DOUG BATCHELOR: SO, WHAT'S
THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH?
00:00:08.97\00:00:11.77
"GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS"
LISTS THE OFFICIAL WINNER
00:00:11.81\00:00:13.91
AS DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.
00:00:13.94\00:00:16.38
ON JULY 10, 1913, THE
MERCURY THERE SKYROCKETED
00:00:16.41\00:00:20.72
TO 134 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
00:00:20.75\00:00:23.69
SOME PARTS OF DEATH VALLEY
HAVE AN AVERAGE DAILY HIGH
00:00:23.72\00:00:27.09
OF 115 DEGREES, BUT
THE GROUND TEMPERATURE
00:00:27.12\00:00:30.46
CAN GET EVEN MORE INTENSE.
00:00:30.49\00:00:32.83
IN 1972, AT A PLACE CALLED
FURNACE CREEK, IT REGISTERED
00:00:32.86\00:00:36.60
A BLISTERING 201 DEGREES,
THE HOTTEST SURFACE TEMPERATURE
00:00:36.63\00:00:41.07
EVER RECORDED ON THE PLANET.
00:00:41.10\00:00:43.00
ACTUALLY, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE
00:00:43.04\00:00:45.71
DESERTS AROUND THE WORLD THAT
GET EVEN HOTTER, BUT MOST HUMANS
00:00:45.74\00:00:49.54
DON'T INHABIT THE HOTTEST
PLACES ON EARTH, SO THERE ARE NO
00:00:49.58\00:00:52.48
WEATHER STATIONS OR SENSORS TO
RECORD THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES.
00:00:52.51\00:00:55.65
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
THE ULTIMATE GLOBAL WARMING
00:00:56.32\00:00:59.02
IS STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:00:59.05\00:01:00.89
IT'S THE TIME WHEN GOD WILL
CLEANSE THE WORLD WITH FIRE.
00:01:00.92\00:01:04.23
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "IN THAT
DAY, THE VERY ELEMENTS WILL MELT
00:01:04.26\00:01:07.86
WITH FERVENT HEAT, AND THE
EARTH AND THE THINGS THAT ARE
00:01:07.93\00:01:10.93
IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:01:10.97\00:01:12.93
SOUNDS SCARY? WELL,
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE.
00:01:12.97\00:01:16.20
TO FIND OUT MORE,
JOIN ME NOW AS WE EXPLORE
00:01:16.24\00:01:19.31
"THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT HELL."
00:01:19.34\00:01:21.58
>>THE MESSAGE FOR THIS MORNING
IS TITLED 'THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT
00:01:25.98\00:01:29.98
HELL - PART 1'. NOW
THIS IS A VERY RELEVANT
00:01:30.02\00:01:37.49
THING FOR US TO TALK ABOUT
BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS PRETTY
00:01:37.53\00:01:41.53
CLEAR THERE ARE ONLY TWO
CHOICES THAT EVERY HUMAN FACES.
00:01:41.56\00:01:47.80
THERE ARE TWO DESTINIES EVERYONE
AROUND YOU IS GOING TO EMBRACE.
00:01:47.84\00:01:52.34
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 20,
VERSE 15, "AND ANYONE NOT FOUND
00:01:52.37\00:01:56.71
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE."
00:01:56.75\00:02:03.05
THERE ARE TWO CHOICES - LIFE OR
DEATH - ETERNAL LIFE OR THE LAKE
00:02:03.08\00:02:10.33
OF FIRE,
SOMETIMES KNOWN AS HELL.
00:02:10.36\00:02:12.09
I ALWAYS FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD
SAYING THAT WORD IN CHURCH.
00:02:12.13\00:02:15.50
MOST PEOPLE DON'T USE THAT
WORD IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE,
00:02:15.53\00:02:18.70
BUT IT IS A BIBLICAL
WORD AND JUST APPRECIATE
00:02:18.73\00:02:20.97
THAT'S THE WAY I'M USING IT.
00:02:21.00\00:02:23.17
AND, KIND OF, THE COLLECTIVE
IDEA OF HELL IS THAT THERE'S
00:02:23.20\00:02:28.01
THIS MOLTEN PLACE, TYPICALLY
DOWN YONDER SOMEWHERE, WHERE THE
00:02:28.04\00:02:36.12
LOST GO AS SOON AS THEY DIE AND
THAT THEY BEGIN BURNING THERE
00:02:36.15\00:02:41.66
BUT THEY'RE ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS
AND THEY FEEL THE BURNING AND
00:02:41.69\00:02:47.00
THEY DON'T BURN FOR A SECOND
OR TWO, BUT THEY BURN IN THIS
00:02:47.03\00:02:50.80
MOLTEN FIRE AND SULPHUR AND
BRIMSTONE AGONIZING SECOND AFTER
00:02:50.83\00:02:56.77
SECOND AND MINUTE AFTER MINUTE
AND HOUR AFTER HOUR AND DAY
00:02:56.81\00:03:01.14
AFTER DAY AND WEEK AND
MONTH AND YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
00:03:01.18\00:03:04.68
MILLENNIUM AFTER MILLENNIUM.
00:03:04.71\00:03:06.21
ALL THAT TIME THEY'RE ROLLING
AND BLISTERING AND SHRIEKING AND
00:03:06.25\00:03:09.02
CRYING FOR MERCY AND MERCY NEVER
COMES AND AFTER A BILLION YEARS
00:03:09.05\00:03:13.99
GO BY THEY MANAGE TO SWIM TO THE
SURFACE OF THIS MOLTEN BRIMSTONE
00:03:14.02\00:03:18.06
AND THEY CALL 'LORD, HOW LONG?'
AND GOD SAYS, 'YOU'VE ONLY JUST
00:03:18.09\00:03:21.33
BEGUN.' AND HE PUSHES THEM UNDER
AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED.
00:03:21.36\00:03:26.70
YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED BY THE
00:03:26.74\00:03:30.94
TYPICAL BAPTIST AND
MANY EVANGELICALS ABOUT HELL.
00:03:30.97\00:03:34.64
SOME TRY TO SOFTEN IT A LITTLE
BIT AND THEY SIMPLY CALL IT
00:03:34.68\00:03:37.71
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.
00:03:37.75\00:03:40.05
BUT THEN YOU PIN THEM DOWN AND
SAY, 'WELL, WHAT ARE THESE LOST
00:03:40.08\00:03:42.32
SOULS EXPERIENCING?'
'WELL, THEY'RE BEING TORMENTED
00:03:42.35\00:03:46.65
DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND
EVER IN FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.'
