00:01:17.47\00:01:19.97

>>THE MESSAGE FOR THIS MORNING
IS TITLED 'THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT
00:01:51.27\00:01:55.28
HELL - PART 1'. NOW
THIS IS A VERY RELEVANT
00:01:55.31\00:02:02.92
THING FOR US TO TALK ABOUT
BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS PRETTY
00:02:02.95\00:02:06.99
CLEAR THERE ARE ONLY TWO
CHOICES THAT EVERY HUMAN FACES.
00:02:07.02\00:02:13.26
THERE ARE TWO DESTINIES EVERYONE
AROUND YOU IS GOING TO EMBRACE.
00:02:13.29\00:02:17.77
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 20,
VERSE 15, "AND ANYONE NOT FOUND
00:02:17.80\00:02:22.14
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE."
00:02:22.17\00:02:28.41
THERE ARE TWO CHOICES - LIFE OR
DEATH - ETERNAL LIFE OR THE LAKE
00:02:28.44\00:02:35.68
OF FIRE,
SOMETIMES KNOWN AS HELL.
00:02:35.72\00:02:37.45
I ALWAYS FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD
SAYING THAT WORD IN CHURCH.
00:02:37.49\00:02:40.89
MOST PEOPLE DON'T USE THAT
WORD IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE,
00:02:40.92\00:02:44.09
BUT IT IS A BIBLICAL
WORD AND JUST APPRECIATE
00:02:44.13\00:02:46.36
THAT'S THE WAY I'M USING IT.
00:02:46.39\00:02:48.53
AND, KIND OF, THE COLLECTIVE
IDEA OF HELL IS THAT THERE'S
00:02:48.56\00:02:53.37
THIS MOLTEN PLACE, TYPICALLY
DOWN YONDER SOMEWHERE, WHERE THE
00:02:53.40\00:03:01.61
LOST GO AS SOON AS THEY DIE AND
THAT THEY BEGIN BURNING THERE
00:03:01.64\00:03:07.15
BUT THEY'RE ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS
AND THEY FEEL THE BURNING AND
00:03:07.18\00:03:12.49
THEY DON'T BURN FOR A SECOND
OR TWO, BUT THEY BURN IN THIS
00:03:12.52\00:03:16.32
MOLTEN FIRE AND SULPHUR AND
BRIMSTONE AGONIZING SECOND AFTER
00:03:16.36\00:03:22.26
SECOND AND MINUTE AFTER MINUTE
AND HOUR AFTER HOUR AND DAY
00:03:22.30\00:03:26.57
AFTER DAY AND WEEK AND
MONTH AND YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
00:03:26.60\00:03:30.11
MILLENNIUM AFTER MILLENNIUM.
00:03:30.14\00:03:31.64
ALL THAT TIME THEY'RE ROLLING
AND BLISTERING AND SHRIEKING AND
00:03:31.67\00:03:34.44
CRYING FOR MERCY AND MERCY NEVER
COMES AND AFTER A BILLION YEARS
00:03:34.48\00:03:39.41
GO BY THEY MANAGE TO SWIM TO THE
SURFACE OF THIS MOLTEN BRIMSTONE
00:03:39.45\00:03:43.49
AND THEY CALL 'LORD, HOW LONG?'
AND GOD SAYS, 'YOU'VE ONLY JUST
00:03:43.52\00:03:46.79
BEGUN.' AND HE PUSHES THEM UNDER
AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED.
00:03:46.82\00:03:52.16
YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
THIS IS WHAT IS BELIEVED BY THE
00:03:52.19\00:03:56.36
TYPICAL BAPTIST AND
MANY EVANGELICALS ABOUT HELL.
00:03:56.40\00:04:00.14
SOME TRY TO SOFTEN IT A LITTLE
BIT AND THEY SIMPLY CALL IT
00:04:00.17\00:04:03.27
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.61
BUT THEN YOU PIN THEM DOWN AND
SAY, 'WELL, WHAT ARE THESE LOST
00:04:05.64\00:04:07.88
SOULS EXPERIENCING?'
'WELL, THEY'RE BEING TORMENTED
00:04:07.91\00:04:12.21
DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND
EVER IN FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.'
00:04:12.25\00:04:16.32
THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULT
PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE
00:04:16.35\00:04:19.05
FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD
AND I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME,
00:04:19.09\00:04:22.29
SPECIFICALLY NEXT
WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:04:22.32\00:04:26.03
BUT IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT SOME OF
00:04:26.06\00:04:29.36
THE GOOD NEWS IS ON THIS SUBJECT
AND TRY AND CLEAR UP SOME OF
00:04:29.40\00:04:32.67
THESE MISUNDERSTANDINGS BECAUSE
THIS TYPICAL TRADITIONAL VIEW OF
00:04:32.70\00:04:36.74
HELL IS NOT WHAT WAS TAUGHT
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OR THE NEW
00:04:36.77\00:04:40.21
TESTAMENT OR
BELIEVED BY THE EARLY CHURCH.
00:04:40.24\00:04:42.64
IT HAS BEEN DISTORTED THROUGH
THE DARK AGES AND EXPLOITED BY
00:04:42.68\00:04:46.92
THE CHURCH TO
DRIVE PEOPLE BY FEAR.
00:04:46.95\00:04:51.55
MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
DRIVEN BY FEAR REGARDING THIS
00:04:51.59\00:04:54.72
SUBJECT AND IT DISTORTS THE
PICTURE OF GOD - IT PAINTS GOD
00:04:54.76\00:04:58.73
AS A SADIST. AND I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:58.76\00:05:02.76
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY
TEACHES ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
00:05:02.80\00:05:05.53
FIRST OF ALL, IS ANYBODY
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW?
00:05:05.57\00:05:08.24
WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE TEACH ABOUT THIS?
00:05:08.27\00:05:10.17
2 PETER - WE'LL HAVE SCRIPTURES
ON THE SCREEN, BUT I HOPE YOU'LL
00:05:10.21\00:05:12.84
ALSO WRITE THEM DOWN SO YOU'LL
HAVE AN OUTLINE IN YOUR HANDS.
