ISAIAH 66:15-24 -  EVERYBODY WILL SEE HELL BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO

INTRODUCTION:

PEOPLE TODAY TRY TO IMPRESS OTHERS BY SAYING HOW LOVING AND OPEN MINDED THEY ARE.  YOU CAN COME TO OUR CHURCH,  YOU WON'T HEAR "HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE HERE".  JUST COME AS YOU ARE , NOBODY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU WON'T BE CALLED OUT, AND IF ANYTHING BOTHERS YOU JUST EASE OUT NOBODY WILL MIND.

ONE OF THE GREATEST TRAGEDIES TODAY IS THAT PEOPLE THINK EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HEAVEN.  THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, NOT EVERYBODY WILL SEE HEAVEN:  BUT EVERYBODY WILL SEE HELL.   IF YOU GO TO HELL YOU WILL NEVER SEE HEAVEN, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE STREETS OF GOLD, AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT PERFECT PEACE IS AND WHAT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE REALLY FEELS LIKE.   BUT IF YOU GO TO HEAVEN ACCORDING TO THESE SCRIPTURES EACH SABBATH DAY YOU WILL SEE HELL AND ALL OF THE  CARCASSES OF THOSE THAT TRANSGRESSED AND REJECTED CHRIST BEING TORMENTED IN THE TORMENTS AND FIRE OF HELL.

THE BIBLE USES FOUR WORDS TO DESCRIBE HELL AND THESE FOUR WORDS ARE USED TO TELL US ABOUT THE FOUR PARTS OR STATES OF HELL.  HADES, SHEOL, TARTAROS, GEHENNA.  WE WON'T SPEND MUCH TIME ON EACH PART BUT GIVE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION WHERE WE CAN UNDERSTAND A LITTLE OF WHAT THE PURPOSE IS FOR EACH PART OF HELL.

86-HADES - grave - state of departed souls - hell

THIS PART OF HELL SEEMS TO DEAL WITH THE GRAVE OR PLACE OR STATE OF ALL THOSE THAT DIE THE NATURAL DEATH BUT NOT CONDEMNED TO ETERNAL DEATH

Heb 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Acts 2:27  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts 2:31  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

7585 - SHEOL - hades or world of the dead, subterranean pit, hell, including accessories and inmates (this word used only in OT)  THIS PART OF HELL SEEMS TO BE THE PART OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVERS WERE HELD AWAITING THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.

Deu 32:21-22 - I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.    For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

Isa 28:16-18 -  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:  And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand.

Mat 27:50-53 -  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.   And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,   And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

5020 - TARTAROS - the deepest abyss of hades, incarcerated in eternal torment- cast down to hell

THIS PART OF HELL DEALS WITH THE PLACE FALLEN ANGELS ARE RESERVED UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.

2 Pet 2:4  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

1067 - GEENNA - valley of hinnom - place or state of everlasting punishment - hell

THIS PART OF HELL DEALS WITH THE SECOND DEATH OR PLACE OR STATE OF EVERLASTING FIRE AND PUNISHMENT.

Mark 9:43-44  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.  Mark 9:45-46  And if thy foot offend thee  -  Mark 9:47-48  And if thine eye offend thee

THESE SCRIPTURES ARE ACTUALLY WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS TO TELL HOW UNBEARABLE HELL REALLY WILL BE.  THIS IS ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT BRIMSTONE OR SULFUR WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST REACTIVE ELEMENTS IN THE UNIVERSE.  IT IS FOUND IN SOME 16 FORMS INCLUDING SULFURIC ACID(BATTERY ACID) AND HAS SEVERE REACTIONS TO WATER SUCH AS EXPLOSIONS. 

THE MOST PITIFUL PLACE YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF WOULD BE IN HELL. NO WAY OUT FOR ESCAPE, NO WAY IN FOR HELP.  NO SILENCE FROM THOSE PREACHING AND NO WORDS TO JUSTIFY WHY YOU ARE THERE.  NO ONE TO BLAME,  NO ONE TO COMFORT,  AND NO ONE TO CARE.  YOU CANT DIE BUT YOU ARE NOT ALIVE.  YOU CANT HIDE AND YOU WILL BE SEEN.  YOU WILL CRY EACH SABBATH DAY TO THE ON-LOOKERS FROM HEAVEN---PLEASE,  PLEASE---PLEASE DON'T COME TO THIS PLACE..............NEVER SIN,   NEVER SIN,  NEVER SIN,  NEVER SIN---------PLEASE DON'T COME TO THIS PLACE.

CAIN IS THERE BECAUSE HE WAS NOT HIS BROTHERS KEEPER AND KILLED HIM

ESAU IS THERE BECAUSE HE SOLD OUT HIS BIRTHRIGHT

LOTS WIFE IS THERE BECAUSE SHE JUST LOOKED BACK ONE MORE TIME

JEZEBEL IS THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS SOLD TO WICKEDNESS

KING AGRIPPA IS THERE BECAUSE HE WAS ALMOST PERSUADED

FELIX IS THERE BECAUSE THE CONVENIENT TIME NEVER CAME TO ACCEPT CHRIST

JUDAS IS THERE BECAUSE HE LED THE CROWD TO BETRAY THE CHRIST

ANNANIAS  AND SAPHARIA ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY LIED TO THE HOLY GHOST

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW TO SEND YOU TO HELL.

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO ROB GOD AND STEAL TITHE FROM HIS CHURCH

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE UNFAITHFUL AND MAKE EXCUSES WHY YOU CANT SERVE GOD LIKE OTHERS DO.

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO HIDE YOUR DRINK AND GET HIGH ON YOUR DRUGS.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW TO SEND YOU TO HELL.

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO BACK BITE AND SPREAD GOSSIP AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE UNFAITHFUL TO YOUR FAMILY

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO ABUSE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SMUT AND TALK THE TRASH

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW TO SEND YOU TO HELL.

CONCLUSION:

YOU SEE BROTHERS AND SISTERS GOD IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE IN HEAVEN WANTING TO STAY THERE.  BECAUSE EACH SABBATH DAY THEY WILL LOOK UPON THE CARCASSES OF THE JUDGED,  SEE THE FIRE THAT IS NEVER QUENCHED,  AND THANK GOD FOREVER THAT THEY ARE SAVED.
