Please read earlier installments before continuing with present one.

The word 'hell' occurs 31 times in the Old Testament K.J.V, and 23 times in the New Testament K.J.V. 12 times it is translated from the word, 'Gehenna' in the N.T, 10 times from 'hades' defined as 'the unseen realm' which is the grave, pit, in the N.T, and but one time from 'Tartaroo' which is said to be 'the deepest part of hades,' also in the N.T. Talk about inconsistency in translation and that of GOD'S HOLY AND SOVEREIGN WORD!! What I would like to know, is why has the K.J.V.'s inaccurate translation of the word 'HELL' been accepted? Why is this so? I have the God given RIGHT to know! So do you, especially if you're not sure 'where you will end up when you die,' an all to familiar line! Does not the bible teach us that we are to come to God by FAITH, which alone pleases Him (Heb. 11:6) and not by that man-enticed fear-filled line? Oh, and how many fell for that one and think that they are saved! We must be careful of becoming offended:

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Mat 18:7 K.J.V.

Instead of becoming offended, we need to regularly do a 'faith' check. A soul is 'drawn' to the Lord only by His Spirit and that by FAITH.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. [Taught what? The FEAR of hell fire if they reject Jesus?] Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Jn 6:43-45 K.J.V.

Again, it is not by the FEAR of hell fire that we are drawn to God. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY our loving God has EVER created a place such as that! And how is it that I positively know this TRUTH?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF GOD EVER HAVING CREATED 'HELL' IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES!!

So how is it that a principle has been established in that God created 'hell'? Where are the 'two or three witnesses?' Continuing...

'GEHENNA:'

geenna

gheh'-en-nah

Of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]); valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. (Strong's) (only God alone knows why the translators put that word 'hell' in here!!).

Don't miss that crucial word, 'figuratively,' that says it all! Gehenna in the original Greek manuscripts refers to the place where child sacrifice by fire was practiced in the Old Testament.

Moreover he (Ahab) burnt incense in the valley of the son of 'Hinnom', and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 2Ch 28:3 K.J.V.

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom) Mat 5:22 M.K.J.V.

And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell. (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom) Mat 5:29 M.K.J.V.

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (gehenna; valley of the son of Hinnom)Mar 9:47 M.K.J.V.

Oh, the many times I have heard these verses preached and used to 'prove' the existence of 'hell!' Can somebody please tell me why the 'Great Teachers' of the Word who went through extensive biblical studies, never informed us (up to this very day!) that there was a mistranslation regarding this word 'hell?'

Continuing... Gehenna is the only Greek word translated into the English word 'hell', which has 'fire' associated with it. However, as we see in Strong's definition given above, it's not 'HELL FIRE' as is commonly accepted! It exclusively refers to the place of child sacrifice by fire which Israel was ensnared into practicing in Hinnom. When Jesus mentions things like: 'calling your brother a fool and cutting off certain body parts' or else one will be in danger of 'hell fire,' (which is Gehenna/Hinnom), he is referring to one's 'heart' being wicked, for out of it flows the issues of life. Jesus sets a very high standard of living in that just calling somebody a 'fool' reveals poison in ones heart and is therefore in danger of journeying down the 'wide road' of rebellion. As for 'the body parts', they are not the cause of one sinning, it's the heart! And just as the harlot in Proverbs who will 'bring one down to Sheol' (the grave); If any was found having sexual relations with her, they would be stoned to death as per the Law and end up in Sheol! The grave is exactly where one will end up if we do not allow God to purify our hearts! We will be brought into the ground, 'ashes to ashes and dust to dust' just as could be seen by the people in Jesus' time in the Hinnom valley near the city of Jerusalem! Therefore, we are to fix up our hearts by the Power which only comes from God or we will be subject to be ensnared into rebellion which is the seed of witch-craft and therefore leads to the gruesome occult of child sacrifice, and therefore liable to the judgment of death. So Jesus purposely used the Hinnom (Gehenna) valley nearby as an excellent example to minister about that type of judgment. But can someone please tell me how it is that Gehenna/Hinnom was translated into 'hell' in the understanding of what 'hell' commonly means today? Or are we to think that God will actually do the very same thing as wicked Israel did which is far more worse, by throwing BILLIONS of His children into a HOT MOLTEN LAVA OF FIRE FOREVER and 'the church' has the gall to exclaim: “That's Righteous Judgment?"

