HELL IS REAL - TESTIMONIES OF HELL - HEAVEN AND HELL ARE REAL

HELL IS REAL - TESTIMONIES OF HELL




Bill Wiese had a powerful vision of Hell in the year 1998. He was given a commission by God to warn the world about the reality of Hell and how horrible it really is. His experience is not the only one of Hell. Many other people have seen Hell in near-death experiences. 

Mary K. Baxter was given visions of Hell in 1976. In Hell, Jesus appeared to her and revealed to her various things about the people in Hell and about the layout of Hell. 






Hell is a real place that all those who have rejected Jesus will go to. God does not want anyone to go to Hell. That is why He sent Jesus Christ to die on a cross to pay for our sins. And, most of all, God the Father wants us to know His love for us and to know Him as our God and Abba Father. Hell was created for the devil and his angels. But, because of sin passing down to mankind from Adam and Eve, we all have a sin nature and this sin nature makes it impossible for us to be good enough to go to Heaven. No sin can enter Heaven because sin would corrupt Heaven, and a sinner in Heaven would not enjoy the fact that all of Heaven is filled with God's glory because sin and God's glory are opposite.

Transhumanism is preparing the way for the Antichrist (an article for a YouTube video)




Transhumanism is preparing the way for the Antichrist (an article for a YouTube video)



Arthur C. Clarke, a famous science fiction author, said: "It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God but to create him." (Clarke) [See Genesis 3.]

Transhumanism is defined by oxforddictionaries.com as "The belief or theory that the human race can evolve … especially by means of science and technology." (Oxford.) (See Footnote below).

Another transhumanist, Marvin Minsky, wrote this statement, which appeared in the Scientific American magazine (in the October 1994 issue):

"Once we know what we need to do, our nanotechnologies should enable us to construct replacement bodies and brains …. [W]e could design our "mind-children" to think a million times faster than we do." (Minsky

Eliezer Yudkowsky, a transhumanist, said: "…transhumanism …. A million-year lifespan? If it’s possible, why not?" (Yudkowsky)

The Antichrist in the book of Revelation is called the beast. Being a human-like , but not fully human, he is called the beast. This beast has supernatural powers and can be called "superhuman." For instance, he can die but appear to rise back to life again. He also has power to subdue the whole earth so that people will say "...Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" (Revelation 13:3). No man or woman on earth will be like this creature.

The concept of a superhuman man matches with the beliefs of transhumanists. They are looking forward to a time when humans will supposedly engineer themselves into something "godlike" or supernatural.

An admonition from Heaven in the book "Scenes Beyond the Grave" (a vision of Marietta Davis)

An admonition from Heaven in the book "Scenes Beyond the Grave" (a vision of Marietta Davis) 


Scenes Beyond the Grave, a book first published in 1859, contains the story of a young woman named Marietta Davis, who had a vision of Heaven and Hell in the 1840s, when she was 25 years old. She went into a coma and experienced revelations from God that fit with Biblical doctrine and do not contradict the Bible. But, being a Berean is a must, so I encourage you to seek God about this book, if you want to read it. 
(Scenes Beyond the Grave.

Here is a link to a version that has modern English to make the story more readable.


The copyright has expired and this book is in the public domain. I have quoted an excerpt from Chapter 18 below. Marietta just got back from a visit to Hell where she saw some of her deceased friends suffering the torment of Hell because they did not trust in Jesus to be their Savior and Lord. 

A female angel speaks with Marietta and tells her the words in the quote below.


[Scenes Beyond the Grave

Chapter XVIII. [Chapter 18]

Marietta Arises to a Sphere of Harmony.]

[...]

"Learn from this, that he whose heart is not established in truth, whose nature is not  controlled by the law of holy love, is exposed to the attracting influence of evil; for there is no safety for the soul not born of Divine Good. He who hath not this principle, is in moral condition exposed to those influences which tend to outer darkness, and the abode of those existing in the sphere of deadly magnetism.

4. Why America cannot be restored, except on an individual level (Conclusion)

4.1. America has hardened its heart greatly against God.
4.2. America has defied God every time God has warned it.
4.3. America has chosen to cast God out of its life completely.
4.4. Destruction shall happen because of rebellion.

4.1. America has hardened its heart greatly against God.

The process of hardening its heart has been gradual over the course of many generations, but America has become very hardened by the 1970s when abortion was legalized. From 1930 up to 1967, the Hays Code was a standard that guide most Hollywood movies. Before that, movies often promoted blatant immorality since there were no guidelines for what could be shown.

