- [Announcer] This presentation
is brought to you by
00:00:02.56\00:00:04.40
the friends of the
Amazing Facts Ministry.
00:00:04.43\00:00:07.64
(enchanted music)
00:00:07.67\00:00:09.60
- So what's the
hottest place on Earth?
00:00:09.64\00:00:12.14
Guinness World Records
list the official winner
00:00:12.17\00:00:14.54
as the Death Valley, California.
00:00:14.58\00:00:16.95
On July 10th, 1913,
00:00:16.98\00:00:19.15
the mercury there skyrocketed
to 134 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:00:19.18\00:00:24.19
Some parts of Death Valley
00:00:25.05\00:00:26.25
have an average
daily high of 115 degrees,
00:00:26.29\00:00:29.82
but the ground temperature
can get even more intense.
00:00:29.86\00:00:33.16
In 1972, at a place
called Furnace Creek,
00:00:33.19\00:00:36.33
it registered a
blistering 201 degrees,
00:00:36.36\00:00:39.87
the hottest surface temperature
ever recorded on the planet.
00:00:39.90\00:00:43.37
Actually, there's a good chance
00:00:43.41\00:00:45.07
there are other places in
the deserts around the world
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.54
that get even hotter,
00:00:47.58\00:00:49.24
but most humans don't inhabit
the hottest places on Earth
00:00:49.28\00:00:52.28
so there are no weather stations
00:00:52.31\00:00:53.88
or sensors to record
the extreme temperatures.
00:00:53.92\00:00:56.48
The Bible tells us that
the ultimate global warming
00:00:56.52\00:00:59.52
is still in the future.
00:00:59.55\00:01:01.06
It's the time when God will
cleanse the world with fire.
00:01:01.09\00:01:04.43
The scripture says in that day,
00:01:04.46\00:01:06.70
the very elements
will melt with fervent heat
00:01:06.73\00:01:09.66
and the Earth and
the things that are in it
00:01:09.70\00:01:11.70
will be burned up.
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.40
Sound scary? Well,
it doesn't need to be.
00:01:13.44\00:01:16.50
To find out more,
00:01:16.54\00:01:18.04
join me now as we explore
the good news about Hell.
00:01:18.07\00:01:21.81
Before we get into the lesson,
00:01:26.08\00:01:27.75
we always like to begin
with a storacle from the Bible.
00:01:27.78\00:01:31.35
These are Bible stories that
help illustrate Bible truths.
00:01:31.39\00:01:35.36
And you find this
story in the Book of Genesis.
00:01:35.39\00:01:38.49
Now the lesson is
called, "The Final Firestorm."
00:01:38.53\00:01:42.50
You remember Lot
and his Uncle Abraham
00:01:43.77\00:01:47.30
settled in the Promise Land.
00:01:47.34\00:01:49.10
God blessed their
flocks and herds so much that
00:01:49.14\00:01:51.14
they just could not
dwell together anymore.
00:01:51.17\00:01:53.44
And Abraham said, "We don't
wanna argue. We are brethren."
00:01:53.48\00:01:56.85
And so what
happened is Abraham said,
00:01:56.88\00:01:59.28
"Lot, you go to the right
hand, I'll go to the left.
00:01:59.31\00:02:01.92
"You decide where you wanna go."
00:02:01.95\00:02:03.72
And it says that he
lifted his eyes towards Sodom
00:02:03.75\00:02:06.39
and he directed his
attention towards the valley
00:02:06.42\00:02:09.32
because there's a
lot of pasture back then.
00:02:09.36\00:02:11.79
Even though the Bible's pretty
clear that the men of Sodom,
00:02:11.83\00:02:15.83
and this is Genesis
13:13, were wicked exceedingly.
00:02:15.86\00:02:20.87
Now, I don't
know if you're aware,
00:02:22.04\00:02:23.20
but God had actually
spared Sodom once before
00:02:23.24\00:02:25.34
and they'd been
rescued by Abraham.
00:02:25.37\00:02:27.01
He delivered the cities
when they'd been attacked by
00:02:27.04\00:02:29.51
the Assyrian
armies in the North.
00:02:29.54\00:02:32.48
God gave them another
chance, but they did not repent
00:02:32.51\00:02:34.95
and they went deeper and
deeper into sin and wickedness.
00:02:34.98\00:02:38.82
And eventually, God
sent two angels to Lot,
00:02:38.85\00:02:43.86
said, "Get your
family out of this place
00:02:44.99\00:02:47.23
"because God is gonna
destroy it for its wickedness."
00:02:47.23\00:02:49.90
Lot tried to persuade his grown
daughters that were married
00:02:49.93\00:02:53.30
to come with him
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.54
and they thought
that he was mocking.
00:02:54.57\00:02:55.77
They wouldn't
take him seriously.
00:02:55.80\00:02:56.91
Finally, the angel
said, "Time's almost up,"
00:02:58.07\00:03:00.64
and the angels took
Lot and his two daughters
00:03:00.68\00:03:03.18
and his wife by the hand,
one angel had two in each hand,
00:03:03.21\00:03:07.28
and physically pulled
them out of the city and said,
00:03:07.32\00:03:10.59
"Escape for your life.
Do not look behind you."
00:03:10.62\00:03:14.49
Very explicit command.
00:03:14.52\00:03:16.19
"Nor stay anywhere in the
plain. Escape to the mountains."
00:03:16.22\00:03:20.23
And as they were going
back towards the mountain,
00:03:20.26\00:03:23.20
the Bible tells us:
00:03:23.23\00:03:24.57
Then the Lord rained
brimstone, that's like sulfur,
00:03:24.60\00:03:29.17
and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah
00:03:29.20\00:03:32.41
from the Lord
out of the Heavens.
00:03:32.44\00:03:35.94
Later you read
where Abraham said,
00:03:35.98\00:03:38.58
or it says that Abraham looked
towards Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:03:38.61\00:03:41.25
There were actually four
or five cities down there,
00:03:41.28\00:03:43.89
Zoar and the other
were, they're very small.
00:03:43.92\00:03:46.49
But the principle
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:03:46.52\00:03:48.82
and beheld the smoke of the land
00:03:48.86\00:03:51.13
which went up like
the smoke of a furnace.
