We have already spoken about what the scripture says about Hell. Again
I say Hell is not the final place where unbelievers will spend
eternity.
Those
who have died last are now in a place called Hell.
Look
and read Luke 16:19-31. This is a story of a rich man and a beggar.
Both died, the Bible says. The beggar went straight to Heaven (verse
22), the rich man also died and went straight to Hell (verses 22,23)
Read
carefully now, Revelation 20: 1-15. This chapter tells us of the
great white throne judgment of almighty God. What does verse 13 say? "And
the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according
to their works. (14) And death and hell were cast into the lake
of fire. This is the second death. (15) And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Second Death)
Friends,
God did not create the Lake of Fire (Second Death) for human beings. It
was created for Satan and his fallen angels.
If
you go there, it will be because that's what you choose to do. You have
a free will. It's your decision if you go to this terrible place.
Revelation
21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is
the second death."
God
has a fire that burns but does not consume. Exodus 3:2 "And the angel
of the LORD appeared unto him (Moses) in a flame of fire out of the midst
of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and
the bush was not consumed."
I
rest my case. (John 3:16) (2 Peter 3:9)
