Hell: Spiritual or Physical or both?

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Hell – the Lake of Fire – Gehenna – Valley of Hinnom; Spiritual or Physical or both? What can we garner from Scripture?

Currently, the region of Hell is spiritual, existing in the Spiritual Realm, as it was created for Satan and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41) and only the most vile of demons are interned there at this juncture in Elohim’s eschatological plan; this, as a result of their deception, their unconscionable defilement, within the Adamic and Noahic generations that ultimately led to the extinction of humanity by water save eight (Jude 1:6).

It is important to note that the physical Hell AKA the Lake of Fire, manifesting in the Physical Realm subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, is not relevant for humanity until subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15). Currently, all unrighteous dead from the Adamic generation forward who are not redeemed by faith and have died in body are interned in Sheol/Hades-Torments (Luke 16), a spiritual internment within the Spiritual Realm, awaiting the “resurrection of the condemned” and the final Judgment before Jesus Christ (John 5:28-29). These unrighteous condemned possess total situational awareness, they are fully cognizant of their surroundings in Sheol/Hades and are in torment due their defilement and rejection of Elohim. These defiled who rejected covenant with Elohim by faith will be resurrected in a body of corruption and stand before Jesus for adjudication concerning works done in body within the constraints of Time; this judgment will manifest immediately subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign (Revelation 20:11-15).

A physical Hell, the Lake of Fire, often compared to the fire of Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom), will manifest in the physical Realm of Time subsequent the Millennial Reign of Messiah as the “Judgment of the Condemned” (Revelation 20:10-15) will run concurrently with the destruction of the Earth and the Heavens by fire…this will be the “second death” for all whose names are absent the Lamb’s Book of Life…they will be dissolved in fervent heat, consumed in fire and their death will be the “second death”…an eternal death as the Earth is purified by fire and remolded, restructured, into the New Earth and a New Heaven which will be foundational for the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 20-21-22).

The Spiritual Hell and the Physical Hell,

The Lake of Fire within the Spiritual Realm will be eternal for Satan and his angels as they are spirit and they will not die (Revelation 20:10; Luke 20:36); therefore, the “Hell” of the Spiritual Realm will be eternal suffering; the Lake of Fire for rebellious humanity, the Physical Hell, will be the fire of purification concerning the old Earth and the old Heavens dissolved by unconscionable heat…this is the second death and these will be as if they never existed; this, due our Lord’s mandate that “nothing impure will ever enter” His Kingdom (Revelation 21:27).

In closing,

It is only the purity, the sinless perfection, of Jesus Christ gifted – imputed into our life by grace through faith in Jesus as our Messiah that opens the Door to the Kingdom (John 10:9-16) as only the sinless purity of Jesus over our lives by faith initiates eternal covenant with the Father that results in covenant promise of forgiveness of sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12); therefore, without Jesus as our Intercessor before the Father and the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant, there is no hope, only Hell, the second death, nihilism, awaits (Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 4:12).

2 Peter 3: The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up… the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

Israel v. Iran/Islam and “Conditional” v. “Unconditional” Covenants

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
What does it mean that Elohim chose Israel? Differentiating between Elohim’s “conditional” and “unconditional” covenants and their relevance in the current Israel v. Iran/Islam war…

Israel was “chosen” as a Nation of sanctification, a setting apart for Elohim’s eschatological purposes. It’s eternally relevant that Elohim’s sovereign “choices” concerning the introduction of His Messiah into the Realm of Time; this, concerning the destruction of the works of Satan (1 John 3:8b), has nothing to do with the responsibility of Jacob’s children concerning their individual responsibility to trust in Elohim by faith, faith being the KEY to establishing a covenant relationship with the Father; this, from Adam forward. There is a prevailing misnomer and misunderstanding concerning Jacob’s children as Elohim’s chosen; yes, Elohim has set-apart a people group concerning His sovereign eschatological purposes but it’s the “physical Nation of Israel” that received an “unconditional covenant” from Elohim, not the individual Jew or Israelite.

Elohim’s covenant concerning the “Nation” of Israel itself is “unconditional;” that is, Elohim will keep this covenant irrespective of the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of Jacob’s children (Genesis 13:14-17) as Elohim’s covenants concerning the Nation of Israel are of eternal relevance concerning eschatology and the culmination of all things through Messiah; the establishment of a New Covenant providing blood atonement for sin and access to the Kingdom; the defeat of Satan at Golgotha; the Great Commission; the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the Judgment of Satan and the Condemned; the purification of the Heavens and the Earth by fire; the creation of a New Heaven and New Earth and ultimately the placement of the New Jerusalem and eternal service to Elohim via the resurrection.

