>>THE STUDY TODAY IS DEALING
WITH THE SUBJECT OF REVELATION'S
00:00:43.36\00:00:46.66
LAKE OF FIRE.
00:00:46.66\00:00:47.96
NOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
BIBLE PROPHECY AND THERE'S A LOT
00:00:47.96\00:00:50.56
OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS
ON THIS SUBJECT.
00:00:50.56\00:00:53.50
ACTUALLY, WHAT I'M GOING TO
SHARE WITH YOU IS GOOD NEWS.
00:00:53.50\00:00:56.36
OF ALL THE THINGS I PRESENTED -
I KNOW YOU MIGHT FIND THIS HARD
00:00:56.36\00:01:00.80
TO IMAGINE BUT THIS IS MY
FAVORITE SUBJECT BECAUSE WHEN
00:01:00.80\00:01:05.33
I UNDERSTOOD THE TRUTH
ABOUT THIS SUBJECT IT DID A LOT
00:01:05.33\00:01:08.96
TO HELP ME LOVE
GOD AND TRUST HIM.
00:01:08.96\00:01:11.86
AND YOU'LL SEE
WHY AS WE PROCEED.
00:01:11.86\00:01:13.80
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN
WITH AN AMAZING FACT.
00:01:13.80\00:01:16.16
LOWEST PLACE ON THE PLANET
IS THE AREA AROUND THE DEAD SEA.
00:01:16.16\00:01:21.16
IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT
1312 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL.
00:01:21.16\00:01:26.80
IT IS THE BASEMENT OF
THE PLANET, YOU MIGHT SAY.
00:01:26.80\00:01:29.73
AND IT'S A VERY INTERESTING
PIECE OF GEOGRAPHY - IT'S
00:01:29.73\00:01:33.26
BASICALLY A SINKHOLE FOR ALL OF
THE SALTS AND THINGS THAT COME
00:01:33.26\00:01:37.16
DOWN THROUGH THE WHOLE JORDAN
VALLEY - THEY SETTLE THERE.
00:01:37.16\00:01:41.20
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU
GO OUT INTO THE WATER AROUND
00:01:41.20\00:01:44.20
THE DEAD SEA THE SALT CONTENT
IS SO HIGH THAT YOU CAN FLOAT.
00:01:44.20\00:01:50.46
ANYBODY THAT
CAN'T SWIM CAN FLOAT.
00:01:50.46\00:01:52.43
VESPASIAN, THE ROMAN EMPEROR,
HAD HEARD THAT ONE TIME.
00:01:52.43\00:01:54.66
HE WANTED TO TEST IT SO
HE WENT DOWN TO THE DEAD SEA
00:01:54.66\00:01:56.80
AND THEY TIED UP A
SLAVE AND THREW HIM IN.
00:01:56.80\00:01:59.66
SURE ENOUGH, HE
BOBBED TO THE SURFACE.
00:01:59.66\00:02:02.03
SOMEONE ONCE WONDERED HOW
DEEP IT WAS, BECAUSE IT IS THE
00:02:02.03\00:02:04.50
LOWEST PLACE ON EARTH
AND IT'S PART OF A DEEP RIFT.
00:02:04.50\00:02:07.70
IT WAS FORMED BY SOME
KIND OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY -
00:02:07.70\00:02:10.76
THE GREAT JORDAN VALLEY RIFT.
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.76
AND SO A LIEUTENANT - OR
CAPTAIN LYNCH FROM THE U.S.
00:02:12.76\00:02:16.36
NAVY WENT OUT THERE WITH SOME
SPECIAL GEAR AND THEY SOUNDED IT
00:02:16.36\00:02:21.66
AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE
LAKE, WHICH IS ABOUT 50 MILES
00:02:21.66\00:02:24.13
LONG BY ALMOST 10 MILES
WIDE, THAT IT DOES HAVE A HOLE.
00:02:24.13\00:02:28.60
THEY WONDERED WHY NOTHING EVER
RUNS OUT OF THE DEAD SEA AND
00:02:28.60\00:02:30.96
THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A BIG
HOLE IN THE BOTTLE - BOTTOM -
00:02:30.96\00:02:33.40
WHERE EVERYTHING'S JUST GETTING
SUCKED DOWN, BUT IN REALITY IT
00:02:33.40\00:02:36.36
IS SO BIG THAT IT'S SIMPLY THE
EVAPORATION OF THE JORDAN RIVER
00:02:36.36\00:02:40.40
THAT RUNS IN - IT EVAPORATES
FASTER THAN THE WATER COMES IN.
00:02:40.40\00:02:45.30
MATTER OF FACT, THE LEVEL OF THE
DEAD SEA HAS BEEN GOING DOWN FOR
00:02:45.30\00:02:47.80
SEVERAL YEARS NOW - ONE OF THE
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE
00:02:47.80\00:02:50.60
THEY'RE HAVING A DROUGHT.
00:02:50.60\00:02:52.70
JUST SOUTH OF THE DEAD SEA
THEY'VE GOT A VERY INTERESTING
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.73
PIECE OF GEOGRAPHY AND IT'S
BELIEVED THAT THIS IS THE AREA
00:02:55.73\00:02:59.46
WHERE SODOM AND
GOMORRAH WERE LOCATED.
00:02:59.46\00:03:02.86
FOUND IN THE GROUND - AND YOU
SEE SOMEONE POINTING - A FRIEND
00:03:02.86\00:03:05.46
OF MINE WAS DOWN THERE.
00:03:05.46\00:03:06.46
HE GAVE ME HIS PICTURES.
00:03:06.46\00:03:07.60
HE'S ACTUALLY GIVEN ME A LOT OF
THESE SULPHUR BALLS - EMBEDDED
00:03:07.60\00:03:10.96
IN THE ASH AND ROCK IN THESE
HILLS ARE THESE ROUND SULPHUR
00:03:10.96\00:03:15.50
BALLS AND I - SOMETIMES I BRING
THEM WITH ME AND I DEMONSTRATE
00:03:15.50\00:03:18.83
IT IN MY MEETINGS
BECAUSE IT'S VERY AMAZING.
00:03:18.83\00:03:21.40
YOU JUST TAKE A MATCH, PUT IT TO
THESE YELLOW SULPHUR BALLS, THEY
00:03:21.40\00:03:25.30
IGNITE - IT'S THE ONLY PLACE ON
THE PLANET THAT YOU FIND THEM.
00:03:25.30\00:03:29.20
AND IT TRACES BACK TO THE STORY
- I'VE GOT A PICTURE OF ONE -
00:03:29.20\00:03:31.60
TOOK A PICTURE OF ONE BURNING
HERE. DO YOU SEE THE LITTLE BLUE
00:03:31.60\00:03:33.63
SPOT? IT'S ACTUALLY BURNING
- YOU JUST PUT A MATCH TO IT -
00:03:33.63\00:03:36.86
IT STINKS TERRIBLE.