00:03:51.16\00:03:54.30
He saw the judgment.
00:03:54.36\00:03:55.50
Abraham was praying
that Lot and his family
00:03:55.53\00:03:57.87
had made it out alive.
00:03:57.90\00:04:00.14
Now you might be a
little bit apprehensive.
00:04:00.17\00:04:02.77
"Oh, Pastor Doug, you're
gonna be talking about Hell?"
00:04:02.80\00:04:05.57
I think you're
gonna be encouraged
00:04:06.74\00:04:08.21
when you find out what
the Bible teaches about this
00:04:08.24\00:04:09.94
regarding the
justice and the love of God.
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.18
I think I shared with you
00:04:12.21\00:04:13.42
the night that we
talked about Heaven,
00:04:13.45\00:04:14.72
that there are about
00:04:14.75\00:04:15.95
twice as many people
that believe in Heaven
00:04:15.98\00:04:17.89
as those who believe in Hell.
00:04:17.92\00:04:19.69
And that's understandable
00:04:19.72\00:04:20.92
because there are
two incredible extremes
00:04:20.96\00:04:24.13
that are out there in the world,
00:04:24.16\00:04:25.26
and even in the
church, regarding Hell.
00:04:25.29\00:04:28.36
One teaching says that
00:04:28.40\00:04:31.80
if you're bad and you die,
00:04:31.83\00:04:34.27
you go immediately to a
place of everlasting torment
00:04:34.30\00:04:38.77
where you will be plunged into
a Lake of Fire and brimstone
00:04:38.81\00:04:43.48
and you will have every
nerve ending in your body
00:04:43.51\00:04:46.55
sensing this
incredible agony and pain.
00:04:46.58\00:04:51.02
And you'll be writhing in
this molten fire and brimstone,
00:04:51.05\00:04:54.36
compounded by the anguish
that you could have been saved
00:04:54.39\00:04:56.93
but you are not.
00:04:56.96\00:04:58.46
And that terrible experience
will not go on for a moment
00:04:58.49\00:05:01.26
or two or a minute or
two, but forever and ever.
00:05:01.30\00:05:06.30
Now just the thought of that,
00:05:07.17\00:05:08.30
I think can make
someone blow a gasket.
00:05:08.34\00:05:10.47
Think about that.
00:05:10.51\00:05:11.81
Who would wanna
burn for a minute?
00:05:11.84\00:05:14.04
Can you imagine
burning for a billion years?
00:05:14.08\00:05:16.61
And then after a
billion years go by,
00:05:16.64\00:05:18.21
you swim to the surface of
the molten lava and you say,
00:05:18.25\00:05:20.52
"Lord, how long?"
00:05:20.55\00:05:21.75
And He laughs
and says, "How long?
00:05:21.78\00:05:22.98
"You haven't even
started eternally."
00:05:23.02\00:05:26.12
That's one view.
00:05:26.15\00:05:26.96
The other view
is that Hell is just
00:05:28.19\00:05:32.63
the bad memories of
what happened here on Earth
00:05:32.66\00:05:35.36
that are gonna bother you
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.00
or that some of the wicked
might be vaporized at the end,
00:05:37.03\00:05:42.04
and then they're gone.
00:05:42.77\00:05:44.34
Between these two extremes,
you'll find the Bible truth.
00:05:44.37\00:05:47.38
There is a true teaching
on Hell and the Lake of Fire.
00:05:47.41\00:05:51.11
You find that in Revelation 20.
00:05:51.15\00:05:53.45
You'll also find
it in Revelation 22,
00:05:53.48\00:05:55.68
and all through the
teachings of Jesus as well.
00:05:57.02\00:05:59.89
But we're gonna find
out what the Bible says.
00:05:59.92\00:06:01.32
Fair enough?
00:06:01.36\00:06:02.26
- [Congregation Member] Amen.
00:06:02.29\00:06:03.46
- To go to the first
question in our lesson.
00:06:03.49\00:06:05.49
What two cities
are given as an example
00:06:05.53\00:06:08.30
for the
destruction of the wicked?
00:06:08.33\00:06:10.43
In our opening story, we
looked at those two cities.
00:06:10.47\00:06:13.23
You read in 2 Peter 2:6:
00:06:13.27\00:06:15.00
And turning the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes.
00:06:16.60\00:06:21.28
Into what?
00:06:21.31\00:06:22.11
- [Congregation] Ashes.
00:06:22.14\00:06:23.55
- Turn them into ashes,
condemned them to destruction.
00:06:23.58\00:06:26.21
Ashes, destruction.
00:06:26.25\00:06:27.75
Making them an example to those
who afterward live ungodly.
00:06:27.78\00:06:31.45
So if we wanna see an example of
00:06:31.49\00:06:32.75
what's gonna happen
to the wicked, it says,
00:06:32.79\00:06:34.59
"Look at what
happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:06:34.62\00:06:37.83
"They were destroyed.
They were turned to ashes."
00:06:37.86\00:06:40.20
Now here's my question,
are they still burning today?
00:06:40.23\00:06:42.76
- [Congregation] No.
00:06:42.80\00:06:43.70
- Well, the Bible tells us
00:06:43.73\00:06:44.93
they were burnt
with eternal fire.
00:06:44.97\00:06:46.60
The results of
the fire were eternal.
00:06:47.80\00:06:49.97
They're not still burning now.
00:06:50.01\00:06:51.71
They were burnt up,
they were destroyed,
00:06:51.74\00:06:53.68
they were turned to
ashes, never rebuilt.
00:06:53.71\00:06:55.91
So question number two.
00:06:57.11\00:06:58.41
When will the wicked
be destroyed in hellfire?
00:06:59.58\00:07:02.68
Let's find out what
the Bible says on that.
00:07:02.72\00:07:05.35
2 Peter 2:9:
00:07:06.69\00:07:08.32
The Lord knows how
to reserve the unjust
00:07:08.36\00:07:11.33
under punishment
for the day of judgment.
00:07:11.36\00:07:14.36
If you call a
restaurant and say,
00:07:14.40\00:07:15.66
"I'd like to reserve a table,"
00:07:15.70\00:07:17.37
that means they're holding
it for you till you get there.