These eschatological prophecies must come to pass and the Nation of Israel is a major player in these eschatological events; therefore, be cautious when suggesting that the Jewish-Israeli people are “chosen” when it is the Nation of Israel that Elohim has “unconditionally chosen” as those who are of Jacob’s seed are individually responsible for their personal, intimate, covenant relationship with Elohim which is attainable only by grace through faith; this, as Jacob’s seed has received NO special salvation dispensation apart from the prerequisite offered the Gentile from Adam forward; that is, grace through faith (Hebrews 11).

Israel – Elohim – Allah/Islam – Satan’s motives revealed…

Also note, Israel’s children and their relationship with Elohim as a “Nation of Israelite’s” (blessing and cursing) was “conditionally” predicated upon “National Obedience” as per Deuteronomy 28 and though Jacob’s children failed to maintain covenant with Elohim as per these mandates, Elohim is “unconditionally” obligated to Israel as a Nation, a Nation that is the “focal point” of all eschatology going forward; this, but one reason Satan through Islam fervently seeks to erase the Nation of Israel from the Global geographical map. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an “angel of light” via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14); therefore, understand that Islam’s obsession with the complete annihilation of the Nation of Israel and “wiping Israel from the map” is purely spiritual as Satan seeks to nullify Elohim’s unconditional promises thereby making Elohim a liar; this spiritual motive of Satan also under girding the Jewish Holocaust as Islam allied with Hitler to formalize and enact the “final solution.”

Unconditional v. Conditional Covenants,

Differentiating Elohim’s “unconditional” and “conditional” covenants concerning Israel and Jacob’s seed is eternally relevant as Jacob’s children are currently under divine judgment for their rejection of the Great Commission; their rejection and conspiratorial murder of Messiah; their insistence that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); Jewish-Israeli continued rejection, unbelief, in Messiah Yeshua (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 9-11) yet Elohim WILL sustain the Nation of Israel NOT due His conditional covenants with Jacob’s seed but due His “unconditional covenant” concerning the Nation of Israel, its strategic location and eschatological relevance going forward; therefore, pray for the Nation of Israel, pray for peace in Jerusalem and pray for the individual Jew and Israelite that they might trust in Yeshua as their Messiah who died for them and thereby LIVE by faith and not in self-righteousness through Torah Law.

Israel will survive; Israel will be victorious; Man’s opinion is irrelevant…

Israel represents the ONLY people in the Middle East willing to provide the Palestinians a place of refuge…NO ONE in the surrounding Muslim majority Nations want the Hell that comes with Palestinian Islamic radical ideology.

Israel IS the Bible and Elohim’s eschatological focal point in Time…you can accept this or deny it but your opinion is IRRELEVANT as Israel will survive and Islam will burn as will Satan who is Islam’s Allah.

Israel is the undeniable chasm that divides the Light from the darkness. Those who advocate the Light, Jesus Christ, defend Israel as the Light is Israel (John 8:12); those who defend the false light (2 Corinthians 11:14); that is, Islam’s Allah, join themselves with the darkness that will be judged by fire.

Light v. Darkness revealed in the United States

This current conflict between Israel and Palestine’s governing authority, HAMAS, has brought to light the spiritual divide in the United States as those who defend Israel ally with Elohim; those who defend Palestine advocate for the Devil, Allah, and this chasm in America is relevant concerning every aspect of our declining Nation as the servants of Satan-Allah are in authority and the people suffer in immoral filth.

Those who support Israel’s battle with Islamic terrorism v. those who support Islam, the Muslim World. What is the differentiating LINE IN THE SAND?

Those who support Israel’s battle with Islamic terrorism v. those who support Islam, the Muslim World. What is the differentiating LINE IN THE SAND?

With succinctness as the objective, the LINE IN THE SAND dividing support for Israel v. support for the Islamist – the Muslim is wholly SPIRITUAL. Those who advocate for Israel’s right to exist and support Israel in their response to Islamic terrorism understand Elohim’s eschatological objectives, they believe Elohim is our Creator and Israel is His eschatological representative in Time and they therefore support Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Nation given Jacob’s children via an unconditional covenant between Elohim and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and realized through Moses and Joshua.

On the other hand, those who support Islam, Palestine, the Muslim World deny Elohim’s sovereignty concerning Israel; therefore, those who advocate Islam’s terrorism against Jacob’s children are aligned with Satan and Satan’s objective of destroying Jerusalem, Israel and Jacob’s children thereby thwarting Messiah Yeshua’s future Millennial Reign.

