EXTREME WARNINGS
“Every matter must be established
by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
(Deuteronomy 17:6 & 2 Corinthians 13:1)
The “Alternative” to Heaven
We’ve spent a lot of time sharing the “Very Good News” (Gospel in Greek) concerning being saved into Heaven through a sincere love and faith in Jesus Christ.
However, much has been written about the dangers of the ‘Alternative’ to Heaven, yet, most people don’t seem to take it too seriously.
The Bible tells us this life on Earth is simply a short “Test!”
God’s Word also teaches there is a Day coming when all Mankind will be divided and then separated into two different groups. We are told each group has its own Eternal Destiny prepared and waiting for it. The most common names associated with these two Eternal Destinies are “Heaven” and “Hell.”
The Bible tells us that Heaven represents eternal “Life” and Hell represents eternal “Death.”
God also explains there are TWO “deaths”…
#1. Our Bodily death which is “appointed” for all Mankind to experience (unless “Raptured”)
“And as it is appointed
for men to die once, (Men = Mankind … Men and Women)
But after this the Judgment”
(Hebrews 9:27) (ALL of our earthly bodies will one day die)
#2. A Spiritual death (Hell) called the “Second” death (which is the one we are to fear) …
“And the sea gave up the dead who were in it,
Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them,
and they were judged, each one of them,
according to what they had done.
Then Death and Hades were
thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the SECOND DEATH,
The lake of fire. (Being cast into Hell)
And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the Book of Life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire.”
(The second death … Hell)
(Revelation 20:13-15)
We are warned whichever Destiny we are assigned to after our earthly bodies die will be both eternal and irreversible.
In today’s world, many (or most) are being convinced not to take God’s Word concerning Heaven or Hell (or the Bible in general) too seriously.
We are commanded by God never to “judge” any others, but, we are commanded to “warn” others.
“If I (God) say to the wicked,
O wicked one,
you shall surely die, (the second death)
and you do not speak to warn the wicked
to turn from his way,
that wicked person shall die in his iniquity,
but his blood I will require at your hand.
But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way,
and he does not turn from his way,
that person shall die in his iniquity,
but you will have delivered your soul.”
(Ezekiel 33:7-9)
It is not my job to tell anybody what to believe
My job is to simply tell others what the Bible says (and warns) in order to help people make their own decisions.
For God has given all Mankind a free will to accept, reject, or ignore His words of truth and warning.
Our Eternal Destiny will be based on our decision …
By Two or Three Witnesses
“Every matter must be established
by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
(Deuteronomy 17:6 & 2 Corinthians 13:1)
The Bible tells us a matter is established when two or three witnesses agree.
Here, we will hear the testimony of THREE witnesses (including two witnesses whose writings are not found in today’s Bible) concerning the coming separation and eternal division of all Mankind (Heaven or Hell).
1st Witness: Earliest Writings – From the book “1 Enoch”
2nd Witness: Old Testament Era – From the ancient book “The Apocalypse of Ezra” (also called “2 Esdras”)
3rd Witness: New Testament Era – From “The Bible”
Now, let’s try to set aside any preconceived opinions or prejudices as we prepare to hear each witness speak on this most critical and life-changing matter (and trust me, they don’t hold anything back, because like Peter tells us in 2 Peter, God “doesn’t want any to perish!”)
Also, please remember as you read these warnings, the Bible clearly says (in several places) that no one is “righteous”…
“NONE are Righteous, no, not ONE!” (Romans 3:10)
We are told we are “made” righteous through our faith …
“For He made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin, to be sin for us,
that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in Him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:21) (We are ‘clothed’ in His righteousness)