00:07:17.40\00:07:20.67
And this is the same
way it is with the wicked,
00:07:20.70\00:07:23.74
that people are reserved
for the day of judgment.
00:07:23.77\00:07:26.31
They're not there yet.
00:07:26.34\00:07:27.78
The judgment has
not happened yet.
00:07:27.81\00:07:30.25
When is that?
00:07:30.28\00:07:31.18
John 12:48:
00:07:31.21\00:07:32.71
Jesus said, "The word that
I have spoken will judge him."
00:07:32.75\00:07:35.88
When?
00:07:35.92\00:07:36.82
- [Congregation] The last day.
00:07:36.85\00:07:37.82
- The last day.
00:07:37.85\00:07:38.75
In fact, I'm gonna
grab my Bible real quick.
00:07:38.79\00:07:40.92
If you've got your
Bible or your digital Bible,
00:07:40.96\00:07:42.96
go to John 6.
00:07:42.99\00:07:44.23
I wanna just show you something.
00:07:44.26\00:07:45.39
It's amazing to me
people don't catch this.
00:07:45.43\00:07:47.76
John 6. These are
all the words of Jesus.
00:07:47.76\00:07:50.17
Start with, oh, verse 39.
00:07:50.20\00:07:52.07
This is the will of
my Father who sent me
00:07:53.34\00:07:55.27
that all He's given
me, I should lose nothing,
00:07:55.30\00:07:57.27
but raise it up the last day.
00:07:57.31\00:08:00.28
Verse 40.
00:08:01.31\00:08:02.28
I will raise
him up the last day.
00:08:02.31\00:08:06.35
You go to verse 44.
00:08:06.38\00:08:08.58
No one can come to me
00:08:08.62\00:08:09.78
unless the Father
who sent me draws him
00:08:09.82\00:08:11.35
and I will raise
him up the last day.
00:08:11.39\00:08:14.29
Go to verse 54.
00:08:14.32\00:08:15.72
Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks my blood has eternal life
00:08:15.76\00:08:18.56
and I'll raise
him up the last day.
00:08:18.59\00:08:20.93
And I could go on.
00:08:20.96\00:08:21.83
All through the New Testament,
00:08:21.86\00:08:23.33
it is so clear that people
do not receive their rewards
00:08:23.37\00:08:26.00
until the end,
the day of the Lord.
00:08:26.03\00:08:29.30
It's called the
judgment day, the last day.
00:08:29.34\00:08:31.97
It is future when there's
this recompense that is given
00:08:32.01\00:08:35.64
to the righteous and the wicked.
00:08:35.68\00:08:37.45
You can read in Matthew 13:40.
00:08:38.75\00:08:40.92
So it will be at
the end of this age,
00:08:42.05\00:08:45.22
the Son of Man
will send out His angels
00:08:45.25\00:08:47.19
and they will gather together
00:08:47.22\00:08:48.76
those who practice lawlessness.
00:08:48.79\00:08:50.63
That's the evil, correct?
00:08:50.66\00:08:52.09
- [Congregation Member]
Yes. - At the end of the age.
00:08:52.13\00:08:53.93
They'll send his angels to
gather together the wicked,
00:08:53.96\00:08:57.40
cast them into
a furnace of fire.
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.37
Okay. That can't
be misunderstood.
00:08:59.40\00:09:02.07
Do the wicked experience fire?
00:09:02.10\00:09:03.47
- [Congregation Member] Yes.
00:09:03.51\00:09:05.17
- And we'll find
out what happens.
00:09:05.21\00:09:06.57
But when is that? Is
anyone burning in Hell now?
00:09:06.61\00:09:09.21
- [Congregation] No.
00:09:09.24\00:09:10.45
- No. The Bible
says it's future.
00:09:10.48\00:09:12.55
So considering that,
question number three.
00:09:13.75\00:09:16.22
If the wicked who have
died are not in Hell yet,
00:09:16.25\00:09:19.35
where are they?
00:09:19.39\00:09:20.96
Well, let's let
the Bible describe it.
00:09:20.99\00:09:23.09
John 5:28, Jesus
is speaking here.
00:09:23.12\00:09:26.26
"The hour is coming."
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.10
He's speaking future tense.
00:09:28.13\00:09:29.80
"The hour is coming in
which all who are in the graves
00:09:29.83\00:09:33.03
"will hear His voice."
00:09:33.07\00:09:34.47
These are the resurrections
all, good and evil.
00:09:34.50\00:09:36.71
Future, they're
gonna hear His voice.
00:09:36.74\00:09:39.04
"They that have done
good, the resurrection of life,
00:09:39.07\00:09:42.08
"and those who have done evil,
00:09:42.11\00:09:44.21
"the
resurrection of condemnation."
00:09:44.25\00:09:47.52
And so we got the
dead in Christ rise first
00:09:47.55\00:09:50.42
and then the only ones
left are the dead out of Christ,
00:09:50.45\00:09:53.12
which is the lost or the wicked.
00:09:53.15\00:09:54.79
They're in a
second resurrection.
00:09:54.82\00:09:56.59
Bible's very clear.
00:09:56.62\00:09:57.83
There's two distinct
separate resurrections.
00:09:57.86\00:09:59.63
And again, look
in Job 21:30 and 32.
00:09:59.66\00:10:03.73
The wicked are
reserved for the day of doom.
00:10:03.77\00:10:06.63
He will be brought to the grave.
00:10:06.67\00:10:08.34
Where is he brought?
00:10:08.37\00:10:09.30
- [Congregation] To the grave.
00:10:09.34\00:10:10.51
- To the grave.
00:10:10.54\00:10:11.54
And a vigil kept over the tomb.
00:10:11.57\00:10:13.34
He's reserved, he's
gonna be brought to the grave,
00:10:13.38\00:10:15.91
until he comes forth in
the second resurrection.
00:10:15.94\00:10:18.48
Question number four.
00:10:19.48\00:10:20.92
What is the reward
or punishment for sin?
00:10:20.95\00:10:24.59
According to the Bible,
00:10:24.62\00:10:26.25
it tells us the wages of sin is?
