have faith in God, or to not have faith in God. Madalyn Murray O'Hair refused throughout her known life to exercise faith in God; ultimately her free-will was stripped, and she was forced by the devil to face her own worst personal fears.
1 John 4:18 (NIV) There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Psalm 112:5-8 (NIV) Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
In all likelihood, Madalyn Murray O'Hair passed from physical life into eternal death.
Jeremiah 8:20 (NIV) "The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved."
YOU will live for eternity with YOUR own worst personal fears. If YOU have ever experienced claustrophobia; in Hell YOU will feel that YOU are tightly restricted in a tomb so small that YOU will only be able to move enough to brutally beat YOURSELF in panic. YOUR tomb will be placed under a mountain deep into the earth with absolutely no chance for YOU to escape. YOUR tomb will have darkness that YOU can feel. YOUR tomb will not have any air that YOU can breath. If YOU have acrophobia, YOU will feel that YOU are suspended by a spider's web on the pinnacle of a very high structure twisting in "a scorching wind (Psalm 11:6)" that skewers YOU like a shish-kabob over a furnace; YOU will never become stable, and YOU will never be able to get down. If YOU have the fear of falling, YOU already know that Hell is a bottomless pit. If YOU have arachnophobia, YOU will be confined in an ocean of spiders. If YOU have aqua phobia, YOU will have the sensation of being trapped in an underwater cave, deep under the bottom of the ocean, unable to get YOUR breath. I do not know what YOUR fears are. YOU do not even know what YOUR fears are, but if YOU end up in Hell, YOU will know every one of YOUR worst fears, at the same time, for eternity. Following my dream, I immediately understood how the torture of waterboarding that the United States Government has used in Guantanamo has been so effective. The average person cracks under waterboarding in 14 seconds! What I experienced in my dream was potentially worse than waterboarding in that there was no administrator; I was alone, consequently there was no hope for relief. THERE WAS NO HOPE FOR RELIEF! Sleep deprivation is another very effective form of mental torture. YOUR body will become completely fatigued, yet YOU will never be able to rest, YOU will never have a break, YOU will never have a respite, YOU will never be able to sleep for a second of relief. YOU will never get any more sleep forever. The demons and YOUR own tortured mind will never allow YOU to sleep. YOUR torment will be so terrible, that it will actually cause smoke to ascend up from YOU forever and ever.
Revelation 14:9-11 (NIV) A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Mental torture is exponentially more effective than physical torture. YOUR imagination cannot scratch the surface of the horror of Hell. YOU will be in complete and utter torment physically, and YOU will be mentally consumed by YOUR greatest fears. Consider the physical and mental torture of Hell for one minute...one hour...one day...one month...one year...ten years...one hundred years...one thousand years...ten thousand years...one hundred thousand years...one million years...ten million years...one hundred million years...one billion years...ten billion years...one hundred billion years...one trillion years...ten trillion years...one hundred trillion years...and then start the count again on second number one...
Revelation 1:12-18 (NIV) I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."
Revelation 3:20 (NIV) "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
TODAY ONLY DO YOU HAVE HOPE!
2 Corinthians 6:2b (NIV) I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Revelation 22:17 (NIV) The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
Isaiah 55:1-3 (NIV) "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.