3.1. Taking land from the Native Americans.
3.2. Oppressing the Jewish people.
3.3. Abortion.

3.5. Promoting Hollywood and promoting immorality around the world.
3.6. Having a form of godliness but denying the power of God.

3.1. Taking land from the Native Americans.

The original 13 colonies, which later became the United States of America, did not use guns and force to take their land from the Native Americans, for the most part. Most purchased their land from the Indians, but many of the colonies did not do right by the Indians.

2. Why America must be judged

Sadly, America must be judged for all its wickedness and rebellion. It once brought the Gospel to the nations and it once promoted God, but it has rejected God, and has rejected the Bible, and has rejected the Ten Commandments, God’s eternal laws of moral living. And, sadly, the Church has allowed sin into its midst, and has embraced worldly things, and has become lukewarm.

We Christians need to consider the words of Jesus when He spoke to His disciples about how one cannot love both God and worldly things (mammon). In Matthew 6:24, Jesus said: “[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

1. The Church in America is in need of repentance

There are many people who say that the Church in America will experience a revival and that this country will become great again. They give evidence that Donald Trump is a man for the hour who is supposed to build up this country and restore it to greatness, and wealth, and influence on the world stage. But, will this country really become great again? And, can the Church experience a revival without having true repentance first?

Transhumanism is preparing the way for the Antichrist of Revelation. (New World Order) (Agenda 21) (Last Days) (Tribulation) (The Mark)

(Transhumanism. Click for source.)
Transhumanism is preparing the way for the Antichrist of Revelation.


Arthur C. Clarke, a famous science fiction author, said: "It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God but to create him." (Clarke) [See Genesis 3.]

Transhumanism is defined by oxforddictionaries.com as "The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology." (Oxford.) (See Footnote below).

Eliezer Yudkowsky, a transhumanist, said: "There is nothing in transhumanism but the same common sense that underlies standard humanism, rigorously applied to cases outside our modern-day experience. A million-year lifespan? If it’s possible, why not?" (Yudkowsky) [End quote]

Another transhumanist, Marvin Minsky, wrote this statement, which appeared in the Scientific American magazine (in the October 1994 issue):

"Once we know what we need to do, our nanotechnologies should enable us to construct replacement bodies and brains that won't be constrained to work at the crawling pace of "real time." The events in our computer chips already happen millions of times faster than those in brain cells. Hence, we could design our "mind-children" to think a million times faster than we do." (Minsky[End quote]

The Antichrist in the book of Revelation is called the beast. He is worshiped by all who do not receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Being a man-like entity called the beast, this person is not fully human. He actually has power which can be called "superhuman." For instance, he can die but appear to rise back to life again. He also has power to subdue the whole earth so that people will say "...Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" (Revelation 13:3). No man or woman on earth will be like this creature. One might then say that he is a "superhuman."

The concept of a superhuman man matches with the beliefs of transhumanists. They are looking forward to a time when humans will supposedly engineer themselves into something "godlike" or supernatural. 

Now, humans did not create the beast, and they cannot create anything like this beast, but I propose that the Antichrist (which Revelation calls the beast) was a hybrid engineered by the devil (Satan) using human and fallen angel genes in a manner similar to what happened in Genesis 6. We will look at that more, later in this article.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Transhumanism Are Not Possible Because Intelligence Comes from God, the Creator (robots, AI, supercomputer, Transhumanism, mark of the beast)

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Transhumanism Are Not Possible Because Intelligence 
Comes from God, the Creator (robots, AI, supercomputer, mark of the 
beast)

This article has five sections:

1. Robots exist because mankind made them, but they cannot become human.

2. Robots cannot be as smart as man because only God can give intelligence.

3. Artificial Intelligence is impossible because intelligence resides within the soul, in the mind, and robots do not have souls.

4. Transhumanism is impossible because transhumanists believe that man can become a god.

5. Transhumanism is preparing the way for the Antichrist of Revelation.



1. Robots exist because mankind made them, but they cannot become human.

The most advanced robot with a human-like appearance is called "Sophia" from Hanson Robotics. It has the ability to translate speech into computer code which can be processed by its computer "brain". It can respond to questions by way of using a database of words and statements from which sentences can be matched to a person's question or statement to give the appearance that the robot is "thinking" and responding to human interaction.
(Sophia computer "brain". Click for source.)