00:03:46.69\00:03:50.76
THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULT
PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE
00:03:50.79\00:03:53.50
FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD
AND I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME,
00:03:53.53\00:03:56.70
SPECIFICALLY NEXT
WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:03:56.73\00:04:00.50
BUT IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT SOME OF
00:04:00.54\00:04:03.87
THE GOOD NEWS IS ON THIS SUBJECT
AND TRY AND CLEAR UP SOME OF
00:04:03.91\00:04:07.18
THESE MISUNDERSTANDINGS BECAUSE
THIS TYPICAL TRADITIONAL VIEW OF
00:04:07.21\00:04:11.25
HELL IS NOT WHAT WAS TAUGHT
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OR THE NEW
00:04:11.28\00:04:14.72
TESTAMENT OR
BELIEVED BY THE EARLY CHURCH.
00:04:14.75\00:04:17.15
IT HAS BEEN DISTORTED THROUGH
THE DARK AGES AND EXPLOITED BY
00:04:17.19\00:04:21.42
THE CHURCH TO
DRIVE PEOPLE BY FEAR.
00:04:21.46\00:04:26.06
MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
DRIVEN BY FEAR REGARDING THIS
00:04:26.09\00:04:29.20
SUBJECT AND IT DISTORTS THE
PICTURE OF GOD - IT PAINTS GOD
00:04:29.23\00:04:33.20
AS A SADIST. AND I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:33.23\00:04:37.14
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY
TEACHES ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
00:04:37.17\00:04:39.91
FIRST OF ALL, IS ANYBODY
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW?
00:04:39.94\00:04:42.61
WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE TEACH ABOUT THIS?
00:04:42.64\00:04:44.55
2 PETER - WE'LL HAVE SCRIPTURES
ON THE SCREEN, BUT I HOPE YOU'LL
00:04:44.58\00:04:47.22
ALSO WRITE THEM DOWN SO YOU'LL
HAVE AN OUTLINE IN YOUR HANDS.
00:04:47.25\00:04:51.69
2 PETER CHAPTER 2, VERSE
9 "...THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO
00:04:51.72\00:04:56.96
DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF
TEMPTATIONS AND TO RESERVE THE
00:04:56.99\00:05:01.30
UNJUST" - YOU'VE GOT TWO GROUPS:
THE GODLY AND THE UNJUST -
00:05:01.33\00:05:05.07
"UNDER PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY
OF JUDGMENT," - SO WHEN ARE THE
00:05:05.10\00:05:08.74
UNJUST PUNISHED?
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:05:08.77\00:05:12.57
THAT DAY IS NOT
THE DAY OF THEIR DEATH.
00:05:12.61\00:05:14.51
THERE IS A GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY COMING.
00:05:14.54\00:05:17.41
JOHN 12:48 JESUS SAID, "HE WHO
REJECTS ME, AND DOES NOT RECEIVE
00:05:17.45\00:05:22.05
MY WORDS, HAS THAT WHICH JUDGES
HIM - THE WORD THAT I HAVE
00:05:22.08\00:05:26.45
SPOKEN WILL JUDGE
HIM IN THE LAST DAY."
00:05:26.49\00:05:29.92
CHRIST IS LOOKING OFF INTO THE
FUTURE AT THAT DAY OF THE LORD -
00:05:29.96\00:05:33.40
THAT GREAT JUDGMENT DAY - AND HE
SAYS 'THAT IS THE DAY WHEN THEY
00:05:33.43\00:05:38.10
WILL BE JUDGED BY THE
WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN.'
00:05:38.13\00:05:40.27
THEY ARE NOT JUDGED YET.
00:05:40.30\00:05:41.90
THEY ARE NOT
RECEIVING THEIR REWARD YET.
00:05:41.94\00:05:45.41
AND THEN, IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT,
IT'S REALLY CLEAR WHEN YOU LOOK
00:05:45.44\00:05:48.64
AT THE PARABLE THAT JESUS TOLD
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 13, VERSE 40 -
00:05:48.68\00:05:53.08
DO YOU KNOW THE PARABLE OF THE
WHEAT AND THE TARES? HERE JESUS
00:05:53.11\00:05:57.55
TALKS ABOUT A MAN HAD A FIELD
AND SOME ENEMY CAME DURING THE
00:05:57.59\00:06:00.26
NIGHT AND HE SOWED THESE
TARES - TARES ARE LIKE A WEED.
00:06:00.29\00:06:03.56
HE SOWED THESE WEEDS IN AMONG
THE WHEAT AND IT ALL GREW UP AND
00:06:03.59\00:06:06.90
THE SERVANTS
SAID, 'WHAT SHALL WE DO?
00:06:06.93\00:06:08.40
SHALL WE PULL UP ALL THE WEEDS?'
AND THE MASTER SAID, 'NO, LET IT
00:06:08.43\00:06:12.13
GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST
AND AT THE HARVEST THEN WE'LL
00:06:12.17\00:06:15.64
GATHER THE TARES AND
BURN THEM IN BUNDLES AND WE'LL
00:06:15.67\00:06:18.04
GATHER THE WHEAT
AND PUT IT IN THE BARN.
00:06:18.07\00:06:20.84
AND SO JESUS, LATER,
INTERPRETING THAT PARABLE FOR
00:06:20.88\00:06:23.91
THE DISCIPLES SO THERE'S NO
MISUNDERSTANDING HE SAID - AND
00:06:23.95\00:06:27.42
THIS IS MATTHEW 13, VERSE
40, "THEREFORE AS THE TARES ARE
00:06:27.45\00:06:32.15
GATHERED AND BURNED IN
THE FIRE, SO IT WILL BE AT
00:06:32.19\00:06:36.02
THE END OF THIS AGE.
00:06:36.06\00:06:39.86
THE SON OF MAN WILL SEND OUT HIS
ANGELS," - WHEN JESUS COMES -
00:06:39.89\00:06:43.06
"AND THEY WILL GATHER OUT OF HIS
KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND,
00:06:43.10\00:06:45.83
AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS," - THE WICKED - THE
00:06:45.87\00:06:48.50
LOST - "AND WILL CAST
THEM INTO THE FURNACE OF FIRE.
00:06:48.54\00:06:51.44
THERE WILL BE WAILING
AND GNASHING OF TEETH."