00:10:26.29\00:10:29.39
- [Congregation] Death. - Death.
00:10:29.42\00:10:30.89
And the gift of
God is eternal life
00:10:30.93\00:10:34.03
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.50
Now, I just need
to tell you, friends,
00:10:35.53\00:10:37.57
this to me is one of
the favorite sermons for me
00:10:37.60\00:10:42.60
because growing up
00:10:43.37\00:10:44.61
I didn't have a lot
of religious training,
00:10:44.64\00:10:45.97
but my parents did send me
00:10:46.01\00:10:47.21
to a couple of
different Christian schools.
00:10:47.24\00:10:49.28
And in those schools they said,
00:10:49.31\00:10:51.18
"If you're good," you
know the principal teaching?
00:10:51.21\00:10:52.91
"You're good, you
die, you go to Heaven.
00:10:52.95\00:10:54.45
"You're bad, you die,
you go to the other place."
00:10:54.48\00:10:56.55
Well, I was curious.
00:10:56.58\00:10:57.79
I said, "Tell me
about that other place."
00:10:57.82\00:10:59.15
"Well, you'll
be thrown into fire
00:10:59.19\00:11:02.79
"and you're going to
burn forever and ever."
00:11:02.82\00:11:05.79
And when I heard that, I
don't remember how old I was,
00:11:07.13\00:11:10.37
I was pretty young,
00:11:10.40\00:11:11.43
I just couldn't comprehend.
00:11:13.74\00:11:16.50
I said, "You're telling
me God is love in one class,
00:11:16.54\00:11:19.04
"another class you're saying
that if I'm bad I go to Hell."
00:11:19.07\00:11:22.24
And I said, "Let me
see if I understand this.
00:11:22.28\00:11:24.45
"Everybody sins?"
00:11:24.48\00:11:26.48
"Yeah, all have
sinned except Jesus."
00:11:26.51\00:11:27.95
"So we're born with sort
of a predisposition to sin?
00:11:27.98\00:11:31.12
"We didn't choose to be born.
00:11:31.15\00:11:32.29
"God created us.
00:11:32.32\00:11:33.59
"And if we can't get it right,
00:11:33.62\00:11:35.39
"He's then gonna burn
these disobedient children
00:11:35.42\00:11:38.83
"forever and
ever and ever and ever
00:11:38.86\00:11:40.66
"for the sins of
one brief lifetime."
00:11:41.76\00:11:43.83
Said, "That doesn't sound fair."
00:11:43.87\00:11:45.43
I thought God was a sadist.
00:11:45.47\00:11:47.60
I turned away from God.
00:11:47.64\00:11:49.60
When I found out
the Bible truth on this,
00:11:49.64\00:11:51.71
it liberated me to love God.
00:11:51.74\00:11:54.88
- [Congregation Member] Amen!
00:11:54.91\00:11:56.41
- I realized that God
was a just and a loving God.
00:11:56.44\00:11:58.11
And that's why this subject
was just so dear to my heart
00:11:58.15\00:12:00.08
because I know there's
others out there like that.
00:12:00.12\00:12:02.45
Now if the penalty for sin,
00:12:02.48\00:12:04.82
what did we just read
the penalty for sin is?
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.42
The wages for sin are?
00:12:06.45\00:12:07.52
- [Congregation] Death.
00:12:07.56\00:12:08.42
- Death. Good enough.
00:12:08.46\00:12:11.13
But what if
00:12:11.16\00:12:12.56
the penalty for sin is
everlasting burning in fire,
00:12:12.59\00:12:15.06
how could Jesus pay
the penalty for our sin?
00:12:15.10\00:12:17.77
He didn't pay the
penalty for our sin.
00:12:18.93\00:12:20.87
He died on the cross.
00:12:20.90\00:12:22.20
He suffered, He died, He rose.
00:12:22.24\00:12:24.31
See what I'm saying?
00:12:25.34\00:12:26.47
The penalty's death.
00:12:26.51\00:12:27.71
What are the only two
choices for all of mankind?
00:12:29.08\00:12:32.28
The Bible tells us whoever
believes in Him should not
00:12:33.85\00:12:37.82
perish but have
everlasting life.
00:12:37.85\00:12:39.79
So if you do not
believe, what does it say?
00:12:39.82\00:12:42.62
- [Congregation Member] Perish.
00:12:42.66\00:12:43.96
- Perish. By the way,
you got a picture of Moses
00:12:43.99\00:12:45.56
holding up the
bronze serpent there
00:12:45.59\00:12:46.90
because when
Jesus said these words,
00:12:46.93\00:12:47.83
He was talking to
Nicodemus and He said,
00:12:47.86\00:12:49.23
"As Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness,
00:12:49.26\00:12:51.80
"that whoever
believed would not perish
00:12:51.83\00:12:54.74
"but have everlasting life.
00:12:54.77\00:12:56.87
"For God so loved the
world that He gave His only Son,
00:12:56.91\00:12:59.44
"that whoever
believes might not perish
00:12:59.47\00:13:01.61
"but have everlasting life."
00:13:01.64\00:13:02.61
He's very clear. Perish.
00:13:02.64\00:13:04.61
Some of you've got
things in your refrigerator
00:13:04.65\00:13:06.58
because they're
called perishables.
00:13:06.61\00:13:09.02
And if they're not,
00:13:09.05\00:13:10.22
some of you have
things in your refrigerator
00:13:10.25\00:13:11.72
that have perished a long time
ago and they're still there.
00:13:11.75\00:13:14.19
(congregation laughs)
00:13:14.22\00:13:15.72
But the reason is you try
to prevent them from perishing
00:13:15.76\00:13:18.86
and otherwise, they
decompose, they rot,
00:13:18.89\00:13:20.80
they turn back into
the elements of the Earth,
00:13:20.83\00:13:22.83
cease to exist.
00:13:22.86\00:13:23.77
That's what it means by perish.
00:13:23.80\00:13:25.73
What will happen to the
wicked that are in hellfire?
00:13:25.77\00:13:29.04
For yet a little while and
the wicked shall be no more.
00:13:30.47\00:13:34.14
The wicked shall
perish into smoke.
