Who is The Judge on Judgment Day?

In prior postings I have communicated how a life threatening illness sent me to the emergency room where the doctors did not expect me to live through the night. That night I left my body and entered the spiritual realm. I was taken to the Lake of Fire which is also called the second death. I was taken to Hell and felt the incredible hatred of Satan. Then I was taken the Judgment Seat of Christ and asked, “Why should you live?”

I believe that it is important to examine these events in the context of the Bible. By looking at these experiences from a biblical perspective we will learn that these events are a spiritual reality. They are not simply a bad dream as some may perceive them to be. As we proceed, I will reflect on my experience and validate and enhance it with scripture. In doing this I believe that the scriptures will bring to light fundamental messages that God has communicated to His people over the course of thousands of years.

In a previous postings (Judgment-Day, Reliving-my-sins-before-the-Judgment-Seat-of-Christ, and Gods-Question-on-Judgment-Day), I stood in a broad and peaceful place before the judge of the universe. However, I could not see anything because of the cloud like covering in this place.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

Since I was returned to the physical earth to continue my life, I was not judged and therefore did not suffer the second death. So the question becomes; to whom do I owe my salvation? Who sits on the throne of judgment?

And crying out with a loud voice, saying, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb! (Revelation 7:10).

I was not judged deserving of the second death despite the fact that my garments were soiled with the visible stains of my sins. So the question has to be; who has the power to forgive sin?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins; He said to the paralytic, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house (Mark 2:10 – 11).

Jesus heals the man at the pools.

I learned that there was only truth in the place where I was asked, “Why should you live?” But, who is it that judges the living and the dead?

I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom (2 Timothy 4:1).

The answer is that Jesus the Christ of Nazareth is our Lord and Savior. I had made poor choices in my life but Jesus covered me with His blood and kept me from the fate I deserved, the second death.

Jesus Sheds His Blood on the Cross

This story provides insight into the meaning of our lives because it accurately describes the consequences of poor choices. I had made the poor choice of disbelieving in the existence of the devil and God revealed the truth to me. The truth is that the devil, hell, the lake of fire and brimstone, the judgment by Christ and the second death are the consequences of our poor choices. God, Jesus, heaven and life everlasting are the consequences of our good choices.

My book, “Possess the Vision,” communicates my supernatural experiences and as a result, provides insight into the realm of the spiritual warfare that is raging for our souls and our purpose.

Who Has the Keys to Hell?

Who Has the Keys to Hell?

In prior postings I have communicated how a life threatening illness took me to the emergency room of a hospital where the doctors did not expect me to live through the night. At some point during that night I left my body behind and entered into the spiritual realm. In the spirit I was taken to the Lake of Fire which is the second death. From there I was taken to Hell, where I faced Satan and felt his incredible hatred of me. All of this culminated on the Judgment Seat of Christ where I was asked, “Why should you live?”

I believe that it is important to examine the events I have already reported to you in the context of the Bible. By looking at these experiences from a Biblical perspective we will find that what some may perceive as a very bad dream was in fact, a spiritual reality. I say this because it is substantiated in the Bible and proclaimed by God’s prophets. As we proceed, I will reflect on my experience and contrast it to scripture. In doing this I believe that the scriptures will bring to light fundamental messages that God has communicated to His people over the course of thousands of years.

 

OK, so lets move on to looking at my experience in the lake of fire and later in the halls of hell where I faced the beast (Entering-the-Spiritual-Realm-of-Death, A-Journey-to-Golgotha, Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death, Confronting-Satan-in-Hell). I knew that there was no way for me to escape these places on my own, so how did I get out? On the Judgment Seat I had faced the second death, but who has power over death; to let live or let die? The answer is Jesus! The following words from the book of Revelation are the words of the resurrected Jesus:

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of death (Revelation 1:18).

Jesus pulls Adam and Eve from Hell

Jesus pulls Adam and Eve from Hell

Jesus has the keys and can release whom ever He chooses from the lake of fire or from the bondage of Hell and the devil. This is because His victory on the cross defeated the devil and the power he had previously held over mankind.


In our next posting we will look to the bible to identify the judge who whom I pleaded for my life and avoided the second death.

Until then, may all of God’s blessings be upon you.

