THINGS THAT SHOULD SOBER US UP.
00:00:13.63\00:00:16.36
I THINK IF A PERSON IS
ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION,
00:00:16.36\00:00:19.10
THEY SHOULD NOT BE AT PEACE.

TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:45.23\00:00:48.10
THE "HERE WE STAND" SERIES.
00:00:48.10\00:00:50.96
>> NOW OUR MESSAGE TONIGHT
IS CALLED "THE RICH MAN AND
00:00:55.10\00:00:58.96
LAZARUS," AND IT'S BASED ON
A PARABLE THAT IS ONLY FOUND
00:00:58.96\00:01:02.66
ONE TIME IN THE BIBLE.
00:01:02.66\00:01:04.63
IF YOU'D LIKE TO TURN IN
YOUR BIBLES TO THIS PARABLE,
00:01:04.63\00:01:07.20
IT'S IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE.
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.90
LUKE 16 AND IT
BEGINS WITH VERSE 19.
00:01:08.90\00:01:14.90
"THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN
WHO WAS CLOTHED IN PURPLE AND
00:01:14.90\00:01:18.56
FINE LINEN AND HE FARED--OR
FEASTED SUMPTUOUSLY EVERY DAY.
00:01:18.56\00:01:23.66
AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN BEGGAR
NAMED LAZARUS FULL OF SORES WHO
00:01:23.66\00:01:28.46
WAS LAID AT HIS GATE DESIRING TO
BE FED WITH THE CRUMBS THAT FELL
00:01:28.46\00:01:32.40
FROM THE RICH MAN'S TABLE.
00:01:32.40\00:01:34.46
MOREOVER, THE DOGS
CAME AND LICKED HIS SORES.
00:01:34.46\00:01:37.53
SO IT WAS THAT THE BEGGAR DIED
AND WAS CARRIED BY THE ANGELS
00:01:37.53\00:01:40.96
TO ABRAHAM'S BOSOM.
00:01:40.96\00:01:42.96
THE RICH MAN ALSO
DIED AND WAS BURIED.
00:01:42.96\00:01:46.20
AND BEING IN TORMENTS IN HADES,
HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES AND HE SAW
00:01:46.20\00:01:50.70
ABRAHAM AFAR OFF,
AND LAZARUS IN HIS BOSOM.
00:01:50.70\00:01:54.26
AND HE CRIED AND HE SAID,
'FATHER, ABRAHAM HAVE MERCY ON
00:01:54.26\00:01:57.20
ME AND SEND LAZARUS THAT HE
MIGHT DIP THE TIP OF HIS FINGER
00:01:57.20\00:02:00.96
IN WATER AND COOL MY TONGUE FOR
I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.'
00:02:00.96\00:02:05.16
BUT ABRAHAM SAID, 'SON, REMEMBER
THAT YOU IN YOUR LIFETIME
00:02:05.16\00:02:08.56
RECEIVED YOUR GOOD THINGS AND
LIKEWISE LAZARUS EVIL THINGS,
00:02:08.56\00:02:11.93
BUT NOW HE IS
COMFORTED AND YOU ARE TORMENTED.
00:02:11.93\00:02:14.93
AND BESIDES ALL THIS BETWEEN
US AND YOU THERE IS A GREAT GULF
00:02:14.93\00:02:17.93
FIXED SO THAT THOSE WHO WANT TO
PASS FROM HERE TO YOU CANNOT NOR
00:02:17.93\00:02:21.83
CAN THOSE PASS
TO US FROM THERE.'
00:02:21.83\00:02:25.43
THEN HE SAID, 'I BEG YOU
THEREFORE MY FATHER, THAT YOU
00:02:25.43\00:02:27.83
WOULD SEND HIM TO MY FATHER'S
HOUSE FOR I'VE GOT FIVE BRETHREN
00:02:27.83\00:02:31.76
THAT HE MIGHT TESTIFY TO
THEM LEST THEY ALSO COME TO
00:02:31.76\00:02:34.83
THIS PLACE OF TORMENT.'
AND ABRAHAM SAID TO HIM, 'THEY
00:02:34.83\00:02:39.30
HAVE MOSES AND THE PROPHETS.
00:02:39.30\00:02:40.90
LET THEM HEAR THEM.'
AND HE SAID, 'NO, FATHER
00:02:40.90\00:02:45.56
ABRAHAM, BUT IF ONE GOES TO THEM
FROM THE DEAD, THEY'LL REPENT.'
00:02:45.56\00:02:49.36
BUT HE SAID TO HIM, 'IF THEY DO
NOT HEAR MOSES AND THE PROPHETS,
00:02:49.36\00:02:52.86
NEITHER WILL THEY BE
PERSUADED THOUGH ONE SHOULD RISE
00:02:52.86\00:02:56.13
FROM THE DEAD.'"
NOW THAT'S THE PARABLE.
00:02:56.13\00:03:00.43
MANY PEOPLE HAVE READ THIS
PARABLE, AND IT IS ONE OF THE
00:03:00.43\00:03:04.10
EXAMPLES OF WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE
OR MISUNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT
00:03:04.10\00:03:09.83
OF HELL.
00:03:09.83\00:03:10.70
NOW LET ME JUST TELL
YOU VERY QUICKLY, ONE OF
00:03:10.70\00:03:14.80
THE UNIQUE TEACHINGS OF THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST MOVEMENT
00:03:14.80\00:03:17.66
IS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED AND
00:03:17.66\00:03:22.10
THE REWARDS CONNECTED WITH THAT.
00:03:22.10\00:03:26.30
TYPICAL AMONG MANY CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES IS THE BELIEF THAT
00:03:26.30\00:03:28.90
IF YOU'RE GOOD, YOU
DIE, YOU GO RIGHT TO HEAVEN.
00:03:28.90\00:03:31.73
IF YOU'RE BAD,
YOU DIE, YOU GO WHERE?
00:03:31.73\00:03:34.66
YEAH, YOU GO TO THAT PLACE
SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT SURE IF WE
00:03:34.66\00:03:37.46
CAN SAY THE WORD "HELL"
'CAUSE IN SOME CONTEXT IT SOUNDS
00:03:37.46\00:03:39.76
LIKE CURSING, BUT
IT IS A BIBLICAL WORD.
00:03:39.76\00:03:43.06
AND THERE YOU WILL BURN, AND
YOU'LL BURN FOREVER AND EVER.