00:06:51.47\00:06:55.31
ALRIGHT, WELL ONE THING WE DID
LEARN - THERE IS A FURNACE OF
00:06:55.34\00:06:58.08
FIRE BUT WE ALSO LEARNED THAT
THEY'RE NOT BURNING THERE YET
00:06:58.11\00:07:02.52
BECAUSE THE JUDGMENT
DAY HAS NOT HAPPENED.
00:07:02.55\00:07:04.42
THIS HARVEST HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. THE RESURRECTION OF THE
00:07:04.45\00:07:07.16
WICKED HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. IT IS STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:07:07.19\00:07:10.53
SO I HOPE THAT YOU FIND SOME
GOOD NEWS RIGHT THERE - THAT
00:07:10.56\00:07:13.63
NOBODY IS BURNING IN HELL RIGHT
NOW. SO WHERE ARE THE LOST NOW?
00:07:13.66\00:07:18.77
JESUS ANSWERS THAT IN JOHN 4,
VERSES 28 AND 29, "DO NOT MARVEL
00:07:18.80\00:07:23.30
AT THIS; FOR THE HOUR IS COMING"
- FUTURE TENSE - "IN WHICH ALL
00:07:23.34\00:07:27.98
WHO ARE IN THE GRAVES WILL HEAR
HIS VOICE AND COME FORTH -" -
00:07:28.01\00:07:32.71
THEY HAVEN'T COME FORTH YET
- THERE'S AN HOUR COMING WHEN
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.95
THEY'LL COME FORTH -
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE
00:07:34.98\00:07:37.45
RESURRECTION OF LIFE," - THAT'S
FIRST - DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:07:37.49\00:07:40.32
FIRST. ISN'T THAT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:07:40.36\00:07:42.59
- "AND THOSE WHO HAVE DONE
EVIL, TO THE RESURRECTION OF
00:07:42.62\00:07:44.53
CONDEMNATION." -
OR THE RESURRECTION OF
00:07:44.56\00:07:46.43
DAMNATION - THE RESURRECTION
OF THE LOST SPOKEN OF ALSO IN
00:07:46.46\00:07:51.03
DANIEL CHAPTER 12.
JESUS SAID IT'S IN THE FUTURE.
00:07:51.07\00:07:55.00
YOU'VE GOT A RESURRECTION OF THE
SAVED - THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:07:55.04\00:07:57.94
FIRST. THAT'S IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4.
00:07:57.97\00:08:00.68
AND THEN THERE'S THE
RESURRECTION OF THE LOST THAT
00:08:00.71\00:08:02.84
HAPPENS AT THE END OF
THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:08:02.88\00:08:05.01
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN REVELATION
20, 'THE REST OF THE DEAD DO NOT
00:08:05.05\00:08:08.55
LIVE UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS ARE FINISHED.'
00:08:08.58\00:08:11.05
IF THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST
- ALL THE DEAD WHO ARE SAVED
00:08:11.09\00:08:14.16
RISE FIRST - WHO ARE
THE REST OF THE DEAD?
00:08:14.19\00:08:16.76
THE DEAD WITHOUT
CHRIST - THE LOST.
00:08:16.79\00:08:20.36
THAT'S THE RESURRECTION OF
DAMNATION OR CONDEMNATION THE
00:08:20.40\00:08:24.53
BIBLE SPEAKS OF - IT'S IN THE
FUTURE - HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:08:24.57\00:08:29.27
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON WITH THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE END RESULT
00:08:29.30\00:08:33.07
OF SIN? WELL, LET'S LET
THE BIBLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
00:08:33.11\00:08:38.71
JAMES 1:15, "...SIN, WHEN IT IS
FINISHED, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH."
00:08:38.75\00:08:46.19
SO THERE ARE TWO REWARDS
THAT ARE OFFERED: LIFE OR DEATH.
00:08:46.22\00:08:51.23
MOSES SAID, BEFORE THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL ENTERED THE PROMISED
00:08:51.26\00:08:53.53
LAND THERE IN DEUTERONOMY
IN CHAPTER 30, HE SAID, 'I SET
00:08:53.56\00:08:57.60
BEFORE YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND
GOOD AND BLESSING OR DEATH AND
00:08:57.63\00:09:00.60
EVIL AND CURSING.' THE
OPTIONS FOR EVERYBODY IS IF
00:09:00.64\00:09:04.07
YOUR NAME IS IN THE
BOOK OF LIFE YOU LIVE.
00:09:04.11\00:09:06.11
IF YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE BOOK
OF LIFE YOU WILL BE PUNISHED AND
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.01
YOU DIE. THE END
RESULT OF SIN IS NOT
00:09:10.05\00:09:13.42
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE.
IT DOESN'T SAY THAT IN THE
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.85
BIBLE. THE BIBLE
DOESN'T SAY ANYWHERE
00:09:15.88\00:09:18.25
THAT YOU'VE GOT
AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:18.29\00:09:20.62
I ALWAYS STOP AND I JUST ASK
ANYBODY - I MEAN, HERE WE'VE GOT
00:09:20.66\00:09:24.99
OH, SIX OR SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE,
SHOW ME ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE
00:09:25.03\00:09:28.40
THAT SAYS YOU
HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:28.43\00:09:31.27
GOD IS IMMORTAL, BUT IMMORTALITY
IS GIVEN AT THE RESURRECTION.
00:09:31.30\00:09:37.24
NOBODY NOW
POSSESSES IMMORTALITY.
00:09:37.27\00:09:39.21
MATTER OF FACT, OUR
BODIES ARE CALLED MORTAL BODIES.
00:09:39.24\00:09:42.08
WHEN JESUS COMES, THEN
THIS MORTAL PUTS ON IMMORTALITY.
00:09:42.11\00:09:46.51
JOHN 3:16 - ACTUALLY I THINK
I'VE GOT ONE IN ROMANS FIRST -
00:09:46.55\00:09:51.65
LET'S DO ROMANS 6:23.
"FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH,
00:09:51.69\00:09:57.09
BUT THE GIFT OF
GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE."
00:09:57.13\00:09:59.96
EVERYBODY HERE -
YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS.
00:10:00.00\00:10:02.83
AND I CAN PROMISE YOU SOMETHING:
EVERYBODY HERE WILL RECEIVE ONE
00:10:02.86\00:10:05.63
OF THOSE TWO OPTIONS. AND
WHAT ARE THOSE TWO OPTIONS?
00:10:05.67\00:10:11.01
DEATH - HE DOESN'T SAY 'THE
WAGES FOR SIN IS ETERNAL LIFE IN
00:10:11.04\00:10:14.48
THE FIRE.' HE SAYS,
'THE WAGES FOR SIN IS DEATH.'