For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God? 1Pe 4:17 M.K.J.V.

On the one hand the church preaches of God's awesome Love and on the other, they drive the FEAR OF 'HELL FIRE' into the people and say 'it's God's 'Righteous Judgment' when in fact they make the Holy and Loving God who has made His Son the propitiation of ALL the sins of ALL MANKIND, more wicked than Hitler and satan put together! How is it that the church will escape judgment for this EXTREME HERESY?! When will the church WAKE UP and understand that our God is in the PURIFYING OF SOULS BUSINESS and that of the WHOLE WORLD? That is the reason why Jesus is crowned:

SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD!!

HADES AND THE LAKE OF FIRE:

hadēs

hah'-dace

From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell (Strong's) (again, only God alone knows why the translators put that word 'hell' in here!!).

And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to the heaven, shall be brought down to hell ('hades'; which is the unseen, the grave). For if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. Mat 11:23 M.K.J.V.

According to the definition of hades, which is the grave, this is exactly what happened to the city of Capernaum. It was in reality, destroyed and 'brought down to the ground', dead and buried, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, now but a graveyard! Well, what can be said but: “Jesus is the TRUTH!”

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell (hades, the grave/ground,earth) he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Lk. 16:19-31 K.J.V.

Now how is it that ANYONE can speak being dead in the ground (Hades, Sheol)? Oh, but now we have to 'keep up' with Jesus because he's on a much 'higher' spiritual level. (Remember: “the words that I speak are spirit and life...?”) It's the same focus > the condition of the heart! Although Jesus' mentioning of Capernaum had a spiritual meaning, it was also a hard fact. But the rich man and Lazarus is a parable which has a much deeper spiritual truth. Nothing much is said about the rich man except that he was 'loaded' (with money), and selfish. As for Lazarus, he was poor and a beggar. As it is 'falsely' and commonly accepted, the rich man went to 'hell' frying himself to 'kingdom come' and Lazarus off course is in heaven. How the rich man gets it right to even get ONE word out of his mouth is beyond me! Try having a conversation like he did while having a flame put to you skin. Tell me, did you get any other word out of you mouth except: "A-A-A-H-H-H!!!"

In verse 24 the rich man cries out: “for I am tormented in this flame.” But Hades being the grave/ground, has no flame in it! So what is this 'flame' that he is experiencing? It's the 'burning desire' to be where Lazarus is, which is in the Kingdom of God in the hope of the first resurrection! Abraham in this parable is Kingdom of God, for he is the Father of faith! The 'flame' is also the deep regret in not doing the same which Jesus asked the 'rich young ruler' to do which is to: 'sell all he has and give to the poor' (Lazarus). That is the reason why he cries to Father Abraham to send Lazarus to his 'five' brothers, so that he can hopefully convince them to repent and to have a generous 'heart' and 'give to the poor' or suffer as he is in having no hope in the resurrection!

He who has an ear, listen: The 5 brothers represents the FIVE FOLD MINISTRY and is a WARNING TO IT! See also Matt.7:21-23. (This is the same five husbands the 'woman at the well' in Jn Ch.4 had and who has not given her the 'proper feeding' but rather sucked her out bone dry! That is the reason why she is found at the well desiring to have her 'thirst quenched!' But then she meets her REAL HUSBAND who offers to her, LIVING WATER which will NEVER leave her thirsty again!)