00:03:43.06\00:03:48.93
AND WHEN PEOPLE BEGIN TO LEARN
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS ABOUT
00:03:48.93\00:03:52.40
THIS SUBJECT, THEY OFTEN
RUN BACK TO THE PARABLE OF THE
00:03:52.40\00:03:56.53
RICH MAN AND LAZARUS.
00:03:56.53\00:03:58.10
NOW I WANTED TO START OUT BY
SHARING WITH YOU WHAT THIS DOES
00:03:58.10\00:04:02.06
NOT MEAN, AND THEN I'M
GONNA TALK TO YOU AND TELL YOU
00:04:02.06\00:04:04.36
ABOUT WHAT IT DOES MEAN.
00:04:04.36\00:04:07.03
FIRST OF ALL, IT IS A PARABLE.
00:04:07.03\00:04:08.93
IT'S IN A SERIES OF PARABLES
THAT JESUS IS USING TO SEND
00:04:08.93\00:04:12.43
A VERY SPECIFIC MESSAGE.
00:04:12.43\00:04:14.93
ONE WAY THAT WE KNOW IT'S
A PARABLE, JUST ASK YOURSELF
00:04:14.93\00:04:17.06
SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
00:04:17.06\00:04:18.60
IT SAYS THAT THE RICH MAN WAS IN
TORMENT, AND HE WAS ASKING THAT
00:04:18.60\00:04:25.66
HIS TONGUE COULD BE
COOLED WITH A DROP OF WATER.
00:04:25.66\00:04:29.76
WOULD A DROP OF WATER
REALLY COOL YOU IN HELL?
00:04:29.76\00:04:33.46
HOW MUCH GOOD WOULD THAT DO?
00:04:33.46\00:04:34.80
I MEAN, IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNING
RADIATOR, HOW MUCH GOOD IS ONE
00:04:34.80\00:04:37.23
DROP OF WATER?
00:04:37.23\00:04:39.56
SECONDLY IT SAYS THAT LAZARUS
DIED AND HE IS CARRIED TO
00:04:39.56\00:04:43.76
ABRAHAM'S BOSOM.
00:04:43.76\00:04:45.43
DO WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY
GOOD PERSON THAT DIES IS WHISKED
00:04:45.43\00:04:51.13
BY THE ANGELS TO A HOLDING
PLACE SOMEWHERE ON THE BOSOM OF
00:04:51.13\00:04:56.33
ABRAHAM?
00:04:56.33\00:04:57.83
IS THAT LITERAL OR IS
THAT OBVIOUSLY A FIGURE?
00:04:57.83\00:05:02.10
FURTHERMORE DO WE BELIEVE THAT
THE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN AND HELL
00:05:02.10\00:05:06.73
ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
DIALOGUE THROUGH ETERNITY?
00:05:06.73\00:05:11.00
WHAT KIND OF HORRIFIC PICTURE
WOULD THAT BE IF THE SAVED ARE
00:05:11.00\00:05:14.66
ABLE TO LOOK OFF AS ABRAHAM
DID AND SEE THE LOST BLISTERING
00:05:14.66\00:05:20.50
IN TORMENT?
00:05:20.50\00:05:22.86
WHY DID JESUS TELL THIS PARABLE?
00:05:22.86\00:05:25.96
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S
EXPLAIN THE WORD THAT'S USED
00:05:25.96\00:05:28.16
THERE FOR HELL.
00:05:28.16\00:05:29.16
IT'S FROM A GREEK WORD HADES AND
IT COMES FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY.
00:05:29.16\00:05:35.23
SO WHEN JESUS IS BEGINNING
TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH THE
00:05:35.23\00:05:38.20
JEWISH PEOPLE, THIS PARABLE,
AS SOON AS HE SAYS THE WORD
00:05:38.20\00:05:42.30
"HADES," THE LISTENERS
THERE UNDERSTOOD HE WAS SPEAKING
00:05:42.30\00:05:46.96
IN METAPHORS.
00:05:46.96\00:05:48.76
NOW SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT SO
MUCH TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT
00:05:48.76\00:05:51.80
THIS DOESN'T MEAN, THEY
FORGET WHAT IT REALLY DOES MEAN.
00:05:51.80\00:05:54.66
LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT IT IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:05:54.66\00:05:57.06
THAT RICH MAN REPRESENTED,
AT THE TIME, THE JEWISH NATION.
00:05:57.06\00:06:01.30
TODAY IT REPRESENTS THE CHURCH
FEASTING ON THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:06:01.30\00:06:06.23
WHILE AROUND THEM THE GENTILES
WERE STARVING FOR THE CRUMBS
00:06:06.23\00:06:09.60
OF TRUTH THAT
FELL FROM THEIR TABLES.
00:06:09.60\00:06:13.33
AND YET, IT WAS THE ATTITUDE
OF MANY IN THE CHURCH THEN
00:06:13.33\00:06:15.43
AS IT IS TODAY.
00:06:15.43\00:06:16.73
"WE'RE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.
00:06:16.73\00:06:18.03
WE'VE GOT THE
TRUTH, LET'S FEAST."
00:06:18.03\00:06:19.66
AND ON THEIR WAY TO CHURCH, THEY
WOULD WALK BY THIS POOR BEGGAR
00:06:19.66\00:06:23.13
WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN SATISFIED
WITH THE CRUMBS THAT FELL FROM
00:06:23.13\00:06:26.10
THEIR TABLE.
00:06:26.10\00:06:27.36
AND THE ONLY COMFORT HE GOT WAS
THE DOGS THAT CAME TO LICK THEIR
00:06:27.36\00:06:29.66
SORES.
00:06:29.66\00:06:30.50
YOU REMEMBER ONE TIME THE BIBLE
TELLS A STORY ABOUT A GENTILE
00:06:30.50\00:06:34.13
WOMAN WHO CAME TO
JESUS AND SAID, "PLEASE,
00:06:34.13\00:06:36.30
HEAL MY DAUGHTER."
00:06:36.30\00:06:38.16
AND HE SAID IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE
TO TAKE THE CHILDREN'S FOOD
00:06:38.16\00:06:41.10
AND GIVE IT TO THE DOGS.
00:06:41.10\00:06:43.70
AND SHE SAID, "YES, BUT
EVEN THE DOGS GET THE CRUMBS."
00:06:43.70\00:06:47.46
VERY SAME WORDS THAT WERE USED.