00:10:14.51\00:10:18.38
THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE.
NOW, DID JESUS DIE FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:18.41\00:10:23.22
DID JESUS TAKE THE
PENALTY FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:23.25\00:10:26.69
DID JESUS JUST FALL OVER AND
DIE OR DID HE SUFFER AND DIE?
00:10:26.72\00:10:31.59
SO THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS NOT
JUST DEATH, THE ULTIMATE PENALTY
00:10:31.63\00:10:34.56
IS DEATH, BUT HE
SUFFERED AND DIED.
00:10:34.60\00:10:38.90
SO IF WE DO NOT EMBRACE
THE SACRIFICE JESUS MADE IN OUR
00:10:38.93\00:10:42.24
BEHALF, WE WILL ALSO SUFFER AND
DIE FOR OUR OWN SINS IF WE DO
00:10:42.27\00:10:47.84
NOT ACCEPT HIM
AS OUR REPLACEMENT.
00:10:47.88\00:10:52.58
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE SO FAR?
00:10:52.61\00:10:55.65
JOHN 3:16 - TWO OPTIONS - "FOR
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
00:10:55.68\00:11:00.62
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD
00:11:00.66\00:11:05.49
NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING
LIFE." THERE'S ONLY TWO OPTIONS.
00:11:05.53\00:11:11.90
ONE OPTION IS NOT
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE -
00:11:11.93\00:11:14.74
PERISH IS THE ABSENCE OF LIFE.
00:11:14.77\00:11:16.67
THEY'RE GOING TO
PERISH OR EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:11:16.71\00:11:20.14
JESUS MADE THAT CLEAR
RIGHT THERE IN JOHN 3:16.
00:11:20.18\00:11:23.28
OKAY, QUESTION #4: WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE WICKED IN HELLFIRE?
00:11:23.31\00:11:28.05
PSALM 37, VERSE 10 AND THEN I'M
ALSO GOING TO READ VERSE 20 -
00:11:28.08\00:11:32.32
YOU OUGHT TO
READ THE WHOLE PSALM.
00:11:32.35\00:11:33.86
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
WICKED IN HELLFIRE? HERE WE GO.
00:11:33.89\00:11:37.16
"FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE
WICKED SHALL NOT BE: YEAH, THOU
00:11:37.19\00:11:41.26
SHALT DILIGENTLY CONSIDER
HIS PLACE, AND IT SHALL NOT BE."
00:11:41.30\00:11:46.13
THEY'LL NOT BE. I MEAN, WHAT
OTHER TERM OR WORDS DO YOU USE
00:11:46.17\00:11:50.01
TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING CEASING
TO EXIST? THEY'LL NOT BE.
00:11:50.04\00:11:53.04
'THE WICKED SHALL PERISH
AND THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD
00:11:53.07\00:11:56.14
WILL CONSUME INTO
SMOKE. THEY WILL CONSUME AWAY.'
00:11:56.18\00:11:59.61
AND I'VE HEARD SOME PASTORS
SAY, 'WELL, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
00:11:59.65\00:12:01.92
THE BODIES ALL BURN UP BUT THE
SOUL CONTINUES TO BURN FOREVER.'
00:12:01.95\00:12:06.49
OH, BUT JESUS SAID 'THE
SOUL THAT SINS IT WILL DIE.'
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.49
ACTUALLY, THAT'S IN EZEKIEL
- JESUS SAID, 'FEAR NOT HIM WHO
00:12:09.52\00:12:12.19
DESTROYS THE BODY'
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 10 -
00:12:12.23\00:12:14.56
'BUT CANNOT DESTROY THE SOUL.
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.20
RATHER, FEAR HIM WHO
DESTROYS SOUL AND BODY IN HELL.'
00:12:16.23\00:12:20.37
IT'S NOT JUST THE BODY THAT
BURNS UP - THE SOUL AND BODY.
00:12:20.40\00:12:23.91
MALACHI 4, VERSE 1 - THIS WAS
IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING - "'FOR
00:12:23.94\00:12:27.88
BEHOLD, THE DAY IS COMING,
BURNING LIKE AN OVEN, AND ALL
00:12:27.91\00:12:31.35
THE PROUD, YES, ALL WHO
DO WICKEDLY WILL BE STUBBLE.
00:12:31.38\00:12:35.38
AND THE DAY WHICH IS
COMING SHALL BURN THEM UP.'
00:12:35.42\00:12:38.09
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS, 'THAT
WILL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR
00:12:38.12\00:12:41.26
BRANCH.'" YOU THINK
ABOUT THE WORDS THAT
00:12:41.29\00:12:44.03
GOD IS USING HERE. LET
ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE AND
00:12:44.06\00:12:46.33
I'LL JUST TRY AND SUM
THIS THOUGHT UP FOR YOU.
00:12:46.36\00:12:48.90
REVELATION 21, VERSES 7 AND 8,
"HE WHO OVERCOMES WILL INHERIT
00:12:48.93\00:12:53.80
ALL THINGS" - THERE'S THE GOOD
NEWS, RIGHT? - "AND I WILL BE
00:12:53.84\00:12:56.97
HIS GOD AND HE WILL BE
MY SON." - SO ON ONE SIDE
00:12:57.01\00:12:59.94
YOU'VE GOT A SHEEP -
THEY GET THE EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:13:00.04\00:13:03.95
THEY'RE SAVED. - "BUT" -
00:13:03.98\00:13:06.08
THIS IS VERSE 8 -
REVELATION 21, VERSE 8 -
00:13:06.11\00:13:08.92
"THE COWARDLY, UNBELIEVING,
ABOMINABLE, MURDERERS, SEXUALLY
00:13:08.95\00:13:14.79
IMMORAL, SORCERERS, IDOLATERS,
AND ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR
00:13:14.82\00:13:19.16
PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHICH
00:13:19.19\00:13:23.26
IS THE SECOND DEATH."
00:13:23.30\00:13:26.27
REVELATION 20, VERSE 9 -
WHERE IS HELL GOING TO BURN?
00:13:26.30\00:13:30.81
AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM
WHEN SATAN MARSHALS THOSE LOST
00:13:30.84\00:13:34.48
FORCES AGAINST THE CITY OF GOD
IT SAYS, "THEY WENT UP ON THE
00:13:34.51\00:13:37.45
BREADTH OF THE EARTH AND
SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF THE
00:13:37.48\00:13:39.95
SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY.
