Summary: You do not end up as mere food for worms and fertilizer for flowers in a forgotten grave. You will be in one of two places after you take your last breath, and you will face the Sovereign LORD, either as Savior or Judge. Where do you stand on that fact?

The Holy Bible affirms that there are ONLY two places where your soul can go after death. Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be tormented throughout eternity. You can forget about any hope of reincarnation. Purgatory does not exist. Nirvana does not exist. There is no carnal idea of "paradise" with submissive virgins at your beck and call, and no mere end to life as you see it in a grave pushing up daisies until the world quits revolving billions of years from now. The guru or shaman who taught you that you will have "spirit guides" to usher you into the next "higher plane of consciousness" gave you pretty words and a boost to your ego, but nothing else. You are going to come to the end of your life through some means and at a time you may not expect. The question is whether or not you are prepared when the time comes.

Whether you like it or not, or you find it "offensive", "narrow minded", "Intolerant", the fact is that the Sovereign LORD, Creator and Sustainer of all life and design, has provided only ONE way by which you can be given eternal life, peace, and redemption from your sin and rebellion against Him, and that is through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, period. it does not matter what the smiling Colgate Boys behind their TV pulpit or stage tell you. All your "good thoughts", "possibility thinking", "best life", "power of positivity" or the idea that you are "blessed and highly favored", or a "champion" flies out the window when hit with the biblical reality of just who you are in God's sight. You will NEVER in your own strength or ability ever be able to make yourself right or acceptable towards Him. Redemption and salvation are of the LORD alone and is done so on HIS terms (Psalm 27:1, 37:39, 62:2; Isaiah 12:2, 25:9, 45:22, 52:13-53:12; John 10:9, 11:25, 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 1:18-32, 3:10-18, 5:6-11, 6:23, 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 5:11).You can embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior right now or reject His offer of salvation and go your own way.

I am bound as a minister of the Gospel by the decree of God and His Word to warn you of what you will face at the end of your life should you continue to turn down His gift of mercy and grace. Friend, you will wind up in hell, and I will not apologize for saying so, or tell you something else just to make you feel better. You will be in a horrid place of eternal fire and punishment for your wickedness and rebellion against God (Matt.25:41, 46). Hell is also described by the Lord Jesus as a place of "outer darkness" (Matt,8:1) and the Lake of Fire (Rev.19:20). If you end up in hell, you are there for good, but as an unwanted guest. Hell was originally designed by God to be a place of punishment and wrath against the devil and his angels for their rebellion against God at the start of history (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:11-15). Your foolish and irresponsible decision will put you there with them because you and the majority of humanity who thought the same thing all rejected the free offer of salvation through Jesus Christ (Matt.10:15; Romans 2:8-9; Revelation 21:9). Do you want to change your mind now?

If you persist in your unbelief, I must tell you what to expect in the near future according to Bible prophecy and what you will face. By the way, you can avoid what is to come if you will surrender your life to Jesus Christ NOW. Yet, you and far too many people who may come across this plea will read it and either to mock or ignore it. One day, not too far in the future (perhaps today), the Lord Jesus is going to appear in the clouds, announced by the trumpet of an archangel. At that moment, the dead in Christ will rise from their graves, be given new incorruptible bodies, be united with their soul, and meet in the LORD in the air along with all true Christians who are alive at the time, to be with Him always. This is the event known as the "Rapture" of the church (John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:10). If you have given your life to Christ before this happens, you will depart this world with your brethren in Christ. If not, you are going to be left behind to endure the judgment and wrath of God, and the horror of unbridled evil referred to in Scripture as the "Tribulation" (Revelation, Chas.6-18).

You will witness the arrival of an individual on the international scene and his associate who will both appear to bring order and peace to the world after the chaos that will occur after the Rapture. It will take some time for this to go into effect, and this man will obtain the approval of other leaders to form a global government and universal currency, and a unified religious system that will satisfy everyone (Daniel 9:27; 2 Thess. 2:3; 1 John 2:18, 4:3; 2 John 1:7; Rev. 6:1-2, 13:1-10, 16-18, 19:19-20). He will first urge and then mandate that everyone take a mark on either their head or right hand to show allegiance and devotion to him. Anyone refusing will be considered an enemy of the state, hunted down, and put to death. You have a choice. Either you place your faith in Christ, face death and receive eternal life, or take the mark and condemn yourself to hell (Rev. 14:9-11). There is no turning back regardless of what decision you make at that time. The recipients of this "Mark of the Beast" will undergo severe judgment, physical agony, and attacks from demons, yet will blaspheme and blame God for their misery.

