DOUG BATCHELOR: SO, WHAT'S
THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH?
00:00:08.94\00:00:11.74
"GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS"
LISTS THE OFFICIAL WINNER
00:00:11.77\00:00:13.88
AS DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.
00:00:13.91\00:00:16.34
ON JULY 10, 1913, THE
MERCURY THERE SKYROCKETED
00:00:16.38\00:00:20.68
TO 134 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
00:00:20.72\00:00:23.65
SOME PARTS OF DEATH VALLEY
HAVE AN AVERAGE DAILY HIGH
00:00:23.69\00:00:27.06
OF 115 DEGREES, BUT
THE GROUND TEMPERATURE
00:00:27.09\00:00:30.43
CAN GET EVEN MORE INTENSE.
00:00:30.46\00:00:32.79
IN 1972, AT A PLACE CALLED
FURNACE CREEK, IT REGISTERED
00:00:32.83\00:00:36.56
A BLISTERING 201 DEGREES,
THE HOTTEST SURFACE TEMPERATURE
00:00:36.60\00:00:41.04
EVER RECORDED ON THE PLANET.
00:00:41.07\00:00:42.97
ACTUALLY, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE
00:00:43.00\00:00:45.67
DESERTS AROUND THE WORLD THAT
GET EVEN HOTTER, BUT MOST HUMANS
00:00:45.71\00:00:49.51
DON'T INHABIT THE HOTTEST
PLACES ON EARTH, SO THERE ARE NO
00:00:49.54\00:00:52.45
WEATHER STATIONS OR SENSORS TO
RECORD THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES.
00:00:52.48\00:00:55.62
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
THE ULTIMATE GLOBAL WARMING
00:00:56.28\00:00:58.99
IS STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:00:59.02\00:01:00.86
IT'S THE TIME WHEN GOD WILL
CLEANSE THE WORLD WITH FIRE.
00:01:00.89\00:01:04.19
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "IN THAT
DAY, THE VERY ELEMENTS WILL MELT
00:01:04.23\00:01:07.86
WITH FERVENT HEAT, AND THE
EARTH AND THE THINGS THAT ARE
00:01:07.86\00:01:10.90
IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:01:10.93\00:01:12.90
SOUNDS SCARY? WELL,
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE.
00:01:12.93\00:01:16.17
TO FIND OUT MORE,
JOIN ME NOW AS WE EXPLORE
00:01:16.20\00:01:19.27
"THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT HELL."
00:01:19.31\00:01:21.54
>>THE MESSAGE FOR THIS MORNING
IS TITLED 'THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT
00:01:25.95\00:01:29.95
HELL - PART 1'. NOW
THIS IS A VERY RELEVANT
00:01:29.98\00:01:37.46
THING FOR US TO TALK ABOUT
BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS PRETTY
00:01:37.49\00:01:41.50
CLEAR THERE ARE ONLY TWO
CHOICES THAT EVERY HUMAN FACES.
00:01:41.53\00:01:47.77
THERE ARE TWO DESTINIES EVERYONE
AROUND YOU IS GOING TO EMBRACE.
00:01:47.80\00:01:52.31
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 20,
VERSE 15, "AND ANYONE NOT FOUND
00:01:52.34\00:01:56.68
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE."
00:01:56.71\00:02:03.02
THERE ARE TWO CHOICES - LIFE OR
DEATH - ETERNAL LIFE OR THE LAKE
00:02:03.05\00:02:10.29
OF FIRE,
SOMETIMES KNOWN AS HELL.
00:02:10.33\00:02:12.06
I ALWAYS FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD
SAYING THAT WORD IN CHURCH.
00:02:12.09\00:02:15.46
MOST PEOPLE DON'T USE THAT
WORD IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE,
00:02:15.50\00:02:18.67
BUT IT IS A BIBLICAL
WORD AND JUST APPRECIATE
00:02:18.70\00:02:20.94
THAT'S THE WAY I'M USING IT.
00:02:20.97\00:02:23.14
AND, KIND OF, THE COLLECTIVE
IDEA OF HELL IS THAT THERE'S
00:02:23.17\00:02:27.98
THIS MOLTEN PLACE, TYPICALLY
DOWN YONDER SOMEWHERE, WHERE THE
00:02:28.01\00:02:36.08
LOST GO AS SOON AS THEY DIE AND
THAT THEY BEGIN BURNING THERE
00:02:36.12\00:02:41.62
BUT THEY'RE ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS
AND THEY FEEL THE BURNING AND
00:02:41.66\00:02:46.96
THEY DON'T BURN FOR A SECOND
OR TWO, BUT THEY BURN IN THIS
00:02:47.00\00:02:50.77
MOLTEN FIRE AND SULPHUR AND
BRIMSTONE AGONIZING SECOND AFTER
00:02:50.80\00:02:56.74
SECOND AND MINUTE AFTER MINUTE
AND HOUR AFTER HOUR AND DAY
00:02:56.77\00:03:01.11
AFTER DAY AND WEEK AND
MONTH AND YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
00:03:01.14\00:03:04.65
MILLENNIUM AFTER MILLENNIUM.
00:03:04.68\00:03:06.18
ALL THAT TIME THEY'RE ROLLING
AND BLISTERING AND SHRIEKING AND
00:03:06.21\00:03:08.98
CRYING FOR MERCY AND MERCY NEVER
COMES AND AFTER A BILLION YEARS
00:03:09.02\00:03:13.96
GO BY THEY MANAGE TO SWIM TO THE
SURFACE OF THIS MOLTEN BRIMSTONE
00:03:13.99\00:03:18.03
AND THEY CALL 'LORD, HOW LONG?'
AND GOD SAYS, 'YOU'VE ONLY JUST
00:03:18.06\00:03:21.30
BEGUN.' AND HE PUSHES THEM UNDER
AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED.
00:03:21.33\00:03:26.67
YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED BY THE
00:03:26.70\00:03:30.91
TYPICAL BAPTIST AND
MANY EVANGELICALS ABOUT HELL.
00:03:30.94\00:03:34.61
SOME TRY TO SOFTEN IT A LITTLE
BIT AND THEY SIMPLY CALL IT
00:03:34.64\00:03:37.68
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.
00:03:37.71\00:03:40.02
BUT THEN YOU PIN THEM DOWN AND
SAY, 'WELL, WHAT ARE THESE LOST
00:03:40.05\00:03:42.28
SOULS EXPERIENCING?'
