One of the most unsettling details in the book of Revelation is not the scale of judgment, nor the terror of the plagues, nor even the collapse of the world’s systems.
Wow. I've actually been thinking a long those same lines lately in the context of hell. Thank you for such a well articulated article on the subject. I've often heard preachers or Christian workers say that if a person in hell had the opportunity to go back to the time the Gospel was presented to him, he would repent and be saved. I've always taken a little umbrage at that. The person in hell chose rebellion over repentance his whole earthly life. Repentance is volitional and he was unwilling. He will likely blame God for his suffering for all eternity. I don't believe God's judgment or wrath produces repentance. I believe those people in the tribulation who "would not repent" will shake their fists at God for all eternity.
BTW, have you ever considered that the scariest thing in hell is the wrath of Almighty God?
It is clear, GOD’s grace and patience get (some) to repentance. Not meanness.
I often see well-meaning Christians practice thé opposite.
Check out Ezekiel 18 ànd 20; Romans 2:1-4 (1:29-32); 2 Peter 3:9, 15
Governments are to punish the defiant in hopes they will repent. (US had prisons called penitentiaries for this purpose, and law enforcement with this purpose, originally, to remodel character. Matthew 17b; Romans 13:4
Why have we missed other options by the church, abdicated to government (Matthew 18:15-17a); given up on people so soon? Matthew 5:22
I find it very discouraging. If there is not forgiveness, seeking redemption (yes, maybe with discipline), it is not the true church. 2 Corinthians 2:5-11
Partly it's psychological manipulation and even literal brainwashing through media and academia. 1966 was "anno satana", year one for the cult Kabaal and what they were now able to do to the public at large. Granted the church of satan was/is like preschool for real evil, some of their concepts explained what was happening.
"Lesser magic" is symbolism and psych coercion, "greater" being ritual (e.g. Stupidbowl halftime shows, Gotthard or CERN opening ceremonies, not just behind black robes and doors). They perfected the breaking of psyches (schism) with MK-ULTRA, which was just new satanic ritual abuse (SRA) with range. Now they use satellites, towers and biofields. It's direct and has no range limit. They can torture a target even on a plane.
The 60s had shows like Bewitched, Munster, Addams Family (we needed two?), I Dream of Jeannie (Jinn) and others that are a reflection of what America was becoming from their inspiration. They almost completely removed God from the minds of the public while destroying churches from within
The Freemasonic Kabaal and those from Rev 2:9 and 3:9 did this with the help of corrupt acronym agencies. Like Rev 9:11 it was an inside job.
Most have no idea what we're up against and how far grace extends over it. Just keep bringing people around to Jesus. They'll either see and wake in Jesus or they'll shrug and keep walking in the world with the one who walks up and down IN it (Job 1:7).
So much to say about this, but those words about refusing and shaking a fist at God stands out in Revelation for me too. Only the grace of Jesus can snap us out and then we have to do our own part.
Well its pride like the devil. The devil said he will become like God. This kind of talk or thinking does not bring you to repentance.but know you can not fool God either
Thank you for this message, especially for me these days, I have been listening to all this wicked in our World and I know that time is short! Praying for the lost.
Thank you. I am teaching through Revelation in my small group at my Church on Wednesday nights. Weird. I have read through my Bible up to three times a year for the past thirty years. I have always loved Revelation. This time, the words leaped off the pages. It was different. I felt as though a veil had dropped.
This is pretty heartbreaking to read. It truly helps in understanding the Minnesota situation, but it makes me sad.
Very well said! Concise, honest and direct. Thank you for this post. ❤️✝️🙂
Thank you Linda for reading!
It’s so sad to see the defiance in our own country. We must pray for salvation of souls across our country or things will continue to get worse.

God bless!
I think the scariest thing about hell is eternal separation from God.

Deborah,
Isn't it amazing that some of the most fruitful mission fields are now in prisons?
Amazing grace!
Pray for the work going on there!
Yes, well done!! We’re definitely seeing the insane Lawlessness in MN & elsewhere… pray that they will be able to REPENT 🙏❤️✝️❤️😺
Thank you Dawn. It's sad. I pray that they do.
Gives clarity to the societal rage we’re seeing. Very sad.

Fishers of men. Some get away.

Thanks for this truth
We need to pray the walls that are placed around their hearts (willingly or unwillingly) be knocked down so the love of Jesus can be seen.
Amen!