The struggle between Israel and Islam is the struggle between Elohim and Satanic forces, a war that rages in the Spiritual Realm and manifests itself in the Physical Realm through the struggles of Israel/Christianity v. Islam-Satan.

Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14). Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon-possessed nomadic pedophile murdering thief who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran.

Muhammad is a product of the Ishmaelites, a virulent enemy of Israel, whose progenitor is Ishmael, a “wild ass” of a man born of adultery between Abraham and Hagar (Genesis 16:12). Ishmael via Hagar is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac is the child of promise through Sarah and Abraham through whom the promise of Messiah was given (Genesis 12:3b; Genesis 22:2).

Islam is a demonically rooted religious cult of death and Hell and its presence within the Realm of Time represents the spiritual wickedness of Satan and his fallen angels.

The spiritual struggle between Israel – Christianity and Islam is a physical manifestation of the spiritual war that rages in both the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm (Ephesians 6), a spiritual and physical conflict that will NOT be concluded until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign where the entirety of Elohim’s enemies will be destroyed by fire and Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet, the fallen angels, interned in the spiritual Hell, forever (Revelation 20).

Jesus IS Elohim (Genesis 1:1)

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Jesus is Elohim, our Creator, Warrior, Messiah, Judge…

Jesus is Elohim, Deity, our Creator and Messiah and Judge and those who know Him as their Messiah by faith understand this, testify of same, as the Deity of Jesus and the knowledge of that truism is the differentiating reality between the redeemed Christian and every religion and cult of the World (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1).

The one who possesses the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) testifies of Messiah’s Deity as the Spirit teaches this truism and if one denies Messiah’s deity they are absent the indwelling Holy Spirit; therefore, they remain in their sin, they are absent covenant relationship with the Father and on the broad road to death in Hell.

Torah and the Holy Spirit

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
Torah and the Spirit,

Torah is a roadmap but NOT the destination. Jesus is the destination.

Torah does hint at a grace to come through Messiah but the reality of Torah is obedience to a Law Covenant given a people group sanctified by Elohim for eschatological purposes concerning the coming Messiah who was foreordained “to destroy the works of the devil” (Genesis 3:15;1 John 3:8b) via a Gospel of Grace, “a battle strategy” ordained “before Time began” (Genesis 3:21; 2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Torah Law demanded perfection (James 2:10) from a sin-nature that could never adequately comply (Romans 5:12; Romans 8:1-9); therefore, Torah only cursed those who sought righteousness through obedience to a written code provided at Sinai (Galatians 3:10); therefore, though Torah pointed to a grace that was to come via the Messiah, grace was NOT realized through Torah which emphasized National and personal obedience via compliance (Deuteronomy 28)…a compliance that could never truly be realized due the sin-nature inherited from Adam (John 1:17; Romans 8:1-6). Grace and Truth were ultimately realized, embodied, through Jesus our Messiah (John 1:17).

Jesus is our divine Rabbi provided by Elohim but our true Teacher is the Holy Spirit given those who trust in Jesus by faith (Ephesians 1:13-14). It is the anointing of the Spirit in our daily life as a Christian that teaches us through daily sanctification (1 John 2:27); this, via the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) via a spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and NOT a law etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 7:6).

Tozer allegedly said that the God of modern Christianity is NOT the God of the Bible; therefore, modern Christianity is decaying…is Tozer correct?

“Christianity is decaying and going down the gutter, because the god of modern Christianity, is not the God of the bible”— A.W. Tozer (Pastor)… Is Tozer correct?

Christian rebuttal,

Premise: A “decaying” Christianity is theologically and spiritually impossible.

Pastor Tozer, if the quote is accurate, obviously does NOT understand the immutability of true Christianity. Christianity is a personal, intimate, relationship with the Father by faith in the Son and daily sanctification performed by the Holy Spirit in the life of the redeemed in Jesus.

Christianity is NOT a mass “religion;” therefore, its efficacy, its viability, its future, are not reliant upon an organization, council, group think, denominational affiliation or Church but Christianity, as a personal relationship with Elohim by faith, will be relevant throughout Eternity as intimate relationship through faith will, forever, be the KEY to the Father’s heart. If one serves a god other than the Father, Son, Spirit, as clearly introduced within the Canon of Scripture, they are not a Christian but a cult, a religion; therefore, Tozer’s warning is baseless, logically irrelevant.

Religions and sects and cults have a form of godliness but deny the Truth of the Living God, Elohim; therefore, such religions have ZERO relevance in Time and Eternity as they are reliant upon self-righteousness to earn one’s audience with a god or deity; this, an insult, an affront, to the Living God, Elohim; therefore, the theological premise upon which Christianity exists, grace through faith, is eternal Truth that is immutable and NOT subject to decay or the gutter (John 3; Galatians 2:16).