'WELL, THEY'RE BEING TORMENTED
00:03:42.32\00:03:46.62
DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND
EVER IN FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.'
00:03:46.65\00:03:50.73
THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULT
PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE
00:03:50.76\00:03:53.46
FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD
AND I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME,
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.67
SPECIFICALLY NEXT
WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:03:56.70\00:04:00.47
BUT IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT SOME OF
00:04:00.50\00:04:03.84
THE GOOD NEWS IS ON THIS SUBJECT
AND TRY AND CLEAR UP SOME OF
00:04:03.87\00:04:07.14
THESE MISUNDERSTANDINGS BECAUSE
THIS TYPICAL TRADITIONAL VIEW OF
00:04:07.18\00:04:11.21
HELL IS NOT WHAT WAS TAUGHT
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OR THE NEW
00:04:11.25\00:04:14.68
TESTAMENT OR
BELIEVED BY THE EARLY CHURCH.
00:04:14.72\00:04:17.12
IT HAS BEEN DISTORTED THROUGH
THE DARK AGES AND EXPLOITED BY
00:04:17.15\00:04:21.39
THE CHURCH TO
DRIVE PEOPLE BY FEAR.
00:04:21.42\00:04:26.03
MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
DRIVEN BY FEAR REGARDING THIS
00:04:26.06\00:04:29.16
SUBJECT AND IT DISTORTS THE
PICTURE OF GOD - IT PAINTS GOD
00:04:29.20\00:04:33.17
AS A SADIST. AND I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:33.20\00:04:37.11
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY
TEACHES ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
00:04:37.14\00:04:39.87
FIRST OF ALL, IS ANYBODY
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW?
00:04:39.91\00:04:42.58
WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE TEACH ABOUT THIS?
00:04:42.61\00:04:44.51
2 PETER - WE'LL HAVE SCRIPTURES
ON THE SCREEN, BUT I HOPE YOU'LL
00:04:44.55\00:04:47.18
ALSO WRITE THEM DOWN SO YOU'LL
HAVE AN OUTLINE IN YOUR HANDS.
00:04:47.22\00:04:51.65
2 PETER CHAPTER 2, VERSE
9 "...THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO
00:04:51.69\00:04:56.93
DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF
TEMPTATIONS AND TO RESERVE THE
00:04:56.96\00:05:01.26
UNJUST" - YOU'VE GOT TWO GROUPS:
THE GODLY AND THE UNJUST -
00:05:01.30\00:05:05.03
"UNDER PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY
OF JUDGMENT," - SO WHEN ARE THE
00:05:05.07\00:05:08.70
UNJUST PUNISHED?
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:05:08.74\00:05:12.54
THAT DAY IS NOT
THE DAY OF THEIR DEATH.
00:05:12.57\00:05:14.48
THERE IS A GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY COMING.
00:05:14.51\00:05:17.38
JOHN 12:48 JESUS SAID, "HE WHO
REJECTS ME, AND DOES NOT RECEIVE
00:05:17.41\00:05:22.02
MY WORDS, HAS THAT WHICH JUDGES
HIM - THE WORD THAT I HAVE
00:05:22.05\00:05:26.42
SPOKEN WILL JUDGE
HIM IN THE LAST DAY."
00:05:26.45\00:05:29.89
CHRIST IS LOOKING OFF INTO THE
FUTURE AT THAT DAY OF THE LORD -
00:05:29.92\00:05:33.36
THAT GREAT JUDGMENT DAY - AND HE
SAYS 'THAT IS THE DAY WHEN THEY
00:05:33.40\00:05:38.07
WILL BE JUDGED BY THE
WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN.'
00:05:38.10\00:05:40.24
THEY ARE NOT JUDGED YET.
00:05:40.27\00:05:41.87
THEY ARE NOT
RECEIVING THEIR REWARD YET.
00:05:41.90\00:05:45.37
AND THEN, IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT,
IT'S REALLY CLEAR WHEN YOU LOOK
00:05:45.41\00:05:48.61
AT THE PARABLE THAT JESUS TOLD
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 13, VERSE 40 -
00:05:48.64\00:05:53.05
DO YOU KNOW THE PARABLE OF THE
WHEAT AND THE TARES? HERE JESUS
00:05:53.08\00:05:57.52
TALKS ABOUT A MAN HAD A FIELD
AND SOME ENEMY CAME DURING THE
00:05:57.55\00:06:00.22
NIGHT AND HE SOWED THESE
TARES - TARES ARE LIKE A WEED.
00:06:00.26\00:06:03.53
HE SOWED THESE WEEDS IN AMONG
THE WHEAT AND IT ALL GREW UP AND
00:06:03.56\00:06:06.86
THE SERVANTS
SAID, 'WHAT SHALL WE DO?
00:06:06.90\00:06:08.36
SHALL WE PULL UP ALL THE WEEDS?'
AND THE MASTER SAID, 'NO, LET IT
00:06:08.40\00:06:12.10
GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST
AND AT THE HARVEST THEN WE'LL
00:06:12.13\00:06:15.60
GATHER THE TARES AND
BURN THEM IN BUNDLES AND WE'LL
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.01
GATHER THE WHEAT
AND PUT IT IN THE BARN.
00:06:18.04\00:06:20.81
AND SO JESUS, LATER,
INTERPRETING THAT PARABLE FOR
00:06:20.84\00:06:23.88
THE DISCIPLES SO THERE'S NO
MISUNDERSTANDING HE SAID - AND
00:06:23.91\00:06:27.38
THIS IS MATTHEW 13, VERSE
40, "THEREFORE AS THE TARES ARE
00:06:27.42\00:06:32.12
GATHERED AND BURNED IN
THE FIRE, SO IT WILL BE AT
00:06:32.15\00:06:35.99
THE END OF THIS AGE.
00:06:36.02\00:06:39.83
THE SON OF MAN WILL SEND OUT HIS
ANGELS," - WHEN JESUS COMES -
00:06:39.86\00:06:43.03
"AND THEY WILL GATHER OUT OF HIS
KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND,
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.80
AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS," - THE WICKED - THE
00:06:45.83\00:06:48.47
LOST - "AND WILL CAST
THEM INTO THE FURNACE OF FIRE.
00:06:48.50\00:06:51.41
THERE WILL BE WAILING
AND GNASHING OF TEETH."
00:06:51.44\00:06:55.28
ALRIGHT, WELL ONE THING WE DID
LEARN - THERE IS A FURNACE OF
00:06:55.31\00:06:58.05
FIRE BUT WE ALSO LEARNED THAT
THEY'RE NOT BURNING THERE YET
00:06:58.08\00:07:02.48
BECAUSE THE JUDGMENT
DAY HAS NOT HAPPENED.