00:13:39.98\00:13:41.95
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT
OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:13:41.98\00:13:45.32
THAT FIRE THAT RAINS DOWN
SURROUNDING THE NEW JERUSALEM
00:13:45.35\00:13:48.72
FORMS A LAKE OF FIRE. IT IS
ON THE EARTH. SO WHERE IS HELL
00:13:48.76\00:13:52.46
GOING TO BURN? ON THE EARTH.
I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MORE VERSES.
00:13:52.49\00:13:56.87
PROVERBS 11, VERSE 31, "...THE
RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE RECOMPENSED
00:13:56.90\00:14:01.40
IN THE EARTH: MUCH MORE
THE WICKED AND THE SINNER."
00:14:01.44\00:14:05.14
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO GET THEIR
REWARD IN THE VERY PLACE OF THE
00:14:05.17\00:14:08.18
CRIME - RIGHT
HERE ON THE PLANET.
00:14:08.21\00:14:10.55
2 PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10,
"BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:14:10.58\00:14:14.35
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, IN
WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS AWAY
00:14:14.38\00:14:17.32
WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE
ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH FERVENT
00:14:17.35\00:14:20.89
HEAT; BOTH THE EARTH
AND THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT
00:14:20.92\00:14:23.36
WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:14:23.39\00:14:25.36
SO IT'S ALWAYS FOCUSED - THAT
JUDGMENT IS RIGHT DOWN HERE.
00:14:25.39\00:14:28.60
HELL IS NOT A CAVERN OFF IN THE
COSMOS SOMEWHERE - THAT'S FULL
00:14:28.63\00:14:33.74
OF MOLTEN FIRE - HELL IS
NOT A CAVERN DOWN IN THE EARTH
00:14:33.77\00:14:38.14
SOMEWHERE, IT'S ON
THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH.
00:14:38.17\00:14:41.58
DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT WE'RE
00:14:42.94\00:14:45.48
GOING TO RETURN FOR THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:14:45.51\00:14:49.25
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED: IF
GOD IS LOVE, IF GOD IS GOOD,
00:14:49.28\00:14:53.92
WHY WOULD HE MAKE A DEVIL?
00:14:53.96\00:14:55.72
AND FURTHERMORE, WHY WOULD GOD
WANT SATAN TO BE THE SUPERVISOR
00:14:55.76\00:14:59.83
OF HELL, MEASURING OUT
HIS PUNISHMENT ON THE SINNERS?
00:14:59.86\00:15:04.40
MILLIONS THE WORLD OVER BELIEVE
THESE THINGS, BUT WHAT IF I TOLD
00:15:04.43\00:15:08.60
YOU THAT YOU WON'T FIND THIS
TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:15:08.64\00:15:12.77
WOULD THAT CHANGE
YOUR PICTURE OF GOD?
00:15:12.81\00:15:15.14
THAT'S WHY I HOPE
YOU'LL LET ME SEND YOU
00:15:15.18\00:15:16.91
A BEAUTIFULLY
ILLUSTRATED STUDY GUIDE CALLED,
00:15:16.95\00:15:19.78
"IS THE DEVIL
IN CHARGE OF HELL?"
00:15:19.81\00:15:22.15
THIS POWERFUL BIBLE
RESOURCE WILL ANSWER SOME BIG
00:15:22.18\00:15:24.92
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVIL.
00:15:24.95\00:15:26.72
IT'LL EXPLAIN WHERE THE
SCRIPTURES SAY HE CAME FROM,
00:15:26.76\00:15:29.42
AND WHY GOD DOESN'T JUST
SNUFF HIM OUT OF EXISTENCE.

00:15:41.77\00:15:43.51
WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND
00:15:44.04\00:15:46.61
LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:46.64\00:15:49.34
>>IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
BECAUSE ONCE YOU KNOW WHERE HELL
00:15:51.05\00:15:54.55
IS, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT FOR
GOD TO MAKE A NEW EARTH ON THIS
00:15:54.58\00:15:58.05
PLANET THE TWO
CAN'T COEXIST TOGETHER.
00:15:58.09\00:16:01.09
THAT MEANS THE
FIRES OF HELL MUST GO OUT.
00:16:01.12\00:16:05.43
NUMBER 6 - THIS IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS THAT I
00:16:05.46\00:16:09.86
THINK IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS.
HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED SUFFER
00:16:09.90\00:16:13.87
IN THE FIRE? WELL,
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:16:13.90\00:16:16.67
GIVE US AN EXACT TIME BECAUSE
IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON.
00:16:16.71\00:16:21.64
REVELATION 22:12, JESUS SAID
- LAST CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE -
00:16:21.68\00:16:26.78
"AND, BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY;
AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO
00:16:26.82\00:16:30.62
GIVE EVERY MAN
ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE."
00:16:30.65\00:16:34.76
EVERYONE IS REWARDED ACCORDING
TO HIS WORK - MEANING THERE ARE
00:16:34.79\00:16:38.76
VARYING WORKS OUT THERE
AND THERE ARE VARYING REWARDS.
00:16:38.79\00:16:42.20
IF EVERYBODY BURNS ETERNALLY
THEN EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME
00:16:42.23\00:16:45.73
REWARD. HOW CAN THERE BE
A VARIATION? 'WELL, SOME -
00:16:45.77\00:16:50.37
IT'S HOTTER FIRE THAN FOR THE
OTHERS.' WOULD BE THE ANSWER.
00:16:50.41\00:16:53.68
COME ON, IF YOU GET EVERLASTING
FIRE AND I GET EVERLASTING FIRE
00:16:53.71\00:16:56.38
- AND JUST THINK ABOUT HOW
UNJUST THAT WOULD BE THAT YOU'VE
00:16:56.41\00:17:01.05
GOT, YOU KNOW, THINK OF THE
BIGGEST FIEND YOU CAN THINK OF
00:17:01.08\00:17:03.82
FROM HISTORY - POL POT OR
ADOLPH HITLER - PICK YOUR FIEND.
00:17:03.85\00:17:07.32
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
STALIN KILLED MORE THAN HITLER.
00:17:07.36\00:17:10.79
PICK YOUR BIGGEST FIEND THAT
YOU FIGURE IS LOST AND ON THE
00:17:10.83\00:17:13.76
JUDGMENT DAY GOD SAYS,
'LOST - LAKE OF FIRE FOR YOU.'
