God's judgment is coming. By all means... pass this article around! (www.heavensoon.com or rapturetoheaven.com)
Acts 17
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance
unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Welcome to Issue number 24 of the Judgment is coming newsletter. May God bless you as you are encouraged and as you eagerly await the soon return of the Lord Jesus! The signs of impending judgment are all around us! It is a source of encouragement to the Christian as we know the Lord Jesus will very soon return!
The end of the age is coming fast upon this last generation of people. The Lord Jesus is returning very soon as this world gets closer to judgment. Soon the rapture of the church will occur and all the judgments found in the book of Revelation will take place on planet earth. Today men and women must make a choice. They must choose to either accept or reject the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
In this article we will look at the inhabitants of hell, the lake of fire. We will see who are going to be the inhabitants in the lake of fire who will be forever in torment.
The first inhabitant of hell is to be expected:
SATAN
The first inhabitant of hell is the devil himself.
The final end of the devil is eternal torment in the lake of fire. He is not in hell yet, but the time of his final judgment is quickly approaching. When the devil is thrown in hell, he will not rule there or torment other people. Instead, he will be one of the inhabitants suffering the tormenting judgment of God forever in the lake of fire. The devil will have no power or strength in the lake of fire. He will suffer in agony forever and ever.
Here is a verse that describes the devil being thrown into hell.
Rev 20
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
The devil is aware that his time is short and he fears being thrown into the lake of fire to suffer eternal torment. Below is a description of the great anger of the devil because he knows he is defeated and his time is short before his judgment in the lake of fire.
Rev 12
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto
you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Hell, the lake of fire was created for the devil and his fallen angels that rebelled with him against God. They go to hell forever by Divine Judgment from God. Only lost mankind go to hell by choice! Isn't that a foolish choice to make when salvation is available from the Lord Jesus?
THE FALLEN ANGELS
When Satan rebelled against God, he convinced 1/3 of the angels to rebel with him. These are the fallen angels. They too know they are defeated and their time of eternal punishment in the lake of fire is coming soon. As a result, they fear and tremble at their coming eternal destiny suffering torment in the lake of fire.
Notice the fear experienced by the fallen angels. They fear God and they fear their time of eternal torment in the lake of fire.
James 2
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble
Matt 8
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes,
there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding
fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
The end of the fallen angels is the same place as the devil. They will suffer eternal torment in the lake of fire along with their leader, Satan. They are aware of this fact and are very afraid.
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;
Matt 25
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Again, notice that the lake of fire was created for the devil and his fallen angels. Lost men and women go there by choice by rejecting salvation found in the Lord Jesus!
THE ANTICHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET
When the Lord Jesus returns to earth at the battle of Armageddon, the antichrist will be thrown into the lake of fire while still alive in his human body. The antichrist and his false prophet will literally be grabbed from the earth and physically thrown into the lake of fire to suffer torment forever and ever. These two are the first to be thrown into the lake of fire. Right now there is no one in the lake of fire. Here is a description of that event that happens when the Lord Jesus returns:
Rev 19
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the
mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
After the rapture the devil will be free to bring to power his antichrist. This Satan possessed man will continue until the Lord Jesus returns. The side-kick of the antichrist is the false prophet. This man will do all kinds of Satanic miracles and deceive all the lost people into following, obeying, and worshipping the antichrist.
The Lord Jesus deals with both the antichrist and his false prophet when He returns physically to earth.
2 Thess 2
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
At the return of the Lord Jesus, the antichrist and the false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. God is so angry and disgusted with these two evil men that they bypass the judgment and are cast alive directly into the lake of fire! Currently no one is suffering torment in the lake of fire. The antichrist and the false prophet are the first two inhabitants of that terrible place.
JUDAS ISCARIOT
Judas is the man who betrayed the Lord Jesus. He sat under the ministry and teaching of the Lord Jesus but never was converted or saved. This man will spend his eternity in hell. The lake of fire will be the eternal "place" of Judas.
Mark 14
21 The Son of man indeed goethw, as it is written of him: but woe to that man
by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never
been born
Acts 1
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas
by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
The Lord warned that it would have been better for Judas if he had never been born. This is true of any lost person. Spending eternity suffering torment in the lake of fire is a terrible eternity. A lost person has all eternity to regret the fact that he rejected God's salvation and chose to pay for his sins himself!
LOST PEOPLE
These are people who go to hell, the lake of fire, by their choice in rejecting God's salvation because they love sin and evil.
John 3
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
ALL lost people who die in their sins will spend their eternity in hell, the lake of fire. These people have rejected God's salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died a substitutionary death on their behalf. These lost people say to God: "I don't want your salvation! Instead, they say, I love sin and darkness and the pleasure it gives. For my sins, I'll pay the price myself". They say this while rejecting the Lord Jesus and choosing to pay for their own sins themselves. The penalty for sin is eternity suffering in the lake of fire. It seems like a stupid choice to me as the Lord Jesus has already paid the penalty for our sins. All we need to do is reach out in faith and trust the Lord Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.
What lost people do is choose an eternity suffering in the lake of fire for a few years of rebellion and pleasure in sin down here on earth. It seems like a very foolish choice to me. What is a few years of sinful pleasure when compared to an eternity suffering in the lake of fire?
Here is a list of some of the things that keep lost people from accepting the gift of salvation found in the Lord Jesus:
1) Love of the pleasure of sin and darkness. Sin does give a short lived pleasure for a season.
2) Refusal to repent and turn away from sin. Why repent if one loves sin and evil?
3) Extreme pride and the refusal to admit that one is a lost sinner in need of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus!
4) Hatred of God. It is hard to believe but there are base individuals in this world who actually hate God and want nothing to do with Him. Some of these people are today, members of secret societies (masons, illumaniti, skull and bones etc) who are actively working as enemies of God to setup Satan's kingdom of the antichrist. Satan is their Lord and they are helping the devil in his attack against God.
5) Love of money and the rejection of God. Some lost people love money so much that all they do is dedicate their life to accumulating wealth and treasure here on earth. I guess they believe in the saying: "He who dies with the most toys wins." But at death there are no U-hauls at a funeral. The dead lost person leaves it ALL behind and then faces eternity either in hell, the lake of fire.
Here are some verses to concerning lost people:
John 8
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe
not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Heb 2
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first
began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
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: which is the second
death.
It is time to make a choice? Repent of your sins and accept the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour!
CONCLUSION
Of all the inhabitants in hell, it is lost people who go there by choice. A lost person rejects the Lord Jesus and thereby rejects Gods' salvation. The end result is that sins must be paid for. Either the lost person accepts the Lord Jesus and His sacrificial death or he rejects the Lord Jesus and pays for his own sins by himself. The penalty for sin is an eternity suffering in hell, the lake of fire.
The devil and his fallen angels go to hell by Divine judgment. Lost people go there by choice. It is a dumb choice, but a choice never-the-less.
Right now it is time to make YOUR choice! What will you do with the only Saviour, the Lord Jesus? Will you accept Him as your Lord and Saviour? Or will you reject Him and pay for your own sins forever in the lake of fire? Make your choice today!
John 3
3 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Rev 14
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