00:07:02.52\00:07:04.39
THIS HARVEST HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. THE RESURRECTION OF THE
00:07:04.42\00:07:07.12
WICKED HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. IT IS STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:07:07.16\00:07:10.49
SO I HOPE THAT YOU FIND SOME
GOOD NEWS RIGHT THERE - THAT
00:07:10.53\00:07:13.60
NOBODY IS BURNING IN HELL RIGHT
NOW. SO WHERE ARE THE LOST NOW?
00:07:13.63\00:07:18.73
JESUS ANSWERS THAT IN JOHN 4,
VERSES 28 AND 29, "DO NOT MARVEL
00:07:18.77\00:07:23.27
AT THIS; FOR THE HOUR IS COMING"
- FUTURE TENSE - "IN WHICH ALL
00:07:23.30\00:07:27.94
WHO ARE IN THE GRAVES WILL HEAR
HIS VOICE AND COME FORTH -" -
00:07:27.98\00:07:32.68
THEY HAVEN'T COME FORTH YET
- THERE'S AN HOUR COMING WHEN
00:07:32.71\00:07:34.92
THEY'LL COME FORTH -
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE
00:07:34.95\00:07:37.42
RESURRECTION OF LIFE," - THAT'S
FIRST - DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.29
FIRST. ISN'T THAT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:07:40.32\00:07:42.56
- "AND THOSE WHO HAVE DONE
EVIL, TO THE RESURRECTION OF
00:07:42.59\00:07:44.49
CONDEMNATION." -
OR THE RESURRECTION OF
00:07:44.53\00:07:46.39
DAMNATION - THE RESURRECTION
OF THE LOST SPOKEN OF ALSO IN
00:07:46.43\00:07:51.00
DANIEL CHAPTER 12.
JESUS SAID IT'S IN THE FUTURE.
00:07:51.03\00:07:54.97
YOU'VE GOT A RESURRECTION OF THE
SAVED - THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:07:55.00\00:07:57.91
FIRST. THAT'S IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4.
00:07:57.94\00:08:00.64
AND THEN THERE'S THE
RESURRECTION OF THE LOST THAT
00:08:00.68\00:08:02.81
HAPPENS AT THE END OF
THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:08:02.84\00:08:04.98
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN REVELATION
20, 'THE REST OF THE DEAD DO NOT
00:08:05.01\00:08:08.52
LIVE UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS ARE FINISHED.'
00:08:08.55\00:08:11.02
IF THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST
- ALL THE DEAD WHO ARE SAVED
00:08:11.05\00:08:14.12
RISE FIRST - WHO ARE
THE REST OF THE DEAD?
00:08:14.16\00:08:16.73
THE DEAD WITHOUT
CHRIST - THE LOST.
00:08:16.76\00:08:20.33
THAT'S THE RESURRECTION OF
DAMNATION OR CONDEMNATION THE
00:08:20.36\00:08:24.50
BIBLE SPEAKS OF - IT'S IN THE
FUTURE - HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:08:24.53\00:08:29.24
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON WITH THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE END RESULT
00:08:29.27\00:08:33.04
OF SIN? WELL, LET'S LET
THE BIBLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
00:08:33.07\00:08:38.68
JAMES 1:15, "...SIN, WHEN IT IS
FINISHED, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH."
00:08:38.71\00:08:46.15
SO THERE ARE TWO REWARDS
THAT ARE OFFERED: LIFE OR DEATH.
00:08:46.19\00:08:51.19
MOSES SAID, BEFORE THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL ENTERED THE PROMISED
00:08:51.23\00:08:53.50
LAND THERE IN DEUTERONOMY
IN CHAPTER 30, HE SAID, 'I SET
00:08:53.53\00:08:57.57
BEFORE YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND
GOOD AND BLESSING OR DEATH AND
00:08:57.60\00:09:00.57
EVIL AND CURSING.' THE
OPTIONS FOR EVERYBODY IS IF
00:09:00.60\00:09:04.04
YOUR NAME IS IN THE
BOOK OF LIFE YOU LIVE.
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.07
IF YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE BOOK
OF LIFE YOU WILL BE PUNISHED AND
00:09:06.11\00:09:09.98
YOU DIE. THE END
RESULT OF SIN IS NOT
00:09:10.01\00:09:13.38
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE.
IT DOESN'T SAY THAT IN THE
00:09:13.42\00:09:15.82
BIBLE. THE BIBLE
DOESN'T SAY ANYWHERE
00:09:15.85\00:09:18.22
THAT YOU'VE GOT
AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:18.25\00:09:20.59
I ALWAYS STOP AND I JUST ASK
ANYBODY - I MEAN, HERE WE'VE GOT
00:09:20.62\00:09:24.96
OH, SIX OR SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE,
SHOW ME ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE
00:09:24.99\00:09:28.36
THAT SAYS YOU
HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:28.40\00:09:31.23
GOD IS IMMORTAL, BUT IMMORTALITY
IS GIVEN AT THE RESURRECTION.
00:09:31.27\00:09:37.21
NOBODY NOW
POSSESSES IMMORTALITY.
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.17
MATTER OF FACT, OUR
BODIES ARE CALLED MORTAL BODIES.
00:09:39.21\00:09:42.04
WHEN JESUS COMES, THEN
THIS MORTAL PUTS ON IMMORTALITY.
00:09:42.08\00:09:46.48
JOHN 3:16 - ACTUALLY I THINK
I'VE GOT ONE IN ROMANS FIRST -
00:09:46.51\00:09:51.62
LET'S DO ROMANS 6:23.
"FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH,
00:09:51.65\00:09:57.06
BUT THE GIFT OF
GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE."
00:09:57.09\00:09:59.93
EVERYBODY HERE -
YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS.
00:09:59.96\00:10:02.80
AND I CAN PROMISE YOU SOMETHING:
EVERYBODY HERE WILL RECEIVE ONE
00:10:02.83\00:10:05.60
OF THOSE TWO OPTIONS. AND
WHAT ARE THOSE TWO OPTIONS?
00:10:05.63\00:10:10.97
DEATH - HE DOESN'T SAY 'THE
WAGES FOR SIN IS ETERNAL LIFE IN
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.44
THE FIRE.' HE SAYS,
'THE WAGES FOR SIN IS DEATH.'
00:10:14.48\00:10:18.35
THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE.
