Is there a Hell ? What is Hell like ? This women was taken to hell and to

heaven.

'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see

visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men

and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will

prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth

below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to

darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and

glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord

will be saved.' - Acts 2:17-21

Into Hell

In March 1976 while I was praying at home, I had a visit from the Lord

Jesus Christ. I had been praying in the Spirit for days when all at once

I felt the very presence of God. His power and His glory filled the

house. A brilliant light illuminated the room where I was praying, and a

sweet and wonderful feeling came over me. Lights flowed in billows,

rolling and folding into one another and rolling over and out of each

other. It was a spectacular sight! And then the voice of the Lord began

to speak to me. He said, "I am Jesus Christ, your Lord, and I wish to

give you a revelation to prepare the Saints for My return and to turn

many to righteousness. The powers of darkness are real and My judgments

are true.

My child, I will take you into hell by My Spirit, and I will show you

many things which I want the world to know. I will appear to you

many times; I will take your spirit out of your body and will actually

take you into hell. I want you to write a book and tell of the visions

and of all the things I reveal to you. You and I will walk through hell

together. Make a record of these things which were and are and are to

come. My words are true, faithful and trustworthy. I Am That I Am, and

there is none beside Me."

"Dear Lord," I cried out, "What do You want me to do?" My whole being

wanted to cry out to Jesus, to acknowledge His presence. The best I can

describe it is to say love came over me. It was the most beautiful,

peaceful, joyful, powerful love I have ever felt. God's praises began to

flow from me. All at once I wanted to give Him my whole life to be used

by Him, to help save people from their sin. I knew, by His Spirit, that

it actually was Jesus, the Son of God, who was there in the room with me. I

cannot find words to express His divine presence. But I know that I know

it was the Lord.

"Behold, My child," Jesus said, "I am going to take you by My Spirit

into hell so that you may be able to make a record of the reality of it,

to tell the whole earth that hell is real, and to bring the lost out of

darkness and into the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

Instantly, my soul was taken out of my body. I went with Jesus up out of

my room and into the sky. I knew all that was going on about me. I saw my

husband and children asleep in our home below. It was as though I had

died and my body was left behind on the bed while my spirit was going

with Jesus up through the top of the house. It seemed as though the whole

roof was rolled back, and I could see my family asleep in their beds.

I felt the touch of Jesus as He said, "Fear not. They will be safe." He

knew my thoughts. I will try to the best of my ability to tell you

step-by-step what I saw and felt. Some of the things I did not

understand. The Lord Jesus told me the meaning of most of them, but some

things He did not tell me.

I knew then, and I know now, that these things were really happening and

only God could have shown them to me. Praise His holy name. People,

believe me, hell is real. I was taken there by the Spirit many

times during the preparation of this report. Soon we were high into the

heavens. I turned and looked at Jesus. He was full of glory and power,

and such peace flowed from Him.

He took my hand and said, "I love you. Fear not, for I am with you."

At that, we began to go even higher into the sky, and now I could see the

earth below. Protruding out of the earth and scattered about in

many places were funnels spinning around to a center point and then

turning back again. These moved high above the earth and looked like a

giant, dirty type of slinky that moved continuously. They were coming up

from all over the earth.

"What are these?" I asked the Lord Jesus as we came near to one.

"These are the gateways to hell," He said. "We will go into hell through

one of them."

Immediately, we entered one of the funnels. Inside, it looked like a

tunnel, spinning around and around and back again like a top. A deep

darkness descended on us, and with the darkness came a smell so horrible

it took my breath away. Along the sides of this tunnel were living forms

embedded in the walls. Dark gray in color, the forms moved and cried out

to us as we passed. I knew without being told that they were evil. The

forms could move but were still attached to the walls. A horrible smell

came from them, and they screeched at us with the most awful cries. I

felt an invisible, evil force moving inside the tunnels.