00:03:36.86\00:03:38.23
THAT'S ONE REASON I
DON'T ILLUSTRATE THAT.
00:03:38.23\00:03:40.10
I DID THAT ONE TIME AND EVERYONE
WANTED TO RUN OUT OF THE ROOM.
00:03:40.10\00:03:42.50
IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS.
00:03:42.50\00:03:44.36
BUT VERY UNIQUE PLACE ON
THE PLANET WHERE YOU FIND THESE.
00:03:44.36\00:03:49.83
AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT SODOM AND GOMORRAH
00:03:49.83\00:03:53.50
WERE DESTROYED -
THEY WERE VERY WICKED.
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.83
IT SAYS IN GENESIS 13:13,
"BUT THE MEN OF SODOM WERE
00:03:56.83\00:04:00.13
WICKED, SINNERS
BEFORE THE LORD EXCEEDINGLY."
00:04:00.13\00:04:04.23
AND GOD FINALLY SENT TWO ANGELS
TO RESCUE LOT AND HIS FAMILY
00:04:04.23\00:04:08.16
THAT WERE THERE AND THEY WARNED
THEM THAT THEY HAD TO FLEE -
00:04:08.16\00:04:11.33
THESE ANGELS CAME TO THE CITY OF
SODOM WHERE LOT HAD - HE MADE A
00:04:11.33\00:04:14.60
MISTAKE BY LIVING IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT BUT GOD WANTED
00:04:14.60\00:04:17.40
TO SPARE HIM.
00:04:17.40\00:04:19.03
AND THE ANGELS SAID TO HIM,
'ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE LEST YOU
00:04:19.03\00:04:23.33
BE CONSUMED.' CONSUMED.
00:04:23.33\00:04:27.63
WELL, LOT HAD FAMILY IN THE CITY
SO HE WENT TO TRY TO PERSUADE
00:04:27.63\00:04:30.83
HIS SONS-IN-LAW AND HIS OTHER
DAUGHTERS TO LEAVE WITH HIM AND
00:04:30.83\00:04:35.06
HE SAID, 'GET UP AND GET
OUT OF THIS PLACE FOR THE LORD
00:04:35.06\00:04:37.00
WILL DESTROY THIS CITY.
00:04:37.00\00:04:38.83
WE'VE BEEN WARNED.' BUT
IT SAYS THAT THEY SEEMED TO
00:04:38.83\00:04:42.50
HIM AS ONE THAT MOCKED -
HIS SON-IN-LAW THOUGHT, 'OH DAD,
00:04:42.50\00:04:45.60
HE'S A RELIGIOUS FANATIC.'
AND SO THEY WOULD NOT -
00:04:45.60\00:04:49.06
WOULD NOT LISTEN TO HIM.
00:04:49.06\00:04:50.83
AND THEN YOU READ ABOUT IT
IN GENESIS 19:24, "THEN THE LORD
00:04:50.83\00:04:54.20
RAINED UPON SODOM AND UPON
GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE FROM
00:04:54.20\00:04:58.40
THE LORD OUT OF HEAVEN
AND HE LOOKED TOWARD SODOM AND
00:04:58.40\00:05:02.60
GOMORRAH" - ABRAHAM SAW FROM THE
DISTANCE - "AND LO, THE SMOKE OF
00:05:02.60\00:05:06.63
THE COUNTRY WENT UP AS
THE SMOKE OF A FURNACE."
00:05:06.63\00:05:09.83
IT WAS CONSUMED.
00:05:09.83\00:05:12.23
NOW, IN THE BIBLE IT TELLS
US THAT SODOM AND GOMORRAH ARE
00:05:12.23\00:05:15.56
GIVEN TO US AS AN EXAMPLE OF
HOW GOD IS GOING TO DEAL WITH
00:05:15.56\00:05:19.73
THE WORLD IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:05:19.73\00:05:22.06
MATTER OF FACT, JESUS SAID
IN LUKE CHAPTER 17 AND MATTHEW
00:05:22.06\00:05:25.76
CHAPTER 24, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF NOT ONLY NOAH, BUT IN
00:05:25.76\00:05:31.10
THE DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT ALSO
BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF
00:05:31.10\00:05:34.40
MAN IS REVEALED.' AND CONDITIONS
IN THIS WORLD TODAY ARE VERY
00:05:34.40\00:05:38.06
MUCH LIKE CONDITIONS WERE BACK
IN THE DAYS OF LOT, FRIENDS.
00:05:38.06\00:05:41.90
ALMOST RAMPANT,
UNRESTRAINED IMMORALITY HAS BEEN
00:05:41.90\00:05:45.83
ENDORSED BY THE CULTURE.
00:05:45.83\00:05:47.96
THERE'S ONLY SO
MUCH GOD CAN TAKE.
00:05:47.96\00:05:49.90
NOW WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
ABOUT WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO
00:05:49.90\00:05:53.20
AND HOW HE DESCRIBES
THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED
00:05:53.20\00:05:55.30
IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:55.30\00:05:56.43
QUESTION #1 - HOW
MANY LOST SOULS ARE BEING
00:05:56.43\00:06:00.23
PUNISHED IN HELL TODAY?
00:06:00.23\00:06:03.03
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:06:03.03\00:06:04.66
2 PETER CHAPTER 2, VERSE 9,
"THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER
00:06:04.66\00:06:08.63
THE UNGODLY OUT OF TEMPTATION
AND TO RESERVE THE UNJUST TO THE
00:06:08.63\00:06:13.96
DAY OF JUDGMENT TO BE PUNISHED.
00:06:13.96\00:06:16.63
SO, ARE THE UNJUST
PUNISHED BEFORE OR AFTER
00:06:16.63\00:06:19.83
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT?
00:06:19.83\00:06:22.13
THEY ARE
RESERVED, IN THEIR GRAVES,
00:06:22.13\00:06:24.70
UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:06:24.70\00:06:26.76
HAS THE GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY ARRIVED YET? NO.
00:06:26.76\00:06:30.40
THEN ARE THEY BEING PUNISHED
YET? THEY'RE BEING RESERVED.
00:06:30.40\00:06:34.56
ANY OF YOU EVER GONE TO A
NICE RESTAURANT WHERE YOU'VE
00:06:34.56\00:06:36.33
GOT TO GET A RESERVATION?
00:06:36.33\00:06:38.23
IT PROBABLY WASN'T
HUNGRY JACK, RIGHT?
00:06:38.23\00:06:39.76
YOU GO TO A NICE RESTAURANT,
YOU GET A RESERVATION, YOU GET
00:06:39.76\00:06:42.10
THERE, YOU GIVE THEM YOUR NAME,
THEY HOLD YOUR TABLE FOR YOU,
00:06:42.10\00:06:44.73
RIGHT?
00:06:44.73\00:06:46.16
WELL, THERE IS A
PLACE THAT GOD HAS RESERVED.