00:06:47.46\00:06:50.50
AND SO WHEN THEY DIE, SURPRISE
OF SURPRISES, LAZARUS IS IN
00:06:50.50\00:06:58.10
ABRAHAM'S BOSOM WHERE
EVERY JEW WANTED TO BE.
00:06:58.10\00:07:01.36
AND THE RICH MAN, HE'S WHERE
HE THOUGHT THE GREEK CONCEPT OF
00:07:01.36\00:07:04.83
PUNISHMENT WAS GOING TO HADES,
AND THERE'S THIS TREMENDOUS
00:07:04.83\00:07:08.50
REVERSAL OF ROLES.
00:07:08.50\00:07:13.46
AND SO THE RICH MAN IS
SAYING, "FATHER ABRAHAM."
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.13
THE VERY FACT HE'S SAYING,
"FATHER ABRAHAM" SHOWS THERE'S
00:07:16.13\00:07:17.80
A RELATIONSHIP, RIGHT?
00:07:17.80\00:07:19.50
IT'S A SYMBOL OF
THE JEWISH NATION.
00:07:19.50\00:07:21.20
DIDN'T JESUS SAY OVER AND OVER,
"MANY WILL COME FROM THE EAST
00:07:21.20\00:07:24.66
AND THE WEST AND SIT DOWN
IN THE KINGDOM WITH ABRAHAM,
00:07:24.66\00:07:26.96
ISAAC AND JACOB?"
00:07:26.96\00:07:28.26
AND THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM,
THE CHURCH MEMBERS WHO AREN'T
00:07:28.26\00:07:31.10
SHARING THEIR FAITH, THEY'RE
IN OUTER DARKNESS WHERE THERE'S
00:07:31.10\00:07:34.03
WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
00:07:34.03\00:07:35.43
PEOPLE MISS THE REAL MESSAGE
IS A VERY SOBERING MESSAGE.
00:07:35.43\00:07:40.03
GOD HAS GIVEN US SO
MANY BLESSINGS IN THE TRUTH.
00:07:40.03\00:07:42.66
IN AMERICA HE'S GIVEN US SO MANY
MATERIAL BLESSINGS AND SO MUCH
00:07:42.66\00:07:45.73
OF THE WORLD IS STRUGGLING
AND STARVING FOR THE CRUMBS THAT
00:07:45.73\00:07:49.20
FALL FROM OUR TABLE.
00:07:49.20\00:07:50.93
AND THE LORD IS WARNING US
THAT HE GIVES US THE BLESSINGS
00:07:50.93\00:07:53.83
WHETHER THEY'RE SPIRITUAL
OR TANGIBLE TO SHARE, AMEN?
00:07:53.83\00:07:57.73
THAT'S THE MESSAGE.
00:07:57.73\00:07:58.66
HE'S NOT TELLING US PEOPLE IN
HEAVEN AND HELL ARE GONNA TALK
00:07:58.66\00:08:00.53
TO EACH OTHER.
00:08:00.53\00:08:03.16
NOW OUR SUBJECT TODAY IS DEALING
WITH THE SUBJECT OF HELL AND
00:08:03.16\00:08:07.66
THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:08:07.66\00:08:09.33
THE BIBLE DOES TELL
US IN 2 THESSALONIANS
00:08:09.33\00:08:11.66
THAT WHEN THE LORD
COMES, THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED
00:08:11.66\00:08:15.03
BY THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
00:08:15.03\00:08:16.80
BUT THAT'S NOT HELL.
00:08:16.80\00:08:19.56
SOME PEOPLE HAVE FALSELY ACCUSED
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS
00:08:19.56\00:08:22.60
OF NOT BELIEVING IN HELL.
00:08:22.60\00:08:25.06
WE VERY MUCH BELIEVE IN
WHAT PEOPLE CALL HELL OR
00:08:25.06\00:08:27.80
THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.60
THERE IS A PLACE
WHERE THE WICKED DO BURN.
00:08:29.60\00:08:31.63
WHERE THERE'S CONFUSION IS WHEN
ARE THEY BURNING AND WHAT IT IS.
00:08:31.63\00:08:37.53
A LOT OF MYTHOLOGY HAS COME
INTO THE CHURCH OVER THE YEARS
00:08:37.53\00:08:40.13
REGARDING THIS SUBJECT.
00:08:40.13\00:08:41.63
WELL, I'M GONNA GO TO QUESTION
NUMBER ONE IN OUR STUDY, AND
00:08:41.63\00:08:44.53
I HOPE YOU'VE GOT YOUR PENCILS
HANDY BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE
00:08:44.53\00:08:49.66
GONNA SEE A LOT OF REVERENCES
AND I WANT YOU TO JOT THESE
00:08:49.66\00:08:51.90
DOWN.
00:08:51.90\00:08:53.23
WON'T BE ABLE TO COVER THEM ALL.
00:08:53.23\00:08:54.60
NUMBER ONE, DO PEOPLE DIE
AND GO RIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL?
00:08:54.60\00:08:58.93
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:08:58.93\00:08:59.93
HOW MANY LOST SOULS ARE BURNING
OR BEING PUNISHED IN HELL TODAY?
00:08:59.93\00:09:05.36
I BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS, IF YOU LOOK IN 2 PETER 2:9
00:09:05.36\00:09:10.56
IT SAYS, "THE LORD KNOWS
HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF
00:09:10.56\00:09:14.46
TEMPTATION AND TO
RESERVE THE UNJUST TO THE DAY OF
00:09:14.46\00:09:19.76
JUDGMENT TO BE PUNISHED."
00:09:19.76\00:09:23.06
WHEN ARE THEY PUNISHED?
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.46
WHAT DID PETER SAY?
00:09:24.46\00:09:26.96
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:09:26.96\00:09:27.86
HAS THAT HAPPENED YET,
THE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY?
00:09:27.86\00:09:30.73
NO.
00:09:30.73\00:09:31.70
THAT IS STILL IN THE FUTURE
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE PETER,
00:09:31.70\00:09:34.00
LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAYS
IN JOHN 12:48, "THE WORD THAT
00:09:34.00\00:09:38.06
I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL
JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY."
00:09:38.06\00:09:43.56
WHEN?
00:09:43.56\00:09:44.46
THE LAST DAY.
00:09:44.46\00:09:45.93
ONE MORE TIME, QUESTION NUMBER
TWO, "WHEN EXACTLY WILL SINNERS
00:09:45.93\00:09:51.90
BE CAST INTO HELLFIRE?"
00:09:51.90\00:09:54.46
HAS IT HAPPENED ALREADY?