NOW, DID JESUS DIE FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:18.38\00:10:23.18
DID JESUS TAKE THE
PENALTY FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:23.22\00:10:26.65
DID JESUS JUST FALL OVER AND
DIE OR DID HE SUFFER AND DIE?
00:10:26.69\00:10:31.56
SO THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS NOT
JUST DEATH, THE ULTIMATE PENALTY
00:10:31.59\00:10:34.56
IS DEATH, BUT HE
SUFFERED AND DIED.
00:10:34.56\00:10:38.87
SO IF WE DO NOT EMBRACE
THE SACRIFICE JESUS MADE IN OUR
00:10:38.90\00:10:42.20
BEHALF, WE WILL ALSO SUFFER AND
DIE FOR OUR OWN SINS IF WE DO
00:10:42.24\00:10:47.81
NOT ACCEPT HIM
AS OUR REPLACEMENT.
00:10:47.84\00:10:52.55
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE SO FAR?
00:10:52.58\00:10:55.62
JOHN 3:16 - TWO OPTIONS - "FOR
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
00:10:55.65\00:11:00.59
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD
00:11:00.62\00:11:05.46
NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING
LIFE." THERE'S ONLY TWO OPTIONS.
00:11:05.49\00:11:11.87
ONE OPTION IS NOT
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE -
00:11:11.90\00:11:14.70
PERISH IS THE ABSENCE OF LIFE.
00:11:14.74\00:11:16.64
THEY'RE GOING TO
PERISH OR EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:11:16.67\00:11:20.11
JESUS MADE THAT CLEAR
RIGHT THERE IN JOHN 3:16.
00:11:20.14\00:11:23.24
OKAY, QUESTION #4: WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE WICKED IN HELLFIRE?
00:11:23.28\00:11:28.02
PSALM 37, VERSE 10 AND THEN I'M
ALSO GOING TO READ VERSE 20 -
00:11:28.05\00:11:32.29
YOU OUGHT TO
READ THE WHOLE PSALM.
00:11:32.32\00:11:33.82
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
WICKED IN HELLFIRE? HERE WE GO.
00:11:33.86\00:11:37.13
"FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE
WICKED SHALL NOT BE: YEAH, THOU
00:11:37.16\00:11:41.23
SHALT DILIGENTLY CONSIDER
HIS PLACE, AND IT SHALL NOT BE."
00:11:41.26\00:11:46.10
THEY'LL NOT BE. I MEAN, WHAT
OTHER TERM OR WORDS DO YOU USE
00:11:46.13\00:11:49.97
TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING CEASING
TO EXIST? THEY'LL NOT BE.
00:11:50.01\00:11:53.01
'THE WICKED SHALL PERISH
AND THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD
00:11:53.04\00:11:56.11
WILL CONSUME INTO
SMOKE. THEY WILL CONSUME AWAY.'
00:11:56.14\00:11:59.58
AND I'VE HEARD SOME PASTORS
SAY, 'WELL, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
00:11:59.61\00:12:01.88
THE BODIES ALL BURN UP BUT THE
SOUL CONTINUES TO BURN FOREVER.'
00:12:01.92\00:12:06.45
OH, BUT JESUS SAID 'THE
SOUL THAT SINS IT WILL DIE.'
00:12:06.49\00:12:09.46
ACTUALLY, THAT'S IN EZEKIEL
- JESUS SAID, 'FEAR NOT HIM WHO
00:12:09.49\00:12:12.16
DESTROYS THE BODY'
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 10 -
00:12:12.19\00:12:14.56
'BUT CANNOT DESTROY THE SOUL.
00:12:14.56\00:12:16.16
RATHER, FEAR HIM WHO
DESTROYS SOUL AND BODY IN HELL.'
00:12:16.20\00:12:20.34
IT'S NOT JUST THE BODY THAT
BURNS UP - THE SOUL AND BODY.
00:12:20.37\00:12:23.87
MALACHI 4, VERSE 1 - THIS WAS
IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING - "'FOR
00:12:23.91\00:12:27.84
BEHOLD, THE DAY IS COMING,
BURNING LIKE AN OVEN, AND ALL
00:12:27.88\00:12:31.31
THE PROUD, YES, ALL WHO
DO WICKEDLY WILL BE STUBBLE.
00:12:31.35\00:12:35.35
AND THE DAY WHICH IS
COMING SHALL BURN THEM UP.'
00:12:35.38\00:12:38.05
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS, 'THAT
WILL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR
00:12:38.09\00:12:41.22
BRANCH.'" YOU THINK
ABOUT THE WORDS THAT
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.99
GOD IS USING HERE. LET
ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE AND
00:12:44.03\00:12:46.29
I'LL JUST TRY AND SUM
THIS THOUGHT UP FOR YOU.
00:12:46.33\00:12:48.86
REVELATION 21, VERSES 7 AND 8,
"HE WHO OVERCOMES WILL INHERIT
00:12:48.90\00:12:53.77
ALL THINGS" - THERE'S THE GOOD
NEWS, RIGHT? - "AND I WILL BE
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.94
HIS GOD AND HE WILL BE
MY SON." - SO ON ONE SIDE
00:12:56.97\00:12:59.91
YOU'VE GOT A SHEEP -
THEY GET THE EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:12:59.94\00:13:03.91
THEY'RE SAVED. - "BUT" -
00:13:03.95\00:13:06.05
THIS IS VERSE 8 -
REVELATION 21, VERSE 8 -
00:13:06.08\00:13:08.88
"THE COWARDLY, UNBELIEVING,
ABOMINABLE, MURDERERS, SEXUALLY
00:13:08.92\00:13:14.76
IMMORAL, SORCERERS, IDOLATERS,
AND ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR
00:13:14.79\00:13:19.13
PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHICH
00:13:19.16\00:13:23.23
IS THE SECOND DEATH."
00:13:23.26\00:13:26.23
REVELATION 20, VERSE 9 -
WHERE IS HELL GOING TO BURN?
00:13:26.27\00:13:30.77
AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM
WHEN SATAN MARSHALS THOSE LOST
00:13:30.81\00:13:34.44
FORCES AGAINST THE CITY OF GOD
IT SAYS, "THEY WENT UP ON THE
00:13:34.48\00:13:37.41
BREADTH OF THE EARTH AND
SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF THE
00:13:37.45\00:13:39.91
SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY.
