A VISION OF A JESUS-FILLED WORLD COMING TO PASS

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

In my earlier posting (MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA,) I disclosed how I journeyed through space and time and arrived at spiritual Golgotha, the place of the Skull. In prior postings, I conveyed that I had been struck by a life-threatening spiritual attack that exploded my pancreas and sent me to an intensive care unit (ICU.) After the doctors did all they could that first night, they left, believing that I was unlikely to make it to morning. As I slowly drifted toward unconsciousness, I left my body behind and entered the spiritual realm. There, I traveled through space and time toward an enormous human skull (Spiritual Golgotha) suspended in space. You can find the details in this posting: MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA

SWIMMING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

Once inside the Skull, I soon found myself swimming with countless other lost souls in a phosphorescent yellow-orange plasma that delivered a scorching heat and pressure that must exist from the massive gravitational forces of the sun. The heat seared me, and the pressure painfully squeezed me into a rage.    

The souls swimming with me resembled white tadpoles. Together, we darted to and fro, attempting to escape the stinging heat and the crushing weight of the plasma. 

Each soul also relived the horror, sorrow, pain, and misery of the people they harmed. Over and over again, everyone there experienced the feelings their victims experienced as a result of their actions. 

The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. (Psalm 18:5)

Even worse, the feelings of every victim are transmitted into the plasma and received by every soul swimming there. Accordingly, every soul relived the cumulative sorrow of every other soul’s victims. 

Thus, there is a three-fold effect on the plasma. There is the heat, the pressure, and thirdly, the continual reliving of the horrors they all inflicted upon the world. All this dreadfulness drove us into a frenzy, and we frantically darted back and forth, desperately searching for a way out. Like pollywogs heated in a chemistry beaker, dashing back and forth, seeking escape without hope or rest, probing continually for relief without end, howling in despair. 

Psalm 18:4-5 – New King James Version

The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

Despite believing there was no escape from the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, I was instantly removed and relocated to a large, searing-hot cave. 

You can find out what transpired there in Hell as I come face to face with Satan in my next posting: IN HELL – CONFRONTED BY THE DEVIL. I have added some reference material below to help you understand my experience better.

What is Spiritual Golgotha?

Golgotha, which translates as the place of the Skull, has been used to identify the place where Jesus Christ was crucified. Here is a scripture that supports this notion.

The Crucifixion of Jesus

Matthew 27:33-35 – New King James Version

33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink. 35 Then they crucified Him and divided His garments, casting lots…

In the spiritual realm, Golgotha contains the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death.

What is the Lake of Fire and Brimstone?

It is the pace of the second death. Here is a scripture that identifies what this is.

Revelation 21:6-8

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 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.”

THE SECOND DEATH

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?”

The Judgment Seat of Christ

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.

As I stood in Judgment before God (see the last four hyperlinks above) it dawned on me that only truth existed in the place of judgment before God. I also somehow knew that the pending judgment before me had a consequence of the second death. A death that is a spiritual death that can occur after our physical death.

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 20:18).

I thought to myself that back in our natural world, I had no clue that such a thing even existed. If I had read the bible then I would have been aware of the following:

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” (Revelation 2:11).

This verse also applies:

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 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 (Revelation 20:11 – 13).

The second death is the end of hell and of death. The result is the total elimination of evil.

Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death (Revelation 20:14).

There will also be an elimination of dying, pain, and tears. Sadly, there will be no more chance for repentance. There will be no chance for those whose name is absent from the Book of Life:

This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15).

But for the followers of Jesus, things will be much different.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6).

My next posting will be about the one who saved me from all of this mess.

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

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:

Gods-Question-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.