00:05:12.87\00:05:17.31
2 PETER CHAPTER 2, VERSE
9 "...THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO
00:05:17.35\00:05:22.58
DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF
TEMPTATIONS AND TO RESERVE THE
00:05:22.62\00:05:26.89
UNJUST" - YOU'VE GOT TWO GROUPS:
THE GODLY AND THE UNJUST -
00:05:26.92\00:05:30.66
"UNDER PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY
OF JUDGMENT," - SO WHEN ARE THE
00:05:30.69\00:05:34.30
UNJUST PUNISHED?
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
00:05:34.36\00:05:38.13
THAT DAY IS NOT
THE DAY OF THEIR DEATH.
00:05:38.17\00:05:40.07
THERE IS A GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY COMING.
00:05:40.10\00:05:42.97
JOHN 12:48 JESUS SAID, "HE WHO
REJECTS ME, AND DOES NOT RECEIVE
00:05:43.00\00:05:47.61
MY WORDS, HAS THAT WHICH JUDGES
HIM - THE WORD THAT I HAVE
00:05:47.64\00:05:52.01
SPOKEN WILL JUDGE
HIM IN THE LAST DAY."
00:05:52.05\00:05:55.48
CHRIST IS LOOKING OFF INTO THE
FUTURE AT THAT DAY OF THE LORD -
00:05:55.52\00:05:58.95
THAT GREAT JUDGMENT DAY - AND HE
SAYS 'THAT IS THE DAY WHEN THEY
00:05:58.99\00:06:03.83
WILL BE JUDGED BY THE
WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN.'
00:06:03.86\00:06:05.99
THEY ARE NOT JUDGED YET.
00:06:06.03\00:06:07.60
THEY ARE NOT
RECEIVING THEIR REWARD YET.
00:06:07.66\00:06:11.10
AND THEN, IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT,
IT'S REALLY CLEAR WHEN YOU LOOK
00:06:11.13\00:06:14.34
AT THE PARABLE THAT JESUS TOLD
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 13, VERSE 40 -
00:06:14.37\00:06:18.77
DO YOU KNOW THE PARABLE OF THE
WHEAT AND THE TARES? HERE JESUS
00:06:18.81\00:06:23.24
TALKS ABOUT A MAN HAD A FIELD
AND SOME ENEMY CAME DURING THE
00:06:23.28\00:06:25.88
NIGHT AND HE SOWED THESE
TARES - TARES ARE LIKE A WEED.
00:06:25.91\00:06:29.18
HE SOWED THESE WEEDS IN AMONG
THE WHEAT AND IT ALL GREW UP AND
00:06:29.22\00:06:32.52
THE SERVANTS
SAID, 'WHAT SHALL WE DO?
00:06:32.55\00:06:34.06
SHALL WE PULL UP ALL THE WEEDS?'
AND THE MASTER SAID, 'NO, LET IT
00:06:34.09\00:06:37.79
GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST
AND AT THE HARVEST THEN WE'LL
00:06:37.83\00:06:41.26
GATHER THE TARES AND
BURN THEM IN BUNDLES AND WE'LL
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.67
GATHER THE WHEAT
AND PUT IT IN THE BARN.
00:06:43.70\00:06:46.47
AND SO JESUS, LATER,
INTERPRETING THAT PARABLE FOR
00:06:46.50\00:06:49.54
THE DISCIPLES SO THERE'S NO
MISUNDERSTANDING HE SAID - AND
00:06:49.57\00:06:53.04
THIS IS MATTHEW 13, VERSE
40, "THEREFORE AS THE TARES ARE
00:06:53.07\00:06:57.78
GATHERED AND BURNED IN
THE FIRE, SO IT WILL BE AT
00:06:57.81\00:07:01.78
THE END OF THIS AGE.
00:07:01.82\00:07:05.62
THE SON OF MAN WILL SEND OUT HIS
ANGELS," - WHEN JESUS COMES -
00:07:05.65\00:07:08.86
"AND THEY WILL GATHER OUT OF HIS
KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND,
00:07:08.89\00:07:11.63
AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS," - THE WICKED - THE
00:07:11.66\00:07:14.30
LOST - "AND WILL CAST
THEM INTO THE FURNACE OF FIRE.
00:07:14.30\00:07:17.20
THERE WILL BE WAILING
AND GNASHING OF TEETH."
00:07:17.23\00:07:21.07
ALRIGHT, WELL ONE THING WE DID
LEARN - THERE IS A FURNACE OF
00:07:21.10\00:07:23.84
FIRE BUT WE ALSO LEARNED THAT
THEY'RE NOT BURNING THERE YET
00:07:23.87\00:07:28.21
BECAUSE THE JUDGMENT
DAY HAS NOT HAPPENED.
00:07:28.24\00:07:30.11
THIS HARVEST HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. THE RESURRECTION OF THE
00:07:30.15\00:07:32.85
WICKED HAS NOT HAPPENED
YET. IT IS STILL IN THE FUTURE.
00:07:32.88\00:07:36.22
SO I HOPE THAT YOU FIND SOME
GOOD NEWS RIGHT THERE - THAT
00:07:36.25\00:07:39.32
NOBODY IS BURNING IN HELL RIGHT
NOW. SO WHERE ARE THE LOST NOW?
00:07:39.35\00:07:44.49
JESUS ANSWERS THAT IN JOHN 4,
VERSES 28 AND 29, "DO NOT MARVEL
00:07:44.53\00:07:49.00
AT THIS; FOR THE HOUR IS COMING"
- FUTURE TENSE - "IN WHICH ALL
00:07:49.03\00:07:53.67
WHO ARE IN THE GRAVES WILL HEAR
HIS VOICE AND COME FORTH -" -
00:07:53.70\00:07:58.41
THEY HAVEN'T COME FORTH YET
- THERE'S AN HOUR COMING WHEN
00:07:58.44\00:08:00.71
THEY'LL COME FORTH -
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE
00:08:00.74\00:08:03.28
RESURRECTION OF LIFE," - THAT'S
FIRST - DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:08:03.31\00:08:06.15
FIRST. ISN'T THAT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:08:06.18\00:08:08.42
- "AND THOSE WHO HAVE DONE
EVIL, TO THE RESURRECTION OF
00:08:08.45\00:08:10.35
CONDEMNATION." -
OR THE RESURRECTION OF
00:08:10.39\00:08:12.25
DAMNATION - THE RESURRECTION
OF THE LOST SPOKEN OF ALSO IN
00:08:12.29\00:08:16.89
DANIEL CHAPTER 12.