At times in the darkness, I could make out the forms. A dirty fog covered

most of them. "Lord, what are these?" I asked as I held on tightly to

Jesus' hand.

He said, "These are evil spirits ready to be spewed out on the earth when

Satan gives the orders. "

As we were going down inside the tunnel, the evil forms laughed and

called out to us. They tried to touch us, but could not because of

the power of Jesus. The very air was polluted and dirty, and only the

presence of Jesus kept me from screaming at the sheer horror. Oh, yes, I

had all my senses-I could hear, smell, see, feel and even taste the evil

in this place. If anything, my senses had become more sensitive, and the

odor and filth almost made me sick.

Screams filled the air as we came near the base of the tunnel.Piercing

cries came up the dark tunnel to meet us. Sounds of all sorts filled the

air. I could feel fear, death and sin all around me. The worst odor I

have ever smelled filled the air. It was the smell of decaying flesh, and

it seemed to be coming from every direction. Never on earth had I felt

such evil or heard such cries of despair. Soon I would find that these

were the cries of the dead and that hell was filled with their wails.

I felt a gust of evil wind and a small suction force ahead of us. Lights

like lightening or strobe flashes penetrated the black darkness and threw

gray shadows on the walls. I could barely make out the form of

something in front of me. I recoiled in shock when I realized that it was

a large snake moving along ahead of us. As I continued to look, I saw

those ugly snakes were slithering about everywhere.

Jesus said to me, "We will soon enter the left leg of hell. Ahead you

will see great sorrow, pathetic sadness and indescribable horror.Stay

close to Me, and I will give you strength and protection as we go

through hell.

"The things you are about to see are a warning," He said. "The book you

write will save many souls from hell. What you are seeing is real. Fear

not, for I will be with you."

At long last, the Lord Jesus and I were at the bottom of the tunnel. We

stepped out into hell. I will try to the best of my ability to tell you

what I saw, and I will tell it in the order God gave it to me. Ahead of

us, as far as I could see, were flying objects darting here and there.

Groaning sounds and pitiful cries filled the air. Up ahead I saw a dim

light, and we began walking toward it. The path was a dry, powdery dirt.

We were soon at the entrance to a small dark tunnel. Some things I cannot

put on paper; they were too awful to describe. The fear in hell could be

tasted, and I knew if I had not been with Jesus I would not make it back.

In the writing of this, some of the things I saw I do not understand, but

the Lord knows all things, and He helped me understand most of what I

saw. Let me warn you-don't go to that place. It is a horrid place of

torments, excruciating pain and eternal sorrow.Your soul will always be

alive. The soul lives forever. It is the real you, and your soul will go

to either heaven or hell.

To those of you who think that hell is here on earth-well, you

are right-it is! Hell is in the center of the earth, and there are souls

in torment there night and day. There are no parties in hell. No love. No

compassion. No rest. Only a place of sorrow beyond your belief.

The Left Leg of Hell

A horrible odor filled the air. Jesus said to me, "In the left leg of

hell are many pits. This tunnel branches off into other parts of hell,

but we will spend some time in the left leg first.

"These things you are about to see will always be with you.The world

must know about the reality of hell. Many sinners and even some of

My people do not believe that hell is real. You have been chosen by Me to

reveal these truths to them. Everything I will show you about hell and

all the other things I will show you are true."

Jesus had shown Himself to me in the form of a bright light, brighter

than the sun. The form of a man was in the center of that

light. Sometimes I saw Jesus as a man, but at other times He was in the

form of a spirit.

He spoke again, "Child, when I speak, the Father has spoken.The Father

and I are one. Remember to love above all else and to forgive

one another. Come now, follow Me."

As we walked, evil spirits fled from the presence of the Lord."O God, O

God," I cried. "What is next?"

