Alot of people don't think Hell is real!

But Our Lord Jesus Christ is exact when he describes Hell. In some way, I believe people refuse to see the truth of the existance of hell as a way to continue sinning. They've managed to put the reality of Hell out of their minds.

So I came across this website that gives several descriptions on hell, including biblical verses.

Rev. 14:11: "The smoke of their TORMENT ascendeth up for EVER AND EVER: and they have NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT."

But unlike these 3 men, the true God, Jesus Christ rose from the dead and lives," it continues.

I thought it very interesting on how the WORD OF GOD is being spread. And Jesus says that when his word is preached to the entire world, that is when the end will come.

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 7-8. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, 8 and then the end will come.

God Bless!

"Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Matthew
Chapter 24 (Verse 1:8)

Jesus left the temple area and was going away, when his disciples approached him to point out the temple buildings.

He said to them in reply, "You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."

As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, 3 the disciples approached him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Jesus said to them in reply, "See that no one deceives you.

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many.

You will hear of wars 5 and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place.

All these are the beginning of the labor pains.

Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name.

And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another.

Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold.

But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, 8 and then the end will come.


Jesus Christ our Savior warns us time and time again of his coming. Why won't you open your eyes? The signs are not only written in the HOLY BIBLE, but they are happening now around us.

I came across a website www.wake-up.org

and threw browsing I found this page: http://www.wake-up.org/daystar/Ds1996/DEC96B.html

Your website states
2. God is fair. (Psalm 89:14) God does not torture people forever just because they lived in rebellion for a few years. Eternal punishment for 70 years of rebellion is not fair. A judicial system is fair if it upholds the principle that punishment is commensurate with the crime. (Matthew 7:1,2) Does God do less? No! Should King Saul be tortured with fire for billions of years when he only lived a mere 61 years? No. In fact, the Bible says that God will not torture the wicked for eternity, but instead reduce the wicked to ashes. (Malachi 4:3)

And though I agree that God is 100% fair, that unfortunately is the only statement I can agree with.

I sent the owner of the website an email, explaining to him that taking one verse from the bible and saying that hell is not eternal, is mixing God's words. And GOD doesn't mince words, he is direct-to the point.

Though, I never claimed to be a biblical scholar, I knew there was something very wrong with his statement. There are numerous versus throughout the bible indicating that HELL IS ETERNAL.

Here is just a few:
everlasting fire — Matthew18:8, 25:41
everlasting punishment — Matthew 25:46
everlasting chains — Jude 1:6
eternal damnation — Mark 3:29
eternal judgment — Hebrews 6:2
eternal fire — Jude 1:7
unquenchable fire — Matthew 3:12
the fire that never shall be quenched — Mark 9:43, 44, 45, 46, 48
fire unquenchable — Luke 3:17
mist of darkness is reserved for ever — 2 Peter 2:17
the blackness of darkness for ever — Jude 1:13


So knowing there was something wrong with www.wake-up.org statement, I asked my pastor what he thought the meaning of Malachi 4:3 was.

My pastor sent me this information.

In regards to Malachi 4:3, it is talking about the Second Advent of the Lord, especially the judgment aspect of it. After Christ appears in the clouds and the Church is rapture, then comes the Great Tribulation, where there’s going to be trouble all over the world. Towards the end of the Tribulation, when the Antichrist persecutes the Jewish people and Jesus descends to destroy the enemies of Israel and saves them, He brings them to the Millennium to reign over them for a thousand years. Israel is going to see what’s left of those that tried to destroy them, and they are actually going to walk over the ashes of the enemies and understand that it is the Lord, who is called “the Sun of righteousness, that arises with healing in his wings”

I have to say that I agree with my pastor 100%. And he also states; there is so much more Scriptures that helps put together all these prophecies of the coming events and one cannot isolate a scripture to know its meaning.

It is as I stated, you cannot pick one verse from the bible and proclaim to know what it means without putting together other versus and what our Savior Jesus Christ, states will happen during the end times and tribulation.

I have prayed to God to give me understanding of his words.

God Bless!

Satan's Hold on Earth.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, following deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,


This news clip is from CNN. To Read the whole clip CLICK HERE
WASHINGTON (AP) -- You better watch out. There is a new combatant in the Christmas wars.

Ads proclaiming, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on Washington buses starting next week and running through December.

The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.

In lifting lyrics from "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," the Washington-based group is wading into what has become a perennial debate over commercialism, religion in the public square and the meaning of Christmas.

"We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you," said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group.

"Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of nontheists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."

1 Timothy 4:1 Explains it all. In the latter days, satan and his demons will wreak havoc on Earth, with there entire mission being to take down as many souls with him into hell as he can. Satan knows he's already been defeated, because it has been deemed through GOD, that he will spend eternity in the lake of fire.

So this ad is just another way for him to spread his lies on Earth. Deny God's existence? God created man so how can one deny his existence? God gave his only son up to die in the cross for us, so we may be saved. Jesus has healed, done miracles and more importantly gave his life so we can be saved through the blood he shed.

I pretty much think ads and more denying that Christ exists will show up in abundance in the last days.

BUT it is up to us not to believe any of it, and to continue praying, praising, and waiting for our savior JESUS CHRIST.

GOD BLESS!

FAITH UNDER FIRE

But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
they will not overcome me.
They will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
Jeremiah 20:11

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:10-12

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
John 15:18-20

Christians brace for gang-rape, slaughter
India's believers may face bloodbath after another Hindu activist is shot

Christians who have been persecuted by Hindu militants in 12 Indian states could face more bloodshed after another Hindu activist, Rashtriya Swayamsevak, was reportedly shot dead by Maoists this week.

India's Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs in Orissa, 12 times more than official government claims of only 40 homicides. One official said he personally authorized "cremation of more than 200 bodies" found in jungles after Christians were blamed for the death of Hindu leader Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati on Aug. 24. They continue to be persecuted even though Maoists openly admitted to murdering Saraswati.

According to the Communist Party report, Hindu extremists may have used government machinery to "minimize the evidence and possibly destroy dead bodies."

Thousands of homes and churches have been destroyed, and tens of thousands of Christians have been forced to flee the violence. Mission Network News estimates 5,000 Christian homes have been burned, 200 churches ruined, 10,000 people remain in government-operated refugee camps, and tens of thousands are living in forests – many seriously wounded.

This is just one more sign to mankind, that our Lord Jesus Christ is near. Wake up, America. I beg with all of my heart Wake Up. Because the Lord's coming will be like a thief in the night, and many will be left on Earth to suffer the wraths of the tribulation. But it doesn't have to be that way. Except your Lord, Jesus Christ as your savior today.

God Bless.

Jesus Christ our savior said;

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with the hand mill; one will be taken and the other left." "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." (Matthew 24:36, 40 & 42)

Not even Jesus knows when the 2nd coming will be, for only the father God has that knowledge. I tell you though, with the signs and way this world is evolving into destruction that would be soon.

Jesus Christ died for our sins, and all of us as sinners must go down on our knees and repent. Forget about the economy, forget about the presidency. Put your life into Christ's hands before it is too late.

Hell is real...far too real. And trust me, there is no one alive on this earth that would want to go there.

Give JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR a shot! You'll see how much your life will change, and be filled with his love.

God Bless.