There is a concern that nations are turning to dictatorships and personal
rights and freedoms are being lost. In the USA the constitution is almost
dead. The next major disaster, and it is coming one day, will bury democracy in
America.
Who is to blame? Some say it is the pastors who have gone apostate and rejected the Lord Jesus for false gospels and terrible compromise. This is very true but they are not the root cause of the problem.
Here is the root of the problem. The average "guy" and his family have no interest in the things of God. There is no interest or desire to attend a good Bible believing church. The things of Satan like the occult (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia) and rock music are very popular while the Bible is rejected and mocked. As a result, wicked men will have the ability to destroy blessings and freedom in that nation. This is what is happening in these last days before the return of the Lord Jesus. After the rapture of the Church, society will have degenerated to such a godless point that the devil will be able to easily setup his kingdom of the antichrist. The average "guy" and his family have rejected God. The trend toward increased godlessness will only increase in the days ahead. This will not continue forever! Get ready as judgment is coming!
Proverbs 14
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
WICHITA, Kansas, August 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pastor Mark Holick of Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas has been a very vocal opponent of abortion and pro-life leader in the city of Wichita since 1991. Wichita is home to the infamous late-term abortionist, George Tiller. Tiller is known throughout the world as "Tiller the Killer." He not only kills late-term babies but, if parents so desire, he will baptize the babies before he burns them to ashes in his (on premises) incinerator.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has now contacted Spirit One Christian Center and demanded that all church records be turned over to determine whether or not the church is in violation of its 501c3 tax exempt status. Pastor Holick is being singled out as one through whom the IRS can send the message: "Don't touch abortion -- if you do, we will come after you!" Local ministries have been extraordinarily effective in bringing an end to the abortion industry in Wichita. There is only one abortion mill left -- George Tiller's.
There has been an onslaught of legal tactics attempting to crush Christian
ministries that live out their faith in the streets. Now they are throwing
IRS scare tactics around. "This is simply the latest step in an effort to
silence our Christian witness outside abortion mills," said Pastor Holick.
"The IRS is a powerful weapon in the hands of those who desire to censor
Christianity and remove gentle Christians from proclaiming Christ at these
gates of hell!"
...continued...
"This blatant act of tyranny by our federal government to silence the Church
of Jesus Christ must not stand!" said Rev. Flip Benham, Director of
Operation Save America.