As I said previously, I had all my senses in hell. All those in hell have

all their senses. Mine were working now in full force. Fear was one very

side, and inexpressible dangers lurked everywhere. Each step I took

was more horrible than the one before. There were doorways about the size

of small windows, opening and shutting very fast at the top of the

tunnel. Screams filled the air as many evil creatures flew by us, up and

out of the gateways of hell. Soon we were at the end of the tunnel. I was

trembling with fright because of the danger and fear around us.

I was so thankful for the protection of Jesus. I thank God for

His almighty power to protect us, even in the pits of hell. Even with

that protecting shield, I kept thinking, Not my will, Father, but Yours

be done. I looked at my body. For the first time I noticed that I was in

a spirit form, and my form was in the shape of myself. I wondered what

was next. Jesus and I stepped from the tunnel onto a path with wide

swaths of land on each side of it. There were pits of fire everywhere as

far as the eye could see. The pits were four feet across and three feet

deep and shaped like a bowl.

Jesus said, "There are many pits like this in the left leg of hell. Come,

I will show you some of them. "

I stood beside Jesus on the path and looked into one of the

pits. Brimstone was embedded in the side of the pit and glowed red like

hot coals of fire. In the center of the pit was a lost soul who had died

and gone to hell. Fire began at the bottom of the pit, swept upward and

clothed the lost soul in flames. In a moment the fire would die down to

embers, then with a rushing sound would sweep back over the tormented

soul in the pit. I looked and saw that the lost soul in the pit was

caged inside a skeleton form. "My Lord," I cried at the sight, "Can't you

let them out?"

How awful was the sight! I thought, This could be me. I said,"Lord, how

sad it is to see and know that a living soul is in there."

I heard a cry from the center of the first pit. I saw a soul in the form

of a skeleton, crying, "Jesus, have mercy!"

"O, Lord!" I said. It was the voice of a woman. I looked at her and

wanted to pull her out of the fire. The sight of her broke my heart.

The skeleton form of a woman with a dirty-grey mist inside was talking to

Jesus. In shock, I listened to her. Decayed flesh hung by shreds from her

bones, and, as it burned, it fell off into the bottom of the pit. Where

her eyes had once been were now only empty sockets. She had no hair.

The fire started at her feet in small flames and grew as it climbed up

and over her body. The woman seemed to be constantly burning, even when

the flames were only embers. From deep down inside her came cries and

groans of despair, "Lord, Lord, I want out of here!"

She kept reaching out to Jesus. I looked at Jesus, and there was great

sorrow on His face. Jesus said to me, "My child, you are here with Me to

let the world know that sin results in death, that hell is real. I

looked at the woman again, and worms were crawling out of the bones of

her skeleton. They were not harmed by the fire. Jesus said, "She knows

and feels those worms inside."

"God, have mercy!" I cried as the fire reached its peak and the horrible

burning started all over again. Great cries and deep sobs shook the form

of this woman-soul. She was lost. There was no way out.

In the next pit was a very small-framed woman who looked to be about

eighty years old. I can't say how I knew her age, but I did. The skin

was removed from her bones by the continual flame, and only the bones

remained with a dirty-mist soul inside. I watched as the fire burned her.

Soon there were only the bones and the worms crawling inside, which the

fire could not burn.

"Lord, how terrible!" I cried. "I don't know if I can go on, for this is

awful beyond belief." As far as my eyes could see, souls were burning in

pits of fire. "My child, this is why you are here," Jesus answered. "You

must know and tell the truth about hell. Heaven is real! Hell is real!

Come, we must go on."

I looked back at the woman. Her cries were so sad. As I watched her, she

put her bony hands together, as if in prayer. I couldn't help crying.I

was in a spirit form, and I was crying. I knew that people in hell felt

all these things, too. Jesus knew my thoughts. "Yes, child," He

said,"they do. When people come here, they have the same feelings and

thoughts as when they were on earth. They remember their families and

friends and all the times they had a chance to repent but refused to do

so. Memory is always with them. If only they had believed the gospel and

repented before it was too late."

I looked at the old woman once again, and this time I noticed that she

had only one leg, and there seemed to be holes drilled in her hip

bones."What are these, Jesus?" I asked.