00:06:46.16\00:06:50.26
THERE IS A TIME THAT IS RESERVED
FOR THE JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:06:50.26\00:06:54.03
IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:06:54.03\00:06:55.50
A LOT OF IDEAS ABOUT HELL
HAVE COME FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY -
00:06:55.50\00:06:58.73
THEY'RE NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:58.73\00:07:00.73
I WANT YOU TO BASE
YOUR UNDERSTANDING ON
00:07:00.73\00:07:02.66
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:07:02.66\00:07:04.06
SO MANY IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
TODAY SORT OF HAVE A STEW -
00:07:04.06\00:07:08.43
THEY'VE GOT THIS POTLUCK IN
THEIR MINDS OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW
00:07:08.43\00:07:12.60
GOD PUNISHES THE WICKED.
00:07:12.60\00:07:14.10
HE'S VERY JUST IN THE WAY
HE DOES IT AND HE'S VERY CLEAR
00:07:14.10\00:07:16.66
ABOUT NOT ONLY HOW IT'S
DONE BUT WHEN IT'S DONE.
00:07:16.66\00:07:19.33
AGAIN, CHRIST SAID - I
TRUST YOU BELIEVE JESUS -
00:07:19.33\00:07:23.06
'THE WORD THAT I HAVE
SPOKEN, THE SAME WILL JUDGE HIM
00:07:23.06\00:07:25.63
IN THE LAST DAY.'
THEY ARE JUDGED BY
00:07:25.63\00:07:28.23
THE WORD OF GOD IN THE LAST DAY.
00:07:28.23\00:07:30.40
THAT'S WHY I'M PREACHING
TO YOU FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:07:30.40\00:07:32.63
IT IS THE ULTIMATE
CRITERIA FOR THAT JUDGMENT.
00:07:32.63\00:07:36.00
QUESTION #2 - WHEN WILL SINNERS
BE CAST INTO WHAT THE BIBLE
00:07:36.00\00:07:41.46
CALLS 'HELLFIRE'?
00:07:41.46\00:07:43.63
WELL, HE TELLS A PARABLE - JESUS
- ABOUT A FARMER THAT SOWS GOOD
00:07:43.63\00:07:48.23
SEED IN HIS FIELD AND WHILE
THEY WERE SLEEPING AN ENEMY, WHO
00:07:48.23\00:07:52.93
WANTED TO DESTROY HIS CROP,
HE CAME AND HE SPREAD TARES -
00:07:52.93\00:07:56.56
TARES IS A HEBREW WEED - HE
SPREAD THESE WEEDS OUT AMONG
00:07:56.56\00:08:01.13
THE GOOD WHEAT AND HIS SERVANTS
SAID, 'LOOK, SOMEBODY SOWED
00:08:01.13\00:08:05.00
SOME TARES AMONG THE WHEAT.
00:08:05.00\00:08:06.40
SHALL WE GO AND
PULL UP THE TARES?'
00:08:06.40\00:08:08.40
HE SAID, 'NO, THE ROOTS ARE KIND
OF MIXED UP TOGETHER, YOU'LL
00:08:08.40\00:08:10.56
DESTROY THE CROP IF YOU DO THAT.
00:08:10.56\00:08:11.96
LET THEM GROW TOGETHER -
THE TARES DON'T GET VERY HIGH,
00:08:11.96\00:08:14.70
THE WHEAT GROWS TALLER -
WHEN THAT HARVEST TIME COMES
00:08:14.70\00:08:18.06
WE'LL SEPARATE THE TWO.'
NOTICE THE SEPARATION DOESN'T
00:08:18.06\00:08:22.66
HAPPEN UNTIL THE HARVEST TIME.
00:08:22.66\00:08:24.46
JESUS, DESCRIBING THIS PARABLE
TO HIS DISCIPLES LATER, MADE IT
00:08:24.46\00:08:28.60
VERY CLEAR, 'AS, THEREFORE, THE
TARES ARE GATHERED AND BURNED IN
00:08:28.60\00:08:33.23
THE FIRE, SO SHALL IT BE
IN THE END OF THIS WORLD.
00:08:33.23\00:08:38.10
THE SON OF MAN WILL SEND FORTH
HIS' - WAIT A SECOND, WHEN?
00:08:38.10\00:08:41.70
THE END OF THE WORLD - GOT THAT?
00:08:41.70\00:08:45.43
'THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND HIS
ANGELS AND THEY WILL GATHER TO
00:08:45.43\00:08:48.80
THEM THOSE WHO DO
INIQUITY AND WILL CAST THEM INTO
00:08:48.80\00:08:52.13
A FURNACE OF FIRE.'
WHEN ARE THEY CAST INTO
00:08:52.13\00:08:54.80
THIS FURNACE OF FIRE?
00:08:54.80\00:08:56.70
END OF THE WORLD.
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.66
SO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW?
00:08:58.66\00:09:02.50
WE LEARNED IN OUR
STUDY LAST NIGHT ON DEATH -
00:09:02.50\00:09:04.46
WHAT ARE THE DEAD DOING NOW?
00:09:04.46\00:09:06.93
SLEEPING.
00:09:06.93\00:09:08.03
NOW, WE REALIZE WE LIVE IN THIS
DIMENSION OF TIME, SO WHEN A
00:09:08.03\00:09:11.73
RIGHTEOUS OR EVEN A WICKED
PERSON DIES, THE NEXT THING
00:09:11.73\00:09:15.46
THEY'RE AWARE OF
IS EITHER THE FIRST
00:09:15.46\00:09:17.26
OR THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
00:09:17.26\00:09:19.03
#3 - WHERE ARE
SINNERS WHO HAVE DIED NOW?
00:09:19.03\00:09:23.56
A LOT OF SCRIPTURES, FRIEND,
IT SAYS, 'THE HOUR IS COMING IN
00:09:23.56\00:09:26.90
WHICH ALL THAT ARE IN THE
GRAVES WILL HEAR HIS VOICE.'
00:09:26.90\00:09:30.03
IS COMING - FUTURE TENSE -
THEY'LL HEAR HIS VOICE - ALL -
00:09:30.03\00:09:33.10
TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS.
00:09:33.10\00:09:35.33
IT SAYS THE WICKED ARE RESERVED
TO THE DAY OF DESTRUCTION.
00:09:35.33\00:09:38.76
THERE IS A DAY -
THEY'RE RESERVED IN THE GRAVE -
00:09:38.76\00:09:41.13
WHEN THEY'LL FINALLY BE JUDGED.
00:09:41.13\00:09:43.13
AND AGAIN, IT SAYS, 'YET HE
WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE GRAVE
00:09:43.13\00:09:45.76
AND WILL REMAIN IN THE TOMB.'
SO, WHEN A WICKED PERSON DIES,
00:09:45.76\00:09:49.70
WHERE DO THEY STAY?
00:09:49.70\00:09:50.53
WHERE DO THEY WAIT?