There's a very good reason why Jesus mentions the rich man clothed in PURPLE and FINE LINEN, it signifies the 'CHURCH HIERARCHY!' I know, that's a real shocker isn't it! So how is it then that the 5 fold ministry has neglected the poor? The answer is not that they have neglected them, they have UNJUSTLY EXACTED MONEY FROM THE POOR! That's all I'm gonna say about that, for now! Maybe not! Ever wondered why the 'poor' is still found in the church and yet the revenue of tithes and offerings in the church globally rank in the multi billions? The poor are being sucked dry just like the woman at the well was, and also just like what happened to Lazarus! Do you catch all of that?

He who has an ear; let him hear...

Continuing:

The answer that Abraham gives to the rich man, refers to the 'flaming lust' of riches which the 'five brothers' are ensnared by and therefore won't believe the true prophets of God or Lazarus!

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you that a rich man will with great difficulty enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Mat 19:23-24 M.K.J.V.

Have you noticed that Jesus did not say that the rich man will 'never' enter into the Kingdom? He will eventually enter, but only after the second resurrection when he has to pass through Jesus, the Lake of Fire, and purifier. However, there is no hope for the rich man to sit down and sup with Abraham and family in the Kingdom at the first resurrection. That is the reason for his 'flamed torment' in hades, the grave and NOT 'HELL' as is commonly accepted. I submit to you that Jesus was admonishing us to develop a GIVING and PURE 'heart' which leads to LIFE. A selfish heart like that of the rich man, leads to death in hades, the grave, with no hope of being part in the first resurrection.

“Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” This is the hope for Lazarus and all who follow; It is the hope of the GREAT RESURRECTION of the saints. You see, the truth is that Lazarus also is in the ground, hades. But only he and not the rich man will be raised up from hades in the FIRST resurrection. The rich man will be risen in contempt at the SECOND resurrection but will however be cleansed from his wicked ways by passing through the Lake of Fire which is Christ the purifier. What's that? You still don't believe that Jesus' Blood is not powerful enough to cleanse ALL the souls who will be raised up in the second resurrection? Well so much for:

“There is Power, Power , wonder working Power

In the Blood of the Lamb...”

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell (hades,the grave) shall not prevail against it. Mat 16:18 M.K.J.V.

This is pretty simple. The building material that Jesus will use is the Word, which is spirit and life, his is very own self! And hasn't Jesus conquered the 'grave' (hades) so that we who believe on him inherit the same, making us 'MORE THAN CONQUERERS?' God will not have our souls 'see corruption' (the grave) by leaving us as ash and dust in the ground (hades)! Jesus is our predecessor by CONQUERING THE GRAVE via His resurrection, and therefore this is our GREAT HOPE!

However, the hope for the whole world to be saved in the end, is also in Christ! Praise God! Jesus is the PURIFIER whom God the Father PURIFIES the WHOLE WORLD with! Don't you see, this right here is the REAL GOOD NEWS!! We are going to see all those whom we thought were damned to hell (BILLIONS OF THEM!!), SAVED!! After the great judgment where will all of them who rejected Jesus be? They will be thrown into the lake of fire. To burn forever experiencing the most excruciating pain? NO! They will be thrown in-

TO BE PURIFIED BY THE MERCIFUL MOST HIGH, VIA HIS SON JESUS CHRIST!!

Again, we must check our hearts if we think it 'unfair' or even 'unrighteous' that those who certainly are undeserving to say the least, will all be SAVED in the end!

Remember how angry and offended the brother of the prodigal son was when he got saved and a huge celebration was given for him? Remember when Jonah was upset when the people of Nineveh repented and was saved and Jonah then 'self righteously' thought that they should receive a harsh punishment - death? Remember the parable where one person got agitated in that he sacrificed in the hot sun much more than the others who didn't sacrifice as much, but yet received the same payment?

Read Matt.20:1-16

So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and pay them their wage, beginning from the last to the first.

And when they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each one received a denarius.

But when the first came, they supposed that they would received more; and they also each one received a denarius.

And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

saying, These last have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

Take yours, and go; I will give to this last one the same as to you.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen. Matt. 20:8-16 M.K.J.V.

Those verses are self explanatory! And the main issue once again, is the condition of our hearts!