00:09:54.46\00:09:56.63
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW IN
THE BIBLE IF YOU GO TO MARK 13
00:09:56.63\00:09:59.43
YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER
PARABLE JESUS TOLD?
00:09:59.43\00:10:02.00
AND THESE PARABLES ARE
THERE FOR TEACHING PRINCIPLES?
00:10:02.00\00:10:05.23
AND IT'S THE PARABLE OF THE
WHEAT AND THE TARES AND HE TALKS
00:10:05.23\00:10:09.76
ABOUT THIS MAN WHO PLANTED GOOD
WHEAT IN HIS FIELD AND AN ENEMY
00:10:09.76\00:10:13.43
CAME AND HE SOWED.
00:10:13.43\00:10:14.50
WEEDS, THAT'S WHAT TARES WERE,
AND THEY WERE FINALLY SEPARATED
00:10:14.50\00:10:18.66
AT THE END.
00:10:18.66\00:10:20.20
AND JESUS THEN EXPLAINING
THE PARABLE, AND YOU CAN'T
00:10:20.20\00:10:22.90
GET MIXED UP IF JESUS
EXPLAINS THE PARABLE, AMEN?
00:10:22.90\00:10:26.00
SOMETIMES WE TRY TO
TAKE THESE THINGS LITERALLY,
00:10:26.00\00:10:28.06
WE GET MIXED UP.
00:10:28.06\00:10:28.83
CHRIST EXPLAINS THE PARABLE
AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS,
00:10:28.83\00:10:31.73
MATTHEW 13:40.
00:10:31.73\00:10:34.13
"AS THEREFORE THE TARES ARE
GATHERED AND BURNED IN THE FIRE.
00:10:34.13\00:10:38.53
SO SHALL IT BE IN
THE END OF THE WORLD."
00:10:38.53\00:10:44.06
WHEN?
00:10:44.06\00:10:45.13
SAY IT WITH ME,
"THE END OF THE WORLD.
00:10:45.13\00:10:49.03
THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH
HIS ANGELS, AND THEY WILL GATHER
00:10:49.03\00:10:53.03
TOGETHER THEN WHICH DO INIQUITY
AND THEY SHALL CAST THEM INTO
00:10:53.03\00:10:56.53
A FURNACE OF FIRE."
00:10:56.53\00:10:58.13
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH HELLFIRE?
00:10:58.13\00:11:00.33
YES.
00:11:00.33\00:11:01.30
ARE PEOPLE
BURNING IN HELLFIRE NOW?
00:11:01.30\00:11:04.26
NO.
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.40
THERE ARE VERY FEW SUBJECTS
IN WHICH THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS
00:11:05.40\00:11:09.46
MORE MIXED UP THAN THIS SUBJECT.
00:11:09.46\00:11:11.23
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOT
THIS IDEA THAT WAY DOWN YONDER
00:11:11.23\00:11:14.73
IS THIS CAVERNOUS
PLACE CALLED HELL.
00:11:14.73\00:11:18.33
IT'S IN THE, YOU KNOW, AND SOME
OF THE ANCIENTS, THEY COULD SEE
00:11:18.33\00:11:21.46
STEAM COMING OUT OF THE GROUND
WHERE THERE FOR GEYSERS AND
00:11:21.46\00:11:24.23
EVERY NOW AND THEN A VOLCANO
WOULD ERUPT NOT FAR FROM ROME,
00:11:24.23\00:11:27.30
IN FACT.
00:11:27.30\00:11:28.16
AND THE IDEA THAT THEY KNEW
MOLTEN WAS DOWN INTO THE EARTH
00:11:28.16\00:11:31.16
SOMEWHERE AND THEY SAID
THAT'S COMING UP FROM THE DEVIL.
00:11:31.16\00:11:34.06
AND NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE
THESE FABLES ABOUT HELL BEING
00:11:34.06\00:11:40.66
DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE, I MEAN,
THE IDEA IS IF YOU'RE GOOD,
00:11:40.66\00:11:44.90
YOU GO IN THAT DIRECTION.
00:11:44.90\00:11:46.10
IF YOU'RE BAD, YOU GO
THAT DIRECTION, RIGHT?
00:11:46.10\00:11:48.80
BUT THEIR IDEA ABOUT THE DEVIL
HIMSELF, THAT HE'S IN CHARGE
00:11:48.80\00:11:52.60
OF HELL.
00:11:52.60\00:11:54.13
SO MANY MISCONCEPTIONS.
00:11:54.13\00:11:55.93
"WHERE ARE
SINNERS-- WHO HAVE DIED--NOW?"
00:11:55.93\00:12:01.16
THE LOST WHO HAVE
DIED, WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
00:12:01.16\00:12:05.16
THIS IS A BIG QUESTION.
00:12:05.16\00:12:06.46
JOHN 5:28-29, "THE HOUR IS
COMING, IN WHICH ALL THAT ARE
00:12:06.46\00:12:12.80
IN THEIR
GRAVES--" WHERE ARE THEY?
00:12:12.80\00:12:15.80
"IN THEIR GRAVES--" BY
THE WAY, THESE ARE THE WORDS
00:12:15.80\00:12:18.13
OF JESUS.
00:12:18.13\00:12:18.90
IF YOU HAD A RED-LETTER EDITION
BIBLE, I'D HAVE 'EM IN RED.
00:12:18.90\00:12:22.83
JESUS SAID
THEY'RE IN THEIR GRAVES.
00:12:22.83\00:12:24.73
HE SAID IT IS COMING.
00:12:24.73\00:12:25.73
DOES HE SAY IT HAPPENED YET?
00:12:25.73\00:12:27.10
FUTURE TENSE, THEY
WILL HEAR HIS VOICE.
00:12:27.10\00:12:29.96
JOB 21:30-32,
"THE WICKED IS RESERVED
00:12:29.96\00:12:34.80
TO THE DAY OF DESTRUCTION.
00:12:34.80\00:12:37.16
YET, HE WILL BE
BROUGHT TO THE GRAVE AND REMAIN
00:12:37.16\00:12:39.73
IN THE TOMB."
00:12:39.73\00:12:41.26
THEY'RE BEING HELD THERE.
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.03
THEY ARE RESERVED.
00:12:43.03\00:12:44.23
THEY'RE NOT BURNING IN HELL NOW.
00:12:44.23\00:12:47.36
I THINK THIS IS SO
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
00:12:47.36\00:12:51.13
YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN NEARLY DRIVEN INSANE?