00:13:34.18\00:13:37.21
They will vanish away.
00:13:37.25\00:13:39.55
The day is coming
that will burn as an oven
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.92
and all that do
wickedly will be stubble.
00:13:41.95\00:13:44.05
The day that
comes will burn them up.
00:13:44.09\00:13:45.79
When something's
burned up, what's left?
00:13:45.82\00:13:47.16
- [Congregation Member] Nothing.
00:13:47.19\00:13:48.59
- It's gone.
00:13:48.62\00:13:49.46
You shall trample the wicked
00:13:50.79\00:13:52.23
for they will be ashes
under the soles of your feet.
00:13:52.26\00:13:55.56
This week Karen and
I were up in the hills
00:13:55.60\00:13:57.00
and we were doing some cleaning
00:13:57.03\00:13:58.33
and we bought a refrigerator
00:13:58.37\00:14:00.57
and we had this big
refrigerator box and we said,
00:14:00.60\00:14:02.30
"What are we gonna do with
this big old cumbersome box?"
00:14:02.34\00:14:04.21
And we said, "It rained
up here, let's start a fire."
00:14:04.24\00:14:06.98
It was amazing how quickly
00:14:07.01\00:14:08.51
that refrigerator box
had disappeared and blew away
00:14:08.54\00:14:10.85
when you burn it.
00:14:10.88\00:14:12.08
Perish. Good
luck finding it now.
00:14:12.11\00:14:14.58
It's gone with
the wind, as they say.
00:14:14.62\00:14:16.58
Where will hellfire be located?
00:14:18.62\00:14:20.46
In Granite Bay.
00:14:22.12\00:14:23.56
(congregation laughs)
00:14:23.59\00:14:25.73
And in Washington, DC.
00:14:25.76\00:14:27.93
Probably a little hotter there.
00:14:27.96\00:14:29.50
And in San Francisco.
00:14:30.73\00:14:32.00
Hellfire is on Earth.
00:14:33.90\00:14:35.50
(enchanted music)
00:14:35.54\00:14:36.77
Don't go anywhere, friends.
00:14:36.81\00:14:38.24
In just a moment we're gonna
return to today's presentation.
00:14:38.27\00:14:41.74
Is Hell a real place?
00:14:41.78\00:14:43.31
And if so, where is it located?
00:14:43.35\00:14:45.91
Are lost sinners
burning there now
00:14:45.95\00:14:47.88
and being
tortured through eternity?
00:14:47.92\00:14:50.29
Is the Devil
really in charge of Hell?
00:14:50.32\00:14:53.05
The Bible clearly
addresses all of these questions
00:14:53.09\00:14:56.32
and the answers
might just surprise you.
00:14:56.36\00:14:58.69
We have a special free

Well, let's get back
to today's presentation
00:15:31.59\00:15:33.09
and learn some more amazing
facts about the Word of God.
00:15:33.13\00:15:36.26
I remember, I hope
you don't buy them,
00:15:37.80\00:15:41.04
but sometimes you
know at the checkout stand
00:15:41.07\00:15:42.84
they got those
tabloid magazines.
00:15:42.87\00:15:45.07
And I was in line
and I saw the headline,
00:15:46.24\00:15:50.18
I was real tempted to buy it
00:15:50.21\00:15:51.35
to use for a
sermon illustration.
00:15:51.38\00:15:52.91
And it said, "Oil drillers
in Siberia drill too deep
00:15:52.95\00:15:57.95
"and they reach Hell.
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.09
(congregation laughs)
00:16:00.12\00:16:00.96
"Demons escape."
00:16:00.99\00:16:02.39
(congregation laughs)
00:16:02.42\00:16:03.63
'Cause a lot of
people have this idea that
00:16:03.66\00:16:05.86
the Devil is in charge of
this dark cavern down there.
00:16:05.89\00:16:09.36
They got the god
Vulcan, they saw a volcano.
00:16:09.40\00:16:11.43
That's where you get the word
00:16:11.47\00:16:12.67
'cause this fire would
come up out of the Earth
00:16:12.70\00:16:14.34
and they thought the Devil,
00:16:14.37\00:16:15.84
they kinda got him mixed up
with Greek mythology and said,
00:16:15.87\00:16:17.51
"Yeah, he's like the god Vulcan.
00:16:17.54\00:16:19.04
"He's in charge of how
people get burned in Hell."
00:16:19.07\00:16:22.04
Is that what the Bible teaches?
00:16:22.08\00:16:23.24
- [Congregation] No.
00:16:23.28\00:16:24.45
- Revelation 20:9.
Where is Hell gonna burn?
00:16:24.48\00:16:26.75
They went up on the
breadth of the Earth,
00:16:26.78\00:16:29.05
surface of the Earth,
00:16:29.08\00:16:30.49
and surrounded
the camp of the saints
00:16:30.52\00:16:32.85
and fire came down from God
out of Heaven and devoured them.
00:16:32.89\00:16:36.52
That fire rains
down on the Earth.
00:16:36.56\00:16:39.13
Everywhere
surrounding the New Jerusalem,
00:16:39.16\00:16:42.13
it's gonna be fire
raining up until it rains down
00:16:42.16\00:16:44.33
and forms a lake.
00:16:44.37\00:16:45.50
You can also
read in 2 Peter 3:10:
00:16:46.67\00:16:49.57
The elements will
melt with fervent heat.
00:16:50.71\00:16:53.58
Both the Earth and
the works that are in it
00:16:53.61\00:16:56.28
will be burned up.
00:16:56.31\00:16:57.21
The whole surface of the planet
00:16:57.25\00:16:58.35
is gonna be purified by fire.
00:16:58.38\00:17:00.45
So the fire is on the surface
of the Earth in the last days.
00:17:00.48\00:17:04.22
It's not a chamber off
in the cosmos somewhere
00:17:04.25\00:17:07.29
and it's not down
yonder in a deep hole.
00:17:07.32\00:17:10.76
It's on the
surface of the Earth.
00:17:10.79\00:17:12.89
Will the fires
of Hell ever go out?