00:09:50.53\00:09:52.23
BROUGHT TO THE GRAVE, RESERVED,
REMAINS, WAITS IN THE TOMB
00:09:52.23\00:09:56.96
FOR THAT COMING DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.00
THERE'S A RESURRECTION FOR
THE JUST, THERE'S A RESURRECTION
00:10:00.00\00:10:02.53
CALLED THE RESURRECTION OF
DAMNATION - THE RESURRECTION
00:10:02.53\00:10:04.73
FOR THE LOST OR THE UNGODLY.
00:10:04.73\00:10:07.33
QUESTION #4 - WHAT IS
THE END RESULT OF SIN?
00:10:07.33\00:10:12.33
NOW THIS IS THE MAIN
THING I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
00:10:12.33\00:10:14.83
IN THIS PRESENTATION.
00:10:14.83\00:10:16.36
NOT ONLY ARE THERE NO PEOPLE
BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE YET,
00:10:16.36\00:10:21.03
BUT THE LAKE OF
FIRE IS NOT ETERNAL.
00:10:21.03\00:10:27.73
PEOPLE ARE PUNISHED.
00:10:27.73\00:10:29.03
THERE IS HELLFIRE.
00:10:29.03\00:10:30.16
YOU ALL HEAR ME?
00:10:30.16\00:10:31.23
I BELIEVE THAT.
00:10:31.23\00:10:32.76
SOME PEOPLE SAY 'PASTOR DOUG
DOESN'T BELIEVE IN HELLFIRE' -
00:10:32.76\00:10:34.53
YES I DO.
00:10:34.53\00:10:35.40
THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH
IT BURNS THROUGH ENDLESS AGES.
00:10:35.40\00:10:39.30
WHAT DID JESUS SAY
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS?
00:10:39.30\00:10:43.03
SIN, WHEN IT IS
FINISHED, BRINGS FORTH DEATH.
00:10:43.03\00:10:48.96
AND AGAIN, CHRIST
TELLS US THERE'S TWO CHOICES.
00:10:48.96\00:10:51.73
YOU KNOW THE BEAUTIFUL VERSE,
'FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
00:10:51.73\00:10:55.50
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD
00:10:55.50\00:10:59.00
NOT PERISH BUT
HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:10:59.00\00:11:02.53
YOU ALL HAVE TWO CHOICES.
00:11:02.53\00:11:03.50
I HAVE TWO
CHOICES - LIFE OR PERISH.
00:11:03.50\00:11:08.03
NOW WHAT DOES PERISH MEAN?
00:11:08.03\00:11:09.66
IT MEANS THE ABSENCE OF LIFE.
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.93
IT MEANS DEATH.
00:11:11.93\00:11:13.73
THIS IDEA THAT GOD TORTURES THE
OBJECTS OF HIS CREATION THROUGH
00:11:13.73\00:11:17.26
ENDLESS AGES HAS COME FROM GREEK
MYTHOLOGY AND I'LL TELL YOU,
00:11:17.26\00:11:19.80
SOME PASTORS, THEY WAX PRETTY
ELOQUENT AS THEY DESCRIBE IT,
00:11:19.80\00:11:24.90
TRYING TO MOBILIZE
PEOPLE THROUGH FEAR.
00:11:24.90\00:11:28.36
IS FEAR THE RIGHT
REASON TO SERVE THE LORD?
00:11:28.36\00:11:31.60
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER READING
SOME OF THE SERMONS - EXCERPTS
00:11:31.60\00:11:34.90
FROM SOME OF THE VICTORIAN
PREACHERS AS THEY WOULD WAX
00:11:34.90\00:11:39.13
ELOQUENT TALKING ABOUT HELL
AND THEY DESCRIBE HOW THESE LOST
00:11:39.13\00:11:43.76
PEOPLE WERE PLUNGED BY THE LORD
DOWN INTO THIS MOLTEN FIRE AND
00:11:43.76\00:11:47.53
BRIMSTONE AND AS THEY TRIED
TO SWIM, BLISTERING TOWARDS THE
00:11:47.53\00:11:51.60
SURFACE, CHOKING - INHALING THIS
MOLTEN MATERIAL, THAT THEY'D
00:11:51.60\00:11:55.73
COME UP COUGHING AND GASPING
THE GASES AND THEY'D SCREAM
00:11:55.73\00:11:59.90
TO THE LORD, 'HOW
LONG?' AND HE'D SAY,
00:11:59.90\00:12:01.73
'YOU'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN.
00:12:01.73\00:12:02.73
YOU'VE GOT ETERNITY.'
AND HE'D PUSH THEM BACK UNDER
00:12:02.73\00:12:04.83
AGAIN AND WRITHING AND SHRIEKING
IN AGONY - CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:12:04.83\00:12:09.83
THAT'S WHAT A LOT
OF PEOPLE BELIEVE.
00:12:09.83\00:12:14.00
NOW, I WANT TO APPEAL TO
YOUR GOOD SENSE OF REASON.
00:12:14.00\00:12:18.16
WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR DOG?
00:12:18.16\00:12:21.43
IF YOU HAD A BAD DOG -
DISOBEDIENT DOG - REBELLIOUS DOG
00:12:21.43\00:12:25.06
AND YOU FINALLY SAID,
'I'M GOING TO KILL THAT DOG.'
00:12:25.06\00:12:30.13
WOULD YOU KEEP ON KILLING HIM?
00:12:30.13\00:12:32.50
NO.
00:12:32.50\00:12:34.26
I MEAN, I REMEMBER WHEN I LIVED
UP IN THE MOUNTAINS ONE DAY, MY
00:12:34.26\00:12:38.36
CAT - I HAD A CAT THAT HE KIND
OF WOULD BRING HOME SOME OF THE
00:12:38.36\00:12:44.66
LOCAL CRITTERS.
00:12:44.66\00:12:46.46
ONE DAY I WAS COOKING DINNER
AND HE HAD CAUGHT A MOUSE.
00:12:46.46\00:12:49.60
BUT YOU KNOW, CATS ARE A LITTLE
BIT SADISTIC - THEY DON'T JUST
00:12:49.60\00:12:51.63
KILL THEIR PREY - THEY LIKE TO
PLAY WITH THEIR FOOD WHILE IT'S
00:12:51.63\00:12:55.73
ALIVE - AND SO, THIS KANGAROO
RAT - CUTE LITTLE THING -
00:12:55.73\00:12:59.46
LONG FLUFFY TAIL AND
HE KIND OF HOPPED AROUND.
00:12:59.46\00:13:02.96
AND HE BROUGHT THIS RAT - I
GUESS HE WANTED TO SHOW ME -
00:13:02.96\00:13:05.90
HE DROPPED IT DOWN WHILE I'M
COOKING - I HAVE A FIRE GOING
00:13:05.90\00:13:07.73
AND I'M COOKING MY DINNER AND
HE'S BATTING THE THING AROUND,
00:13:07.73\00:13:11.33
IT WOULD RUN, HE'D POUNCE ON IT,
HE'D BAT IT AND IT WAS DAZED AND
00:13:11.33\00:13:14.70
IT WOULD MAKE ANOTHER RUN FOR
ITS ESCAPE AND, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:13:14.70\00:13:18.43
IT DID, AND IT'S HOPPING TO RUN
AWAY AND IT HOPPED NOT INTO MY
00:13:18.43\00:13:22.43
FOOD, BUT INTO THE FIRE.