00:12:51.13\00:12:54.80
I'M SURE SOME HAVE BEEN DRIVEN
INSANE BY THE IDEA THAT SOME OF
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.90
THEIR LOVED ONES HAD DIED IN A
LOST CONDITION, WENT RIGHT DOWN
00:12:57.90\00:13:02.16
TO THIS PLACE OF TORMENT.
00:13:02.16\00:13:05.20
AND MAYBE I SHOULD BACK UP AND
REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ON WHAT THE
00:13:05.20\00:13:07.93
TRADITIONAL VIEW IS AMONG
MANY CHRISTIANS REGARDING HELL.
00:13:07.93\00:13:11.96
MY FATHER WAS A BAPTIST.
00:13:11.96\00:13:13.90
FIRST TIME I WAS BAPTIZED, IT
WAS BAPTISTS THAT BAPTIZED ME,
00:13:13.90\00:13:17.90
AND I KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK.
00:13:17.90\00:13:19.90
THE IDEA WAS THAT IF YOU DIE,
YOU GO DOWN TO HELL AND WHAT
00:13:19.90\00:13:24.26
HELL IS, IT IS PLACE OF BURNING
SULFUR AND BRIMSTONE WHERE YOU
00:13:24.26\00:13:28.96
BURN THERE IN BODILY FORM AND
SOUL FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
00:13:28.96\00:13:36.60
AND SOME OF THE ANCIENT
PREACHERS WOULD WAX VERY
00:13:36.60\00:13:38.66
ELOQUENT IN DESCRIBING THE
MISERIES OF HELL, AND THEY'D
00:13:38.66\00:13:43.30
TALK ABOUT FOLKS WHO ARE
SWIMMING THROUGH THE MOLTEN
00:13:43.30\00:13:46.00
FIRE, BLISTERING AND SCREECHING
IN AGONY, AND THEY WOULD SWIM TO
00:13:46.00\00:13:50.50
THE SURFACE AND MANAGE TO
GET THEIR HEADS JUST ABOVE
00:13:50.50\00:13:53.10
THE BUBBLING, MOLTEN BRIMSTONE.
00:13:53.10\00:13:55.53
AND THEY'D CALL
OUT, "LORD, HOW LONG?"
00:13:55.53\00:13:57.53
AND HE'D SAY,
"YOU'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN."
00:13:57.53\00:14:00.06
AND A MILLION YEARS
LATER, THEY'D COME BACK UP
00:14:00.06\00:14:02.03
AND ASK AGAIN.
00:14:02.03\00:14:02.96
HE'D SAY,
"YOU'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN."
00:14:02.96\00:14:05.20
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE IMAGES.
00:14:05.20\00:14:10.33
AND NOW PICTURE THAT AND
THEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU LOVE
00:14:10.33\00:14:14.20
WHO DIES IN
APPARENTLY A LOST CONDITION.
00:14:14.20\00:14:18.80
THAT COULD REALLY BE DISTURBING.
00:14:18.80\00:14:23.30
IT SHOULD BE COMFORTING TO
PEOPLE TO KNOW, SAVED OR LOST,
00:14:23.30\00:14:26.93
THEY'RE ASLEEP RIGHT NOW.
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.10
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:14:29.10\00:14:31.10
QUESTION NUMBER FOUR,
"WHAT IS THE END RESULT OF SIN?"
00:14:31.10\00:14:37.56
NOW THESE TWO SUBJECTS ON DEATH
AND THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED
00:14:37.56\00:14:41.23
GO HAND IN HAND.
00:14:41.23\00:14:42.26
I TALKED ABOUT DEATH LAST NIGHT.
00:14:42.26\00:14:43.60
JAMES 1:15, "SIN, WHEN IT IS
FINISHED IT BRINGS FORTH," WHAT?
00:14:43.60\00:14:50.23
"DEATH."
00:14:50.23\00:14:51.26
THE RESULT OF SIN IS DEATH.
00:14:51.26\00:14:54.10
YET SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT
THE LOST GO TO HELL AND THEY
00:14:54.10\00:14:57.40
BURN THROUGH CEASELESS AGES.
00:14:57.40\00:14:59.06
THINK ABOUT HOW LONG THAT IS,
A ZILLION YEARS THEORETICALLY,
00:14:59.06\00:15:02.56
STILL SCREAMING IN
AGONY, YOU JUST BEGAN.
00:15:02.56\00:15:06.93
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:15:06.93\00:15:09.10
IT'S MIND BOGGLING WHEN
YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.
00:15:09.10\00:15:11.33
IT JUST SHOULD MAKE YOU SHUTTER.
00:15:11.33\00:15:12.66
YOU KNOW, I GET EXCITED ABOUT
THIS SUBJECT ALMOST MORE THAN
00:15:12.66\00:15:14.73
ELSE I'M GONNA BE PRESENTING,
EXCEPT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S
00:15:14.73\00:15:17.70
SUBJECT, SO YOU
WANT TO COME BACK.
00:15:17.70\00:15:20.66
BECAUSE BEFORE--I WAS
NOT RAISED A CHRISTIAN.
00:15:20.66\00:15:24.33
I DID GO TO SOME
CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS.
00:15:24.33\00:15:28.20
AND WHEN I HEARD THESE THINGS
TAUGHT IN THOSE SCHOOLS, I
00:15:28.20\00:15:32.00
THOUGHT TO MYSELF, GOD IS CRUEL.
00:15:32.00\00:15:35.83
GOD IS SADISTIC.
00:15:35.83\00:15:37.80
I'M EMBARRASSED
TO TELL YOU THAT.
00:15:37.80\00:15:39.53
I DON'T WANT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL
OR BLASPHEMOUS, BUT THESE ARE
00:15:39.53\00:15:41.46
THOUGHTS THAT I HAD.
00:15:41.46\00:15:42.66
I THOUGHT HOW CAN THAT BE JUST
TO TAKE THESE CREATURES THAT
00:15:42.66\00:15:46.26
ARE ALL BORN WITH THIS
NATURAL PROPENSITY TO SIN?
00:15:46.26\00:15:50.03
LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, ANYBODY
HERE YOU DON'T HAVE A NATURAL
00:15:50.03\00:15:52.43
PROPENSITY TO SIN?
00:15:52.43\00:15:54.46
OKAY, THAT'S WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS TOO.
00:15:54.46\00:15:57.23
WE'RE ALL DESPERATELY WICKED.