He said, "Child, while she was on earth, she had cancer and was in much

pain. Surgery was done to save her life. She lay a bitter old woman for

many years. Many of My people came to pray for her and to tell her I

could heal her. She said, 'God did this to me,' and she would not repent

and believe the gospel. She even knew Me once, but in time she came to

hate Me.

"She said she did not need God and did not want Me to heal her. Yet I

pleaded with her, still wanting to help her, wanting to heal and to bless

her. She turned her back on Me and cursed Me. She said she did not

want Me. My spirit pleaded with her. Even after she had turned her back

on Me, I still tried to draw her by My spirit, but she would not listen.

At last she died and came here."

The old woman cried out to Jesus, "Lord Jesus, please forgive me now. I'm

sorry that I didn't repent while I was on earth."

With great sobs she cried out to Jesus, "If only I had repented before it

was too late! Lord, help me out of here. I will serve You. I will be

good. Haven't I suffered enough? Why did I wait until too late? Oh,

why did I wait until Your Spirit quit striving with me?"

Jesus said to her, "You had chance after chance to repent and serve Me."

Sadness was written all over Jesus' face as we walked away. As I watched

the old woman cry, I asked, "Lord, what is next?"

I could feel fear all around. Sorrow, cries of pain and an atmosphere of

death were everywhere. Jesus and I walked in grief and pity to the next

pit. Only by His strength could I go on. For a great distance I

could still hear the old woman's cries of repentance and pleading for

forgiveness. If only there was something I could do to help her, I

thought. Sinner, please don't wait until God's Spirit quits striving with

you.

"Dear Lord," I cried, "the torment is too real. When a soul comes

here, there is no hope, no life, no love. Hell is too real." No way out,

I thought. She must burn forever in these flames.

"Time is running out," Jesus said. "We will come back tomorrow."

Friend, if you are living in sin, please repent. If you have been born

again and have turned your back on God, repent and turn back to Him now.

Live good and stand for truth. Wake up before it is too late, and you can

spend forever with the Lord in heaven. Jesus spoke again, "Hell has a

body (like a human form) lying on her back in the center of the earth.

Hell is shaped like a human body-very large and with many chambers of

torment.

"Remember to tell the people of earth that hell is real. Millions of lost

souls are here, and more are coming every day. On the Great Judgment Day,

death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire; that will be the

second death."

The Right Leg of Hell

I had not been able to sleep or eat since I was in hell the night before.

Each day I relived hell. When I closed my eyes, all I could see was hell.

My ears could not shut out the cries of the damned. Just like a

television program, I relived all the things I had witnessed in hell over

and over. Each night I was in hell, and each day I labored to find just

the right words to bring this frightful thing to all the world.

Jesus appeared to me again and said, "Tonight we are going into the right

leg of hell, My child. Don't be frightened, for I love you and I am with

you. "

The face of the Lord was sorrowful, and His eyes were filled with great

tenderness and deep love. Though those in hell were forever lost, I knew

that He still loved them and would for all eternity.

"My child," He said, "God, our Father, gave each one of us a will so

that we could choose whether we would serve Him or Satan. You see, God

did not make hell for His people. Satan deceives many into following him,

but hell was made for Satan and his angels. It is not My desire, nor that

of My Father, that anyone should perish."

Tears of compassion ran down Jesus' cheeks.

He began to speak again, "Remember My words in the days ahead as I show

you hell. I have all power in heaven and earth.' Now, at times it will

seem to you that I have left you, but I have not. Also, at times we will

be seen by the evil forces and lost souls, while at other times we will

not be. No matter where we go, be at peace and fear not to follow Me."

We went on together. I followed closely behind Him crying. For days I had

been crying, and I could not shake off the very presence of hell which

was ever before me. I cried mostly inside. My spirit was very sad.

Jesus and I walked on down the pathway until we came to another pit.