00:17:13.80\00:17:19.47
AND THE ANGELS TOSS HIM OFF IN
THE MOLTEN LAKE OF FIRE AND THEN
00:17:19.50\00:17:22.20
YOU'VE GOT THAT TEENAGER. HE'S
PAST THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY -
00:17:22.24\00:17:27.41
HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER
BUT HE REJECTS GOD - TAKES HIS
00:17:27.44\00:17:33.35
OWN LIFE AND THE LORD SAYS,
'SORRY, YOU CAN'T BE SAVED.
00:17:33.38\00:17:39.42
YOU CAN GO BURN FOREVER
RIGHT NEXT TO ADOLPH OR STALIN.'
00:17:39.45\00:17:42.69
IS THAT JUSTICE? NO,
I JUST - IT ABSOLUTELY
00:17:42.72\00:17:47.50
VIOLATES OUR REASON.
WELL, THE BIBLE IS CLEAR.
00:17:47.50\00:17:51.13
IT SAYS THERE ARE
VARYING DEGREES OF PUNISHMENT.
00:17:51.17\00:17:53.27
AND LET ME GIVE YOU A
FEW MORE VERSES ON THAT.
00:17:53.30\00:17:55.20
MATTHEW 10:28, "AND FEAR NOT
THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT
00:17:55.24\00:17:59.64
ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL:"
- I THINK I QUOTED THIS ALREADY
00:17:59.67\00:18:02.64
- "BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH
IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND
00:18:02.68\00:18:06.58
BODY IN HELL." SO IN
HELL THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED.
00:18:06.61\00:18:09.78
MATTHEW 16, "...HE'LL REWARD
EVERY MAN" - 16:27 - "ACCORDING
00:18:09.82\00:18:16.12
TO HIS WORKS." EVERYBODY.
THEN AGAIN, WE'RE SAVED BY WHAT?
00:18:16.16\00:18:20.60
WORKS OR FAITH? WE'RE SAVED
BY FAITH AND GRACE BUT WORKS ARE
00:18:20.63\00:18:24.73
THE ONLY THING THAT'S USED
IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:18:24.77\00:18:27.90
WILL THE FIRE EVENTUALLY GO OUT?
ISAIAH 47:14, IT SAYS, "BEHOLD,
00:18:27.94\00:18:34.54
THEY SHALL BE AS STUBBLE,
THE FIRE SHALL BURN THEM;" -
00:18:34.58\00:18:38.15
SPEAKING OF THE WICKED - "THEY
SHALL NOT DELIVER THEMSELVES
00:18:38.18\00:18:41.28
FROM THE POWER OF THE FLAME; IT
SHALL NOT BE A COAL TO BE WARMED
00:18:41.32\00:18:45.82
BY, NOR A FIRE TO SIT
BEFORE." NOT EVEN A COAL LEFT.
00:18:45.85\00:18:50.56
MALACHI 4:3 MAKES IT PRETTY
CLEAR, "'YOU SHALL TRAMPLE THE
00:18:50.59\00:18:53.86
WICKED, FOR THEY SHALL BE ASHES
UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET ON
00:18:53.90\00:18:56.83
THE DAY THAT I DO
THIS,' SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS."
00:18:56.87\00:18:59.00
SO 'BLESSED ARE THE MEEK,
THEY WILL INHERIT THE EARTH.'
00:18:59.03\00:19:01.74
WE GO FORTH FROM THE NEW
JERUSALEM AFTER THE JUDGEMENT OF
00:19:01.77\00:19:03.97
THE WICKED. THEY'VE ALL
BEEN BURNED, INCLUDING THE DEVIL
00:19:04.01\00:19:06.04
AND HIS ANGELS,
ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE.
00:19:06.07\00:19:08.24
AND IF ANYBODY DESERVES
TO BURN FOREVER, WHO IS IT?
00:19:08.28\00:19:11.45
IT'D BE LUCIFER.
00:19:11.48\00:19:13.75
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS IN EZEKIEL,
'I WILL BRING FORTH A FIRE FROM
00:19:13.78\00:19:16.89
THE MIDST OF THEE AND IT WILL
DEVOUR THEE AND IT WILL BRING
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.36
THEE TO ASHES ON THE EARTH
IN THE SIGHT OF THEM THAT BEHOLD
00:19:20.39\00:19:23.16
THEE. THOU SHALT BE A TERROR AND
NEVER SHALT THOU BE ANYMORE.'
00:19:23.19\00:19:27.60
NEVER SHALT THOU BE.
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY
00:19:27.66\00:19:29.63
ABOUT HITLER ESCAPING FROM
PRISON - LIKE NAPOLEON BRIEFLY
00:19:29.66\00:19:34.04
DID - AND ANOTHER
REBELLION RISING UP.
00:19:34.07\00:19:37.71
HE IS GOING TO BE
PERMANENTLY DEALT WITH.
00:19:37.74\00:19:40.48
HE WILL BURN LONGER THAN ANYONE
ELSE - PROBABLY DAY AND NIGHT.
00:19:40.51\00:19:43.35
AND I'LL EXPLAIN THOSE
VERSES IN OUR NEXT STUDY.
00:19:43.38\00:19:47.58
AGAIN, REVELATION 21, VERSES
4 AND 5, "AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY
00:19:47.62\00:19:52.42
EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES;
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH," -
00:19:52.45\00:19:56.62
NOTICE - "NOR SORROW, NOR
CRYING." HE DOESN'T SAY NO MORE
00:19:56.66\00:20:01.40
CRYING AMONG THE SAVED, HE'S
TALKING ABOUT A WORLD MADE NEW -
00:20:01.43\00:20:05.03
A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH -
NO MORE CRYING - NO MORE CRYING
00:20:05.07\00:20:07.97
ANYWHERE. "THERE
SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN."
00:20:08.00\00:20:11.37
HOW CAN YOU HAVE THIS VAST
WAREHOUSE FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO
00:20:11.41\00:20:17.41
ARE SCREAMING AND SHRIEKING
AND GOD SAYING 'GOOD NEWS.
00:20:17.45\00:20:20.35
THERE'S NO MORE
PAIN.' WELL, THERE IS PAIN.
00:20:20.38\00:20:24.09
IF, THEORETICALLY, THE MAJORITY
OF THE WORLD IS LOST AND IF
00:20:24.12\00:20:27.52
YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLIED BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITHING AND
00:20:27.56\00:20:30.86
SHRIEKING IN MOLTEN FIRE FOR
ETERNITY, FOR GOD TO SAY, 'GOOD
00:20:30.89\00:20:34.93
NEWS, THERE'S NO MORE PAIN.'