INSIDE THE LAKE OF FIRE – THE SECOND DEATH

olgotha, the Skull. In this posting, I communicated that I had been struck with a sudden life-threatening pancreas disorder that sent me to an intensive care unit. After the doctors did all they could that night, they left, believing that I would not likely make it to the morning. As I slowly drifted toward unconsciousness, I left my body behind. I traveled through space and time on a course toward an enormous human skull (Spiritual Golgotha) suspended in space. You can find this posting here: MY JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL GOLGOTHA

SWIMMING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

I soon found myself swimming with countless lost souls in a phosphorescent yellow-orange plasma, delivering scorching heat and immense pressure. These conditions must be like the sun’s fusion reaction, where extreme heat and pressure result from the massive gravitational forces. The heat seared me, and the pressure painfully squeezed me into a rage.   The souls swimming in the lake with me resembled white tadpoles. Together, we darted to and fro, attempting to escape the stinging heat and the crushing weight of the plasma. Each soul also relived the horror, sorrow, pain, and misery of those they hurt. Over and over again, everyone there experienced the feelings their victims experienced from their actions.

The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. (Psalm 18:5)

Even worse, the feelings of every victim are transmitted into the plasma and received by every soul there. Accordingly, every soul relived the cumulative sorrow of every other soul’s victims. Thus, there is a threefold effect of the plasma. There is the heat, the pressure, and thirdly, the continual reliving of the horrors inflicted upon the world. All these drove us into a frenzy, and we darted back and forth, frantically searching for a way out. Like pollywogs being heated in a chemistry beaker, dashing back and forth, seeking escape without hope or rest, exploring continually for relief without end, howling in despair.
Psalm 18:4-5 – New King James Version

The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

While I believed there was no escape from the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, despite this belief, I was instantly relocated to a large, searing, hot cave. Read my next posting as I face Satan in the depths of Hell. You can find it here: IN HELL – CONFRONTED BY THE DEVIL. I have added some reference material below to help you understand my experience better.

What is Spiritual Golgotha?

Golgotha, which translates as the place of the Skull, has been used to identify the place where Jesus Christ was crucified. Here is a scripture that supports this notion.
Matthew 27:33-35 – New King James Version

33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink. 35 Then they crucified Him and divided His garments, casting lots…

The Crucifixion of Jesus
In the spiritual realm, Golgotha contains the Lake of Fire, the place of the second death. What is the Lake of Fire and Brimstone? It is the pace of the second death. Here is a scripture that identifies what this is.
Revelation 21:6-8 – New King James Version

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 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.”

In my prior posting, I communicated that I had been struck with a life-threatening pancreas disorder that sent me to an intensive care unit. After the doctors did all they could, they left, believing that I would likely not make it through the night. As I drifted toward unconsciousness, I left my body. I traveled through space and time on a course toward an enormous human skull (Spiritual Golgotha) suspended in space. The rest of the story follows:

The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. (Psalm 18:4)

I passed through the skull’s open eye socket and entered the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, the place of the second death. 

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 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 21:6 – 8)

I swam in the lake’s luminous yellow-orange plasma and bore its excruciating heat and immense pressure. These conditions must be like the sun’s fusion reaction, where extreme heat and pressure result from the massive gravitational forces. The heat scorched me, and the pressure squeezed everything out of me.   Innumerable souls were swimming there with me, white in color and in the general shape of tadpoles. They voyaged through this hot, orange ooze, wailing in agony on a journey that had no end.  In addition to these tortures, each soul was in an everlasting state of agonizing over their sins, reliving, over and over, the harm and pain they had caused others. They also relived the emotions of remorse, guilt, anger, hatred, and fear that their victims felt due to their actions perpetually. 

The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. (Psalm 18:5)

But even worse, the plasma provided still more misery. The wailing and emotions of each soul there were transmitted into the plasma and were received by every other soul there. Unbelievably, every soul simultaneously experienced the pain and remorse that every other soul experienced. The compounded effect of these conditions was overwhelming. Still, they had no choice but to exist in this continual torment that drove them into raging madness. Therefore, they darted back and forth like pollywogs in a beaker placed over a flaming Bunsen burner. Desperate for escape but without hope or rest, they scoured continuously, seeking an escape that did not exist.