There will be an immense number of people who will turn to Christ for salvation at this time (Rev. 7:5-17, 11:1-4, 14:6-7). The Spirit of God will be on 144,000 Jewish men from each tribe of Israel (except that of Dan) to preach the gospel worldwide, along with the work of an angel, and two witnesses in Jerusalem who will demonstrate the power of God to an unbelieving world. Many "tribulation saints" will be martyred, and you might be one of them. The Antichrist (the man who seemed to bring order) and his associate the False Prophet will unmercifully and continually persecute both Jews and Christians, desiring that they all be killed. When all looks hopeless, the Lord Jesus will return in triumph and glory to rescue His people and destroy His enemies. He will cast the Antichrist and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire alive, bind Satan and cast him into a bottomless pit, then rule and reign from Jerusalem in a renewed world. We will rule with Him for a thousand years (Isaiah 11:1-9; Matt. 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 21:27; Acts 1:11; 2 Peter 3:10; Rev. 19:11-21, 20:4-6). Praise God if you are one of the saved in Christ now. We are heirs with Him in the coming eternal kingdom.

However, if you have decided to walk away from Jesus and His offer of mercy, then the following events will seal your eternal fate: The devil will be bound during the millennial reign of Christ (Rev. 20:1-3) but then briefly released to lead one final, futile rebellion against God which will end as soon as it begins (Rev. 20:7-10). Those who were born and chose to reject Christ during this time will join in the rebellion and immediately face eternal destruction along with every unsaved person who ever lived, great or small. You are going to be in this group and face the Lord Jesus Christ as the Final Judge of history and humanity. There will be no defense attorneys, no plea bargains, no place to hide, or opportunities to make amends. This judgment will determine the degree of eternal punishment you will face, and there will be no retrial or dismissal due to some technicality. Here are the groups of the damned with whom you will accompany to the Lake of Fire:

1) There will be those who were openly antagonistic towards God and were rebellious enemies of the Gospel who cursed Christ during their lifetime (Rev. 21:8).

2) There will be those who were apathetic towards the things of God, allowing the message of the Gospel to fall on their deaf ears and were more concerned with the affairs of the world and showing no interest in spiritual truths (Luke 14:18; Acts 24:25; Hebrews 2:3).

3) There will be the amoral, not caring one way or another about the issues of right and wrong and were focused on themselves over the welfare of others (Matt. 24:12).

4) The perverse will be there, such as the degenerates who peddled pornography, sex trafficking, child abuse, pedophilia, and the attempts to hide it from the public, along with anyone who practiced perverse lifestyles that were in direct violation of God's laws (Romans 1:26-28; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

5) The "religious" people will be there. They were the ones who faithfully attended worship services, ministers, elders, people of high influence in their communities, or those of other religious beliefs apart from Christianity. None of these people had an authentic faith in Jesus Christ and had been false converts who had paid lip service to the LORD but did not live a life dedicated to the LORD (Matt. 7:21-23; Mark 7:6; Luke 6:46; Titus 1:16).

Everyone will be shown their works as listed in God's records, words, deeds, and all. Death and hades will no longer be needed and are both cast into the Lake of Fire, along with the devil and his demons for eternity. You will be judged and found guilty, along with the others, and be thrown into the Lake of Fire to suffer forever. You will have seen Jesus' face for the last time and will feel the wrath of God forever. The eternity of misery and torment will never see a reprieve or time of rest, and you will remember that you could have avoided this if you had only turned to Christ for salvation while you were still in this world. It does not have to be this way for you nor anyone who reads this message. Repent of your sins, turn away from your rebellious behavior and come to Christ today for salvation, mercy, grace, and peace NOW (2 Cor. 6:2). There is no guarantee that you will be here tomorrow. Do not put this off or ignore it, please. Your eternal future rests on what you do with Jesus today.
