YOUR LOVED ONES ARE NOT IN HEAVEN NOW

It's the most comforting thought to believe that our parents, children, grandparents, friends, etc., who have died, are in Heaven. And it's even more assuring to think that they are there now.

Truth be known, that is not the case. Except for the exceptions that the Word gives (Moses, Enoch, Elijah, etc.) we're assured that they are resting in peace in the grave. Their death is referred to a sleep as in the case of Lazarus (see John 11, the whole chapter). The truth is, the Lord is very clear about this subject and gives numerous evidences of this fact.


"For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave, who shall give thee thanks?" (Psalm 6:5)--We have no remembrance of God in the grave nor can we thank him for anything or roll over in our graves if something troubling occurs among the living.

For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6)

So man lieth down and riseth not: til the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of sleep. (Job 10:12)

His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not of them. (Job 10:21)--We won't perceive who visits our grave site, if our spouses have re-married, if our children have accepted the Lord or turned from Him, if a black man became president of the United States or if America, Canada and Mexico ever became one nation.

They praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. (Psalm 115:17)--Would there be true praising in Heaven if they are there and they see us suffering still in this world of sin?

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28,29).

HELL IS NOT BURNING TODAY

This was one of the most liberating truths. The wicked won't burn forever. If the Devil, who is the epitomy of evil will be devoured by fire and consumed, how much moreso those who have lived for 120 years tops?

God is not sadistic. That is not His Character. Why will be burn Hitler for ever and the 30 year old guy who didn't get around to accepting Christ as Savior? God is just and fair. This doctrine of everlasting burning in Hellfire is a false doctrine that does not line up with scripture.

The effects of Hell (when the earth is cleansed by fire and sin, sinners, the Devil and his evil angels are burned up) is what is everlasting. Not the punishment--the effects.

Study this out from God's word. The truth will set you free.

JOHN THE BAPTIST, A PROPHET

And his [John's] father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

Luke 1:67-80