00:13:22.43\00:13:25.33
AND - LISTEN TO YOUR REACTION
- 'OH, THAT POOR MOUSE -
00:13:25.33\00:13:32.23
RAT - POOR LITTLE RAT.
00:13:32.23\00:13:35.20
IT WAS TERRIBLE THOUGH, YOU
KNOW, I - I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING
00:13:35.20\00:13:37.80
- IT JUMPED IN THERE - IT
WRITHED AND SHRIEKED AND IT ONLY
00:13:37.80\00:13:40.56
TOOK A FEW MOMENTS AND IT DIED.
00:13:40.56\00:13:43.16
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:13:43.16\00:13:43.73
TO ME IT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY
JUST WATCHING THAT POOR THING
00:13:43.73\00:13:47.26
SUFFER LIKE THAT FOR A
FEW MOMENTS IN THE FIRE.
00:13:47.26\00:13:53.30
AM I MORE LOVING THAN GOD?
00:13:53.30\00:13:56.10
AM I MORE LOVING WITH
A RAT THAN GOD IS TOWARD
00:13:56.10\00:13:58.96
CREATURES MADE IN HIS IMAGE?
00:13:58.96\00:14:01.40
WAYWARD CHILDREN, REBELLIOUS
CHILDREN - THIS IDEA THAT GOD
00:14:01.40\00:14:05.90
TORTURES PEOPLE FOR THE SINS
OF ONE LIFETIME FOR BILLIONS OF
00:14:05.90\00:14:10.90
YEARS - THINK ABOUT IT,
A BILLION YEARS BURNING.
00:14:10.90\00:14:12.46
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, A BILLION
YEARS AFTER YOU BURN, MINUTE BY
00:14:12.46\00:14:15.83
MINUTE, SECOND BY
SECOND, YOU'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN.
00:14:15.83\00:14:19.13
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:14:19.13\00:14:21.26
I MEAN, WHAT IS ETERNAL -
THE WAY THAT'S IT'S INTERPRETED
00:14:21.26\00:14:23.10
BY SOME PEOPLE?
00:14:23.10\00:14:25.96
LOVING GOD - NO WONDER
PEOPLE HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM THE
00:14:25.96\00:14:28.50
CONCEPT OF GOD
BEING A GOD OF LOVE.
00:14:28.50\00:14:31.13
A LOT OF GREAT
PEOPLE, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE,
00:14:31.13\00:14:36.16
HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF.
00:14:36.16\00:14:37.23
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT
AND I DIDN'T LIKE GOD VERY MUCH
00:14:37.23\00:14:41.23
WHEN I WENT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL
AND THEY TALKED TO ME ABOUT THE
00:14:41.23\00:14:43.50
EVER-BURNING HELL AND I EVEN
VISITED SOME BAPTIST CHURCHES -
00:14:43.50\00:14:46.66
MY DAD WAS A BAPTIST BEFORE HE
TURNED AWAY FROM THE LORD AND,
00:14:46.66\00:14:50.73
AGAIN, FIRE AND BRIMSTONE,
EVER-BURNING HELL - AND IT WAS
00:14:50.73\00:14:54.93
JUST FEAR, IT WAS ALL FEAR.
00:14:54.93\00:14:56.83
AND I THOUGHT
THAT GOD WAS A SADIST.
00:14:56.83\00:14:59.70
WHEN I LEARNED WHAT THE BIBLE
REALLY TEACHES ON THIS SUBJECT,
00:14:59.70\00:15:02.60
WOW, IT WAS LIBERATING TO ME.
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.60
BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
SURF THE INTERNET AT ALL, YOU
00:15:04.60\00:15:08.36
MIGHT JOT DOWN 'HELLTRUTH.COM' -
TWO SIMPLE WORDS 'HELLTRUTH.COM'
00:15:08.36\00:15:15.50
- A LOT OF
BIBLE RESOURCES THERE.
00:15:15.50\00:15:17.50
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS WHAT?
00:15:17.50\00:15:19.33
IT'S DEATH.
00:15:19.33\00:15:20.70
THE WAGES FOR SIN IS DEATH
- ROMANS 6:23 - "BUT THE GIFT
00:15:20.70\00:15:24.13
OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE."
00:15:24.13\00:15:25.80
THE FIRST LIE THE DEVIL TOLD
EVE IS YOU'LL NOT REALLY DIE.
00:15:25.80\00:15:29.43
YOU'RE IMMORTAL.
00:15:29.43\00:15:30.46
YOU'LL LIVE FOREVER IN HEAVEN
OR YOU'LL LIVE FOREVER IN HELL.
00:15:30.46\00:15:32.46
IT'S A LIE OF THE DEVIL.
00:15:32.46\00:15:34.33
ETERNAL LIFE IS GIVEN
TO THOSE THAT BELIEVE.
00:15:34.33\00:15:37.13
HE SAID, 'LEST' - GOD SAID, ADAM
WAS EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF
00:15:37.13\00:15:40.93
EDEN 'LEST HE REACH FORTH WITH
HIS HAND AND TAKE OF THE TREE OF
00:15:40.93\00:15:46.06
LIFE AND EAT AND LIVE FOREVER.'
GOD SAID HE WAS KICKED OUT OF
00:15:46.06\00:15:48.66
THE GARDEN SO HE WOULD
NOT BE AN IMMORTAL SINNER.
00:15:48.66\00:15:53.50
SINNERS DO NOT GET
IMMORTALITY - BODY OR SOUL.
00:15:53.50\00:15:58.33
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE
VERSES THAT MAKE IT VERY PLAIN.
00:15:58.33\00:16:01.03
WHAT WAS THE PENALTY FOR SIN?
00:16:01.03\00:16:03.93
DEATH.
00:16:03.93\00:16:05.16
PENALTY FOR SIN IS WHAT?
00:16:05.16\00:16:06.63
DEATH.
00:16:06.63\00:16:07.76
HOW MANY OF YOU
BELIEVE JESUS TOOK OUR PENALTY?
00:16:07.76\00:16:11.10
IF THE PENALTY FOR SIN
IS BURNING FOREVER AND EVER
00:16:11.10\00:16:14.46
IN A LAKE OF FIRE, THEN DID
JESUS BURN FOREVER AND EVER? NO.
00:16:14.46\00:16:19.80
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:16:19.80\00:16:21.23
IF THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS
BURNING FOREVER AND EVER THEN
00:16:21.23\00:16:23.63
HE DIDN'T PAY YOUR PENALTY.