AND WOULDN'T WE HAVE TO ALL BE
00:20:34.96\00:20:38.57
BRAINWASHED AND NOT REMEMBER ANY
OF THE PEOPLE WE KNEW IN THIS
00:20:38.60\00:20:41.17
LIFE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT?
AND THEN WE'D JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:20:41.20\00:20:45.67
GOD'S GOING TO BRAINWASH US LIKE
THAT SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
00:20:45.71\00:20:47.84
GOING ON - I WISH
HE'D DO IT NOW, RIGHT?
00:20:47.88\00:20:52.21
JUST MAKE ME A SAINT RIGHT NOW
AND MAKE ME OBLIVIOUS TO ALL THE
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.78
SUFFERING RIGHT NOW. BUT
HE'S NOT. WE'RE GOING TO KNOW.
00:20:54.82\00:21:00.06
THAT'S WHY HE'S GOT TO DRY AWAY
TEARS BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO
00:21:00.09\00:21:02.26
BE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST AND
THEY'RE PUNISHED BUT THEY'RE
00:21:02.29\00:21:07.96
GOING TO BE PUT
OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:21:08.00\00:21:09.46
GOD IS GOING TO COMFORT
US BY SAYING, 'GOOD NEWS.
00:21:09.50\00:21:11.73
NO MORE PAIN. THEY'RE
NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE.'
00:21:11.77\00:21:15.90
THEY ARE ETERNALLY
SEPARATED FROM GOD, YES.
00:21:15.94\00:21:18.54
THEY ARE DESTROYED WITH
ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, YES.
00:21:18.57\00:21:21.48
THE FIRE THAT BURNS THEM IS
AN ETERNAL FIRE - THEY ARE BURNT
00:21:21.51\00:21:23.88
FOREVER - GONE - BUT
THEY'RE NOT STILL BURNING.
00:21:23.91\00:21:32.69
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED
00:21:32.72\00:21:36.79
THERE'S A STORY IN THE BIBLE
THAT TELLS US EXACTLY HOW IT'S
00:21:36.83\00:21:38.83
GOING TO END.
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.20
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THE STORY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH?
00:21:40.23\00:21:45.07
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THERE
THAT - IN GENESIS 19:24 - I'LL
00:21:45.10\00:21:53.91
NEVER FORGET, WHEN I WAS 16
YEARS OLD I LIVED ON A SAILBOAT
00:21:53.94\00:21:58.51
AND WE SAILED AROUND THE
MEDITERRANEAN AND ONE OF THE
00:21:58.55\00:22:00.52
PLACES THEY TOOK US
WAS THE RUINS OF POMPEII.
00:22:00.55\00:22:05.12
THERE, NOT FAR FROM THE FOOT OF
MOUNT VESUVIUS, THE VOLCANO BLEW
00:22:05.15\00:22:09.02
UP IN ABOUT 79 A.D. AND IT
SHOWERED THE CITIES OF POMPEII
00:22:09.06\00:22:15.00
AND HERCULANEUM
WITH ASHES AND BRIMSTONE.
00:22:15.03\00:22:17.50
AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ESCAPED.
PLINY THE ELDER, I THINK, TALKED
00:22:17.53\00:22:22.50
ABOUT IT IN A LETTER TO HIS
COUSIN AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE
00:22:22.54\00:22:26.51
ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT TO THE
WATER AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY
00:22:26.54\00:22:28.58
ABLE TO ESCAPE THE CLOUD OF
GASES AND ASH THAT CAME DOWN AND
00:22:28.61\00:22:32.71
SO MANY PEOPLE IN THAT - IT
WAS THE LAS VEGAS OF THE ROMAN
00:22:32.75\00:22:35.25
EMPIRE BACK THEN. YOU
CAN TELL FROM THE FRESCOS ON
00:22:35.28\00:22:38.19
THE WALLS - THEY'VE GOT ORGIES
PAINTED ON THE WALLS AND BASIC
00:22:38.22\00:22:41.26
PORNOGRAPHY THAT
SURVIVED. THEY FOUND IT IN 1874.
00:22:41.29\00:22:45.19
IT HAD BEEN BURIED UNDER 20
FEET OF ASH AND THEY'VE BEEN
00:22:45.23\00:22:47.86
EXCAVATING IT EVER SINCE.
IT'S NOT EVEN ALL EXCAVATED YET.
00:22:47.93\00:22:51.47
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN THEY CAME
TO A CAVITY AND THEY THOUGHT,
00:22:51.50\00:22:55.20
WAIT A SECOND, THERE WAS
SOMETHING IN HERE AND SO THEY'D
00:22:55.24\00:22:57.97
MIX UP PLASTER OF PARIS AND
THEY'D POUR IT IN AND THEY'D LET
00:22:58.01\00:23:01.08
IT DRY AND THEN THEY'D TAKE AWAY
THE ASH AND THEY FOUND WHAT WAS
00:23:01.11\00:23:03.75
IN THERE AND THESE ARE SOME
OF THE FORMS THAT THEY FOUND.
00:23:03.78\00:23:06.55
THESE GHOSTLY SHAPES OF PEOPLE
- REAL PEOPLE WHO LIVED - THAT
00:23:06.58\00:23:11.12
WERE BASICALLY INCINERATED -
THEY DIED BUT IT LEFT A VACUUM
00:23:11.15\00:23:15.06
ONCE THEIR BODIES
DECOMPOSED IN THAT CHAMBER.
00:23:15.09\00:23:18.99
AND IT WAS JUST AN AWFUL
DESTRUCTION. FIRE RAINED FROM
00:23:19.03\00:23:24.33
HEAVEN, YOU MIGHT SAY, AND BURNT
THE CITY OF POMPEII. THAT MADE
00:23:24.37\00:23:27.24
A PRETTY DEEP IMPRESSION ON
ME WHEN I SAW THAT AS A TEENAGER
00:23:27.27\00:23:31.94
AND I KIND OF WAS WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT MY FUTURE WAS.
00:23:31.97\00:23:36.71
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT THAT'S NOT THAT
00:23:36.75\00:23:38.08
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
HAPPENED TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:23:38.11\00:23:40.92
GENESIS 19:24, "THEN THE LORD
RAINED BRIMSTONE AND FIRE ON
00:23:40.95\00:23:46.32
SODOM AND GOMORRAH, FROM
THE LORD OUT OF THE HEAVENS."
00:23:46.35\00:23:50.83
AND JESUS, DESCRIBING THE
END OF THE WORLD IN LUKE CHAPTER
00:23:50.86\00:23:54.63
17:28-30, SAYS IT'S
GOING TO BE SIMILAR.