JESUS SAID IT'S IN THE FUTURE.
00:08:16.93\00:08:20.86
YOU'VE GOT A RESURRECTION OF THE
SAVED - THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:08:20.90\00:08:23.77
FIRST. THAT'S IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4.
00:08:23.80\00:08:26.43
AND THEN THERE'S THE
RESURRECTION OF THE LOST THAT
00:08:26.47\00:08:28.60
HAPPENS AT THE END OF
THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:08:28.64\00:08:30.77
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN REVELATION
20, 'THE REST OF THE DEAD DO NOT
00:08:30.81\00:08:34.31
LIVE UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS ARE FINISHED.'
00:08:34.34\00:08:36.81
IF THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST
- ALL THE DEAD WHO ARE SAVED
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.91
RISE FIRST - WHO ARE
THE REST OF THE DEAD?
00:08:39.95\00:08:42.52
THE DEAD WITHOUT
CHRIST - THE LOST.
00:08:42.55\00:08:46.12
THAT'S THE RESURRECTION OF
DAMNATION OR CONDEMNATION THE
00:08:46.15\00:08:50.33
BIBLE SPEAKS OF - IT'S IN THE
FUTURE - HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:08:50.36\00:08:55.03
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON WITH THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE END RESULT
00:08:55.06\00:08:58.83
OF SIN? WELL, LET'S LET
THE BIBLE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
00:08:58.87\00:09:04.61
JAMES 1:15, "...SIN, WHEN IT IS
FINISHED, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH."
00:09:04.64\00:09:12.08
SO THERE ARE TWO REWARDS
THAT ARE OFFERED: LIFE OR DEATH.
00:09:12.11\00:09:17.12
MOSES SAID, BEFORE THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL ENTERED THE PROMISED
00:09:17.15\00:09:19.42
LAND THERE IN DEUTERONOMY
IN CHAPTER 30, HE SAID, 'I SET
00:09:19.45\00:09:23.53
BEFORE YOU THIS DAY LIFE AND
GOOD AND BLESSING OR DEATH AND
00:09:23.56\00:09:26.46
EVIL AND CURSING.' THE
OPTIONS FOR EVERYBODY IS IF
00:09:26.49\00:09:29.90
YOUR NAME IS IN THE
BOOK OF LIFE YOU LIVE.
00:09:29.93\00:09:31.93
IF YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE BOOK
OF LIFE YOU WILL BE PUNISHED AND
00:09:31.97\00:09:35.84
YOU DIE. THE END
RESULT OF SIN IS NOT
00:09:35.87\00:09:39.24
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE.
IT DOESN'T SAY THAT IN THE
00:09:39.27\00:09:41.68
BIBLE. THE BIBLE
DOESN'T SAY ANYWHERE
00:09:41.71\00:09:44.08
THAT YOU'VE GOT
AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:44.11\00:09:46.45
I ALWAYS STOP AND I JUST ASK
ANYBODY - I MEAN, HERE WE'VE GOT
00:09:46.48\00:09:50.82
OH, SIX OR SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE,
SHOW ME ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE
00:09:50.85\00:09:54.26
THAT SAYS YOU
HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.13
GOD IS IMMORTAL, BUT IMMORTALITY
IS GIVEN AT THE RESURRECTION.
00:09:57.16\00:10:03.06
NOBODY NOW
POSSESSES IMMORTALITY.
00:10:03.10\00:10:05.03
MATTER OF FACT, OUR
BODIES ARE CALLED MORTAL BODIES.
00:10:05.07\00:10:07.90
WHEN JESUS COMES, THEN
THIS MORTAL PUTS ON IMMORTALITY.
00:10:07.94\00:10:12.34
JOHN 3:16 - ACTUALLY I THINK
I'VE GOT ONE IN ROMANS FIRST -
00:10:12.37\00:10:17.48
LET'S DO ROMANS 6:23.
"FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH,
00:10:17.51\00:10:22.92
BUT THE GIFT OF
GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE."
00:10:22.95\00:10:25.79
EVERYBODY HERE -
YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS.
00:10:25.82\00:10:28.69
AND I CAN PROMISE YOU SOMETHING:
EVERYBODY HERE WILL RECEIVE ONE
00:10:28.72\00:10:31.49
OF THOSE TWO OPTIONS. AND
WHAT ARE THOSE TWO OPTIONS?
00:10:31.53\00:10:36.83
DEATH - HE DOESN'T SAY 'THE
WAGES FOR SIN IS ETERNAL LIFE IN
00:10:36.87\00:10:40.30
THE FIRE.' HE SAYS,
'THE WAGES FOR SIN IS DEATH.'
00:10:40.34\00:10:44.21
THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE.
NOW, DID JESUS DIE FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:44.24\00:10:49.04
DID JESUS TAKE THE
PENALTY FOR OUR SINS?
00:10:49.08\00:10:52.51
DID JESUS JUST FALL OVER AND
DIE OR DID HE SUFFER AND DIE?
00:10:52.55\00:10:57.42
SO THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS NOT
JUST DEATH, THE ULTIMATE PENALTY
00:10:57.45\00:11:00.49
IS DEATH, BUT HE
SUFFERED AND DIED.
00:11:00.52\00:11:04.89
SO IF WE DO NOT EMBRACE
THE SACRIFICE JESUS MADE IN OUR
00:11:04.93\00:11:08.20
BEHALF, WE WILL ALSO SUFFER AND
DIE FOR OUR OWN SINS IF WE DO
00:11:08.23\00:11:13.80
NOT ACCEPT HIM
AS OUR REPLACEMENT.
00:11:13.84\00:11:18.54
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE SO FAR?
00:11:18.57\00:11:21.61
JOHN 3:16 - TWO OPTIONS - "FOR
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
00:11:21.64\00:11:26.51
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD
00:11:26.55\00:11:31.39
NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING
LIFE." THERE'S ONLY TWO OPTIONS.