00:15:57.23\00:15:58.76
MAN, JOB SAYS WE ARE PRONE
TO GET INTO TROUBLE LIKE SPARKS
00:15:58.76\00:16:01.90
GO UP.
00:16:01.90\00:16:03.06
IT'S JUST IN OUR NATURES.
00:16:03.06\00:16:04.30
SO WE'RE BORN WITH THIS NATURAL
PROPENSITY TO SIN AND THEN GOD
00:16:04.30\00:16:07.83
IS GONNA TAKE THESE CREATURES
WHO, FOR WHATEVER REASON, DO NOT
00:16:07.83\00:16:10.80
CAPITALIZE ON HIS GRACE AND THEN
TORTURE THEM THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:16:10.80\00:16:14.83
AND I THOUGHT TO
MYSELF, HE'S MEAN.
00:16:14.83\00:16:17.70
HE'S CRUEL.
00:16:17.70\00:16:18.93
HE'S A SADIST.
00:16:18.93\00:16:19.73
I HATED GOD.
00:16:19.73\00:16:21.63
AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT
THAT BIBLE UP IN THE CAVE AND I
00:16:21.63\00:16:23.73
STARTED READING, I WAS GETTING
A WHOLE DIFFERENT PICTURE GOING
00:16:23.73\00:16:26.26
THROUGH THE BIBLE THAN
WHAT I WAS HEARING PASTORS SAY.
00:16:26.26\00:16:29.30
AND IT WAS LIBERATING TO ME TO
FIND OUT GOD IS LOVE, THAT IT IS
00:16:29.30\00:16:34.66
A BEAUTIFUL TRUTH, THAT
THE REASON I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT
00:16:34.66\00:16:37.70
THIS SUBJECT IS BECAUSE IT
IS DEFAMATION TO THE CHARACTER
00:16:37.70\00:16:42.80
OF GOD TO TEACH
THIS FALSE DOCTRINE.
00:16:42.80\00:16:45.66
AND A LOT OF CHURCHES
AND PASTORS THROUGH HISTORY
00:16:45.66\00:16:48.86
HAVE USED IT TO MANIPULATE
PEOPLE THROUGH FEAR INSTEAD OF
00:16:48.86\00:16:53.00
THE MOTIVE THAT
JESUS USED WHICH WAS LOVE.
00:16:53.00\00:16:56.70
IT IS A FALSE TEACHING
THAT IS USED TO ABUSE PEOPLE.
00:16:56.70\00:17:01.46
JOHN 3:16,
THERE ARE TWO CHOICES.
00:17:01.46\00:17:06.50
JESUS SAID, "THAT
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
00:17:06.50\00:17:09.86
SHOULD NOT PERISH."
00:17:09.86\00:17:11.73
ONE OF YOUR OPTIONS IS WHAT?
00:17:11.73\00:17:13.76
PERISH.
00:17:13.76\00:17:15.16
"BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
00:17:15.16\00:17:17.30
HE DIDN'T SAY YOU CAN CHOOSE
BETWEEN EVERLASTING LIFE AND
00:17:17.30\00:17:19.50
THE FIRE AND EVERLASTING
LIFE AND HEAVEN, DID HE?
00:17:19.50\00:17:22.40
YOU GOT EVERLASTING LIFE
OR PERISH AND IN THE GARDEN
00:17:22.40\00:17:26.00
OF EDEN, WHAT DID
GOD SAY TO ADAM AND EVE?
00:17:26.00\00:17:29.26
YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DISOBEY.
00:17:29.26\00:17:31.36
ROMANS 6:23, "THE WAGES OF SIN
IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD
00:17:31.36\00:17:38.70
IS ETERNAL LIFE
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD."
00:17:38.70\00:17:41.53
WE GOT TWO CHOICES, FRIENDS.
00:17:41.53\00:17:43.23
MOSES, HE SAID, "I SAID BEFORE
YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND GOOD
00:17:43.23\00:17:46.16
AND BLESSINGS OR
DEATH AND EVIL AND CURSINGS.
00:17:46.16\00:17:48.50
IT'S NOT ETERNAL LIFE IN THE
FIRE, ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.
00:17:48.50\00:17:50.90
AND YOU HAVE ALL HEARD PEOPLE
MAKE FUN OF EVEN THE TEACHING
00:17:50.90\00:17:54.80
OF HELL.
00:17:54.80\00:17:55.90
SOME PEOPLE SAY, "YOU
KNOW, I GOT TWO CHOICES.
00:17:55.90\00:17:58.10
I CAN GO TO HEAVEN SIT ON A HARP
AND--" SIT ON A CLOUD, SORRY.
00:17:58.10\00:18:02.10
SIT ON A HARP, THAT'D HURT.
00:18:02.10\00:18:04.76
I CAN GO TO HEAVEN, SIT ON
A CLOUD AND PLAY A HARP AND,
00:18:04.76\00:18:08.86
YOU KNOW, BE THIS
CHUBBY, LITTLE, FAT, NAKED BABY.
00:18:08.86\00:18:12.26
AND PEOPLE GOT THESE MIXED UP.
00:18:12.26\00:18:13.23
OR YOU CAN GO PARTY IN HELL,
AND IT ALMOST MAKES HELL SOUND
00:18:13.23\00:18:16.70
LIKE IT'S WHERE ALL THE
WICKED PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE.
00:18:16.70\00:18:18.96
OH, THAT'S GONNA FUN.
00:18:18.96\00:18:20.20
YOU'VE HEARD THESE
CARTOON ANALOGIES BEING MADE.
00:18:20.20\00:18:24.46
AND PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOU'VE GOT TWO CHOICES,
00:18:24.46\00:18:27.46
LIFE AND DEATH.
00:18:27.46\00:18:29.06
BUT EVERYBODY DOES SUFFER FOR
THEIR SINS THAT ARE NOT FORGIVEN
00:18:29.06\00:18:33.26
AND COVERED BY JESUS.
00:18:33.26\00:18:35.40
THERE IS PUNISHMENT.
00:18:35.40\00:18:36.43
WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE.
00:18:36.43\00:18:37.53
THAT'S WHY GOD SAID TO ADAM
AND EVE, IF THEY DISOBEY THAT
00:18:37.53\00:18:41.06
THEY WOULD DIE AND FURTHERMORE,
THEY WERE EVICTED FROM
00:18:41.06\00:18:44.26
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:18:44.26\00:18:45.36
GENESIS 3:22 GOD SAID, LEST MAN
PUTS OUT HIS HAND AND TAKES FROM
00:18:45.36\00:18:50.06
THE TREE OF LIFE
AND EAT AND, DOES WHAT?
