1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Does Pride Prevent You From Admitting You Are Wrong?

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all ...

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17)

The believer who is concerned about lost souls has heard many excuses as to why someone won’t get saved. One of the excuses I’ve heard is that there is no God and that when one dies, that’s the end. 

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 14:1)

Seems to me, I would rather take precautions while I had still had the chance than to find out when it’s too late to make any changes. I am reminded of Jesus’ account of the rich man and Lazarus. In all of Jesus’ parables, this account was the only one that He gave the name of an individual. This was a true story and Luke, the physician, goes into great detail when he records Jesus’ account in Luke 16:20-31. Please take The rich man no longer had an opportunity to be saved, he no longer had an opportunity to warn his family – that was it! He was stuck in hell, burning, thirsting and hurting for all eternity!!

I once heard one of our dear senior saints say, “Eternity is too long and hell fire too hot for me to take the chance of hell not being true!” Oh so very true! These are not the words of a fool, that’s for sure. The word “hell” is found in 54 verses in the Word. God wants us to know all about this place where the unrepentant sinner will go. This place called hell will be a horrifying place where the pain is so great that there will be gnashing of teeth. Noah Webster defines it as:

A grinding or striking of the teeth in rage or anguish.

I found it interesting that there are seven verses which use this phrase “gnashing of teeth.” God’s perfect number is the number seven which means “completion”! Man’s rejection of Him will be complete when he is cast down into hell’s fires. There won’t be any more chances to accept Jesus Christ as the only way to Heaven. 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Allah won’t be able to help you. Buddha won’t be able to help you. Mary won’t be able to help you. Only Jesus can help you – and only while you are yet living, my friend.

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 8:12)

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 13:42)

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 13:50)

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 22:13)

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 24:51)

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat 25:30)

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. (Luke 13:28 )

If you are reading this today and you are not 100% convinced that you are going to Heaven when you die, then I hope that you will let these verses speak to your heart and not be the fool as the rich man was. Denying there is a God does not remove the fact that He does exist. God is the beginning and the end. All things started with Him and all things will end with Him. He is not mocked and He does hold judgment for those who reject Him. He also holds reward of salvation for those who accept Him.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Rev 21:6)

Any Day Now – Day 64

Does the news frighten you, Reader? I think I can confidently say that anyone with half a functioning brain cell can see that things happening today are very different from yesteryear. There is an evil in the air and people are wondering what on earth is going on! The Christian can see with his spiritual eyes exactly what is going on.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The devils have emerged and are openly celebrated. We see in video clips of musicians openly performing satanic rituals and dressed in demonic garb. We see the spirit of antichrist rising and coming like a crescendo in a symphony. That spirit is no longer slowly coming into view but is coming with a blast! We are bombarded with ungodly rhetoric and it is being shoved down the world’s throat! The ungodly are no longer hiding their agenda but have put it out there for all to see. However, the church is asleep and timid. There are a few preachers out there who are speaking against the goals of the powers that be. However, this should be preached from every pulpit. Preachers today are more interested in their numbers and bank account than they are for people’s souls. Shame on them. The judgment of a holy God is coming upon them. I would not want to be in their shoes.

God has a plan, and it is outlined in the Bible. He did not leave us ignorant. All the prophecies to date that have been spoken by prophets, as well as Jesus Christ, have been fulfilled. Every … one … of … them! The ones left to come will happen!

The powers of the air, satanic influences, are grasping people’s minds and deceiving them. Satan is the father of lies and the world is enamored with him. He influences weak minds to murder on his behalf. He influences the world to follow after him so they can succeed.

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

If you are reading this and you are not born again, you are serving your father the devil. Jesus Christ said so and He is God. He knows what He’s talking about. Reading the verse above explains to you exactly how you are being deceived. But to the born-again Christian, we clearly see what Satan’s goals are and that is to destroy man. Satan does not love you. He hates you and wants you to suffer in the Lake of Fire. There is no party there, nor will you be partying with your friends once you get there. Jesus said that the pain will be excruciating, like nothing ever experienced on earth:

(Mat 8:12)  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Mat 13:42)  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

(Mat 13:50)  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

(Mat 22:13)  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Mat 24:51)  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Mat 25:30)  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Luk 13:28)  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

2Th 1:8-9  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:  (9)  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Rev 21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone [brimstone is sulphur]: which is the second death.

Does this sound like a party to you? What exactly is “gnashing of teeth”? I dare say no!

STRONGS NT 1030: βρυγμός

βρυγμός, βρυγμου, ὁ (βρύχω, which see), a gnashing of teeth: with τῶν ὀδόντων added, a phrase denoting the extreme anguish and utter despair of men consigned to eternal condemnationMatthew 8:12Matthew 13:42, 50Matthew 22:13Matthew 24:51Matthew 25:30Luke 13:28; in Proverbs 19:12  snarling, growling; in the sense of biting

Look at the verses above and see what Jesus says it will be like in Hell. Do the highlighted words sound like a party? Not at all. These verses all deal with man’s senses. If you are not born again before you die, you will go to a place that affects your sight, your hearing, your taste, and your sense of touch. You will desire a drop of water and will get none, just like Jesus’ account of the rich man and Lazarus. (Read Luke 16:19-31) There’s no party in Hell. None at all.

But to the born-again believer, the news today does not cause us to tremble, but to look up and rejoice that we shall be spared the horrors of the seven-year Tribulation period!

Oh friend, you must be born again if you do not want to go to Hell. You must be born again if you want to take part in the Rapture of the Church. Friend, if you are not born again, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already. Don’t you want to be a part of the Church when she is raptured into the clouds to meet Jesus?