00:11:31.42\00:11:37.83
ONE OPTION IS NOT
ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FIRE -
00:11:37.86\00:11:40.66
PERISH IS THE ABSENCE OF LIFE.
00:11:40.70\00:11:42.56
THEY'RE GOING TO
PERISH OR EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:11:42.60\00:11:46.03
JESUS MADE THAT CLEAR
RIGHT THERE IN JOHN 3:16.
00:11:46.07\00:11:49.17
OKAY, QUESTION #4: WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE WICKED IN HELLFIRE?
00:11:49.20\00:11:53.94
PSALM 37, VERSE 10 AND THEN I'M
ALSO GOING TO READ VERSE 20 -
00:11:53.98\00:11:58.21
YOU OUGHT TO
READ THE WHOLE PSALM.
00:11:58.25\00:11:59.75
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
WICKED IN HELLFIRE? HERE WE GO.
00:11:59.78\00:12:03.18
"FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND THE
WICKED SHALL NOT BE: YEAH, THOU
00:12:03.22\00:12:07.32
SHALT DILIGENTLY CONSIDER
HIS PLACE, AND IT SHALL NOT BE."
00:12:07.36\00:12:12.19
THEY'LL NOT BE. I MEAN, WHAT
OTHER TERM OR WORDS DO YOU USE
00:12:12.23\00:12:16.03
TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING CEASING
TO EXIST? THEY'LL NOT BE.
00:12:16.06\00:12:19.07
'THE WICKED SHALL PERISH
AND THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD
00:12:19.10\00:12:22.17
WILL CONSUME INTO
SMOKE. THEY WILL CONSUME AWAY.'
00:12:22.20\00:12:25.64
AND I'VE HEARD SOME PASTORS
SAY, 'WELL, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
00:12:25.67\00:12:27.88
THE BODIES ALL BURN UP BUT THE
SOUL CONTINUES TO BURN FOREVER.'
00:12:27.91\00:12:32.45
OH, BUT JESUS SAID 'THE
SOUL THAT SINS IT WILL DIE.'
00:12:32.48\00:12:35.45
ACTUALLY, THAT'S IN EZEKIEL
- JESUS SAID, 'FEAR NOT HIM WHO
00:12:35.48\00:12:38.15
DESTROYS THE BODY'
- MATTHEW CHAPTER 10 -
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.56
'BUT CANNOT DESTROY THE SOUL.
00:12:40.59\00:12:42.19
RATHER, FEAR HIM WHO
DESTROYS SOUL AND BODY IN HELL.'
00:12:42.22\00:12:46.36
IT'S NOT JUST THE BODY THAT
BURNS UP - THE SOUL AND BODY.
00:12:46.39\00:12:49.86
MALACHI 4, VERSE 1 - THIS WAS
IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING - "'FOR
00:12:49.90\00:12:53.84
BEHOLD, THE DAY IS COMING,
BURNING LIKE AN OVEN, AND ALL
00:12:53.87\00:12:57.31
THE PROUD, YES, ALL WHO
DO WICKEDLY WILL BE STUBBLE.
00:12:57.34\00:13:01.41
AND THE DAY WHICH IS
COMING SHALL BURN THEM UP.'
00:13:01.44\00:13:04.18
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS, 'THAT
WILL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR
00:13:04.21\00:13:07.35
BRANCH.'" YOU THINK
ABOUT THE WORDS THAT
00:13:07.38\00:13:10.12
GOD IS USING HERE. LET
ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE AND
00:13:10.15\00:13:12.42
I'LL JUST TRY AND SUM
THIS THOUGHT UP FOR YOU.
00:13:12.45\00:13:15.02
REVELATION 21, VERSES 7 AND 8,
"HE WHO OVERCOMES WILL INHERIT
00:13:15.06\00:13:19.93
ALL THINGS" - THERE'S THE GOOD
NEWS, RIGHT? - "AND I WILL BE
00:13:19.96\00:13:23.06
HIS GOD AND HE WILL BE
MY SON." - SO ON ONE SIDE
00:13:23.10\00:13:26.03
YOU'VE GOT A SHEEP -
THEY GET THE EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:13:26.07\00:13:29.97
THEY'RE SAVED. - "BUT" -
00:13:30.01\00:13:32.11
THIS IS VERSE 8 -
REVELATION 21, VERSE 8 -
00:13:32.14\00:13:34.94
"THE COWARDLY, UNBELIEVING,
ABOMINABLE, MURDERERS, SEXUALLY
00:13:34.98\00:13:40.82
IMMORAL, SORCERERS, IDOLATERS,
AND ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR
00:13:40.85\00:13:45.19
PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHICH
00:13:45.22\00:13:49.32
IS THE SECOND DEATH."
00:13:49.36\00:13:52.33
REVELATION 20, VERSE 9 -
WHERE IS HELL GOING TO BURN?
00:13:52.36\00:13:56.83
AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM
WHEN SATAN MARSHALS THOSE LOST
00:13:56.87\00:14:00.57
FORCES AGAINST THE CITY OF GOD
IT SAYS, "THEY WENT UP ON THE
00:14:00.60\00:14:03.61
BREADTH OF THE EARTH AND
SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF THE
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.11
SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY.
00:14:06.14\00:14:08.11
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT
OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:14:08.14\00:14:11.48
THAT FIRE THAT RAINS DOWN
SURROUNDING THE NEW JERUSALEM
00:14:11.51\00:14:14.88
FORMS A LAKE OF FIRE. IT IS
ON THE EARTH. SO WHERE IS HELL
00:14:14.92\00:14:18.62
GOING TO BURN? ON THE EARTH.
I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MORE VERSES.
00:14:18.65\00:14:23.06
PROVERBS 11, VERSE 31, "...THE
RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE RECOMPENSED
00:14:23.09\00:14:27.50
IN THE EARTH: MUCH MORE
THE WICKED AND THE SINNER."
00:14:27.56\00:14:31.23
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO GET THEIR
REWARD IN THE VERY PLACE OF THE
00:14:31.27\00:14:34.27
CRIME - RIGHT
HERE ON THE PLANET.