Ben Goertzel, the designer of the robot's computer "brain", said that "Sophia" doesn't have the intelligence to form its witty responses (Gershgorn). Quartz (a news company) writes that Sophia "... can be programmed to run different code for different situations." (Gershgorn). The robot can match prewritten statements with words people speak to it (Gershgorn).

Seven Points About Abba Father God That We Believers Need to Hold Onto

(A waterfall and a stream. Pixabay. Free images.)
Seven Points About Abba Father God That We Believers Need to Hold Onto

1. Abba Father God loves us with everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and He is the One who sent Jesus to the earth to pay for our sins (John 6:38-40).

2. God the Father suffered to see the torment Jesus went through for the sins of the human race and to see the suffering of mankind. (John 10:30).

3. Jesus is the Judge of the human race. (John 5:22-23).

4. We need to realize that God the Father is for us (He desires what is best for us), and deeply loves us, and cares for us very deeply, since we are His dear children. (John 16:17Psalm 103:13).

5. We also need to remember that Jesus Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit (together, the Trinity of God) dwell within the spiritual heart of everyone who has made Jesus Christ his (or her) Savior and Lord. (John 14:23).

6. If we love Jesus, we will obey Him. See John 14:23 and Romans 13:8-10.

7. If we don't love Jesus, we won't obey Him. See John 14:24.

________________________________________


There are some things we believers need to hold onto (and I know this very much). 

(1.) One is that Abba Father God loves us with everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and He is the One who sent Jesus to the earth to pay for our sins (John 6:38-40). He is One God, as we Christians all know, (1 John 5:7 [KJV]) and He also suffered when Jesus died on the cross.
(Jesus turns water to wine. Click for source.)

Jeremiah 31:3

"[3] The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

In John 6:38-40 Jesus said: 

"[38.] For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

1 John 5:7 [KJV] says: "[7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." 

Jesus, in John 10:30, said: "I and my Father are one."

The Difference Between the Old Testament and the New Testament Saints (Hypergrace Heresy) (Lukewarm Church) (Apostasy) (False Teachers)



The Difference Between the Old Testament and the New Testament Saints



Many people have wondered why the Old Testament Hebrews were often struck down with plagues and judgments of God while wondering through the wilderness near Mount Sinai. 

The Old Testament people who rebelled against the Old Testament laws were destroyed in the wilderness of Sinai. They were destroyed because they were in the presence of God and were hardening themselves against God's teachings, which He gave to Moses. Their actions and words proved that their hearts were hardened against God and His ways.



The New Testament Completes the Old


The sacrificial laws, and the feast day laws, and the dietary laws, and other ceremonial laws were all fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:4Galatians 3:1-8). We Christians have no need to fulfill them since Christ did that for us, nailing all the ordinances, which were written against us, on the cross (Colossians 2:6-17). 

But, God does expect us to obey Him in the Ten Commandments, which are repeated throughout the New Testament, including in the epistles from Romans to Revelation (as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit). When we disobey Him, all we have to do is confess it to Abba Father God and repent. Asking Abba God to fulfill that unmet need is the next good thing to do

We have the promise of God Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:11. Jesus said: "[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"



The danger is not believing God's Holy Word.



THE SECRET MESSAGE IN NUMBERS 33. THE NAME MEANINGS FORM A CODE.


THE SECRET MESSAGE IN NUMBERS 33. THE NAME MEANINGS FORM A CODE.


The book of Numbers, chapter 33, has an ancient secret message. It is formed by placing the ancient name meanings together and by guidance from God. I did not come up with this. It was by God's leading I was able to see this message from the name meanings. But, if you are interested, I encourage you to seek God about this article to see what He would show you.

We will show you the name meanings based on Bible dictionary and concordance definitions. Then, we will show all the name meanings strung together in one paragraph (in the order they appear in the Holy Scripture), and we will show you a secret message from God.


Numbers 33:1-5

"[1] These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings out. 3. And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4. For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5. And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth." [End quote]

The place names continue from verse 5 down to verse 49, in Numbers chapter 33. These ancient names have meanings which are important since they are found in the Holy Scripture of God. You will see that there is a message God wants to bring forth through these name meanings. Let's look at the names in Numbers chapter 33, verses 5 through 16. We will start with Israel in verse 5. At the end of this list of name meanings, you will see the secret message.