Confirming the Existence of the Lake of Fire

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

Confirming the Existence of the Lake of Fire

To this point I have communicated things to you that by worldly standards are quite unbelievable. However, if one looks to the scriptures they will find that a vast majority of them are confirmed there. So, if you are unfamiliar with my past postings, the following list of hyperlinks will lead you to the ones that I am addressing at this point:

The-Initial-Attack

The-Intensive-Care-Unit-and-the-Initial-Prognosis

Entering-the-Spiritual-Realm-of-Death

A-Journey-to-Golgotha

Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death

Confronting-Satan-in-Hell

Judgment-Day

Reliving-my-sins-before-the-Judgment-Seat-of-Christ

Gods-Question-on-Judgment-Day

Opening-the-Books-on-Judgment-Day

Repentance-Brings-Salvation-Even-on-Judgment-Day

For a long time these experiences terrified me and as a result, I refused to think about them and certainly did not tell anyone. I really did not understand my experience until after I was born again and studied the scriptures that I understood what God had done for me. I was through these events that started to understand that God had a different plan for my life. His way of continuing our relationship was to show me the truth about the purpose of this life, myself and where my life choices were taking me.

What is certain is that God loved me enough to give me a second chance to make the right decisions about my life. I did not deserve this opportunity but He gave it freely out of His love for me. I knew that if He did this much for me when I did not deserve it, He would continue to bless me from that point as well.

Everything changed when I finally accepted the truth that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. When I did God placed favor in my life, and He became more real than I could have ever anticipated.

The purpose of this and subsequent postings is to communicate the results of my bible study, which confirms my entire out of body experience. As a byproduct, it also confirms the spiritual reality of why we are here on this earth and the consequences of our choices and actions. My plan is to present one component per posting until I have completed them all. The first to be addressed is: THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE


THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

The Lake of Fire and Brimstone is the eternal destination for Satan, the beast, the false prophet, death, Hades and everyone whose name is not written in the book of Life:

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Revelation 20:10).

In my out of body experience, the orange plasma that I swam in is a direct correlation to words of the prophet John, who wrote the book of Revelation.

The Lake of Fire is also filled with all of the soles who made poor life choices.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

This matches my experience of swimming in the lake of fire where I experienced the pain that of that all the soles there had inflicted on others (Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death). All were in agony for the evil that they had done.

In fact, the bible confirms that it is the final repository for all evil. It is the second death, which is a spiritual death, a permanent separation from God.

Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14-15)

This confirms my concern about the second death I experienced while others were searching for good works as I stood before the Judgment seat.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

The bottom line here is that if you don’t believe in Hell, the Judgment to come, or the devil, then think again. In fact there is something out there worse than Hell. It is a world on pain and suffering that is the continual reliving the pain that they caused others and It goes on forever.

POINTS FOR REFLECTION

POINTS FOR REFLECTION

This hospital episode was the catalyst that changed my life remarkably as I eventually surrender my life to Jesus Christ. At this point in my story the battle had only just begun however. It took a great deal more pain and suffering before I sought the protection that only God can provide. As you will find out, the path that God has led me down is quite remarkable and you will hear the rest of this story in time as I deliver my future postings.

Because I am a Christian, I believe that it is important to examine the events I have already reported to you in the context of the Bible. If you would like to go back and review these postings you will find hyperlinks to them here:

The-Intensive-Care-Unit-and-the-Initial-Prognosis

Gods-Question-on-Judgment-Day

Repentance-Brings-Salvation-Even-on-Judgment-Day

By looking at these experiences from a Biblical perspective we will find that what was perceived as just a very bad dream was not a dream at all because it is substantiated in the Bible, as proclaimed by God’s prophets. As we proceed, I will reflect on my experience and contrast it to scripture. In doing this I believe that the scriptures will bring to light fundamental messages that God has communicated to His people over the course of thousands of years.

CORRELATION WITH PSALM 30

As you know, on November 7, 1986 I entered the emergency room of a major hospital thinking that all would be well soon, unaware that death was knocking on my door. A similar correlation is found in Psalm 30 which is one of the Psalms of David. This Psalm gives thanks to God for delivering David from his foe, for healing him, delivering him from the grave, and saving him from being cast into the pit.

David and Goliath

I believe that God did all of these things for me as well. Therein lays the correlation. Let’s start by reading a portion of Psalm 30:

I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried out to You, and you healed me. O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Let us praise God for His great mercy and love! Obviously, I totally relate to the message of this Psalm of David. In fact, I modified it to become my personal prayer of thanksgiving to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I present it here, so please read along with me in prayer and praise:

I will extol You, Oh Lord, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my enemy the devil, rejoice in victory over me. Oh Lord my God, I have cried out to You, and You have healed me from a great affliction of which there was seemingly no hope. Oh Lord, You have lifted my soul up from the grave of death and saved me from an eternal damnation I deserved. You have kept me alive, so that I would not be cast down into the lake of fire and brimstone, left to suffer the everlasting torture and agony of the second death. Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks to the remembrance of His holy Name; His name is JESUS, THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH.For His anger is but for a moment. But His favor is for life forevermore; oh, weeping and sorrow may endure for a night, but joy everlasting comes in the morning and a new life begins. Amen.