Cries of pain, unforgettably sorrowful sounds, were everywhere. My Lord,

what is next? I thought. We walked directly past some of the evil beings,

which didn't seem to see us, and stopped at another pit of fire and

brimstone. In this next pit was a large-framed man.I heard him preaching

the gospel. I looked in amazement to Jesus for an answer, for He always

knew my thoughts. He said, "While he was on earth, this man was a

preacher of the gospel. At one time he spoke the truth and served me."

I wondered what this man was doing in hell. He was about six feet tall,

and his skeleton was a dirty, grayish color, like a tombstone. Parts of

his clothing still hung on him. I wondered why the flames had left these

torn and tattered clothes and had not burned them up. Burning flesh was

hanging from him, and his skull seemed to be in flames. A terrible odor

came from him.

I watched the man spread his hands as if he were holding a book and begin

to read Scriptures from the make-believe book. Again, I remembered what

Jesus had said:"You have all your senses in hell, and they are a lot

stronger here."

The man read Scripture after Scripture, and I thought it was good. Jesus

said to the man with great love in His voice, "Peace, be still."

Immediately, the man stopped talking and turned slowly to look at Jesus.

I saw the man's soul inside this skeletal form. He said to the Lord,

"Lord, now I will preach the truth to all the people. Now, Lord, I'm

ready to go and tell others about this place. I know that while I was on

earth, I didn't believe there was a hell, nor did I believe You were

coming again. It was what people wanted to hear, and I compromised the

truth to the people in my Church."I know I didn't like anyone who was

different in race or color of skin, and I caused many to fall away from

You.

I made my own rules about heaven and right and wrong. I know that I led

many astray, and I caused many to stumble over Your Holy Word, and I took

money from the poor. But, Lord, let me out, and I will do right. I won't

take money from the Church anymore. I have repented already. I will love

people of every race and color."

Jesus said, "You not only distorted and misrepresented the Holy Word of

God, but you lied about your not knowing the truth. The pleasures of life

were more important to you than truth. I visited you Myself and tried to

turn you around, but you would not listen. You went on your own way, and

evil was your lord. You knew the truth, but you would not repent or turn

back to Me. I was there all the time. I waited for you. I wanted you to

repent, but you did not. And now the judgment has been set." Pity was on

the face of Jesus. I knew that if the man had listened to the Savior's

call, he would not be here now. O people, please listen.

Jesus spoke to the backslider again, "You should have told the truth, and

you would have turned many to righteousness with God's Word, which says

that all unbelievers will have their part in the lake that burns with

fire and brimstone.You knew the way of the cross. You knew the way of

righteousness. You knew to speak the truth. But Satan filled your heart

with lies, and you went into sin.You should have repented with

sincerity, not halfway. My Word is true. It does not lie. And now it is

too late, too late." At that, the man shook his fist at Jesus and cursed

Him.

With sorrow, Jesus and I walked on to the next pit. The backslidden

preacher was still cursing and angry at Jesus. As we walked past the pits

of fire, the hands of the lost reached out to Jesus, and in pleading

voices they called out to Him for mercy. Their bony hands and arms were

gray-black from the burning-no live flesh or blood, no organs, only death

and dying. Inside myself I was crying, O earth, repent. If you don't,

you'll come here. Stop before it is too late.

Jesus and I walked on through the pits. I wanted to pull each person I

passed from the fire and rush them to the feet of Jesus. I wept

much inside. I thought to myself, I never want my children to come here.

At last,Jesus turned to me and said quietly, "My child, we will go

to your home now.Tomorrow night we shall return to this part of

hell."

Back at my home I cried and cried. During the day I relived hell and the

horror of all those people there. I told everyone I met during the

day about hell. I told them that the pain of hell is beyond belief.

Those of you who read this book, please, I beg of you, repent of your

sins. Call on Jesus and ask Him to save you. Call on Him today. Do not

wait until tomorrow.Tomorrow may not come. Time is quickly running out.