00:14:34.30\00:14:36.64
2 PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10,
"BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:14:36.67\00:14:40.44
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, IN
WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS AWAY
00:14:40.48\00:14:43.41
WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE
ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH FERVENT
00:14:43.45\00:14:46.98
HEAT; BOTH THE EARTH
AND THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT
00:14:47.02\00:14:49.45
WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:14:49.48\00:14:51.45
SO IT'S ALWAYS FOCUSED - THAT
JUDGMENT IS RIGHT DOWN HERE.
00:14:51.49\00:14:54.72
HELL IS NOT A CAVERN OFF IN THE
COSMOS SOMEWHERE - THAT'S FULL
00:14:54.76\00:14:59.86
OF MOLTEN FIRE - HELL IS
NOT A CAVERN DOWN IN THE EARTH
00:14:59.89\00:15:04.37
SOMEWHERE, IT'S ON
THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH.
00:15:04.40\00:15:07.40
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
BECAUSE ONCE YOU KNOW WHERE HELL
00:15:07.44\00:15:10.94
IS, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT FOR
GOD TO MAKE A NEW EARTH ON THIS
00:15:10.97\00:15:14.44
PLANET THE TWO
CAN'T COEXIST TOGETHER.
00:15:14.48\00:15:17.41
THAT MEANS THE
FIRES OF HELL MUST GO OUT.
00:15:17.45\00:15:21.75
NUMBER 6 - THIS IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS THAT I
00:15:21.78\00:15:26.22
THINK IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS.
HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED SUFFER
00:15:26.25\00:15:30.23
IN THE FIRE? WELL,
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:15:30.26\00:15:33.03
GIVE US AN EXACT TIME BECAUSE
IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON.
00:15:33.06\00:15:37.97
REVELATION 22:12, JESUS SAID
- LAST CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE -
00:15:38.00\00:15:43.10
"AND, BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY;
AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO
00:15:43.14\00:15:46.94
GIVE EVERY MAN
ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE."
00:15:46.98\00:15:51.08
EVERYONE IS REWARDED ACCORDING
TO HIS WORK - MEANING THERE ARE
00:15:51.11\00:15:55.08
VARYING WORKS OUT THERE
AND THERE ARE VARYING REWARDS.
00:15:55.12\00:15:58.55
IF EVERYBODY BURNS ETERNALLY
THEN EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME
00:15:58.59\00:16:02.22
REWARD. HOW CAN THERE BE
A VARIATION? 'WELL, SOME -
00:16:02.26\00:16:06.86
IT'S HOTTER FIRE THAN FOR THE
OTHERS.' WOULD BE THE ANSWER.
00:16:06.90\00:16:10.13
COME ON, IF YOU GET EVERLASTING
FIRE AND I GET EVERLASTING FIRE
00:16:10.17\00:16:12.83
- AND JUST THINK ABOUT HOW
UNJUST THAT WOULD BE THAT YOU'VE
00:16:12.87\00:16:17.44
GOT, YOU KNOW, THINK OF THE
BIGGEST FIEND YOU CAN THINK OF
00:16:17.47\00:16:20.21
FROM HISTORY - POL POT OR
ADOLPH HITLER - PICK YOUR FIEND.
00:16:20.24\00:16:23.71
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
STALIN KILLED MORE THAN HITLER.
00:16:23.75\00:16:27.18
PICK YOUR BIGGEST FIEND THAT
YOU FIGURE IS LOST AND ON THE
00:16:27.22\00:16:30.15
JUDGMENT DAY GOD SAYS,
'LOST - LAKE OF FIRE FOR YOU.'
00:16:30.19\00:16:35.89
AND THE ANGELS TOSS HIM OFF IN
THE MOLTEN LAKE OF FIRE AND THEN
00:16:35.92\00:16:38.63
YOU'VE GOT THAT TEENAGER. HE'S
PAST THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY -
00:16:38.66\00:16:43.80
HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER
BUT HE REJECTS GOD - TAKES HIS
00:16:43.83\00:16:49.74
OWN LIFE AND THE LORD SAYS,
'SORRY, YOU CAN'T BE SAVED.
00:16:49.77\00:16:55.81
YOU CAN GO BURN FOREVER
RIGHT NEXT TO ADOLPH OR STALIN.'
00:16:55.84\00:16:59.08
IS THAT JUSTICE? NO,
I JUST - IT ABSOLUTELY
00:16:59.11\00:17:04.02
VIOLATES OUR REASON.
WELL, THE BIBLE IS CLEAR.
00:17:04.05\00:17:07.69
IT SAYS THERE ARE
VARYING DEGREES OF PUNISHMENT.
00:17:07.72\00:17:09.82
AND LET ME GIVE YOU A
FEW MORE VERSES ON THAT.
00:17:09.86\00:17:11.76
MATTHEW 10:28, "AND FEAR NOT
THEM WHICH KILL THE BODY, BUT
00:17:11.79\00:17:16.16
ARE NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL:"
- I THINK I QUOTED THIS ALREADY
00:17:16.20\00:17:19.10
- "BUT RATHER FEAR HIM WHICH
IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND
00:17:19.13\00:17:23.04
BODY IN HELL." SO IN
HELL THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED.
00:17:23.07\00:17:26.24
MATTHEW 16, "...HE'LL REWARD
EVERY MAN" - 16:27 - "ACCORDING
00:17:26.27\00:17:32.58
TO HIS WORKS." EVERYBODY.
THEN AGAIN, WE'RE SAVED BY WHAT?
00:17:32.61\00:17:37.05
WORKS OR FAITH? WE'RE SAVED
BY FAITH AND GRACE BUT WORKS ARE
00:17:37.09\00:17:41.22
THE ONLY THING THAT'S USED
IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:17:41.26\00:17:44.39
WILL THE FIRE EVENTUALLY GO OUT?