NAMES FOUND IN NUMBERS 33:5-16



Name: Yisrael (Israel)
Strong's (Concordance) Number: 3478
Meaning: Acc. to Strong's, it means: "From sarah and 'el;..." Sarah is "A primitive root; to prevail -- have power (as a prince)." El refers to God.
Spiritual Meaning: (A prince who has power with God. {See Genesis 32:28.})

The Prophecies of Balaam About Israel and How They Also Apply to the Church

(God has Balaam bless Israel. Click for source.)
The Prophecies of Balaam About Israel and How They Also Apply to the Church

The Bible is full of riches and great treasure. (See Proverbs 3:13-15 and all of Proverbs 3). It is unfathomable wealth set before us and all we have to do is look to God to guide us in understanding and receiving it. The Holy Bible is full of awesome truth which will set us free from the devil's lies. The books of Proverbs and Psalms speak of how rich and priceless God's Word and God's wisdom are. God wants us to depend on Him to understand what we should do, and where we should go, and what God's Word is telling us. The Holy Spirit works through the Holy Bible to reveal awesome truths to us, if we want Him to. 

In the book of Numbers, chapters 23 and 24, we read how a prophet called Balaam was told to prophecy destruction and call curses down on Israel, but he sought what God would have him say, and Balaam's words were inspired by the Spirit of God. They speak of how God will bless those who trust in Him, and how God will bless the nation of Israel. We Christians are en-grafted into the blessings of Israel by the blood of Jesus (Romans 11). So, these promises also apply to us, as they do to the nation of Israel. We Christians can personalize these promises for us and even speak of them out loud. Of course, sin that we refuse to forsake will keep these promises from being fulfilled, until we repent of the sin.

Let's now look at Numbers chapter 23, verses 4 through 10.


______________


Scripture: Numbers 23:4-10


NUMBERS 23:4-10
(The Kingdom of Moab. Click for source.)

"[4.] And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 

5. And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

6. And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

The Nuclear Missile Threat in Hawaii Was a Warning from God (End Times) (Harbingers)


The Nuclear Missile Threat in Hawaii Was a Warning from God (End Times) (Harbinger)

In the early morning of January 13, 2018 cellphones in Hawaii got this warning message from the Emergency Alert System: "Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound To Hawaii. Seek Immediate Shelter. This Is Not A Drill." (See Works Cited: Dorell). Thousands of people abandoned their cars (Dorell), rushed to find some kind of shelter, or hunkered down in their homes. Terror seized them because none of them had any way of knowing that the warning wasn't for an immediate threat. 
Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound To Hawaii. Seek Immediate Shelter. This Is Not A Drill
(Nuclear missile threat warning. Click for source.)

What made the warning all the more terrifying is the recent escalation in the tension between the United States and North Korea. Experts believe that North Korea is very close to perfecting a nuclear weapon that can reach the continental U.S. (Ward).

Many people do not seem to be taking North Korea's nuclear threat seriously. People think that it is just a poor country with a weak military, but I believe that North Korea's threats and missile tests are harbingers for the U.S. Remember Jonathan Cahn's book The Harbinger? If you have not read it, you should. Cahn detailed the strange appearances of events during and after 9/11 (including strange statements by powerful politicians) which matched perfectly with ancient prophecies from the book of Isaiah. We will look at this later in this article. First, let's go back to the events surrounding the accidental nuclear missile alert in Hawaii.

Mary Byrne's 1905 English Translation of "Be Thou My Vision" Can Be Our Prayer to God or Our Statement of Faith

(Scenic Ireland. Click for source.)
Mary Byrne's 1905 English Translation of "Be Thou My Vision" 
Can Be Our Prayer to God or Our Statement of Faith


Mary Byrne's English translation (from 1905) of "Be Thou My Vision" is very powerful when you pray it to God. It was an old Irish song of worship from hundreds of years ago. We don't know who exactly wrote it. But, some think it could have been influenced by Patrick of Ireland, who God used to bring Christianity to that island nation. 

Worshiping God with music is very powerful and moving. I was thinking that we could read the text of "Be Thou My Vision" but substitute "You are" in place of Be thou" to make it a statement of praise. Or, we can leave it as "Be thou" and use it as a prayer to God. Personally, I like both options. 


Another way of looking at this is to use this old Irish hymn as both praise and prayer. We want God to be our vision, our focus, our delight. But, we can thank Him that He is our shelter and our Father, for instance. 

(Also, we could change "King of the seven heavens" to "High King of Heaven".)

We have Mary Byrne's translation below.