00:13:39.95\00:13:41.92
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT
OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:13:41.95\00:13:45.29
THAT FIRE THAT RAINS DOWN
SURROUNDING THE NEW JERUSALEM
00:13:45.32\00:13:48.69
FORMS A LAKE OF FIRE. IT IS
ON THE EARTH. SO WHERE IS HELL
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.43
GOING TO BURN? ON THE EARTH.
I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MORE VERSES.
00:13:52.46\00:13:56.83
PROVERBS 11, VERSE 31, "...THE
RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE RECOMPENSED
00:13:56.87\00:14:01.37
IN THE EARTH: MUCH MORE
THE WICKED AND THE SINNER."
00:14:01.40\00:14:05.11
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO GET THEIR
REWARD IN THE VERY PLACE OF THE
00:14:05.14\00:14:08.14
CRIME - RIGHT
HERE ON THE PLANET.
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.51
2 PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10,
"BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:14:10.55\00:14:14.32
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, IN
WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS AWAY
00:14:14.35\00:14:17.29
WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE
ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH FERVENT
00:14:17.32\00:14:20.86
HEAT; BOTH THE EARTH
AND THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT
00:14:20.89\00:14:23.32
WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:14:23.36\00:14:25.33
SO IT'S ALWAYS FOCUSED - THAT
JUDGMENT IS RIGHT DOWN HERE.
00:14:25.36\00:14:28.56
HELL IS NOT A CAVERN OFF IN THE
COSMOS SOMEWHERE - THAT'S FULL
00:14:28.60\00:14:33.70
OF MOLTEN FIRE - HELL IS
NOT A CAVERN DOWN IN THE EARTH
00:14:33.74\00:14:38.11
SOMEWHERE, IT'S ON
THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH.
00:14:38.14\00:14:41.54
DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT WE'RE
00:14:42.91\00:14:45.45
GOING TO RETURN FOR THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:14:45.48\00:14:49.22
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED: IF
GOD IS LOVE, IF GOD IS GOOD,
00:14:49.25\00:14:53.89
WHY WOULD HE MAKE A DEVIL?
00:14:53.92\00:14:55.69
AND FURTHERMORE, WHY WOULD GOD
WANT SATAN TO BE THE SUPERVISOR
00:14:55.72\00:14:59.79
OF HELL, MEASURING OUT
HIS PUNISHMENT ON THE SINNERS?
00:14:59.83\00:15:04.37
MILLIONS THE WORLD OVER BELIEVE
THESE THINGS, BUT WHAT IF I TOLD
00:15:04.40\00:15:08.57
YOU THAT YOU WON'T FIND THIS
TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:15:08.60\00:15:12.74
WOULD THAT CHANGE
YOUR PICTURE OF GOD?
00:15:12.77\00:15:15.11
THAT'S WHY I HOPE
YOU'LL LET ME SEND YOU
00:15:15.14\00:15:16.88
A BEAUTIFULLY
ILLUSTRATED STUDY GUIDE CALLED,
00:15:16.91\00:15:19.75
"IS THE DEVIL
IN CHARGE OF HELL?"
00:15:19.78\00:15:22.12
THIS POWERFUL BIBLE
RESOURCE WILL ANSWER SOME BIG
00:15:22.15\00:15:24.89
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEVIL.
00:15:24.92\00:15:26.69
IT'LL EXPLAIN WHERE THE
SCRIPTURES SAY HE CAME FROM,
00:15:26.72\00:15:29.39
AND WHY GOD DOESN'T JUST
SNUFF HIM OUT OF EXISTENCE.

00:15:41.74\00:15:43.47
WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND
00:15:44.01\00:15:46.57
LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:46.61\00:15:49.31
>>IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
BECAUSE ONCE YOU KNOW WHERE HELL
00:15:51.01\00:15:54.52
IS, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT FOR
GOD TO MAKE A NEW EARTH ON THIS
00:15:54.55\00:15:58.02
PLANET THE TWO
CAN'T COEXIST TOGETHER.
00:15:58.05\00:16:01.06
THAT MEANS THE
FIRES OF HELL MUST GO OUT.
00:16:01.09\00:16:05.39
NUMBER 6 - THIS IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS THAT I
00:16:05.43\00:16:09.83
THINK IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS.
HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED SUFFER
00:16:09.86\00:16:13.84
IN THE FIRE? WELL,
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:16:13.87\00:16:16.64
GIVE US AN EXACT TIME BECAUSE
IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON.
00:16:16.67\00:16:21.61
REVELATION 22:12, JESUS SAID
- LAST CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE -
00:16:21.64\00:16:26.75
"AND, BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY;
AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO
00:16:26.78\00:16:30.59
GIVE EVERY MAN
ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE."
00:16:30.62\00:16:34.72
EVERYONE IS REWARDED ACCORDING
TO HIS WORK - MEANING THERE ARE
00:16:34.76\00:16:38.73
VARYING WORKS OUT THERE
AND THERE ARE VARYING REWARDS.
00:16:38.76\00:16:42.16
IF EVERYBODY BURNS ETERNALLY
THEN EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME
00:16:42.20\00:16:45.70
REWARD. HOW CAN THERE BE
A VARIATION? 'WELL, SOME -
00:16:45.73\00:16:50.34
IT'S HOTTER FIRE THAN FOR THE
OTHERS.' WOULD BE THE ANSWER.
00:16:50.37\00:16:53.64
COME ON, IF YOU GET EVERLASTING
FIRE AND I GET EVERLASTING FIRE
00:16:53.68\00:16:56.34
- AND JUST THINK ABOUT HOW
UNJUST THAT WOULD BE THAT YOU'VE
00:16:56.38\00:17:01.02
GOT, YOU KNOW, THINK OF THE
BIGGEST FIEND YOU CAN THINK OF
00:17:01.05\00:17:03.79
FROM HISTORY - POL POT OR
ADOLPH HITLER - PICK YOUR FIEND.
00:17:03.82\00:17:07.29
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
STALIN KILLED MORE THAN HITLER.
00:17:07.32\00:17:10.76
PICK YOUR BIGGEST FIEND THAT
YOU FIGURE IS LOST AND ON THE
00:17:10.79\00:17:13.73
JUDGMENT DAY GOD SAYS,
'LOST - LAKE OF FIRE FOR YOU.'
00:17:13.76\00:17:19.43
AND THE ANGELS TOSS HIM OFF IN
THE MOLTEN LAKE OF FIRE AND THEN
00:17:19.47\00:17:22.17
YOU'VE GOT THAT TEENAGER. HE'S
PAST THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY -
00:17:22.20\00:17:27.38
HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER
BUT HE REJECTS GOD - TAKES HIS
00:17:27.41\00:17:33.31
OWN LIFE AND THE LORD SAYS,
'SORRY, YOU CAN'T BE SAVED.