00:16:23.63\00:16:26.43
BUT HE DID PAY THE FULL PRICE
BECAUSE THE PENALTY IS DEATH.
00:16:26.43\00:16:29.16
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:16:29.16\00:16:30.23
SEE WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS?
00:16:30.23\00:16:32.16
JUST THE WHOLE JUDICIAL
UNDERSTANDING OF SALVATION
00:16:32.16\00:16:34.90
HINGES ON THIS QUESTION.
00:16:34.90\00:16:37.03
#5 - WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THE WICKED IN HELLFIRE?
00:16:37.03\00:16:41.20
WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:16:41.20\00:16:42.73
'FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE
AND THE WICKED SHALL NOT BE.'
00:16:42.73\00:16:46.50
NOT BE - JUST NOT
IN EXISTENCE ANYMORE.
00:16:46.50\00:16:50.50
PSALM 37, VERSE 10.
00:16:50.50\00:16:52.60
"THE WICKED WILL PERISH.
00:16:52.60\00:16:54.13
INTO SMOKE THEY
WILL CONSUME AWAY."
00:16:54.13\00:16:57.93
LOOK AT HOW
PLAIN THIS LANGUAGE IS.
00:16:57.93\00:17:00.13
MALACHI CHAPTER 4, VERSE 1
AND VERSE 3, "BEHOLD THE DAY IS
00:17:00.13\00:17:03.40
COMING THAT WILL BURN AS AN OVEN
AND ALL THAT DO WICKEDLY, ALL
00:17:03.40\00:17:07.86
THE PROUD SHALL BE STUBBLE."
00:17:07.86\00:17:10.40
YOU KNOW WHAT STUBBLE IS?
00:17:10.40\00:17:12.26
WHEN YOU HARVEST A FIELD
OF RICE OR CORN - ALL THA
00:17:12.26\00:17:14.06
S LEFT AFTER YOU CUT
DOWN THAT WHICH IS GOOD
00:17:14.06\00:17:17.10
IS THE STUBBLE - LITTLE STALKS
STICKING UP AND THE ROOTS.
00:17:17.10\00:17:19.70
NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY THAT
THE STUBBLE'S BURNT UP, IT SAYS,
00:17:19.70\00:17:23.86
'THE DAY THAT COMES
WILL BURN THEM UP' -
00:17:23.86\00:17:25.80
ROOT AND BRANCH IS BURNT UP.
00:17:25.80\00:17:29.10
LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE.
00:17:29.10\00:17:30.66
CONSUME, PERISH,
DESTROY, BURNT UP, BE NO MORE.
00:17:30.66\00:17:36.13
WHAT DEFINITION WILL YOU
ACCEPT IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT
00:17:36.13\00:17:39.23
TERMS LIKE THAT?
00:17:39.23\00:17:40.83
I MEAN HOW MUCH MORE
CLEAR CAN GOD MAKE IT?
00:17:40.83\00:17:43.46
IT SAYS, 'YOU'LL TREAD DOWN THE
WICKED FOR THEY'RE ASHES UNDER
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.60
THE SOULS OF YOUR
FEET.' THEY'RE BURNT UP SOULS -
00:17:46.60\00:17:49.40
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT ASHES.
00:17:49.40\00:17:51.60
NOW, NOT FAR FROM MOUNT VESUVIUS
THEY DISCOVERED THE RUINS OF
00:17:51.60\00:17:58.33
POMPEII - YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD
ABOUT THIS ANCIENT ROMAN CITY -
00:17:58.33\00:18:02.73
IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THE
LAS VEGAS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
00:18:02.73\00:18:06.16
AND I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THERE.
00:18:06.16\00:18:08.63
AND WHEN THAT VOLCANO ERUPTED
IN 78 A.D., IT JUST RAINED DOWN
00:18:08.63\00:18:14.70
BRIMSTONE AND HOT ASH AND GASES
ON THE CITY AND, BASICALLY,
00:18:14.70\00:18:18.26
BURIED ANYBODY THAT WAS
IN THE CITY AND THEY WERE ALL
00:18:18.26\00:18:20.43
ANNIHILATED.
00:18:20.43\00:18:22.16
SOME MANAGED TO ESCAPE
BEFORE THEY WERE HIT BY THIS -
00:18:22.16\00:18:25.46
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
00:18:25.46\00:18:26.83
A PYROCLASTIC CLOUD OF HEAT AND
ASH THAT JUST BURNED THE LUNGS
00:18:26.83\00:18:31.00
AND KILLED THE
PEOPLE IN THE CITY.
00:18:31.00\00:18:32.96
THEY GOT AWAY BY SEA AND
THEY REPORTED ON IT AND YOU CAN
00:18:32.96\00:18:35.06
EVEN READ ABOUT
THAT IN PLINY'S HISTORY.
00:18:35.06\00:18:39.26
AND ALL OVER THE CITY - I
KNOW IT'S NOT VERY PRETTY -
00:18:39.26\00:18:41.60
THEY FOUND THE RUINS OF ALL
THESE PEOPLE THAT BASICALLY WERE
00:18:41.60\00:18:44.23
JUST FROZEN IN POSITION BY THE
ASH AND IT'S KIND OF A GRISLY
00:18:44.23\00:18:49.00
THING AND IT'S VERY SOBERING TO
WALK AMONG THE RUINS OF POMPEII
00:18:49.00\00:18:53.26
- SOME OF YOU MAYBE HAVE BEEN
THERE BEFORE - AND SEE THE WHOLE
00:18:53.26\00:18:56.70
CIVILIZATION THAT WAS,
BASICALLY, FROZEN IN TIME AND
00:18:56.70\00:18:59.46
ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT PERISHED.
00:18:59.46\00:19:00.96
SOMETHING LIKE A MODERN EXAMPLE
OF WHAT HAPPENED TO SODOM AND
00:19:00.96\00:19:03.46
GOMORRAH -
TURNED THE CITY TO ASH.
00:19:03.46\00:19:07.06
REVELATION 21, VERSE 8, SPEAKING
OF THE WICKED IT SAYS, "BUT THE
00:19:07.06\00:19:10.66
FEARFUL AND THE UNBELIEVING AND
THE ABOMINABLE AND THE MURDERERS
00:19:10.66\00:19:15.53
AND THE WHOREMONGERS AND THE
SORCERERS AND IDOLATERS AND ALL
00:19:15.53\00:19:20.23
LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR
PART IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS
00:19:20.23\00:19:23.83
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE."
00:19:23.83\00:19:26.83
IS THERE HELLFIRE? YES.
00:19:26.83\00:19:30.13
IS THERE A LAKE OF FIRE? YES.
00:19:30.13\00:19:33.00
DOES IT BURN FOREVER? NO.
00:19:33.00\00:19:35.63
DO THE WICKED GO TO
THAT LAKE OF FIRE? YES.
00:19:35.63\00:19:39.46
WHERE IS THAT LAKE
OF FIRE GOING TO BE?
