THE TRUTH ABOUT HELL
The first point here is this: Hell is not a fun place.
In Matthew 25:41 Jesus said "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
He also says this about a rich man who had died and was condemned to hell
Luke 16:24 “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.
Macrhtur 16:15
Jesus reveals that there is real fire that devours the lost who are condemned there and if you know anything about fire you know that it’s not pure comfort at all. Besides the fire there are also worms that do not die. Mark 9:47-48 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.
I could go on and on and on, but the point I wanted to drive home is to get rid of all the lies that are spread through jokes in comedy skits and sitcoms portraying hell as a fun place where you'll be chilling with the devil. Example. Here is a real life testimony of someone who has a near death experience
My second point is this: Hell is a place of spiritual death. What do I mean? Well death simply means a separation. Hell is total separation from God and all his goodness. Or as I like to put it, it’s a separation from the life that is found in God. Think about it,, every good thing here on earth comes from God. The trees, the sunshine, the good food, your ability to taste good food, your pets, the breath of fresh air, sleep, rest, water; everything that gives life a flavor. It is written in the bible that
And I quote " Isaiah 6:3 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” and also in James 1:17 that Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The beauty of God’s creation, the way he has coloured the skies, all that splendor comes from him. But hell is a place devoid of all that goodness. No wonder Jesus says this those who are condemned to hell and i quote Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: If you end up youll experience eternal death, listen to this the breath or experience bill wiese no life in hell, dominic
Another person that has a hell testimony and I've studied her account for hours upon hours is Mary k baxter.
Mary K. Baxter stated and I quote “The ground was a light brown in color, without life, without grass or anything green. Everything was dead or dying.
Mary narration
The 3rd point is this: Hell is eternal.
In the final day of judgment , the word of God records that this will happen,
The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds. 14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
What you need to understand is that the current hell, which is referred to as hades is a temporary holding place, it's like a jail cell where one is held until they are judged and thrown into prison. AFter the final day of judgment, hades will be thrown in the lake of fire including those who were condemned by God.
When one dies right now for example, they either end up in heaven to be with the Lord or they end up in hades or the current hell. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
SHOW THE BIBLE VERSE TEXT HERE AND HIGHLIGHT THEM AS THE VIDEO MOVES FORWARD.
The eternal nature of hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
The bible is very clear that hell is eternal conscious torment , there is no annihilation, and there is no ceasing to exist.

I know that to this point in the video, what I have been saying and revealing has been terrifying. But it’s absolutely necessary to remind ourselves of this reality as well as to warn many. As I researched for this video I came across a quote that said something along the lines of, it would be unacceptable TO TALK ABOUT HELL without the revelation of how to avoid going there.
Which is true. There is a way that God has provided. And the only way one can escape hell, a place where there is God's righteous judgment towards all sin is through Jesus. In the book of numbers, While the children of Israel were in the wilderness they grumbled and complained speaking against God instead of trusting him despite all the displays of wonder they had seen the hand of God do. And God sent poisonous snakes in their midst as an act of judgment. Many died as a result of the snake bites. However after the Israelites asked Moses to intercede for them asking God to take the snakes away. God provided this solution; Numbers 21:8-9 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
And when Jesus appeared on the scene years later, he said this and this is just so incredible. He said;
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should [a]not perish but have eternal life.
What you need to realize here is this; there is a snake that has bitten each and every one of us, and that snake is called sin. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Highlight Romans 3:23 No human being without exceptions has not in one point or another broken the law of God. And not only that at some point in time we have broken the law of God and delighted it in.
But just as there's justice and retribution to breaking the law of the land here on earth, there is even greater and stricter retribution to breaking the law of God almighty– Who judges people in truth. It says in
Romans 2:6 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”
And also
Galatians 6;7 and also Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
The hope that we have here is Jesus as you heard in the verses I read just moments ago. Jesus is the one that saves us from the snake called sin that has bitten all of us. He is the one that was sent by God to free us from the slavery and the penalty of sin. Because God himself is righteous he does not overlook sin. You have to remember that if you are a sinner, you are up against a Holy and a righteous God. and you stand no chance at all because your sin which is ever present before you is crying out for your damnation. But that's when Jesus comes along to the rescue. The following explanation is just brilliant Paul washer and cliffe
The choice that you are faced with now is to repent and to put your faith in Jesus if you haven’t. The word of God says In John 3:16 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
Verse 18 also says and i quote
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son
There you have it. It’s In JESUS alone, him alone not plus another, It’s in Christ, the son of God where salvation from sin Lies. And when one chooses to repent and place their faith in Christ Jesus, or in simple terms to believe in Jesus Christ, God in turn through the faith the person repenting has put in Him, will move in the life of that person forgiving that person of their sins as well as redeeming them. WHY because God is pleased by faith. Faith is like a means of exchange through which a human being causes God to move in his or her life according to his will. Here is how Jesus plays the role in the forgiveness of a sinner paul washer
So make a conscious decision to believe in the fullness of the truth of the person Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and you will be saved. Believe in his death, burial and resurrection, believe that his shed blood on the cross is able to cleanse you of all sins because it is written in; HEBREWS 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Jesus died on the cross and he shed his blood there. The word of God says this prophetically in Isaiah 53:5 about Jesus and i read
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
Jesus' death on the cross was an atoning sacrifice, the propitiation for our sins because He who knew no sin was being ‘made sin’ on our behalf as written in (2 Cor 5:21). In (1 Pet 2:24) it is also written, that He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross,
When he hung on that tree He took our place as a condemned criminal. You and I were worthy of that death but he instead became our substitute. And Forgiveness is now possible. For It is written in his blood. The penalty has been paid, rejoice for the debt has been canceled. But the cross also means that unforgiven sin must now be punished – God can no longer overlook it and man can no longer excuse it in (Acts 17:30) it says that In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent
And hey When you come to Jesus and decide to put your faith in him this is not a 30 second moment of faith, where you’ll say a short prayer and then go back to your Christless life.
No! It's a complete change of course in your life to not only believe now but to also go on believing till the day you die or as i like to say one has to continue in faith in Jesus until they die and go to heaven. There is no turning back to your former wicked way of your Life.
God forbid that you disrespect the work of the cross like that.