00:17:33.35\00:17:39.39
YOU CAN GO BURN FOREVER
RIGHT NEXT TO ADOLPH OR STALIN.'
00:17:39.42\00:17:42.66
IS THAT JUSTICE? NO,
I JUST - IT ABSOLUTELY
00:17:42.69\00:17:47.46
VIOLATES OUR REASON.
WELL, THE BIBLE IS CLEAR.
00:17:47.50\00:17:51.10
IT SAYS THERE ARE
VARYING DEGREES OF PUNISHMENT.
00:17:51.13\00:17:53.23
AND LET ME GIVE YOU A
FEW MORE VERSES ON THAT.
00:17:53.27\00:17:55.17
MATTHEW 10:28, "AND FEAR NOT
THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT
00:17:55.20\00:17:59.61
ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL:"
- I THINK I QUOTED THIS ALREADY
00:17:59.64\00:18:02.61
- "BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH
IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND
00:18:02.64\00:18:06.55
BODY IN HELL." SO IN
HELL THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED.
00:18:06.58\00:18:09.75
MATTHEW 16, "...HE'LL REWARD
EVERY MAN" - 16:27 - "ACCORDING
00:18:09.78\00:18:16.09
TO HIS WORKS." EVERYBODY.
THEN AGAIN, WE'RE SAVED BY WHAT?
00:18:16.12\00:18:20.56
WORKS OR FAITH? WE'RE SAVED
BY FAITH AND GRACE BUT WORKS ARE
00:18:20.60\00:18:24.70
THE ONLY THING THAT'S USED
IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:18:24.73\00:18:27.87
WILL THE FIRE EVENTUALLY GO OUT?
ISAIAH 47:14, IT SAYS, "BEHOLD,
00:18:27.90\00:18:34.51
THEY SHALL BE AS STUBBLE,
THE FIRE SHALL BURN THEM;" -
00:18:34.54\00:18:38.11
SPEAKING OF THE WICKED - "THEY
SHALL NOT DELIVER THEMSELVES
00:18:38.15\00:18:41.25
FROM THE POWER OF THE FLAME; IT
SHALL NOT BE A COAL TO BE WARMED
00:18:41.28\00:18:45.79
BY, NOR A FIRE TO SIT
BEFORE." NOT EVEN A COAL LEFT.
00:18:45.82\00:18:50.53
MALACHI 4:3 MAKES IT PRETTY
CLEAR, "'YOU SHALL TRAMPLE THE
00:18:50.56\00:18:53.83
WICKED, FOR THEY SHALL BE ASHES
UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET ON
00:18:53.86\00:18:56.80
THE DAY THAT I DO
THIS,' SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS."
00:18:56.83\00:18:58.97
SO 'BLESSED ARE THE MEEK,
THEY WILL INHERIT THE EARTH.'
00:18:59.00\00:19:01.70
WE GO FORTH FROM THE NEW
JERUSALEM AFTER THE JUDGEMENT OF
00:19:01.74\00:19:03.94
THE WICKED. THEY'VE ALL
BEEN BURNED, INCLUDING THE DEVIL
00:19:03.97\00:19:06.01
AND HIS ANGELS,
ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE.
00:19:06.04\00:19:08.21
AND IF ANYBODY DESERVES
TO BURN FOREVER, WHO IS IT?
00:19:08.24\00:19:11.41
IT'D BE LUCIFER.
00:19:11.45\00:19:13.72
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS IN EZEKIEL,
'I WILL BRING FORTH A FIRE FROM
00:19:13.75\00:19:16.85
THE MIDST OF THEE AND IT WILL
DEVOUR THEE AND IT WILL BRING
00:19:16.89\00:19:20.32
THEE TO ASHES ON THE EARTH
IN THE SIGHT OF THEM THAT BEHOLD
00:19:20.36\00:19:23.12
THEE. THOU SHALT BE A TERROR AND
NEVER SHALT THOU BE ANYMORE.'
00:19:23.16\00:19:27.60
NEVER SHALT THOU BE.
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY
00:19:27.60\00:19:29.60
ABOUT HITLER ESCAPING FROM
PRISON - LIKE NAPOLEON BRIEFLY
00:19:29.63\00:19:34.00
DID - AND ANOTHER
REBELLION RISING UP.
00:19:34.04\00:19:37.67
HE IS GOING TO BE
PERMANENTLY DEALT WITH.
00:19:37.71\00:19:40.44
HE WILL BURN LONGER THAN ANYONE
ELSE - PROBABLY DAY AND NIGHT.
00:19:40.48\00:19:43.31
AND I'LL EXPLAIN THOSE
VERSES IN OUR NEXT STUDY.
00:19:43.35\00:19:47.55
AGAIN, REVELATION 21, VERSES
4 AND 5, "AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY
00:19:47.58\00:19:52.39
EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES;
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH," -
00:19:52.42\00:19:56.59
NOTICE - "NOR SORROW, NOR
CRYING." HE DOESN'T SAY NO MORE
00:19:56.62\00:20:01.36
CRYING AMONG THE SAVED, HE'S
TALKING ABOUT A WORLD MADE NEW -
00:20:01.40\00:20:05.00
A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH -
NO MORE CRYING - NO MORE CRYING
00:20:05.03\00:20:07.94
ANYWHERE. "THERE
SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN."
00:20:07.97\00:20:11.34
HOW CAN YOU HAVE THIS VAST
WAREHOUSE FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO
00:20:11.37\00:20:17.38
ARE SCREAMING AND SHRIEKING
AND GOD SAYING 'GOOD NEWS.
00:20:17.41\00:20:20.32
THERE'S NO MORE
PAIN.' WELL, THERE IS PAIN.
00:20:20.35\00:20:24.05
IF, THEORETICALLY, THE MAJORITY
OF THE WORLD IS LOST AND IF
00:20:24.09\00:20:27.49
YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLIED BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITHING AND
00:20:27.52\00:20:30.83
SHRIEKING IN MOLTEN FIRE FOR
ETERNITY, FOR GOD TO SAY, 'GOOD
00:20:30.86\00:20:34.93
NEWS, THERE'S NO MORE PAIN.'
AND WOULDN'T WE HAVE TO ALL BE
00:20:34.93\00:20:38.53
BRAINWASHED AND NOT REMEMBER ANY
OF THE PEOPLE WE KNEW IN THIS
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.14
LIFE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT?