00:17:12.93\00:17:15.53
You can read here
in Isaiah 47:14 says:
00:17:16.70\00:17:20.64
It shall not be a
coal to be warmed by
00:17:20.67\00:17:25.47
nor a fire to sit before.
00:17:25.51\00:17:27.74
It's consumed.
There'll be nothing left.
00:17:28.81\00:17:31.21
The fire burns up.
00:17:31.25\00:17:32.95
I've had people say,
"Yeah Pastor Doug, you're right.
00:17:32.98\00:17:34.95
"The bodies burn up.
00:17:34.98\00:17:36.48
"The bodies are consumed,
the bodies turn to ashes,
00:17:36.52\00:17:38.49
"but their soul burns forever."
00:17:38.52\00:17:41.29
Maybe some of you've heard that.
00:17:41.32\00:17:42.76
Yeah, it's not a
physical torment,
00:17:42.79\00:17:44.96
it's their souls
that are being tormented.
00:17:44.99\00:17:47.73
But listen to what
Jesus said, Matthew 10:28.
00:17:47.76\00:17:51.40
"Do not fear
those who kill the body
00:17:51.43\00:17:54.40
"but they cannot kill the soul.
00:17:54.44\00:17:56.67
"But rather fear Him
00:17:56.71\00:17:58.44
"who is able to destroy
00:18:00.31\00:18:02.58
"soul and body in Hell."
00:18:02.61\00:18:05.31
What happens to that individual?
00:18:05.35\00:18:07.12
Jesus said,
"Soul, body destroyed."
00:18:07.15\00:18:11.69
Perish. Ashes.
00:18:11.72\00:18:14.22
This idea of eternal torment
is just a horrific teaching.
00:18:14.26\00:18:19.03
The reason I think
it also bothers me,
00:18:19.06\00:18:21.30
it distorts the
character of God.
00:18:21.33\00:18:24.33
The Bible says God is love.
00:18:24.37\00:18:27.10
I was up in my cave,
00:18:27.14\00:18:28.30
lived for about a year and a
half like a hermit in a cave.
00:18:29.80\00:18:32.64
I used to cook my own food.
00:18:32.67\00:18:34.31
And one night while I
was cooking my dinner,
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.08
my cat came in carrying a mouse.
00:18:37.11\00:18:41.42
I had a cat named Stranger
'cause he just showed up one
00:18:41.45\00:18:43.89
day. I didn't know
where he came from.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.42
He lived with
me for about a year
00:18:45.45\00:18:47.16
and then he disappeared one day.
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.09
But he used to like to
catch these kangaroo rats.
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.16
But you know how cats
are a little sadistic?
00:18:53.36\00:18:55.30
(congregation laughs)
00:18:55.33\00:18:56.53
They like to
play with their food.
00:18:56.56\00:18:58.70
And so he would catch this mouse
00:18:58.73\00:19:01.14
and then he'd be
making these growling noises
00:19:01.17\00:19:03.57
and then his eyes are
real big and he'd let go of it.
00:19:03.61\00:19:06.41
It would try to hop
away and he'd pounce again
00:19:06.44\00:19:09.31
and then he'd let go
and it would try to escape.
00:19:09.34\00:19:11.15
He'd pounce again. You
ever seen this before, you know?
00:19:11.18\00:19:13.85
And I'm watching
this, I'm thinking,
00:19:15.18\00:19:16.75
I felt sorry
for the poor little-
00:19:16.79\00:19:18.49
Kangaroo rats are kinda cute.
00:19:18.52\00:19:19.75
They're not like your
common rats or a mouse.
00:19:19.79\00:19:21.36
They kinda hop around
like a little kangaroo,
00:19:21.39\00:19:22.79
got a long tail with a
furry thing on the end of it
00:19:22.82\00:19:25.33
and cute little eyes.
00:19:25.36\00:19:29.40
(congregation laughs)
00:19:29.43\00:19:31.13
Long whiskers and...
00:19:31.17\00:19:32.77
And the poor thing.
00:19:33.94\00:19:35.54
I'm almost
rooting for the mouse.
00:19:35.57\00:19:37.71
(congregation laugh)
00:19:37.74\00:19:39.14
And so
Stranger's playing this game
00:19:39.17\00:19:40.98
and the thing in its daze
and confusion and desperation,
00:19:41.01\00:19:45.55
it went to hop away
00:19:45.58\00:19:46.82
and it hopped twice
and landed in my fire.
00:19:46.85\00:19:50.72
(congregation gasps and groans)
00:19:50.75\00:19:52.22
Listen to you.
00:19:52.25\00:19:53.22
I see some of you right
now, looking at your face
00:19:54.69\00:19:55.76
and you're going, "Oh!"
00:19:55.79\00:19:57.09
The anguish for the mouse
00:19:57.13\00:20:00.83
for 10 seconds.
00:20:00.86\00:20:02.30
You wouldn't do that to a rat!
00:20:04.03\00:20:05.77
And yet people
think God is gonna do that
00:20:07.04\00:20:09.74
to His disobedient
children through eternity.
00:20:09.77\00:20:13.91
For whom will
hellfire be kindled?
00:20:13.94\00:20:16.31
Is God saying,
"I'm gonna start a fire
00:20:17.48\00:20:18.81
"and I'm gonna burn
all the bad people?"
00:20:18.85\00:20:20.85
Depart from me, you cursed,
00:20:21.98\00:20:23.55
into everlasting fire prepared
for the Devil and his angels.
00:20:23.59\00:20:27.72
Who is it
principally prepared for?
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.19
- [Congregation
Member] The Devil.
00:20:29.22\00:20:30.16
- The Devil and his angels.
00:20:30.19\00:20:31.39
The Lord doesn't
want anybody to be lost,
00:20:31.43\00:20:34.66
but He has no
choice for the Devil.
00:20:34.73\00:20:36.43
Ultimately, it's gonna be
those that follow the Devil
00:20:36.46\00:20:40.04
are gonna join him in his fate.
00:20:40.07\00:20:42.44
And you can read
that parable where
00:20:42.47\00:20:44.27
God separates the sheep
from the goats in Matthew 25.
