Hell Is Appalling


Hell is appalling.  My husband angrily said so, and I agree.  I hate the reality of hell, and eternal damnation.  For some time I found a way to disbelieve the truth of hell, it is so disturbing to me.  Always has been - and rightly so. I was angry with YHWH, and accused Him, because my true “father” was the devil - and he is a LIAR.  Until I - by the grace, goodness, and love, of YHWH - was brought to the truth, which brought me to repentance of my grave sins, and a broken heart.  Praise YHWH, I was born again in Jesus Christ, by the gift of His sacrifice of love. I choose to be so every morning, as my Heavenly Father's mercies are new every morning.  Praise Him, for I have been adopted into His Family and Kingdom. And, you can be, too. A broken and a contrite (repentant) heart YHWH will not despise.

The truth of eternity in hell should be so disturbing as to wake us up from our spiritual slumber.  Jesus said He came to save us, not condemn us. Yet, in rejection of His gift we condemn ourselves - then, most often, blame God for the awful and destructive things the human has done at the whim of their own desire and self will.  Or, we stand proudly on our own merit, and our (self) righteousness - which, to a Holy God, is as filthy rags. We choose philosophies that suit us, over the truth. YHWH turns us over to our delusions. We accuse God, even as He steadfastly continues to allow the sun and the rain to fall, equally, upon is all.  Why doesn't He stop the abuser, the child molester, the hypocrite…? Because the consciousness of humankind has made a collective choice to engage in “the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”. YHWH does not interfere with our will. We make our choices, and often choose delusion over uncomfortable truths. Yet, we can be reborn into the Tree of Life - the Lord Jesus Christ (Savior), is the (only) Way.  The path to Heaven is narrow. The road to Destruction is a broad highway.

In the final analysis- on the terrible day of judgement we will all be left WITHOUT EXCUSE.  It is right to fear the Lord YHWH. Yes, God is Love, as demonstrated in the gift of His Holy Son, Jesus Christ, and the salvation from sin Christ brought to the whole of mankind.  God is also Holy. He calls us to be Holy, and has provided the Way in Jesus Christ. YHWH is Jealous for our love and fellowship with Him. Where do we think jealousy comes from, anyway?  He created within us a desire which can only be filled in fellowship with Him, for He desires fellowship with us.

Resentments born of delusion and pride interfere in this potential relationship.  Many have loved a lie over the truth, and God turns us over to our delusions because it is what we want.  It is not what He wants for us. The Father's love for us is demonstrated, and fulfilled, in the gift of His Holy Son, Jesus Christ.  He has made the Way for relationship to our Heavenly Father, and to our Brother and Sister. We are left with His many gifts and provisions, and our choices.

Hell is repugnant to the Holy One, too.  It was not made for us. Yet, it is the place where death and evil reside.  Hell is the place set aside for Lucifer, and his demons. Those whose father is the devil will find eternity in hell, where there will be no rest from the torment.  Instead, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth - despair beyond our ability to comprehend. Hell is the place where YHWH's presence does not dwell. It is the place we are cut off from all hope and the Holy Father.  Hell is a place of powerlessness, hopelessness, torment, and despair, only. There will be no joy or hope there - nor ability to escape and find reprieve from the torment. Hell is real - and I hate that truth. So, I pray relentlessly for the salvation of the world.  I pray for you. I pray for my loved ones. I pray, and pray, and pray. What is impossible with man is possible with God.

May the truth become apparent to the reader, and may you find salvation in Jesus Christ, and the truths He has taught us.  The Creator YHWH's Word will not return void. Amen.

The Church, Apostate


"He (Jesus Christ) found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables. To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!""
John:2:14-16

Money Changers (Commerce) in the church is what really angered Jesus.  This is the only incident, in the Bible, of such an aggressive confrontation by Jesus Christ.  Even as He accused the religious leaders of their hypocrisy, calling them at one time "dead man's bones", angering them to the point of the Cross, he did not lift a finger in physical defense of himself, or his life.  It is by His Word, and His influence, that He was crucified.  Not for any other offense.