ISAIAH 47:14, IT SAYS, "BEHOLD,
00:17:44.43\00:17:51.00
THEY SHALL BE AS STUBBLE,
THE FIRE SHALL BURN THEM;" -
00:17:51.03\00:17:54.60
SPEAKING OF THE WICKED - "THEY
SHALL NOT DELIVER THEMSELVES
00:17:54.64\00:17:57.74
FROM THE POWER OF THE FLAME; IT
SHALL NOT BE A COAL TO BE WARMED
00:17:57.77\00:18:02.41
BY, NOR A FIRE TO SIT
BEFORE." NOT EVEN A COAL LEFT.
00:18:02.44\00:18:07.15
MALACHI 4:3 MAKES IT PRETTY
CLEAR, "'YOU SHALL TRAMPLE THE
00:18:07.18\00:18:10.45
WICKED, FOR THEY SHALL BE ASHES
UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET ON
00:18:10.49\00:18:13.46
THE DAY THAT I DO
THIS,' SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS."
00:18:13.49\00:18:15.62
SO 'BLESSED ARE THE MEEK,
THEY WILL INHERIT THE EARTH.'
00:18:15.66\00:18:18.29
WE GO FORTH FROM THE NEW
JERUSALEM AFTER THE JUDGEMENT OF
00:18:18.33\00:18:20.53
THE WICKED. THEY'VE ALL
BEEN BURNED, INCLUDING THE DEVIL
00:18:20.56\00:18:22.56
AND HIS ANGELS,
ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE.
00:18:22.60\00:18:24.77
AND IF ANYBODY DESERVES
TO BURN FOREVER, WHO IS IT?
00:18:24.80\00:18:27.97
IT'D BE LUCIFER.
00:18:28.00\00:18:30.27
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS IN EZEKIEL,
'I WILL BRING FORTH A FIRE FROM
00:18:30.31\00:18:33.41
THE MIDST OF THEE AND IT WILL
DEVOUR THEE AND IT WILL BRING
00:18:33.44\00:18:36.88
THEE TO ASHES ON THE EARTH
IN THE SIGHT OF THEM THAT BEHOLD
00:18:36.91\00:18:39.68
THEE. THOU SHALT BE A TERROR AND
NEVER SHALT THOU BE ANYMORE.'
00:18:39.71\00:18:44.15
NEVER SHALT THOU BE.
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY
00:18:44.19\00:18:46.19
ABOUT HITLER ESCAPING FROM
PRISON - LIKE NAPOLEON BRIEFLY
00:18:46.22\00:18:50.59
DID - AND ANOTHER
REBELLION RISING UP.
00:18:50.63\00:18:54.23
HE IS GOING TO BE
PERMANENTLY DEALT WITH.
00:18:54.30\00:18:57.00
HE WILL BURN LONGER THAN ANYONE
ELSE - PROBABLY DAY AND NIGHT.
00:18:57.03\00:18:59.87
AND I'LL EXPLAIN THOSE
VERSES IN OUR NEXT STUDY.
00:18:59.90\00:19:04.24
AGAIN, REVELATION 21, VERSES
4 AND 5, "AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY
00:19:04.27\00:19:09.08
EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES;
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH," -
00:19:09.11\00:19:13.28
NOTICE - "NOR SORROW, NOR
CRYING." HE DOESN'T SAY NO MORE
00:19:13.31\00:19:18.09
CRYING AMONG THE SAVED, HE'S
TALKING ABOUT A WORLD MADE NEW -
00:19:18.12\00:19:21.72
A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH -
NO MORE CRYING - NO MORE CRYING
00:19:21.76\00:19:24.66
ANYWHERE. "THERE
SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN."
00:19:24.69\00:19:28.03
HOW CAN YOU HAVE THIS VAST
WAREHOUSE FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO
00:19:28.06\00:19:34.07
ARE SCREAMING AND SHRIEKING
AND GOD SAYING 'GOOD NEWS.
00:19:34.10\00:19:37.01
THERE'S NO MORE
PAIN.' WELL, THERE IS PAIN.
00:19:37.04\00:19:40.74
IF, THEORETICALLY, THE MAJORITY
OF THE WORLD IS LOST AND IF
00:19:40.78\00:19:44.18
YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLIED BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITHING AND
00:19:44.21\00:19:47.52
SHRIEKING IN MOLTEN FIRE FOR
ETERNITY, FOR GOD TO SAY, 'GOOD
00:19:47.55\00:19:51.62
NEWS, THERE'S NO MORE PAIN.'
AND WOULDN'T WE HAVE TO ALL BE
00:19:51.65\00:19:55.26
BRAINWASHED AND NOT REMEMBER ANY
OF THE PEOPLE WE KNEW IN THIS
00:19:55.29\00:19:57.86
LIFE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT?
AND THEN WE'D JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:19:57.89\00:20:02.33
GOD'S GOING TO BRAINWASH US LIKE
THAT SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
00:20:02.36\00:20:04.50
GOING ON - I WISH
HE'D DO IT NOW, RIGHT?
00:20:04.53\00:20:08.87
JUST MAKE ME A SAINT RIGHT NOW
AND MAKE ME OBLIVIOUS TO ALL THE
00:20:08.90\00:20:11.44
SUFFERING RIGHT NOW. BUT
HE'S NOT. WE'RE GOING TO KNOW.
00:20:11.47\00:20:16.64
THAT'S WHY HE'S GOT TO DRY AWAY
TEARS BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO
00:20:16.68\00:20:18.85
BE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST AND
THEY'RE PUNISHED BUT THEY'RE
00:20:18.88\00:20:24.59
GOING TO BE PUT
OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:20:24.62\00:20:26.09
GOD IS GOING TO COMFORT
US BY SAYING, 'GOOD NEWS.
00:20:26.12\00:20:28.36
NO MORE PAIN. THEY'RE
NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE.'
00:20:28.39\00:20:32.53
THEY ARE ETERNALLY
SEPARATED FROM GOD, YES.
00:20:32.56\00:20:35.13
THEY ARE DESTROYED WITH
ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, YES.
00:20:35.16\00:20:38.07
THE FIRE THAT BURNS THEM IS
AN ETERNAL FIRE - THEY ARE BURNT
00:20:38.10\00:20:40.47
FOREVER - GONE - BUT
THEY'RE NOT STILL BURNING.