00:20:44.31\00:20:47.44
Does the Bible phrase,
"Unquenchable fire" indicate-
00:20:48.81\00:20:52.68
Now we're looking at
some of the anomalies
00:20:52.71\00:20:54.38
that people get mixed up on.
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.08
Does the Bible
phrase, "Unquenchable fire"
00:20:56.12\00:20:57.85
indicate that the
fire never goes out?
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.89
Let's read this verse here.
00:20:59.92\00:21:01.29
Matthew 3:12, it says:
00:21:01.32\00:21:04.49
He will thoroughly
clean out His threshing floor,
00:21:04.53\00:21:07.66
gather His wheat into
the barn and He will burn up.
00:21:07.73\00:21:11.50
Notice what burn up means.
00:21:11.53\00:21:13.37
When something's
burned up what's left?
00:21:13.40\00:21:14.64
- [Congregation Member] Nothing.
00:21:14.67\00:21:16.10
- He will burn up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.
00:21:16.14\00:21:20.41
I'll give you
another verse here.
00:21:20.44\00:21:21.78
Look in Jeremiah 17:27.
00:21:21.81\00:21:24.68
But if you will not heed
me to hallow the Sabbath day,
00:21:24.71\00:21:27.62
such as not carrying a burden
00:21:27.65\00:21:29.08
when entering the gates of
Jerusalem on the Sabbath day,
00:21:29.12\00:21:32.42
then I will kindle
a fire in its gates
00:21:32.45\00:21:35.32
and it will devour
the palaces of Jerusalem
00:21:35.36\00:21:38.16
and it shall not be quenched.
00:21:38.19\00:21:41.30
Now what does it
mean when it says that
00:21:42.46\00:21:43.93
the fire is unquenchable
and it shall not be quenched?
00:21:43.97\00:21:47.70
Quench is a verb.
It means to extinguish.
00:21:47.74\00:21:50.91
Let me see if I
can illustrate this.
00:21:50.94\00:21:52.31
And I know you might
get it on the screen.
00:21:52.34\00:21:55.14
It's gonna be far
away for some of you here.
00:21:55.18\00:21:57.21
It's a regular pack of matches.
00:21:57.25\00:21:58.78
I was surprised I found this.
00:21:58.81\00:21:59.91
Best Western,
probably 30 years old.
00:21:59.95\00:22:02.35
(congregation laughs)
00:22:02.38\00:22:04.02
And I got a match here.
00:22:04.05\00:22:05.55
And I can do this
very carefully here.
00:22:06.76\00:22:10.13
All right, no Fire
Marshall present, I hope.
00:22:11.46\00:22:15.03
(match scratches)
00:22:15.06\00:22:17.03
All right, this is a match.
00:22:17.07\00:22:18.57
Now I am gonna do my
best not to quench this match,
00:22:18.60\00:22:23.10
but this match is gonna be
burned with unquenchable fire.
00:22:24.51\00:22:26.27
So here it is. It's burning.
00:22:27.54\00:22:28.74
I feel it. It's very real.
00:22:28.78\00:22:30.28
Woo! (congregation laughs)
00:22:34.82\00:22:38.09
Ouch.
00:22:39.19\00:22:40.22
(congregation laughs)
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.49
I'm not gonna quench it.
00:22:41.52\00:22:43.53
You can't make me quench it.
00:22:43.56\00:22:45.13
I refuse to quench it.
00:22:46.06\00:22:47.50
What happened?
00:22:48.83\00:22:50.27
- [Congregation] It quenched.
00:22:50.30\00:22:51.63
- Did I quench it?
00:22:51.67\00:22:52.47
- [Congregation] No.
00:22:52.50\00:22:53.97
- Quench is a verb.
00:22:54.00\00:22:55.37
Are there any
firemen in Hell quenching?
00:22:55.40\00:22:58.47
(congregation laughs)
00:22:58.51\00:22:59.24
No.
00:22:59.27\00:23:00.48
The fire of Hell
is gonna do its work
00:23:00.51\00:23:02.14
with an unquenchable fire.
00:23:02.18\00:23:03.41
No one can extinguish it.
00:23:03.45\00:23:05.15
Typically when something catches
on fire in our communities,
00:23:05.18\00:23:07.78
we send fire people
and they try to quench it.
00:23:07.82\00:23:10.52
Will there be anyone
to do that in Heaven?
00:23:10.55\00:23:12.92
Or Hell is what
I'm talking about.
00:23:12.95\00:23:14.86
Let's get those
subjects straight. (laughs)
00:23:14.89\00:23:16.76
(congregation laughs)
00:23:16.79\00:23:19.63
When Revelation 20:10 says that
00:23:19.66\00:23:21.60
the wicked will be
tormented forever and ever,
00:23:21.63\00:23:23.87
doesn't that
indicate endless time?
00:23:23.90\00:23:26.20
Let the Bible interpret itself.
00:23:26.23\00:23:28.67
Does that sound fair?
00:23:28.70\00:23:29.74
- [Congregation Member] Yes.
00:23:29.77\00:23:30.97
- [Doug] Let's
look at another verse.
00:23:31.01\00:23:32.27
Jonah 2:6:
00:23:32.31\00:23:34.24
The Earth with her bars
closed behind me forever.
00:23:34.28\00:23:38.55
How long?
00:23:38.58\00:23:39.81
- [Congregation]
Forever. - Forever.
00:23:39.85\00:23:41.28
How long was Jonah in
the big fish or the whale?
00:23:41.32\00:23:43.89
- [Congregation
Member] Three days.
00:23:43.92\00:23:45.09
- And Jonah was in
the belly of the fish
00:23:45.12\00:23:46.52
three days and three nights.
00:23:46.55\00:23:48.09
And I thought before, "That
probably felt like forever."
00:23:48.12\00:23:51.23
Not only was
maybe Jonah on the menu,
00:23:52.43\00:23:53.96
but he could have
had appetizers that were
00:23:54.00\00:23:55.96
stinging jelly fish
and squid and sea urchins
00:23:56.00\00:24:00.04
or something in there.
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.44
And he's in there with
all these things flashing
00:24:01.47\00:24:02.37
and the stomach acid of a fish.
00:24:02.40\00:24:04.14
That'd be awful.