There awaits a GLORIOUS prize for those who TRULY belongs to the GROOM having GIVEN UP ALL FOR HIM ALONE! They will rise on the 'third day' and rule and reign with Christ; They have been 'hand-selected' by the Father. They are HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, the BRIDE of CHRIST who will rule and reign over the nations. The 'nations' are those who passed through the PURIFYING LAKE OF FIRE AND ARE SAVED!!

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God, Rev 21:10 M.K.J.V.

And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. Rev 21:23 M.K.J.V.

And the nations of those who are saved (those who passed through the Lake of Fire.) will walk in the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Rev 21:24 M.K.J.V.

And its gates may not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there. Rev 21:25 M.K.J.V.

And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. Rev 21:26 M.K.J.V.

And there shall in no way enter into it anything that defiles, or any making an abomination or a lie; but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Rev 21:27 M.K.J.V.

It's amazing to me that there are those who still think that there is a 'real book' in heaven! And that when God speaks of, thrown into the lake of fire that it 'literally' will happen that way! It won't! Here's a news flash:

GOD IS SPIRIT AND ALL THOSE WHO COME TO HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT!!

It is carnal to think that God is physically going to throw people into a physical lake of fire, sign in the book, etc. By the way, since when is fire, even as flowing lava, EVER A LAKE? A lake exclusively refers to a pond of water'; But is Jesus not the WATER OF LIFE? And is it not mentioned that the 'WATER OF LIFE' will be freely given to those who thirst? Jesus is both the 'lake of fire' and the 'water of life'! Remember when the rich man begs to have his tongue cooled with water from Lazarus' finger? All those resurrected in shame will receive 'THE REFRESHING' from our MERCIFUL SAVIOUR! JESUS WILL GIVE THEM LIVING WATER TO 'COOL THEIR TONGUE' AND SAVE THEM ALL, HALLELUJAH!!

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 K.J.V.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Rev 22:17 K.J.V.

BRIMSTONE:

...shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev.21:8b K.J.V.

Many consider brimstone in this verse of scripture to be a substance which makes the 'lake of fire' even hotter than what it already is! The whole idea is to inflict more pain on the souls who have been cast into this lake! How truly SICK 'the church' has become and WORSE in that they portray God as a terrifying torturer, 'sprinkling' brimstone into the fire and going: “Yes! Burn you rebellious souls! Suffer and be in great torment! Here's another dose of brimstone as you deserve and don't get too comfortable, 'cause the dose will increase at regular intervals THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY! HA! HA! HA!”

This is the type of God which the church preaches of in the world and it is TRAGICALLY, no different to the 'gods' of all the other religions!

Brimstone is the ancient word for sulfur. 'Raw' sulfur is found chiefly in volcanic or sedimentary deposits. The lethal gas with a strong unpleasant odour which is released in the air in active volcanoes, is the presence of sulfuric acid. It comes in different compounds and has interesting properties. It is a preservative, a bleacher, is used for fruit ripening and it exhibits catenation which is the bonding of an atom to another identical atom. John described what he saw in the spirit by mentioning 'brimstone.' The presence of brimstone in the lake of fire which is Christ, is to preserve, protect and whiten (bleach) the souls in it! An example would be the account of the fate of Sodom and Gomorrha:

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Luk 17:29 K.J.V.

They may have been destroyed in the flesh by fire (for that's where their sin abounded); but the brimstone is 'prophetic' in that it will preserve and cleanse them as they pass through the lake of fire at the final judgment. As for the 'unpleasant odour', God as the consuming fire will incinerate their sins but protect and cleanse their souls and this in turn will give off a terrible stench (volcanic sulfur gas), for which their sins are responsible. Remember the properties of sulfur in that it's used for 'fruit ripening and exhibiting catenation? Well, these purified souls will be fit for the Masters use, for he will completely cleanse them for his purpose just like sulfur is good for so many usages! We will ALL be the 'salt' (sulfur salt compound) flavouring and 'ripening the fruit' of the New Heaven (universe) and the New Earth! In fact, the entire human race who will be fully TRANSFORMED, will be an integral part in creating this New Universe to the great pleasure of God our Father! Hallelujah!