Please know that this is the exact salvation that Jesus has won for those who believe in Him. Seek Him and you will find salvation in Him. Steadfastly seek Him knowing that those who continue to knock will have His door opened to them. This life is a battle ground that test your conviction in the Lord Jesus. Those who fight to the death will live again with Him in His glory forever. Seek Him with all of you heart, with all of your strength, with your whole mind and with all that you are and He will find you and be the rock of your salvation.

In our next posting we will look at how the Book of Revelation correlates to my spiritual and physical experiences previously posted.

SIGNIFICANCE TO THE VISION

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

Read my story by ordering my book, “Possess the Vision”

SIGNIFICANCE TO THE VISION

In my previous series of postings I presented a number of my spiritual experiences that revealed the nature of this world and the spiritual realm that is foreign to so many. The following hyperlinks will guide you to these prior postings:

The-Initial-Attack

The-Intensive-Care-Unit-and-the-Initial-Prognosis

Entering-the-Spiritual-Realm-of-Death

A-Journey-to-Golgotha

Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death

Confronting-Satan-in-Hell

Judgment-Day

Reliving-my-sins-before-the-Judgment-Seat-of-Christ

Gods-Question-on-Judgment-Day

Opening-the-Books-on-Judgment-Day

Repentance-Brings-Salvation-Even-on-Judgment-Day

These experiences represent the big picture reality for everyone on the planet. They present the reward that awaits the wicked. They communicate the reality of the devil, hell and the pit of fire which is the second death. They also speak about the devil’s evil desire for everyone in the world, a desire for our failure, bondage, torture and pain forever. Unfortunately, many in the world do not know this truth and many, who have had insight into these realities, simply do not believe them. Unfortunately for them, the devil continues to wage his spiritual warfare against all true followers of Jesus, weather they know the truth or not.

The ministry of Jesus Christ is a ministry of spiritual warfare. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to save everyone from the terrible consequences described in these prior postings. Jesus came so that all who believe in Him would have eternal life in heaven with Him.

He accomplished this by teaching us to love one another as He loved us, and then He demonstrated that love when He healed the sick, cast out demons, fed the hungry, told us about the Father, died on the cross for our sins,

Disciples Carry Jesus Down From The Cross

rose from the dead, defeated all evil, and ascended into heaven where He is our advocate with the Father. This is the heart of the vision—that we become like Jesus and do the things that He did. We are to be imitators of Him and therefore, we are to enter a life of spiritual warfare and victory over evil.

I certainly did not understand these things at the time that I had these experiences. I know them to be true now because I became a student of the Bible and found that its passages validated the spiritual realities of my experiences. Our postings from this point forward will review these spiritual experiences in the light of the scriptures, so that you may also come to the understanding that the bible confirms these experiences and realities to be true.

So, until next time, may all of God’s blessings be upon you and your family.

Papa Joe Gordon.

Repentance Brings Salvation – Even on Judgment Day

Filed under: judgment day, Possess the Vision, Spirituality, spirtual warfare, the judgment — 12 Comments

Repentance Brings Salvation – Even on Judgment Day

In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. I told you about leaving my body and traveling in spirit, through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I told you how I swam in all of the horror there along with all the other lost soles. I communicated how I was transported to Hell and placed before Satin so that I could experience his extreme hatred of me. I conveyed how I was placed before the Judgment seat of Christ, where I relived my sins. In the past two postings I tell of God’s question for me on the Judgment Seat; “Why should you live?” In this posting I will tell you of my repentance and my bargaining with God on the Judgment Seat. So, with that said, we pick up where we left off.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

I was really desperate now as I knew the focus was back on me. I had to come up with something that would answer God’s question. At first, I blamed my problems on others and waited for a response. Silence was my answer.

Then, I realized that I could not blame others for my poor choices. So I told God that I would change. I pleaded with God, I made a case that if God would provide some things that were missing in my life, that it would make a difference. That was the last thing I remember about being in the gray place.

I awoke the next morning in the intensive care unit where I had been the night before.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. (Psalm 33:18 – 19)

I had lived through the night by the mercy of God.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13)

Yes, someone had been watching out for me again. Someone had saved me from the greatest tragedy of all. You would think that this time there would be no mistaking that it was God, but at the time I was still blind. I saw all of this as a terrifying dream, one that I did not care to dwell upon, and simply moved on.

But as you will fine in our future postings the devil was not done yet. He had not given up on defeating me and ending my purpose forever. He would attack me over and over again with physical problem and he would make my life miserable until I wised up and turned my life back over to God.