00:19:39.46\00:19:42.40
IS IT - YOU KNOW PEOPLE
DIE AND YOU GO DOWN TO A CAVERN
00:19:42.40\00:19:45.80
DOWN THERE - THERE'S - WE
KNOW THAT THERE'S MOLTEN FIRE.
00:19:45.80\00:19:49.13
EVEN BACK IN BIBLE TIMES
WHEN THEY SAW VOLCANOES ERUPTING
00:19:49.13\00:19:52.43
MOLTEN LAVA THEY BELIEVED THAT
DOWN UNDER THERE WAS FIRE AND
00:19:52.43\00:19:56.56
THEY SAID THAT WAS THE
HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEVIL.
00:19:56.56\00:19:59.10
SO WHERE IS HELL GOING TO BURN?
00:19:59.10\00:20:00.86
IS IT DOWN YONDER SOMEWHERE?
00:20:00.86\00:20:02.70
IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE SURFACE
OF THE EARTH, THAT'S WHERE THE
00:20:02.70\00:20:05.46
LAKE OF FIRE IS.
00:20:05.46\00:20:06.23
WE'LL GET - I'M
GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF NOW.
00:20:06.23\00:20:08.16
IT SAYS - WHICH
IS THE SECOND DEATH?
00:20:08.16\00:20:11.20
NOW PEOPLE WILL DIE THE FIRST
DEATH WHEN THEY JUST GET OLD AND
00:20:11.20\00:20:13.40
DIE OR THEY GET SICK AND DIE
OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND DIE, BUT
00:20:13.40\00:20:17.50
THE WICKED ARE RESURRECTED AND
JUDGED AND THEY DIE WHAT DEATH?
00:20:17.50\00:20:21.30
SECOND DEATH AND THAT'S
THE DEATH FOR WHICH THERE IS
00:20:21.30\00:20:24.96
NO RESURRECTION.
00:20:24.96\00:20:27.00
AS I SAID TO YOU BEFORE,
IF YOU'RE ONLY BORN ONCE,
00:20:27.00\00:20:29.00
YOU'LL DIE TWICE.
00:20:29.00\00:20:30.86
YOU NEED TO BE BORN
AGAIN - IF YOU'RE BORN TWICE
00:20:30.86\00:20:32.50
YOU ONLY DIE ONCE.
00:20:32.50\00:20:33.76
YOU GOT THAT?
00:20:33.76\00:20:35.80
#6 - WHEN, WHERE, AND
HOW WILL HELLFIRE BE KINDLED?
00:20:35.80\00:20:42.10
MATTHEW CHAPTER 13, VERSE 40-42,
"SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END
00:20:42.10\00:20:46.60
OF THE WORLD, THE SON
OF MAN WILL CAST THEM INTO
00:20:46.60\00:20:49.73
A FURNACE OF FIRE."
00:20:49.73\00:20:51.70
IT'S IN THE FUTURE AT THE END.
00:20:51.70\00:20:53.20
AFTER THE WICKED ARE
JUDGED THEY'RE CAST INTO
00:20:53.20\00:20:55.56
A FURNACE OF FIRE.
00:20:55.56\00:20:57.03
REVELATION CHAPTER 20,
"THEY WENT UP ON THE BREADTH OF
00:20:57.03\00:20:59.86
THE EARTH AND THEY COMPASSED
THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS ABOUT."
00:20:59.86\00:21:03.13
THEY SURROUND THE NEW JERUSALEM,
THE BELOVED CITY, AND THE DEVIL
00:21:03.13\00:21:06.30
TRIES TO LAUNCH THIS ONE FINAL
DESPERATE ATTACK ON THE CITY AND
00:21:06.30\00:21:09.76
PEOPLE OF GOD AT THE VERY END.
00:21:09.76\00:21:11.30
THEY ARE JUDGED AND IT
SAYS, 'FIRE COMES DOWN FROM GOD
00:21:11.30\00:21:15.90
OUT OF HEAVEN AND IT
GIVES THEM A BLISTER.'
00:21:15.90\00:21:19.66
IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:21:19.66\00:21:21.26
IT DEVOURS THEM.
00:21:21.26\00:21:24.10
IT SAYS, 'AND THE RIGHTEOUS
SHALL BE RECOMPENSED IN THE
00:21:24.10\00:21:27.40
EARTH, MUCH MORE THE
WICKED AND THE SINNER.'
00:21:27.40\00:21:30.63
SO THE RIGHTEOUS
INHERIT AN EARTH MADE NEW.
00:21:30.63\00:21:33.56
THE WICKED AND THE SINNER
ARE RECOMPENSED - OR REWARDED
00:21:33.56\00:21:36.36
IN THE EARTH TOO.
00:21:36.36\00:21:37.50
THIS LAKE OF FIRE IS RIGHT HERE
ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH.
00:21:37.50\00:21:40.90
THE DEVIL DOESN'T
HAVE HEADQUARTERS DOWN
00:21:40.90\00:21:42.16
UNDERNEATH SOMEWHERE.
00:21:42.16\00:21:44.16
#7 - HOW BIG AND HOW
HOT WILL BE THIS HELLFIRE?
00:21:44.16\00:21:49.86
IT SAYS THERE IN 2
PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10,
00:21:49.86\00:21:53.66
"THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME
AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT IN WHICH
00:21:53.66\00:21:56.93
THE HEAVENS WILL PASS AWAY WITH
A GREAT NOISE AND THE ELEMENTS
00:21:56.93\00:22:01.16
WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT
AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT
00:22:01.16\00:22:06.43
ARE IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:22:06.43\00:22:09.70
YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN THE
ATOMIC WEAPONS WERE RELEASED
00:22:09.70\00:22:13.93
ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI THEY
FOUND THAT EVEN ROCKS WILL BURN.
00:22:13.93\00:22:20.60
THIS WHOLE WORLD IS
GOING TO BE PURIFIED.
00:22:20.60\00:22:23.73
FIRE IS NOT ONLY A BAD
THING, FIRE CAN BE A GOOD THING.
00:22:23.73\00:22:27.30
FIRE CAN BURN AND DESTROY
AND FIRE ALSO STERILIZES.
00:22:27.30\00:22:31.00
FIRE IS A PURGING AGENT.
00:22:31.00\00:22:33.23
IT PURIFIES.
00:22:33.23\00:22:34.30
THAT'S WHY THE LORD BROUGHT THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT INTO A
00:22:34.30\00:22:36.10
DESERT TO KIND OF CLEAN THEM UP.
00:22:36.10\00:22:38.50
HE HAD TO BRING ME
OUT INTO A DESERT TOO
00:22:38.50\00:22:40.93
WHEN I FOUND THE LORD.
00:22:40.93\00:22:42.26
YOU LEARN THINGS
OUT THERE IN THE DESERT.
00:22:42.26\00:22:44.03
IT'S VERY HOT - THINGS
GET STERILIZED OUT THERE.