00:23:54.66\00:23:57.43
"LIKEWISE, AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF LOT: THEY ATE, THEY DRANK,
00:23:57.47\00:24:01.54
THEY BOUGHT, THEY SOLD, THEY
PLANTED, THEY BUILT; BUT ON THE
00:24:01.57\00:24:04.27
DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM
IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
00:24:04.31\00:24:07.84
FROM HEAVEN AND DESTROYED
THEM ALL. EVEN SO WILL IT BE
00:24:07.88\00:24:10.61
IN THE DAY WHEN THE
SON OF MAN IS REVEALED."
00:24:10.65\00:24:13.25
NOW HERE'S THE QUESTION: SODOM
AND GOMORRAH ARE SET FORTH AS AN
00:24:13.28\00:24:16.79
EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS FIRE IS.
ARE THEY STILL BURNING TODAY?
00:24:16.82\00:24:22.29
LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE: JUDE
1:7, "AS SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND
00:24:22.32\00:24:27.46
THE CITIES AROUND THEM
IN A SIMILAR MANNER...GIVEN
00:24:27.50\00:24:30.40
THEMSELVES OVER TO SEXUAL
IMMORALITY" - BOY, COULD IT BE
00:24:30.43\00:24:33.57
MUCH WORSE TODAY THAN IT
WAS THEN? COULD IT HAVE BEEN
00:24:33.60\00:24:37.14
MUCH WORSE THEN THAN IT
IS TODAY? COULD WE SHARE,
00:24:37.17\00:24:41.18
AS A WORLD, IN THEIR
FATES? - "HAVING GONE AFTER
00:24:41.21\00:24:45.45
STRANGE FLESH," - YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY MEAN BY STRANGE FLESH?
00:24:45.48\00:24:49.88
NOT EVEN NATURAL SEX - "ARE SET
FORTH AS AN EXAMPLE, SUFFERING
00:24:49.92\00:24:55.02
THE VENGEANCE OF - NOTICE THIS -
"SUFFERING" - THEY'RE AN EXAMPLE
00:24:55.06\00:24:58.03
OF "SUFFERING THE
VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE."
00:24:58.06\00:25:01.93
SODOM AND GOMORRAH WERE
BURNED UP WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:25:01.96\00:25:03.97
WHY DOES GOD
CALL IT ETERNAL FIRE?
00:25:04.00\00:25:05.93
BECAUSE WHAT THAT FIRE DID
TO THOSE CITIES WAS ETERNAL.
00:25:05.97\00:25:08.30
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT.
THEY ARE STILL RUINS TODAY.
00:25:08.34\00:25:13.31
ARE THEY STILL BURNING? NO.
00:25:13.34\00:25:16.14
AND AGAIN, 2 PETER, 2:6, "AND
TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND
00:25:16.18\00:25:19.41
GOMORRAH INTO ASHES, CONDEMNED
THEM TO DESTRUCTION, MAKING THEM
00:25:19.45\00:25:24.85
AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO
AFTERWARD WOULD LIVE UNGODLY;"
00:25:24.89\00:25:27.49
WHAT WAS THE EXAMPLE?
THEY WERE TURNED INTO ASHES.
00:25:27.52\00:25:30.09
THEY WERE BURNT
WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:25:30.13\00:25:31.59
THEY ARE NOT
STILL BURNING TODAY.
00:25:31.63\00:25:33.16
WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE WICKED.
00:25:33.19\00:25:35.00
GOD SAID, 'I'VE
GIVEN YOU EXHIBIT A'.
00:25:35.03\00:25:37.30
LET'S GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE GOOD NEWS
00:25:37.33\00:25:39.97
IS THAT WE'VE
LEARNED ABOUT HELL.
00:25:40.00\00:25:42.17
FIRST OF ALL, NO ONE IS
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW.
00:25:42.20\00:25:45.61
CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'?
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO
00:25:45.64\00:25:48.68
HAVE BEEN
TORMENTED BY THAT IDEA.
00:25:48.71\00:25:50.85
SECONDLY, NO ONE IS
GOING TO BURN IN HELL FOREVER.
00:25:50.88\00:25:55.28
THERE IS A LAKE OF FIRE.
FOR MY BAPTIST FRIENDS THAT MAY
00:25:55.32\00:25:57.59
BE WATCHING AND YOU THINK, 'YOU
FOLKS DON'T BELIEVE IN FIRE.
00:25:57.62\00:26:00.12
DON'T BELIEVE IN HELLFIRE.'
MY HELLFIRE IS HOTTER THAN YOUR
00:26:00.16\00:26:04.43
HELLFIRE BECAUSE MY HELLFIRE
BURNS THEM UP AND YOUR HELLFIRE
00:26:04.46\00:26:07.46
JUST ROASTS THEM FOREVER, RIGHT?
AND SO, YES, WE BELIEVE IN
00:26:07.50\00:26:11.80
HELLFIRE BUT IT
DOESN'T BURN FOREVER.
00:26:11.83\00:26:14.44
WE'VE SEEN THAT FROM THE BIBLE.
HELLFIRE WILL PUT SINNERS OUT OF
00:26:14.47\00:26:19.11
THEIR MISERY. YOU
EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
00:26:19.14\00:26:21.74
SINNERS ARE NOT HAPPY - LIKE AN
ANIMAL SUFFERING SOME INCURABLE
00:26:21.78\00:26:25.65
DISEASE - GOD IS GOING TO
PUT SINNERS OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:26:25.68\00:26:29.85
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS ACTUALLY
AN ACT OF LOVE AND MERCY.
00:26:29.88\00:26:32.79
EVEN IN THE WAY HE
DEALS WITH THE LOST.
00:26:32.82\00:26:35.82
HELLFIRE WILL
PURIFY THE UNIVERSE.
00:26:35.86\00:26:37.83
THERE'S NO MORE
GOING TO BE SIN OR SINNERS.
00:26:37.86\00:26:39.43
ALL THINGS ARE
PERFECT AND PURE AGAIN.
00:26:39.46\00:26:42.16
AND YOU DON'T NEED TO GO
THERE. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
00:26:42.20\00:26:47.87
YES, MOST OF THE WORLD'S GOING
TO MAKE THE WRONG DECISION BUT
00:26:47.90\00:26:50.14
THERE'S NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO BE
LOST BECAUSE THE SUFFERING THAT
00:26:50.17\00:26:53.64
JESUS TOOK UPON
HIMSELF WAS YOUR SUFFERING.
00:26:53.68\00:26:57.95
BUT YOU MUST EMBRACE THAT.