The Bible and Christian beliefs are quickly becoming a criminal offense.
The Government now feels they have the right to attack those who believe
in God's Word, the Bible. Godless men in authority feel they have the
right to cast away the things of God and remove any right to believe in the
Bible from the people. Yet God will have the final say as His judgment
will soon be poured out upon this earth.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them
in derision.
I do not see how any Christian, most of all a Christian minister, can go into these secret lodges with unbelievers. They say they can have more influence for good, but I say that they can have more influence for good by staying out of them and reproving their evil deeds.
You can never reform anything by unequally yoking yourself to ungodly men. True reformers separate themselves from the world. But, some say to me, if you talk that way you will drive all the members of secret societies out of your meetings and out of your churches. But what if I did? Better men will take their places. Give them the truth anyway, and if they would rather leave their churches than their lodges, the sooner they get out of their churches the better.
I would rather have ten members who are separated from the world than a thousand such members! Come out from the lodge.
Better one with God than a thousand without Him! We must walk with
God, and if only one or two go with us, it is all right. Do not let
down the standard to suit men who love their secret lodges or have some
darling sin they will not give up!

People who stay in any Satanic secret society are showing their fruit that
they are not saved in the first place. A saved person seeks to please the
Lord in all he does. Being a member of a Satanic secret society does not
please the Lord and can bring an early death to a Christian. It is
impossible to sup at the table of the Lord and the tables of devils
at the same time.
1 Cor 10
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot
be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
If you are a Satanic mason, skull and bones, or in any other secret society, get out now. If you refuse, then stop calling yourself a Christian as you are not!
First, the committee tried to precisely define an "inter-species embryo."
It initially settled on four types: a "true hybrid," created by uniting an
animal egg with a human sperm or vice versa; a "cybrid," created by
placing the nucleus of a human cell in an animal egg; a "transgenic
embryo," created by introducing human DNA into an animal embryo; and a
"chimera," created by implanting animal cells into a human embryo.

These are term definitions that describe the terrible evil being done by those
in the scientific community. Corrupting DNA is a great sin and will bring
down the judgment of God. All this is another sign that this evil world is
in the very last of the last days before God sends judgment.
Acts 17
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given
assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
From inter-sex fish in the Potomac River to frog mutations in Wisconsin, federal officials are studying the effects of pharmaceuticals such as pain killers and depression medicine in our water supply.
From inter-sex fish in the Potomac River to frog mutations in Wisconsin, federal officials are spending this summer studying the effects of pharmaceuticals such as pain killers and depression medicine on the environment, because the drugs have turned up in America's drinking water.
The cumulative effect of trace amounts of pharmaceuticals and personal-care
products in the water on humans isn't yet known, but the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is taking preventative measures. Pharmaceuticals
have already been linked to behavioral and sexual mutations in fish,
amphibians and birds, according to EPA studies.

Keep in mind that all this poison is also harmful to humans as those
drugs can end up in drinking water or the food supply. The wickedness
of lost man is damaging this planet in these last days before the days
of judgment from God.
2 Tim 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away.
Paying for goods with notes and coins could be consigned to history within five years, according to the chief executive of Visa Europe.
Peter Ayliffe said that, by 2012, using credit and debit cards should be cheaper and more convenient than cash.
Some retailers could soon start surcharging customers if they choose
to buy products with cash, because of the greater cost of processing
these payments, he warned.

The technology for a cashless society is here right now. All that is
needed is for the technology to be put to use and accepted. After
the rapture of the Church, there will be no more restraint on
wickedness. At this time the devil will be free to setup his
antichrist kingdom and bring the antichrist to power. In those
days it will be quick and easy to setup a global cashless society
for all those willing to bow their knee and worship the antichrist.
Rev 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
God was disgusted with Noah's generation and sent Divine judgment. The same is true today! Judgment is coming and it is coming soon. Here are a few ways lost people have offended the Lord:
- rejection of the Bible
- perversion of the Bible with bad and incorrect transations like the NIV etc
(stick with the KJV)
- love of the occult with the prime examples being the popularity of Harry
Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Narnia
- Satan's rock music
- Evolution that claims there is no God. The belief of fools.
- Murder of the unborn - abortion
- corruption of human, animal, and plant DNA through genetic modification
- great apostasy and falling away from sound Biblical doctrine
- acceptance of all forms of sexual immorality while rejecting the Bible
and Godly moral standards
- love of worldliness and the pursuit of temporal riches.
Lost people think they can continue in their wickedness with no response from the God of heaven and earth whom they despise. Don't be deceived as judgment is coming very soon. God judged the world in the days of Noah and He will do it again. In fact, God warned that similar circumstances would be in the world today as was in the days of Noah before the flood.
Matt 24
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.
Expect life to go on normally until one day when it is least expected, the rapture will occur. After that the final prophecies will occur quickly to the time when the Lord Jesus returns at the battle of Armegeddon.
Don't reject or put off salvation until another day sometime in the future because judgment is coming very soon! Do not make the mistake that, somehow, God is blind to all the evil in the world. He is not blind or deaf. Read the below:
Isa 47
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me.
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said
in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence
it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to
put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou
shalt not know.
Let me assure you that judgment is coming and it is coming very soon! Are you ready! Have you accepted the only Saviour, the Lord Jesus? Time... is quickly running out!