00:20:40.50\00:20:49.28
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED
00:20:49.31\00:20:53.38
THERE'S A STORY IN THE BIBLE
THAT TELLS US EXACTLY HOW IT'S
00:20:53.42\00:20:55.42
GOING TO END.
00:20:55.45\00:20:56.58
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THE STORY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH?
00:20:56.62\00:21:01.76
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THERE
THAT - IN GENESIS 19:24 - I'LL
00:21:01.79\00:21:10.63
NEVER FORGET, WHEN I WAS 16
YEARS OLD I LIVED ON A SAILBOAT
00:21:10.67\00:21:15.24
AND WE SAILED AROUND THE
MEDITERRANEAN AND ONE OF THE
00:21:15.27\00:21:17.17
PLACES THEY TOOK US
WAS THE RUINS OF POMPEII.
00:21:17.21\00:21:21.78
THERE, NOT FAR FROM THE FOOT OF
MOUNT VESUVIUS, THE VOLCANO BLEW
00:21:21.81\00:21:25.68
UP IN ABOUT 79 A.D. AND IT
SHOWERED THE CITIES OF POMPEII
00:21:25.71\00:21:31.69
AND HERCULANEUM
WITH ASHES AND BRIMSTONE.
00:21:31.72\00:21:34.19
AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ESCAPED.
PLINY THE ELDER, I THINK, TALKED
00:21:34.22\00:21:39.19
ABOUT IT IN A LETTER TO HIS
COUSIN AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE
00:21:39.23\00:21:43.16
ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT TO THE
WATER AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY
00:21:43.20\00:21:45.23
ABLE TO ESCAPE THE CLOUD OF
GASES AND ASH THAT CAME DOWN AND
00:21:45.27\00:21:49.37
SO MANY PEOPLE IN THAT - IT
WAS THE LAS VEGAS OF THE ROMAN
00:21:49.40\00:21:51.91
EMPIRE BACK THEN. YOU
CAN TELL FROM THE FRESCOS ON
00:21:51.94\00:21:54.84
THE WALLS - THEY'VE GOT ORGIES
PAINTED ON THE WALLS AND BASIC
00:21:54.88\00:21:57.91
PORNOGRAPHY THAT
SURVIVED. THEY FOUND IT IN 1874.
00:21:57.95\00:22:01.92
IT HAD BEEN BURIED UNDER 20
FEET OF ASH AND THEY'VE BEEN
00:22:01.95\00:22:04.69
EXCAVATING IT EVER SINCE.
IT'S NOT EVEN ALL EXCAVATED YET.
00:22:04.72\00:22:08.29
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN THEY CAME
TO A CAVITY AND THEY THOUGHT,
00:22:08.32\00:22:12.03
WAIT A SECOND, THERE WAS
SOMETHING IN HERE AND SO THEY'D
00:22:12.06\00:22:14.76
MIX UP PLASTER OF PARIS AND
THEY'D POUR IT IN AND THEY'D LET
00:22:14.83\00:22:17.80
IT DRY AND THEN THEY'D TAKE AWAY
THE ASH AND THEY FOUND WHAT WAS
00:22:17.83\00:22:20.47
IN THERE AND THESE ARE SOME
OF THE FORMS THAT THEY FOUND.
00:22:20.50\00:22:23.27
THESE GHOSTLY SHAPES OF PEOPLE
- REAL PEOPLE WHO LIVED - THAT
00:22:23.30\00:22:27.84
WERE BASICALLY INCINERATED -
THEY DIED BUT IT LEFT A VACUUM
00:22:27.88\00:22:31.78
ONCE THEIR BODIES
DECOMPOSED IN THAT CHAMBER.
00:22:31.81\00:22:35.72
AND IT WAS JUST AN AWFUL
DESTRUCTION. FIRE RAINED FROM
00:22:35.75\00:22:41.09
HEAVEN, YOU MIGHT SAY, AND BURNT
THE CITY OF POMPEII. THAT MADE
00:22:41.12\00:22:43.99
A PRETTY DEEP IMPRESSION ON
ME WHEN I SAW THAT AS A TEENAGER
00:22:44.03\00:22:48.66
AND I KIND OF WAS WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT MY FUTURE WAS.
00:22:48.70\00:22:53.44
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT THAT'S NOT THAT
00:22:53.47\00:22:54.80
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
HAPPENED TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:22:54.84\00:22:57.64
GENESIS 19:24, "THEN THE LORD
RAINED BRIMSTONE AND FIRE ON
00:22:57.67\00:23:03.18
SODOM AND GOMORRAH, FROM
THE LORD OUT OF THE HEAVENS."
00:23:03.21\00:23:07.68
AND JESUS, DESCRIBING THE
END OF THE WORLD IN LUKE CHAPTER
00:23:07.72\00:23:11.52
17:28-30, SAYS IT'S
GOING TO BE SIMILAR.
00:23:11.55\00:23:14.32
"LIKEWISE, AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF LOT: THEY ATE, THEY DRANK,
00:23:14.36\00:23:18.36
THEY BOUGHT, THEY SOLD, THEY
PLANTED, THEY BUILT; BUT ON THE
00:23:18.39\00:23:21.06
DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM
IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE
00:23:21.10\00:23:24.63
FROM HEAVEN AND DESTROYED
THEM ALL. EVEN SO WILL IT BE
00:23:24.67\00:23:27.40
IN THE DAY WHEN THE
SON OF MAN IS REVEALED."
00:23:27.44\00:23:30.04
NOW HERE'S THE QUESTION: SODOM
AND GOMORRAH ARE SET FORTH AS AN
00:23:30.07\00:23:33.58
EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS FIRE IS.
ARE THEY STILL BURNING TODAY?
00:23:33.61\00:23:39.08
LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE: JUDE
1:7, "AS SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND
00:23:39.11\00:23:44.25
THE CITIES AROUND THEM
IN A SIMILAR MANNER...GIVEN
00:23:44.29\00:23:47.22
THEMSELVES OVER TO SEXUAL
IMMORALITY" - BOY, COULD IT BE
00:23:47.26\00:23:50.39
MUCH WORSE TODAY THAN IT
WAS THEN? COULD IT HAVE BEEN
00:23:50.43\00:23:53.96
MUCH WORSE THEN THAN IT
IS TODAY? COULD WE SHARE,
00:23:54.00\00:23:57.97
AS A WORLD, IN THEIR
FATES? - "HAVING GONE AFTER
00:23:58.00\00:24:02.30
STRANGE FLESH," - YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY MEAN BY STRANGE FLESH?