00:24:04.17\00:24:05.77
Three days and three nights.
00:24:05.81\00:24:07.01
No watch to see how
much time had passed.
00:24:07.04\00:24:08.38
Probably felt like forever.
00:24:08.41\00:24:09.78
And the
sufferings of the wicked.
00:24:10.91\00:24:12.48
Think about it.
00:24:12.51\00:24:13.98
For the wicked who know
that they've lost eternal life,
00:24:14.02\00:24:15.92
their final thought
becomes an eternal thought
00:24:15.95\00:24:18.82
that they
missed out on eternity.
00:24:20.19\00:24:21.82
Read in Revelation 14:11:
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.93
The smoke of their torment
ascends up forever and ever.
00:24:25.96\00:24:28.36
These are the verses
that people often use.
00:24:28.40\00:24:30.63
When it says the smoke
ascends up forever and ever,
00:24:30.67\00:24:33.30
have you ever
used the expression,
00:24:33.34\00:24:34.50
"Well, I haven't
seen them in forever?"
00:24:34.54\00:24:36.91
Is it literally forever
or is it a figure of speech?
00:24:36.94\00:24:39.01
It's called hyperbole.
00:24:39.04\00:24:40.14
And so the Lord
is saying that here.
00:24:41.34\00:24:42.41
You have to look at the context.
00:24:42.44\00:24:44.31
So what does the expression
forever and ever mean?
00:24:44.35\00:24:46.95
Let the Bible explain it.
00:24:47.82\00:24:49.02
Look for
instance in Exodus 21:6.
00:24:49.05\00:24:51.69
If a servant loved his master,
00:24:51.72\00:24:53.89
even after six years where
he would be allowed to go free,
00:24:53.92\00:24:57.99
he went through a ritual
00:24:58.03\00:24:59.56
and the Bible says he
will stay with his master
00:24:59.59\00:25:02.00
and serve him forever.
00:25:02.03\00:25:04.40
Well, forever there
meant until he died.
00:25:04.43\00:25:06.70
Didn't mean that in Heaven
00:25:06.74\00:25:07.97
he's gonna still
be serving his master.
00:25:08.00\00:25:09.90
Forever had an
end, with his death.
00:25:11.04\00:25:13.54
Samuel, 1 Samuel 1:22.
00:25:13.58\00:25:16.31
When his mother
brought him to the temple
00:25:16.34\00:25:18.25
to serve in the temple, it said
there he will abide forever.
00:25:18.28\00:25:22.75
Well, is he still there today?
00:25:22.78\00:25:23.92
- [Congregation Member] No.
00:25:23.95\00:25:25.15
- [Doug] No. It
meant as long as he lived.
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.29
You still with me?
00:25:27.32\00:25:28.12
- [Congregation] Yes.
00:25:28.16\00:25:29.52
- And you look also
again in 1 Samuel 1:28,
00:25:29.56\00:25:31.96
it tells us how long it was.
00:25:31.99\00:25:33.86
He'll serve forever.
00:25:33.90\00:25:35.06
And then it says
as long as he lives.
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.07
The people who are
cast into the Lake of Fire
00:25:37.10\00:25:39.37
are punished varying amounts
based on what they deserve.
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.54
But they will ultimately
be burned up, the Bible says.
00:25:42.57\00:25:45.24
Bible says burned up.
00:25:45.27\00:25:46.64
No more root, no
more branches, ashes.
00:25:46.68\00:25:49.91
You will go forth
from the New Jerusalem,
00:25:49.94\00:25:51.51
you will tread upon the wicked
00:25:51.55\00:25:52.78
for they are ashes
under the souls of your feet.
00:25:52.81\00:25:55.28
Also in Malachi.
00:25:55.32\00:25:56.15
Forever and ever is
a biblical expression
00:25:57.59\00:25:59.39
which means until
the end of the age.
00:25:59.42\00:26:01.76
It's not necessarily an
infinite, unending length of
00:26:01.79\00:26:05.39
time. Praise God for that.
00:26:05.43\00:26:06.49
- [Congregation Member] Amen.
00:26:06.53\00:26:07.76
- [Doug] After sin
and sinners are destroyed,
00:26:07.76\00:26:09.93
what will Jesus
do for His people?
00:26:09.96\00:26:12.63
This is a
beautiful message, friends.
00:26:12.67\00:26:14.57
Nevertheless, we,
according to His promise,
00:26:14.60\00:26:17.71
look for a new
heavens and a new Earth
00:26:17.74\00:26:20.71
in which dwells righteousness.
00:26:20.74\00:26:23.65
And God will wipe away
every tear from their eyes
00:26:23.68\00:26:27.52
and there'll be no more death.
00:26:27.55\00:26:29.45
How much death?
00:26:29.48\00:26:30.85
- [Congregation] No more.
00:26:30.89\00:26:31.69
- No sorrow nor crying.
00:26:31.72\00:26:34.39
There shall be no more pain.
00:26:34.42\00:26:38.59
How could God say there,
"All things are made new,
00:26:38.63\00:26:41.76
"former things are passed
away, all things are made new,"
00:26:41.80\00:26:44.43
if there's
immortalized old sinners?
00:26:44.47\00:26:47.00
How can He say,
"There'll be no more pain,"
00:26:47.04\00:26:49.44
if you've got
this chasm somewhere
00:26:49.47\00:26:51.54
where you've got
ostensibly billions of people?
00:26:51.57\00:26:55.01
'Cause we all know more
people are lost than saved.
00:26:55.04\00:26:57.68
Do you know that?
00:26:57.71\00:26:58.91
Wide is the gate
that goes to destruction,
00:26:58.95\00:27:01.22
narrow is the way
that leads to life,
00:27:01.25\00:27:03.08
and few there be that find it.
00:27:03.12\00:27:05.15
And the idea that God would
take most of the human race
00:27:05.19\00:27:07.72
and put them in a torture
chamber for ceaseless ages,
00:27:07.76\00:27:10.49
screaming in agony and
God says, "No more pain."
00:27:10.53\00:27:13.36
No. There will be a
new universe that is pure.
00:27:14.50\00:27:17.07
There will be no more pain.
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.17
