Life begins with an explosion as the sperm enters the human egg, and life ends with a burst of electrical impulses directed to the brain, enabling it to process information for the space of ten minutes after the person has been declared dead. This is God’s final offer of mercy to the sinner, thereafter the judgment. No second chance, this is the final call to repent. This is mercy of the greatest magnitude from a Creator who loves mankind, and has literally done all to save them from the judgment through his Son, Jesus, the Christ. And when those last ten minutes are up, then comes the judgment, condemnation, sentencing, and eternal separation in the Lake Of Fire for all eternity. You are not going to be given a second chance as many erroneously believe by interpreting scripture to suit their views. You are not going to be reincarnated. You are not going into Nirvana, not into the great void of universal consciousness, but your destiny is the judgment seat of God, where you will be confronted with your life, with every single word and deed you ever did, and you will be held accountable for breaking the law of God. The punishment is eternity in the lake of fire that was reserved for the devil and his fallen angels, but now includes the sinners who refused God’s offer of mercy through Jesus, His Son, and the hypocrites who claimed to love His Son, but refused to obey his commandments. And for those who have never heard of the law or Jesus, but lived the law as imprinted within their hearts, they will be shown mercy. This is all to be read in His word, the Bible.
But for those who had heard, and willingly turned away from this most gracious offer, there will be only the wrath of a holy God to face with overwhelming fear because no man can stand in the presence of a holy God unless he has been sanctified in the blood of his son, Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, the Saviour of all men and women who believed and trusted in him. Those who believed so much that he was able to transform their lives so that they became his servants in truth and obedience unto the end. But for those who peered into the mirror of pretentious faith and went about their ways and acted out their personal views as to how a Christian should be, woe to them for turning aside from the law and prophets! Woe to them for casting the law aside so as to partake in the rebellion! Woe to them for ignoring his warnings! Woe to them for practicing lawlessness and teaching others to do the same! Tribulation upon tribulation for those gainsayers of perverted speech! The fiery judgement awaits them because they trampled on the most holy offer and scorned his righteous commandments and and became self-willed in their delusions of mirrored faith. And yet God, in Hid exceeding great mercy has given man an extra ten minutes to repent. The absolutely last opportunity before the darkness closes in, and death sweeps you away, and salvation is forever out of your reach. But why wait until that very last minute? Why risk all of eternity because you chose to gamble with your souls? Who knows the state of mind of the individual as they realize that their bodies are dead, but they can still process information for a precious few minutes. Will they cry out for mercy or will they trust in themselves and the lies they have been told their entire lives?
Only they, and God knows the answer, but you should never tempt the Lord our God. Repent now while you have the light of life in your eyes, and give your heart, soul, mind and strength to the God and his most Holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ while you still have the chance. Don’t think that life is a gamble, a game, winner takes all, wealth and power, strength and beauty, intellect or education, social standing, for none of these will be credited to you on that final day. The question that God will ask the angel in whose hand is the Book Of Life will be, is their name written within? And your name depends upon your choice, did you accept Jesus and live for Him, or did you reject Him and live for yourself. And God’s answer up,on hearing the yes or no from the angel will be either Enter into your Father’s rest or take him, bound hand and foot to be cast into the outer darkness and to the lake of fire for eternity.
Don’t listen to those who deny that lake of fire! Jeus said that it is very real, so listen to him! Stop trusting in your vain imaginings and the lies of the false teachers and charlatans! Stop breaking the law! Start living to please the Lord Jesus and turn away from being men pleasers. Set your hearts and minds to a sacrificial life in service to the King Of Glory! This world is fading and falling into decay and ruin, and you need to repent while you have this opportunity today! Turn to the Living God and do as He has shown you! His word takes precedent over all the words of men for he is the truth, the life and the way, that is his Son Jesus Christ, you need Him if you want to see life.
Do not put your trust in lying men who will distort the Word of God because they cannot bring themselves into obedience and they refuse to believe what He has told and taught. Therefore, they will turn the truth into a lie and steal your faith and lead you into destruction. If Jesus is Lord then follow Him in truth and obedience. But if you choose rebellion and lies, you have only yourselves to blame.
I remain a brother to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
