Revelation 10:6 and 14:11, “And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer ... And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
This
is an open letter from my soul to the world... PLEASE DON'T GO TO HELL!
A sad thought captivated my soul tonight as I was diligently working on my ministry. I must work hard day-and-night for Christ to sow the seed of the gospel, because my time is short, this life will soon come to an end. I'm in the final two-thirds of my life now! It dawned on me today that there will be NO TIME in the Lake Of Fire. I though about all the skeptics, unbelievers, mockers and critics who blaspheme God and reject the Bible. They boast against God and the Bible, failing to realize that they will soon be in eternity. Oh, how foolish they are!
Soon, upon the very moment that every Christ-rejecting unbeliever dies, they will immediately realize how foolish they were while on earth. I can see them looking back in shock, horror and disbelief that they've just discovered the awful truth that Hell is real, and the Bible is true, and they could have had eternal life and all the blessings of God JUST FOR THE TAKING! In hindsight they will realize how good God was to them, and how many opportunities the Lord gave them to get saved, and they will weep and gnash their teeth the Bible says in bitterness of soul, knowing that they could have enjoyed eternal bliss and provisions with the good Lord in Heaven.
Instead, they will spend forever in a place of torment, enduring excruciating mental and physical pain, and THERE WILL BE NO TIME. Think about it and it ought to frighten you, to be trapped in a horrible place of darkness, being burned with fire and everlasting bodily pain from the flames, smoke in your eyes and lungs, knowing that no one cares that you are there, and it will NEVER END!!! I tried to imagine myself in Hell, realizing that time didn't exist down there.
Even if you commit a horrible crime and are sentenced to life behind bars without parole, you can still look forward to death to end your misery, and count down the days until you turn 70 years old (which is the average lifespan of a man). My friend, please listen to me, in Hell there won't be anything to look forward to! Think about that. Even in the most horrifying of earthly situations, a person can always look forward to death. But in Hell, which the Bible calls the “Second Death” (Revelation 21:8). Please understand that spiritual death and the second death are NOT the same thing. We were all born spiritually dead by birth (physical birth), being alienated from God because of the sin-natured passed down from Adam's sin (Romans 5:12).
Of course, children are not punished by God for being sinners, because they have not yet reached the age of enlightenment (which varies from child to child). We're all born spiritually dead, void of God. That's why we all must be born-again, that is, having God's Holy Spirit come into our body to make us alive spiritually. Salvation is a miracle by God (John 1:12-14), which can only happen if you acknowledge that you are a guilt sinner in God eyes, and place your faith in the Son of God, Jesus, the Christ. It's that easy to be saved. God will save anyone who sincerest wants to be saved.
Luke 13:28, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
I spend a few hours earlier today listening to Alexander Scourby read the last part of the Old Testament and then read all the way through the end of Luke. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEARING ALEXANDER SCOURBY READ THE KING JAMES BIBLE ON A SINGLE DVD. I then spent a couple hours praying with the Lord about things that are bothering me, and also for our upcoming Missions Conference at our church. We have a missionary and his family coming from Africa and I'm greatly looking forward to hearing him preach the Word and share his work with us.
And I always pray for all my web visitors, friends and enemies alike, I love you all in the Lord. It is my constant prayer that God will work in the heart of my cyberspace enemies and that one day they'll get saved themselves, and then we can rejoice together in what Jesus Christ has done for all of us, who are so undeserving of His gifts of love, grace and eternal life.

I believe it is abundantly clear that we are now living in the end-times. The homosexualization of the world is strong evidence of the end-times. Shameful Lesbian And Sodomite Same-Sex Marriages Now Legal In New Zealand. The widespread perverting of the Bible with umpteen new versions is evidence of the end-times. The saber-rattling of the nations, and the Middle-East build-up is evidence of the end-times. The Lord foretold that sexual immorality would once again become epidemic in the end times, as it was in the days of Noah. Luke 17:27, “...They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day...”
Luke 17:26-27, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”