00:18:50.06\00:18:53.00
LIVES FOREVER.
00:18:53.00\00:18:54.23
NOW I'LL TELL YOU WHY THIS
IS SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND.
00:18:54.23\00:18:58.66
WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS,
WOULD YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT HE
00:18:58.66\00:19:02.50
DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD
AND HE TOOK THE PENALTY FOR
00:19:02.50\00:19:06.43
THE SIN?
00:19:06.43\00:19:08.33
OF EVERY SIN YOU'VE EVER
COMMITTED, HE TOOK THAT PENALTY.
00:19:08.33\00:19:11.13
HOW MANY AGREE WITH THAT?
00:19:11.13\00:19:12.53
ALL RIGHT.
00:19:12.53\00:19:13.40
IF THE TEACHING OF EVERLASTING
HELLFIRE IS TRUE, HOW LONG DID
00:19:13.40\00:19:19.46
JESUS STAY ON THE CROSS?
00:19:19.46\00:19:22.16
SEVEN HOURS ON THE CROSS, TWO
NIGHTS IN THE TOMB AND HE ROSE.
00:19:22.16\00:19:30.16
IF THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS
EVERLASTING TORMENT IN SULFUR
00:19:30.16\00:19:34.10
AND BRIMSTONE, HOW COULD JESUS
SAY THAT HE TOOK EVERLASTING
00:19:34.10\00:19:38.00
PUNISHMENT?
00:19:38.00\00:19:40.40
NO, THE PENALTY
FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:19:40.40\00:19:42.70
DID HE DIE?
00:19:42.70\00:19:44.06
HE SUFFERED AND HE DIED,
AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE REWARD
00:19:44.06\00:19:46.50
OF THE LOST.
00:19:46.50\00:19:47.43
THEY WILL SUFFER FOR
THEIR SINS AND THEN THEY'LL DIE.
00:19:47.43\00:19:50.46
LET'S GET TO
SOME OTHER QUESTIONS.
00:19:50.46\00:19:52.70
I GOT SO MUCH TO COVER.
00:19:52.70\00:19:53.56
NUMBER FIVE, "WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THE WICKED IN HELLFIRE?"
00:19:53.56\00:19:57.46
ANSWER, PSALM 37:10.
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.66
GET YOUR PENCIL, I
GOT SO MANY SCRIPTURES.
00:19:59.66\00:20:02.43
"FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE
AND THE WICKED SHALL NOT BE."
00:20:02.43\00:20:05.40
WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO THE WICKED?
00:20:05.40\00:20:06.83
DOESN'T SAY THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE
DIRECTIONS OR THEY'RE GONNA
00:20:06.83\00:20:09.90
METAMORPHOSIS OR THEY'RE
GONNA BE A NEW BODY OR--IT SAYS
00:20:09.90\00:20:13.23
THEY'LL NOT BE ANYMORE.
00:20:13.23\00:20:16.90
THE WICKED WILL PERISH.
00:20:16.90\00:20:19.36
INTO SMOKE THEY
WILL CONSUME AWAY.
00:20:19.36\00:20:22.43
LOOK AT THE WORDS GOD IS USING
REGARDING THE WICKED, "PERISH,
00:20:22.43\00:20:24.80
CONSUME, NOT BE ANYMORE."
00:20:24.80\00:20:28.60
IT'S SO CLEAR.
00:20:28.60\00:20:30.40
MALACHI 4:1-3, "THE DAY COMES
THAT WILL BURN AS AN OVEN,"
00:20:30.40\00:20:35.16
TALKING ABOUT THAT GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY JESUS SPOKE OF.
00:20:35.16\00:20:37.63
AND ALL THAT DO WICKEDLY.
00:20:37.63\00:20:39.10
HOW MANY OF THE WICKED?
00:20:39.10\00:20:40.76
THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL
PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:20:40.76\00:20:42.86
"ALL THAT DO WICKEDLY SHALL BE
STUBBLE: AND THE DAY THAT COMES
00:20:42.86\00:20:46.33
WILL BURN THEM UP.
00:20:46.33\00:20:48.26
AND YOU WILL TREAD DOWN THE
WICKED; FOR THEY WILL BE ASHES
00:20:48.26\00:20:51.56
UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET."
00:20:51.56\00:20:54.06
THE WICKED ARE
GOING TO BE DESTROYED.
00:20:54.06\00:20:56.16
THEY'RE GONNA BE BURNT UP.
00:20:56.16\00:20:56.96
THEY'RE GONNA BE ASHES.
00:20:56.96\00:20:58.16
THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO EXIST ANYMORE.
00:20:58.16\00:21:00.33
YOU KNOW SOME OF YOU
KNOW THE STORY OF POMPEII.
00:21:00.33\00:21:03.60
I HAVE BEEN TO THE
ANCIENT CITY OF POMPEII.
00:21:03.60\00:21:08.33
IT'S RIGHT THERE NEAR
THE BASE OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.
00:21:08.33\00:21:11.56
IT'S INTERESTING I WAS JUST
CHATTING WITH SOMEONE TONIGHT
00:21:11.56\00:21:14.40
AND TALKING ABOUT THROUGH
HISTORY, YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF
00:21:14.40\00:21:16.50
CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
DESTROYED FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS.
00:21:16.50\00:21:19.16
SODOM AND GOMORRAH,
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE.
00:21:19.16\00:21:21.36
YOU'VE GOT, WHAT
DID I SAY LAST NIGHT?
00:21:21.36\00:21:25.16
PORT ROYALE WAS CALLED THE
WICKEDEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
00:21:25.16\00:21:29.63
YOU'VE GOT SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:21:29.63\00:21:31.66
YOU'VE GOT POMPEII.
00:21:31.66\00:21:33.30
THE LISBON EARTHQUAKE THAT TOOK
PLACE, SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE.
00:21:33.30\00:21:38.23
PEOPLE SAID IT WAS ONE
OF THE WICKEDEST CITIES.
00:21:38.23\00:21:40.50
IT WAS LIKE A BIG BORDELLO
BACK WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HIT.
00:21:40.50\00:21:43.60
MOUNT VESUVIUS EXPLODED.
00:21:43.60\00:21:46.96
THE PEOPLE IN POMPEII
WERE COVERED WITH ASH,
00:21:46.96\00:21:50.20
AND THEY WERE DESTROYED.