00:22:44.03\00:22:47.06
AND NOT TOO LONG AGO WE HAD
SOME BIG FIRES RAVAGING NORTHERN
00:22:47.06\00:22:51.90
CALIFORNIA AND NOT FAR FROM
WHERE OUR FAMILY HAS A LITTLE
00:22:51.90\00:22:54.96
CABIN UP IN THE HILLS THERE
- AND I'M A PILOT AND I'VE GOT
00:22:54.96\00:22:58.33
A LITTLE PLANE AND I ALMOST
HESITATE TELLING PEOPLE THAT
00:22:58.33\00:23:01.90
BECAUSE FOLKS HAVE THIS IDEA OF
TELEVANGELISTS WITH THEIR JETS -
00:23:01.90\00:23:05.03
NOT A JET, FRIENDS,
JUST A LITTLE BITTY PROPELLER
00:23:05.03\00:23:07.10
OUT FRONT.
00:23:07.10\00:23:08.43
AND IT'S - THAT PROPELLER'S
OUT THERE TO KEEP ME COOL
00:23:08.43\00:23:12.26
BECAUSE IF IT STOPS
SPINNING I START TO SWEAT.
00:23:12.26\00:23:17.40
SO I WAS FLYING ONE TIME AND
THEY HAD THESE TERRIBLE FOREST
00:23:17.40\00:23:21.23
FIRES AND I HAD TO FLY AROUND
IT AND IT LOOKED LIKE A NUCLEAR
00:23:21.23\00:23:23.80
EXPLOSION HAD GONE UP - A BIG
MUSHROOM CLOUD AND I THOUGHT TO
00:23:23.80\00:23:27.33
MYSELF, 'WOW, THIS IS JUST ONE
LITTLE ISOLATED FIRE AND WHAT
00:23:27.33\00:23:32.33
WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN
THE EARTH IS ON FIRE?'
00:23:32.33\00:23:35.90
ALL THE EARTH - GOD'S
GOING TO PURIFY THE PLANET.
00:23:35.90\00:23:39.00
NOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY
ABOUT THAT IF YOU'RE SAVED,
00:23:39.00\00:23:41.03
BECAUSE HE EVACUATES
HIS CHILDREN FROM THE PLANET
00:23:41.03\00:23:45.33
WHEN HE COMES.
00:23:45.33\00:23:45.96
YOU REMEMBER WE LEARNED THAT.
00:23:45.96\00:23:46.56
WE ARE CAUGHT UP - JESUS SAID,
'I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE AND I
00:23:46.56\00:23:50.90
WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE
YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT WHERE I AM
00:23:50.90\00:23:53.76
THERE YE MAY BE ALSO.'
WE'RE CAUGHT UP TO MEET THE LORD
00:23:53.76\00:23:56.70
WHEN HE COMES AND SO WE
DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED.
00:23:56.70\00:23:59.46
IS THE DEVIL IN CHARGE OF HELL?
00:23:59.46\00:24:03.06
IT SAYS THAT DEATH AND HADES
WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:24:03.06\00:24:07.76
THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.
00:24:07.76\00:24:10.00
NOW THE WORD HADES HERE COMES
FROM - IT'S THE GREEK WORD -
00:24:10.00\00:24:13.90
IT MEANS THE GRAVE.
00:24:13.90\00:24:15.83
HOW CAN HELL BE CAST INTO HELL?
00:24:15.83\00:24:17.63
THAT WOULDN'T MAKANY SENSE.
00:24:17.63\00:24:19.10
IT MEANS DEATH AND THE GRAVE
ARE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:24:19.10\00:24:22.73
THERE'S NO MORE
DEATH - WHICH IS AN ENEMY -
00:24:22.73\00:24:24.53
GOD DOESN'T WANT DEATH.
00:24:24.53\00:24:25.66
GOD DOESN'T WANT THE GRAVE.
00:24:25.66\00:24:27.23
DEATH AND THE
GRAVE ARE DESTROYED.
00:24:27.23\00:24:29.16
SO THERE'S ONLY LIFE - NO PAIN.
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.70
AND ANYONE WHO'S NOT FOUND
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
00:24:31.70\00:24:34.50
IS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:24:34.50\00:24:37.53
FRIENDS, THERE'S REALLY
TWO CHOICES: NEW BODIES -
00:24:37.53\00:24:40.36
EVERLASTING LIFE OR - AND,
BY THE WAY, YOU'VE ALSO GOT TWO
00:24:40.36\00:24:45.20
CHOICES, EITHER JESUS TAKES YOUR
SIN AND YOU ACCEPT HIS SACRIFICE
00:24:45.20\00:24:48.86
IN YOUR BEHALF AND YOU LIVE
A NEW LIFE AND GET A NEW HEART
00:24:48.86\00:24:51.43
OR YOU THEN WILL BE
JUDGED FOR YOUR SIN.
00:24:51.43\00:24:55.30
NOT ONLY DO I NOT WANT
TO LOSE HEAVEN, I DON'T WANT
00:24:55.30\00:24:59.46
TO PAY FOR WHAT I'VE DONE.
00:24:59.46\00:25:01.76
I DON'T WANT TO
SEE IT PAID FOR TWICE.
00:25:01.76\00:25:03.83
JESUS HAS ALREADY SUFFERED FOR
WHAT I'VE DONE, IT WOULD BE A
00:25:03.83\00:25:06.93
SHAME FOR ME TO ALSO
SUFFER FOR IT, WOULDN'T IT?
00:25:06.93\00:25:09.50
ISN'T THE BIBLE CLEAR?
00:25:09.50\00:25:11.40
'EVERY MAN IS REWARDED
ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS.'
00:25:11.40\00:25:13.93
ISN'T THE BIBLE CLEAR
THAT JESUS PAID FOR OUR SIN?
00:25:13.93\00:25:17.26
IS THERE ANY SIN IN THIS
LIFE THAT'S WORTH MORE TO YOU
00:25:17.26\00:25:19.90
THAN JESUS?
00:25:19.90\00:25:21.70
ANY SIN THAT'S MORE PRECIOUS
TO YOU THAN EVERLASTING LIFE?
00:25:21.70\00:25:25.23
DON'T BE FOOLED FRIENDS.
00:25:25.23\00:25:28.43

>>WHAT IS GOD'S
REAL PURPOSE IN HELLFIRE?
00:25:39.60\00:25:42.00
HE'S GETTING EVEN WITH
THESE REBELLIOUS CHILDREN
00:25:42.00\00:25:44.30
SO HE'S GOING TO
TORTURE THEM THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:25:44.30\00:25:46.66
IS THAT HIS PURPOSE?
00:25:46.66\00:25:50.46
THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT GOD
IS A SADIST IS SO OPPOSITE.
00:25:50.46\00:25:53.53
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE
DEVIL WANTS PEOPLE TO THINK.
00:25:53.53\00:25:59.13