00:24:02.34\00:24:06.81
NOT EVEN NATURAL SEX - "ARE SET
FORTH AS AN EXAMPLE, SUFFERING
00:24:06.84\00:24:11.95
THE VENGEANCE OF - NOTICE THIS -
"SUFFERING" - THEY'RE AN EXAMPLE
00:24:11.98\00:24:14.95
OF "SUFFERING THE
VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE."
00:24:14.98\00:24:18.82
SODOM AND GOMORRAH WERE
BURNED UP WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:24:18.85\00:24:20.86
WHY DOES GOD
CALL IT ETERNAL FIRE?
00:24:20.89\00:24:22.82
BECAUSE WHAT THAT FIRE DID
TO THOSE CITIES WAS ETERNAL.
00:24:22.86\00:24:25.19
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT.
THEY ARE STILL RUINS TODAY.
00:24:25.23\00:24:30.17
ARE THEY STILL BURNING? NO.
00:24:30.20\00:24:33.00
AND AGAIN, 2 PETER, 2:6, "AND
TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND
00:24:33.03\00:24:36.27
GOMORRAH INTO ASHES, CONDEMNED
THEM TO DESTRUCTION, MAKING THEM
00:24:36.30\00:24:41.71
AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO
AFTERWARD WOULD LIVE UNGODLY;"
00:24:41.74\00:24:44.35
WHAT WAS THE EXAMPLE?
THEY WERE TURNED INTO ASHES.
00:24:44.38\00:24:46.95
THEY WERE BURNT
WITH ETERNAL FIRE.
00:24:46.98\00:24:48.45
THEY ARE NOT
STILL BURNING TODAY.
00:24:48.48\00:24:50.02
WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE WICKED.
00:24:50.05\00:24:51.89
GOD SAID, 'I'VE
GIVEN YOU EXHIBIT A'.
00:24:51.92\00:24:54.19
LET'S GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE GOOD NEWS
00:24:54.22\00:24:56.86
IS THAT WE'VE
LEARNED ABOUT HELL.
00:24:56.89\00:24:59.06
FIRST OF ALL, NO ONE IS
BURNING IN HELL RIGHT NOW.
00:24:59.09\00:25:02.60
CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'?
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO
00:25:02.63\00:25:05.67
HAVE BEEN
TORMENTED BY THAT IDEA.
00:25:05.70\00:25:07.84
SECONDLY, NO ONE IS
GOING TO BURN IN HELL FOREVER.
00:25:07.87\00:25:12.27
THERE IS A LAKE OF FIRE.
FOR MY BAPTIST FRIENDS THAT MAY
00:25:12.31\00:25:14.58
BE WATCHING AND YOU THINK, 'YOU
FOLKS DON'T BELIEVE IN FIRE.
00:25:14.61\00:25:17.05
DON'T BELIEVE IN HELLFIRE.'
MY HELLFIRE IS HOTTER THAN YOUR
00:25:17.08\00:25:21.35
HELLFIRE BECAUSE MY HELLFIRE
BURNS THEM UP AND YOUR HELLFIRE
00:25:21.38\00:25:24.39
JUST ROASTS THEM FOREVER, RIGHT?
AND SO, YES, WE BELIEVE IN
00:25:24.42\00:25:28.76
HELLFIRE BUT IT
DOESN'T BURN FOREVER.
00:25:28.79\00:25:31.39
WE'VE SEEN THAT FROM THE BIBLE.
HELLFIRE WILL PUT SINNERS OUT OF
00:25:31.43\00:25:36.03
THEIR MISERY. YOU
EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
00:25:36.06\00:25:38.67
SINNERS ARE NOT HAPPY - LIKE AN
ANIMAL SUFFERING SOME INCURABLE
00:25:38.70\00:25:42.57
DISEASE - GOD IS GOING TO
PUT SINNERS OUT OF THEIR MISERY.
00:25:42.60\00:25:46.78
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS ACTUALLY
AN ACT OF LOVE AND MERCY.
00:25:46.81\00:25:49.71
EVEN IN THE WAY HE
DEALS WITH THE LOST.
00:25:49.74\00:25:52.75
HELLFIRE WILL
PURIFY THE UNIVERSE.
00:25:52.78\00:25:54.75
THERE'S NO MORE
GOING TO BE SIN OR SINNERS.
00:25:54.78\00:25:56.35
ALL THINGS ARE
PERFECT AND PURE AGAIN.
00:25:56.38\00:25:59.12
AND YOU DON'T NEED TO GO
THERE. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
00:25:59.15\00:26:04.96
YES, MOST OF THE WORLD'S GOING
TO MAKE THE WRONG DECISION BUT
00:26:04.99\00:26:07.23
THERE'S NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO BE
LOST BECAUSE THE SUFFERING THAT
00:26:07.23\00:26:10.70
JESUS TOOK UPON
HIMSELF WAS YOUR SUFFERING.
00:26:10.73\00:26:15.00
BUT YOU MUST EMBRACE THAT.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU MUST ACCEPT
00:26:15.04\00:26:19.11
THAT HE'S TAKEN YOUR PAYMENT.
00:26:19.14\00:26:25.81
>>WHEN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT
HELL, THEY GENERALLY PICTURE AN
00:26:25.85\00:26:29.18
ABYSMAL CAVERN DEEP IN THE
EARTH WHERE SINNERS ARE BEING
00:26:29.22\00:26:32.02
TORMENTED IN MOLTEN FIRE
AND BRIMSTONE THROUGH CEASELESS
00:26:32.05\00:26:35.42
AGES. AND THERE'S THE DEVIL WITH
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.36
HIS PITCHFORK TURNING THEM TO
MAKE SURE THEY ALL COOK EVENLY.
00:26:37.39\00:26:41.10
IS THIS WHAT THE BIBLE
REALLY TEACHES ABOUT HELL?