If you are interested in hearing the rest of the story simply click on the RSS feed button on the upper right had corner of this posting. Doing so will provide you with a notification that additional postings are available to you.

In our next posting we will communicate why this experience is so important. Until next time, may God’s blessings be upon all of you.

Opening the Books on Judgment Day

Opening the Books on Judgment Day

In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe trauma that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I swam there in all of the horror there. Then I was transported to Hell where I was place before Satin and experienced his extreme hatred of me. Then I was taken to the Judgment seat of God and relived all of my sins in an instant in time. It is hear that God asks me: “Why should you live?”

This posting will communicate what happened as the books of Life are opened:

The Judgment Seat of Christ

Then another certainty dawned on me. Somehow, I realized that the question had to do with more than just mortal life and death on earth as I knew it. It was a question relating to a life lived forever with God or the second death as I experienced it in Golgotha (A-Journey-to-Golgotha and Inside-the-Lake-of-Fire-the-Second-death).

Now, even more than ever, I began to truly understand the significance and gravity of the question and the consequences of my answer. Death forever!

Agony, torture, and suffering for eternity in the lake of fire accompanied with unending torment at the hands of Satan. Then that “oh, no” feeling came over me in a wave. It is the feeling you get when your stupid mistake hurts someone real bad.

Just then the silence was broken. I could hear a commotion coming from somewhere behind the voice.

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. (Revelation 20:4)

I heard another voice say, “What about good works?” This was followed by more rustling and commotion. It sounded like a number of people were searching for the good works in my life.

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:12 – 14)

The Book of Life

The commotion soon stopped and I heard another voice reply, “There are none.” I stood there stunned and thought how can this be? Surely I have done some good works. This was followed by another shattering realization of the truth. The sad report was true as it seems that even the good things I had done in my life were for the wrong reasons.

In our next posting we will tell you what happened next.

May all of God’s blessings be yours!

Reliving My Sins Before the Judgment Seat of Christ

But then things changed. Standing there I began to experience certain portions of my life over again. It was as if I was actually living them over again. One after another they continued. It was as if I had been receiving electronic signals that enabled me to fully experience these seemingly random snippets of my life. I was reliving them with all of my emotions and senses fully activated; but then I realized that it was even more than that! I was also experiencing the thoughts, perceptions and emotions of the other people in these experiences as well. More specifically, I experienced how others were affected by my actions and choices. One by one, I was gaining insight into how my actions harmed others. I gained an intimate perspective of the people involved and how they felt about me.

The Last Judgment by Rogier Van Der Weyden

The Last Judgment by Rogier Van Der Weyden

Reliving these experiences was far superior to having lived them the first time because everything was so clear. All of this occurred without a sense of time as well. Instead of taking hours, days, months, or years to transpire, my life episodes were relived in an instant.

Then suddenly, all of this stopped just as quickly as it had started. The peace and quiet returned. I stood there thinking about what had just happened when the silence was interrupted by a voice that came through the fog. It was the voice of God.

He had a critical question for me. Find out what it was in my next posting on my Judgment Day experiences.

Until then, may all of God’s blessings be upon you and you family.

JUDGMENT DAY

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

JUDGMENT DAY

In my previous postings I have communicated to you about my severe medical condition that landed me in the intensive care unit, dying. There, I left my body and traveled through space and time and entered into the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. I communicated how I swam in the Lake and of all the horror there. From there I traveled to Hell Itself where I am brought before Satin and experience his extreme hatred of me. Now I travel to the Judgment seat of God. Here is my account of what happened there:

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)

The Last Judgment by Rogier Van Der Weyden

In the same way that I had been mysteriously taken from the Lake of Fire, I simply vanished from before the beast. I had been removed from the halls of hell.

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. (Revelation 1:18)

Mysteriously, I was transported to a broad place, a place of peace.

He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. (Psalm 18:19)

It was as if I was on the inside a cloud but without the misty dampness. Everything around me was gray. My visibility was severely limited like it would be if I were in a thick fog. I looked around and saw nothing except the wall of grayness that engulfed me. I wondered about all these experiences. I felt fortunate to be in a place as peaceful and calming as this.

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44:22)

But everything was about to change. I was going to relive all of my sins in excruciating detail. The Judgment is about to begin. I will tell you all about it in my next posting.

The Last Judgment by Michelangelo

Until then, may God’s blessings be upon you.

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

To the one who has long waited for the promise of God

and waits day after day, year after year.

Are you concerned or growing doubtfull

That His promise may not come?

Have your prayers fallen on deaf ears

and does heaven seem so far away?

Is your hope fading? Then I say believe – believe beyond what you see.

The promise will surely come, sometime, someway, somewhere.