Picture this: At the last judgment, God raises ALL from the dead. Now these are all who are blackened with sin because they have not believed and received Jesus in their lifetime on earth. They are the ones who are raised in 'utter shame' as the bible teaches us. Now, “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God the Great Judge!” Can you picture all those billions of souls not being able to stand, but laying prostrate before HIM, THE HOLY AND AWESOME ONE in total fear? They know exactly what they deserve; But all of a sudden, who do they see coming forward, 'scarred' beyond recognition? Why, it's the LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN BY THE VERY PEOPLE and more so, BY THEIR SINS! And they at that very moment will KNOW IT for God in His power will do it and they will weep and loudly cry out:

"CAST US INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE THAT WE MIGHT BE SAVED!!"

Remember: “all those that are willing?” God will do this marvelous thing for only He knows how to bring man into PERFECT REPENTANCE! Remember how Jesus got Saul's attention and then got him 'saved' by the baptism of fire (the blinding light), and renamed him Paul? I mean really! This man KILLED and TORTURED the believers in Christ Jesus! Here is an EVIL man who did not even submit and humble himself to Jesus, but has the HONOUR of hearing and seeing him and most importantly, GETS TRANSFORMED IN A BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHT!! So, how is it that the church has not considered that Jesus will also transform those of the second resurrection? God certainly is not a respecter of persons! Why would Jesus transform evil Saul and NOT the rest of the wicked raised in contempt?

Do I hear someone saying: “Yes, but who can know the ways of the Lord and who can dare to question him?”

Well, here's my answer:

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:9-10 M.K.J.V.

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1Jo 2:20 M.K.J.V.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Pro 25:2 K.J.V.

Do you not know that

...the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Rom 2:4 K.J.V.

All those who are raised up in the second resurrection, will be saved by the sweet mercies and goodness of God! They voluntary will want to be BAPTIZED into the CUP OF SUFFERING which is into Christ, THE LAKE OF FIRE. And they shall ALL be SAVED! Why? Because they all will have the FULL understanding of the sacrifice the Lamb has made for them! This will cause PERFECT CONVICTION and they in turn will willingly want to partake of this sacrifice by going through the Lake of Fire which are trials and tribulations! God in his power will CAUSE this to happen just like he done with Paul and many others through the centuries (via trials and tribulations!). Therefore:

JESUS IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD!!

All things have been given to Christ, and just as ALL things came from God, so must all things come into Christ. He is the Lake of Fire! EVERYTHING is thrown into Christ! Death, hades (the unseen, sheol, the grave, pit), all who rejected Jesus, all of heaven and all of earth are ALL going to be thrown into HIM for the sins to be incinerated and the souls to be PURIFIED and SAVED!

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as BY FIRE. (KJV. 1Co. 3:15)

This truly is one of the 'corner-stone' scriptures which reveals the simple truth of the last judgment.

any man's	This simply means each one of the human race.
work shall be burned,	Remember the rest of the dead being judged for their WORKS in Revelation? Having passed through the Lake of Fire, Jesus, their works will be burned.
he shall suffer loss	The attachment to worldly things through lust, will be violently consumed by the fire causing those who are cast into the lake, to 'suffer great loss'. Jesus refers to this in His parables.
BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED;	Well, that says it all! The fire wont consume them, only the works! All those souls WILL BE SAVED!! (via trials and tribulations!). PRAISE OUR GREAT SAVIOUR FOR HIS MERCIES THAT WE HAVE YET TO FULLY COMPREHEND!!
yet so as BY FIRE.	Our God is a consuming FIRE! He is NOT a fire that will destroy His children even if they are disobedient! He, as the Lake of Fire, will consume the works of sin, but PURIFY ALL THE SOULS; MAKING THEM BRAND NEW!! BLESSED IS HIS NAME FOREVER!!

BEHOLD!! I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!!