00:21:50.20\00:21:52.43
A LITTLE AMAZING FACT I'LL SHARE
WITH YOU, THE ROMAN SOLDIERS
00:21:52.43\00:21:55.96
THAT--THE LEGION OF SOLDIERS
THAT LED OUT IN THE DESTRUCTION
00:21:55.96\00:21:59.46
OF JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE WERE
LATER VACATIONING IN POMPEII
00:21:59.46\00:22:06.10
WHEN THE MOUNTAIN BLEW UP AND
MANY OF THEM WERE KILLED BECAUSE
00:22:06.10\00:22:09.20
THEY WERE TOLD TO
MAINTAIN THEIR POST.
00:22:09.20\00:22:11.93
REVELATION 21:8, "THE FEARFUL
AND THE UNBELIEVING, AND THE
00:22:11.93\00:22:16.93
ABOMINABLE, AND THE MURDERERS,
AND THE WHOREMONGERS, AND THE
00:22:16.93\00:22:19.93
SORCERERS, AND THE IDOLATERS,
AND ALL LIARS--WILL HAVE
00:22:19.93\00:22:24.40
THEIR PART IN THE LAKE THAT
BURNS WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE:
00:22:24.40\00:22:27.46
WHICH IS THE SECOND--" WHAT?
00:22:27.46\00:22:29.60
"DEATH."
00:22:29.60\00:22:30.83
IS THERE HELLFIRE?
00:22:30.83\00:22:32.30
YES.
00:22:32.30\00:22:32.90
ARE THE WICKED
GOING TO BURN IN HELL?
00:22:32.90\00:22:34.33
YES.
00:22:34.33\00:22:34.90
BUT IT SAYS THEY'RE CONSUMED.
00:22:34.90\00:22:36.13
THEY'RE BURNT UP.
00:22:36.13\00:22:36.96
THEY'LL NOT BE.
00:22:36.96\00:22:38.16
IT IS A DEATH.
00:22:38.16\00:22:39.60
IT'S NOT JUST THE FIRST DEATH
THAT EVERYBODY DIES, THIS IS THE
00:22:39.60\00:22:41.80
SECOND DEATH FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO RESURRECTION.
00:22:41.80\00:22:46.80
I HEARD A PASTOR SAY ONE
TIME, "IF YOU'RE ONLY BORN ONCE,
00:22:46.80\00:22:51.33
YOU'RE GONNA DIE TWICE."
00:22:51.33\00:22:53.06
EVERYBODY'S BORN ONCE, RIGHT?
00:22:53.06\00:22:55.16
"BUT IF YOU'RE BORN
TWICE, YOU ONLY DIE ONCE."
00:22:55.16\00:22:59.00
NOT JUST THE NATURAL BIRTH, YOU
NEED THE SPIRITUAL BIRTH TOO.
00:22:59.00\00:23:02.16
NUMBER SIX, "WHERE, AND
HOW WILL HELLFIRE BE KINDLED?"
00:23:02.16\00:23:09.06
ANSWER IS REVELATION 20:9,
AT THE END OF THE WORLD, IT'S
00:23:09.06\00:23:12.50
TALKING ABOUT WHEN SATAN GATHERS
ALL THE WICKED TO ASSAULT THE
00:23:12.50\00:23:16.16
CITY OF GOD, THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:23:16.16\00:23:18.26
AND THEY GO UP ON THE BREADTH OF
THE EARTH, AND THEY ENCOMPASSED,
00:23:18.26\00:23:21.76
THEY SURROUND "THE CAMP OF THE
SAINTS, THE BELOVED CITY: AND
00:23:21.76\00:23:25.23
FIRE COMES DOWN FROM GOD OUT
OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURS THEM."
00:23:25.23\00:23:31.10
SO TO START WITH THE FIRST PART
IS HELL DOWN UNDER THE EARTH
00:23:31.10\00:23:36.13
SOMEWHERE OR IS THAT LAKE OF
FIRE GOING TO BE ON THE EARTH?
00:23:36.13\00:23:41.40
GOD RAINS FIRE DOWN OUT OF
HEAVEN UPON THE EARTH, SAME WAY
00:23:41.40\00:23:45.83
IT HAPPENED BACK IN THE
DAYS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:23:45.83\00:23:49.30
PROVERBS 11:31, THE RIGHTEOUS
SHALL BE RECOMPENSED IN
00:23:49.30\00:23:53.46
THE EARTH, MUCH MORE
THE WICKED AND THE SINNER."
00:23:53.46\00:23:57.63
HELL IS NOT
ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM.
00:23:57.63\00:24:00.76
HELL IS GONNA BURN IN LANSING,
MICHIGAN AMONG OTHER PLACES,
00:24:00.76\00:24:04.33
ALL OVER THE PLANET.
00:24:04.33\00:24:07.06
THE LORD IS GONNA
BAPTIZE THE WORLD IN FIRE.
00:24:07.06\00:24:10.56
2 PETER 3 TELLS THAT.
00:24:10.56\00:24:12.66
SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS, UNLESS
YOU'RE BORN OF THE WATER AND OF
00:24:12.66\00:24:17.83
THE FIRE, YOU CANNOT
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:24:17.83\00:24:21.63
YOU MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT
AND BORN OF THE WATER OR YOU
00:24:21.63\00:24:24.83
CANNOT ENTER THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:24:24.83\00:24:27.10
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT BEING
BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT, BEING
00:24:27.10\00:24:30.20
BAPTIZED IN WATER BAPTISM.
00:24:30.20\00:24:32.00
THE WORLD WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER
IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, IT WILL BE
00:24:32.00\00:24:36.10
BAPTIZED IN FIRE WHEN JESUS
COMES AGAIN AND THEN HE MAKES
00:24:36.10\00:24:38.90
A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
00:24:38.90\00:24:40.86
WHEN GOD ASKS THE
DEVIL IN THE BOOK OF JOB,
00:24:40.86\00:24:43.50
"WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?"
00:24:43.50\00:24:44.36
HE SAID, "I CAME FROM THE
EARTH WALKING TO-AND-FRO ON IT,"
00:24:44.36\00:24:48.00
NOT UNDERNEATH THE GROUND.
00:24:48.00\00:24:50.43
HE DOESN'T HAVE A
HEADQUARTERS DOWN IN
00:24:50.43\00:24:52.03
CARLSBAD CAVERN SOMEWHERE.