Yet, here we are, choosing our favorite sins that God is angry with us over.  Using these to hammer, whip, and drive out people we would entertain a grudge and judgement against.  Using these, even, to color our political affiliations and justifications.  Abortion is murder.  Sexual perversions an abomination.  Witchcraft is an abomination.  Yet, what about lying, gossip (untrue and malicious stories), selfishness, greed, adultry, covetousness/materialism, distortion, vanity, cursing, idolatry... What we measure from the external, YHWH (Yahweh) measures from the heart.

If one is truly FOLLOWING Jesus Christ - His life, and example - why, then, are we aggressively fighting against 'the sinner' in the manner that Jesus did not?  Our battle is with PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS.  Our battle is of a spiritual nature.  How are we condemning a homosexual, a woman having an abortion, or a Witch, while defending an adulterous, unrepentant, covetous, and lying President?  How do we defend the rejection of the refugee and immigrant fleeing for their life from oppression?  Are we not to care for these?  Do not say it drains our resources.  That is a lie from hell.  We are to receive our instruction from YHWH, and Jesus Christ, the Son, and act upon this.  How do we not invite curses upon us for these unrepentant and callous behaviors?  Do Christians believe that by their name/title they will enter the Kingdom of Heaven?  Jesus said He did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill the law.  He instructed us to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect.  He calls us to be made perfect in love.  We are called to obedience.  We are not free, now, to sin upon acceptance of Christ as Savior.  Rather, Jesus has called us to a Holy life, as the Father is Holy.  Salvation is not an excuse, or a free for all, for a 'sinner' to have their intentional sins looked over and excused.  No one will enter Heaven who is raising hell.  We must be BORN AGAIN - made a new man in Christ.  The old must be put to death, and buried.  Of course the old man will struggle against dying.  Yet, if we hope to live, we must die to self and be reborn in Christ Jesus.

The Whore of Babylon walks AS A FRIEND in and among the churches today, and among their people.  The Black Horse and Rider is upon us.  There is a great deception, prophecied about in the Bible, that has taken ahold of many of the people of the churches - because it is what they want to believe!  They have loved a lie over the truth.  So, they are given over to their desires.  This is a rebellion against the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.  In these churches they even practice Witchcraft, not recognizing it as such.  They listen to lying 'Prophets'.  Their hearts have become far from the Father, yet he will give them over to delusions, and Satan, in the hopes they will finally turn, and be saved.

The way to Heaven is narrow.  It is only found in Yeshua, the Christ.  He is coming for a Bride that is prepared (obedient), awake, and waiting for Him.

I had a dream years ago.  In this dream I was in the church of my childhood, sitting beside my best childhood friend - my Cousin, Peggy.  The church was jam packed full of people in the pews.  I left the auditorium, and went to the bathroom.  When I returned to the service, back from the bathroom, EVERYONE IN THE PEWS HAD FALLEN ASLEEP.  It was very disturbing.  I woke up.

I was in the church for years, yet never fully sold out to YHWH, and His Holy Son.  I thought I was, however, more than once - yet, I have always straddled the fence, with one foot in the world.  I have come to understand that I have caused much harm, in this, to those I love.  I have had a conversion experience, lately, which led me to the truth of myself, and the condition of those who call themselves 'the Church'.  This conversion experience led me to repentance, with the understanding that I was in danger of hell's fire.  I was in church (as in the dream), went to the bathroom for a while (the shit of the world), and now have returned.  The Church is asleep, disturbingly.  Many are caught up in delusion.  I understand, now, that I follow Jesus Christ by obedience, because of His grace.  Trust and Obey, for there's no other way...  I will not be popular, and can hope to embrace the Cross.  I will rejoice when I am 'persecuted' for His sake.  If I am popular with the world, then I should be concerned.  I am in the world, not of the world.  I am bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth, for the Kingdom resides within me.  I am salt in the world.  I am in the Lord's Army, and am called to love, and obedience.  YHWH's Word will not return to Him void.  I seek His Mind, His Heart, and His Word.  It is the Creative Word.  And by His Word He will also destroy.  I seek to be in accord with these.  Accord with Jesus Christ is enmity with the world.  Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.  Amen.