AND THEN WE'D JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:20:41.17\00:20:45.64
GOD'S GOING TO BRAINWASH US LIKE
THAT SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
00:20:45.67\00:20:47.81
GOING ON - I WISH
HE'D DO IT NOW, RIGHT?
00:20:47.84\00:20:52.18
JUST MAKE ME A SAINT RIGHT NOW
AND MAKE ME OBLIVIOUS TO ALL THE
00:20:52.21\00:20:54.75
SUFFERING RIGHT NOW. BUT
HE'S NOT. WE'RE GOING TO KNOW.
00:20:54.78\00:20:59.95
THAT'S WHY HE'S GOT TO DRY AWAY
TEARS BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO
00:21:00.06\00:21:02.22
BE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST AND
THEY'RE PUNISHED BUT THEY'RE
00:21:02.26\00:21:07.96
GOING TO BE PUT
OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:21:07.96\00:21:09.43
GOD IS GOING TO COMFORT
US BY SAYING, 'GOOD NEWS.
00:21:09.46\00:21:11.70
NO MORE PAIN. THEY'RE
NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE.'
00:21:11.73\00:21:15.87
THEY ARE ETERNALLY
SEPARATED FROM GOD, YES.
00:21:15.90\00:21:18.51
THEY ARE DESTROYED WITH
ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, YES.
00:21:18.54\00:21:21.44
THE FIRE THAT BURNS THEM IS
AN ETERNAL FIRE - THEY ARE BURNT
00:21:21.48\00:21:23.85
FOREVER - GONE - BUT
THEY'RE NOT STILL BURNING.
00:21:23.88\00:21:32.65
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED
00:21:32.69\00:21:36.76
THERE'S A STORY IN THE BIBLE
THAT TELLS US EXACTLY HOW IT'S
00:21:36.79\00:21:38.79
GOING TO END.
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.16
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THE STORY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH?
00:21:40.20\00:21:45.03
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THERE
THAT - IN GENESIS 19:24 - I'LL
00:21:45.07\00:21:53.88
NEVER FORGET, WHEN I WAS 16
YEARS OLD I LIVED ON A SAILBOAT
00:21:53.91\00:21:58.48
AND WE SAILED AROUND THE
MEDITERRANEAN AND ONE OF THE
00:21:58.51\00:22:00.48
PLACES THEY TOOK US
WAS THE RUINS OF POMPEII.
00:22:00.52\00:22:05.09
THERE, NOT FAR FROM THE FOOT OF
MOUNT VESUVIUS, THE VOLCANO BLEW
00:22:05.12\00:22:08.99
UP IN ABOUT 79 A.D. AND IT
SHOWERED THE CITIES OF POMPEII
00:22:09.02\00:22:14.96
AND HERCULANEUM
WITH ASHES AND BRIMSTONE.
00:22:15.00\00:22:17.47
AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ESCAPED.
PLINY THE ELDER, I THINK, TALKED
00:22:17.50\00:22:22.47
ABOUT IT IN A LETTER TO HIS
COUSIN AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE
00:22:22.50\00:22:26.47
ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT TO THE
WATER AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY
00:22:26.51\00:22:28.54
ABLE TO ESCAPE THE CLOUD OF
GASES AND ASH THAT CAME DOWN AND
00:22:28.58\00:22:32.68
SO MANY PEOPLE IN THAT - IT
WAS THE LAS VEGAS OF THE ROMAN
00:22:32.71\00:22:35.22
EMPIRE BACK THEN. YOU
CAN TELL FROM THE FRESCOS ON
00:22:35.25\00:22:38.15
THE WALLS - THEY'VE GOT ORGIES
PAINTED ON THE WALLS AND BASIC
00:22:38.19\00:22:41.22
PORNOGRAPHY THAT
SURVIVED. THEY FOUND IT IN 1874.
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.16
IT HAD BEEN BURIED UNDER 20
FEET OF ASH AND THEY'VE BEEN
00:22:45.19\00:22:47.86
EXCAVATING IT EVER SINCE.
IT'S NOT EVEN ALL EXCAVATED YET.
00:22:47.86\00:22:51.43
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN THEY CAME
TO A CAVITY AND THEY THOUGHT,
00:22:51.47\00:22:55.17
WAIT A SECOND, THERE WAS
SOMETHING IN HERE AND SO THEY'D
00:22:55.20\00:22:57.94
MIX UP PLASTER OF PARIS AND
THEY'D POUR IT IN AND THEY'D LET
00:22:57.97\00:23:01.04
IT DRY AND THEN THEY'D TAKE AWAY
THE ASH AND THEY FOUND WHAT WAS
00:23:01.08\00:23:03.71
IN THERE AND THESE ARE SOME
OF THE FORMS THAT THEY FOUND.
00:23:03.75\00:23:06.51
THESE GHOSTLY SHAPES OF PEOPLE
- REAL PEOPLE WHO LIVED - THAT
00:23:06.55\00:23:11.09
WERE BASICALLY INCINERATED -
THEY DIED BUT IT LEFT A VACUUM
00:23:11.12\00:23:15.02
ONCE THEIR BODIES
DECOMPOSED IN THAT CHAMBER.
00:23:15.06\00:23:18.96
AND IT WAS JUST AN AWFUL
DESTRUCTION. FIRE RAINED FROM
00:23:18.99\00:23:24.30
HEAVEN, YOU MIGHT SAY, AND BURNT
THE CITY OF POMPEII. THAT MADE
00:23:24.33\00:23:27.20
A PRETTY DEEP IMPRESSION ON
ME WHEN I SAW THAT AS A TEENAGER
00:23:27.24\00:23:31.91
AND I KIND OF WAS WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT MY FUTURE WAS.
00:23:31.94\00:23:36.68
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT THAT'S NOT THAT
00:23:36.71\00:23:38.05
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
HAPPENED TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:23:38.08\00:23:40.88
GENESIS 19:24, "THEN THE LORD
RAINED BRIMSTONE AND FIRE ON
00:23:40.92\00:23:46.29
SODOM AND GOMORRAH, FROM
THE LORD OUT OF THE HEAVENS."
00:23:46.32\00:23:50.79
AND JESUS, DESCRIBING THE
END OF THE WORLD IN LUKE CHAPTER
00:23:50.83\00:23:54.60
17:28-30, SAYS IT'S
GOING TO BE SIMILAR.