There is one Christianity; that is, intimate, eternal, relationship with Elohim by grace through faith in Messiah Jesus…there is no “modern Christianity” only a facade purporting itself as legitimate Christianity and accepted by the spiritually dead, the naïve, the spiritually ignorant, the demonically deceived, and often cited by those with a religious motive to denigrate true Christianity, the culprits are overwhelming religionists in Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Secular Humanism.

If you are redeemed by faith in Jesus as your Messiah and the Holy Spirit, who is Elohim, indwells you, you ARE “Christianity” and your faith, your intimate relationship with the Father by faith in the Son is “Guaranteed” by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14); therefore, it is better to take refuge in Jesus than put your confidence in sinful, fallible, men and their illogical ramblings about the faltering of the Christian faith (Psalm 118:8).

Judaism-Islam-Catholicism are prominent examples of “religions of decay” in the World today as their constituency adhering to their tenets, their doctrines of demons, works and self-righteousness, will not find life in the Kingdom (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10; Galatians 2:16).

A deceived cult member said that you must first turn to the Father and learn the ways of the Kingdom and change your way of thinking in order to receive eternal life. Is this true?

A deceived cult member said that you must first turn to the Father and learn the ways of the Kingdom and change your way of thinking in order to receive eternal life. Is this true?

First of all, if you desire to please the Father your must first comply with His will; that is, “believe in the One He has sent into the World” to provide you atonement for your sin (John 6:29); that is, believe in Jesus Christ as Messiah who died for you (John 3); then, receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14). It is only by faith in the Son as Messiah that one is redeemed from sin and Hell. It is only by faith in Jesus as one’s Messiah that one receives the imputed-gifted righteousness of Jesus over their life in exchange for their sin and the covenant promise of forgiveness (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

Sanctification following Salvation by faith…

It is the indwelling Holy Spirit who provides you a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) that desires the will of the Father and the Holy Spirit then enlivens the spiritual law (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) that is written upon your heart and by this, the Spirit forms a catalyst via the combination of your redeemed conscience and the enlivened spiritual law to walk you daily in the process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16) and the Spirit produces through you “fruits of righteousness” and there is NO LAW against this fruit but that fruit fulfills all law (Galatians 5). Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).

Therefore, if you desire to turn to the Father for salvation you must first come to Him via the Son by faith (John 14:6).

Why are people of faith aghast at the Progressive support for Islamic terrorism against Israel?

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,
Why are people aghast at the ideological LEFT, the Progressive, the Socialist, the Democrat, SUPPORT for Islamic terrorism and murder against the people of Israel?

Why are there protests in the streets of America’s major municipalities and municipalities around the World advocating for Islam’s butchering of the Israeli people, a hatred for Israel that mirrors their hatred for the United States who supports Israel?

Perhaps it’s a failure of education; perhaps it’s a result of historical revisionism? Truth be told, every ideological difference between the Progressive and the Conservative is SPIRITUAL at its root. Anyone who advocates for the murder of children in or out of the womb; anyone who advocates for unconscionable sexual perversion – gender confusion forced upon children; anyone who advocates for the horrors of Marxism; anyone who hates the Nation of Israel and Jacob’s children and revels in terrorist acts against them; anyone who advocates for the decimation of the American citizen through the horrors of open borders, legalized drugs, a weakened justice system; anyone who advocates for, supports, American terrorist organizations represented by Black Lives Matter; ANTIFA, Black Panthers, White Supremacist Clans, are servants of Satan and they do NOT know our Creator, Elohim.

Jesus said “You will know them by their fruits;” that is, you will know a person by the way they act, the things they support, their lifestyle, their affections (Matthew 7:15-20). The ideological “line in the sand” is distinct and irrefutable as those who LOVE Elohim love the things Elohim cherishes; those who serve the Devil advocate for the works of the Devil. Yes, one can put forth a sundry of logical arguments supporting one side or the other but those arguments are rooted in the SPIRITUAL and they too will be judged.

Why Christians support Israel…

Christians support Israel because our Messiah is Jewish emanating from the Tribe of Judah and our daily lives and our eternity are wholly in His hands. Elohim chose Israel, Judah, to enter the Realm of Time and Elohim poured His heart into Jacob’s children. Israel, Jerusalem, is the Center of the Earth and Elohim’s sovereign choice concerning His eschatological plan for Time and Eternity; therefore, what Elohim loves, Christians love; what Elohim supports, Christians support.