00:23:54.63\00:23:57.40
"LIKEWISE, AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF LOT: THEY ATE, THEY DRANK,
00:23:57.43\00:24:01.50
THEY BOUGHT, THEY SOLD, THEY
PLANTED, THEY BUILT; BUT ON THE
00:24:01.54\00:24:04.24
DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM
IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
00:24:04.27\00:24:07.81
FROM HEAVEN AND DESTROYED
THEM ALL. EVEN SO WILL IT BE
00:24:07.84\00:24:10.58
IN THE DAY WHEN THE
SON OF MAN IS REVEALED."
00:24:10.61\00:24:13.21
NOW HERE'S THE QUESTION: SODOM
AND GOMORRAH ARE SET FORTH AS AN
00:24:13.25\00:24:16.75
EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS FIRE IS.
ARE THEY STILL BURNING TODAY?
00:24:16.79\00:24:22.26
LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE: JUDE
1:7, "AS SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND
00:24:22.29\00:24:27.40
THE CITIES AROUND THEM
IN A SIMILAR MANNER...GIVEN
00:24:27.46\00:24:30.37
THEMSELVES OVER TO SEXUAL
IMMORALITY" - BOY, COULD IT BE
00:24:30.40\00:24:33.54
MUCH WORSE TODAY THAN IT
WAS THEN? COULD IT HAVE BEEN
00:24:33.57\00:24:37.11
MUCH WORSE THEN THAN IT
IS TODAY? COULD WE SHARE,
00:24:37.14\00:24:41.14
AS A WORLD, IN THEIR
FATES? - "HAVING GONE AFTER
00:24:41.18\00:24:45.41
STRANGE FLESH," - YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY MEAN BY STRANGE FLESH?
00:24:45.45\00:24:49.85
NOT EVEN NATURAL SEX - "ARE SET
FORTH AS AN EXAMPLE, SUFFERING
00:24:49.88\00:24:54.99
THE VENGEANCE OF - NOTICE THIS -
"SUFFERING" - THEY'RE AN EXAMPLE
00:24:55.02\00:24:57.99
OF "SUFFERING THE
VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE."
00:24:58.03\00:25:01.90
SODOM AND GOMORRAH WERE
BURNED UP WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:25:01.93\00:25:03.93
WHY DOES GOD
CALL IT ETERNAL FIRE?
00:25:03.97\00:25:05.90
BECAUSE WHAT THAT FIRE DID
TO THOSE CITIES WAS ETERNAL.
00:25:05.93\00:25:08.27
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT.
THEY ARE STILL RUINS TODAY.
00:25:08.30\00:25:13.27
ARE THEY STILL BURNING? NO.
00:25:13.31\00:25:16.11
AND AGAIN, 2 PETER, 2:6, "AND
TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND
00:25:16.14\00:25:19.38
GOMORRAH INTO ASHES, CONDEMNED
THEM TO DESTRUCTION, MAKING THEM
00:25:19.41\00:25:24.82
AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO
AFTERWARD WOULD LIVE UNGODLY;"
00:25:24.85\00:25:27.46
WHAT WAS THE EXAMPLE?
THEY WERE TURNED INTO ASHES.
00:25:27.49\00:25:30.06
THEY WERE BURNT
WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:25:30.09\00:25:31.56
THEY ARE NOT
STILL BURNING TODAY.
00:25:31.59\00:25:33.13
WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE WICKED.
00:25:33.16\00:25:34.96
GOD SAID, 'I'VE
GIVEN YOU EXHIBIT A'.
00:25:35.00\00:25:37.27
LET'S GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE GOOD NEWS
00:25:37.30\00:25:39.93
IS THAT WE'VE
LEARNED ABOUT HELL.
00:25:39.97\00:25:42.14
FIRST OF ALL, NO ONE IS
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW.
00:25:42.17\00:25:45.57
CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'?
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO
00:25:45.61\00:25:48.64
HAVE BEEN
TORMENTED BY THAT IDEA.
00:25:48.68\00:25:50.81
SECONDLY, NO ONE IS
GOING TO BURN IN HELL FOREVER.
00:25:50.85\00:25:55.25
THERE IS A LAKE OF FIRE.
FOR MY BAPTIST FRIENDS THAT MAY
00:25:55.28\00:25:57.55
BE WATCHING AND YOU THINK, 'YOU
FOLKS DON'T BELIEVE IN FIRE.
00:25:57.59\00:26:00.09
DON'T BELIEVE IN HELLFIRE.'
MY HELLFIRE IS HOTTER THAN YOUR
00:26:00.12\00:26:04.39
HELLFIRE BECAUSE MY HELLFIRE
BURNS THEM UP AND YOUR HELLFIRE
00:26:04.43\00:26:07.40
JUST ROASTS THEM FOREVER, RIGHT?
AND SO, YES, WE BELIEVE IN
00:26:07.46\00:26:11.77
HELLFIRE BUT IT
DOESN'T BURN FOREVER.
00:26:11.80\00:26:14.40
WE'VE SEEN THAT FROM THE BIBLE.
HELLFIRE WILL PUT SINNERS OUT OF
00:26:14.44\00:26:19.07
THEIR MISERY. YOU
EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
00:26:19.11\00:26:21.71
SINNERS ARE NOT HAPPY - LIKE AN
ANIMAL SUFFERING SOME INCURABLE
00:26:21.74\00:26:25.61
DISEASE - GOD IS GOING TO
PUT SINNERS OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:26:25.65\00:26:29.82
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS ACTUALLY
AN ACT OF LOVE AND MERCY.
00:26:29.85\00:26:32.75
EVEN IN THE WAY HE
DEALS WITH THE LOST.
00:26:32.79\00:26:35.79
HELLFIRE WILL
PURIFY THE UNIVERSE.
00:26:35.82\00:26:37.79
THERE'S NO MORE
GOING TO BE SIN OR SINNERS.
00:26:37.83\00:26:39.39
ALL THINGS ARE
PERFECT AND PURE AGAIN.
00:26:39.43\00:26:42.13
AND YOU DON'T NEED TO GO
THERE. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
00:26:42.16\00:26:47.84
YES, MOST OF THE WORLD'S GOING
TO MAKE THE WRONG DECISION BUT
00:26:47.87\00:26:50.11
THERE'S NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO BE
LOST BECAUSE THE SUFFERING THAT
00:26:50.14\00:26:53.61
JESUS TOOK UPON
HIMSELF WAS YOUR SUFFERING.
00:26:53.64\00:26:57.91
BUT YOU MUST EMBRACE THAT.