Fall on your knees and be cleansed from your sins.

Be good to each other. For Jesus' sake, be kind and forgiving to one

another. If you are angry with someone, forgive him. No anger is worth

going to hell for. Be forgiving as Christ forgives us of our sins. Jesus

is able to keep us if we have a repentant heart and will let His blood

cleanse us from all sin. Love your children, and love your neighbor as

yourself.

The Lord of the churches says, "Repent and be saved!

More Pits

The next night Jesus and I went again Into the right leg of hell.I saw

as before the love Jesus had for the souls that are lost in hell. And

I felt His love for me and for all those who were on earth.

"Child," He said to me, "it is not the Father's will that anyone perish.

Satan deceives many, and they follow him. But God is forgiving. He is a

God of love. If these had truly come unto the Father and repented, He

would have forgiven them." Great tenderness covered Jesus' face as He

spoke.

Again we walked among the flaming pits and passed by more peoplein the

torments I described earlier. My Lord, my Lord, such horrors! I

thought.On and on we walked past many, many souls burning in hell. All

along the pathway burning hands reached out to Jesus. There were only

bones where the fleshshould have been-a grayish mass with burning and

decayed flesh hanging in shreds. Inside each frame of their skeleton

form was a dirty-gray mist-soul caught inside a dry skeleton forever. I

could tell by their cries that they felt the fire, the worms, the pain,

the hopelessness. And their cries filled my soul with a grief so great I

cannot describe it. If only they had listened, I thought,they would not

be here.

I knew that the lost in hell had all their senses. They remembered all

that was ever told them. They knew there was no way out of the flames

and that they were lost forever. Yet, without hope, they still hoped as

they cried out to Jesus for mercy. We stopped at the next pit. It was

exactly like all the others. Inside it was the form of a woman, which I

knew by her voice. She cried out to Jesus for deliverance from the

flames. Jesus looked on the woman with love and said, "While you were on

earth, I called you to come to ,I Me. Ipleaded with you to get your

heart right with I Me before it was too late. I visitedyou many times j

in the midnight hour to tell you of My love. I wooed! you,loved you and

drew you to Me by My Spirit.

"Yes Lord,' you said, 'I will follow You,' With your lips yousaid you

loved Me, but your heart did not mean it. I knew where your heart was.I

often sent my messengers to you to tell you to repent of your sins and

come to Me, but you would not hear Me. I wanted to use you to minister to

others, to help others to find Me. But you wanted the world and not Me. I

called you, but you would not hear Me, nor would you repent of your

sins."

The woman said to Jesus, "You remember, Lord, how I went to church and

was a good woman. I joined the church. I was a member of Your church. I

knew Your call was on my life. I knew I had to obey that call at

all costs, and I did."

Jesus said, "Woman, you are still full of lies and sin. I called you, but

you would not hear Me! True, you were a member of a church, but being a

church member did not get you to heaven. Your sins were many, and you did

not repent. You caused others to stumble at My Word. You would not

forgive others when they hurt you. You pretended to love and serve Me

when you were with Christians, but when you were away from Christians,

you lied, cheated and stole. You gave heed to seducing spirits and

enjoyed your double life. You knew the straight and narrow way."

"And,"Jesus said, "you also had a double tongue. You talked about your

brothers and sisters in Christ. You judged them and thought you were

holier than they,when there was gross sin in your heart. This I know,

you would not listen to My sweet Spirit of compassion. You judged the

outside of a person, without regard to the fact that many were children

in the faith. You were very hard.

"Yes, you said you loved Me with your lips, but your heart was far from

Me. You knew the ways of the Lord and you understood. You played with

God, and God knows all things. If you had sincerely served God, you would

not be here today. You cannot serve Satan and God at the same time."

Jesus turned to me and said, "Many in the last days will depart from the

faith,giving heed to seducing spirits and will serve sin. Come out from

among them,and be separate. Walk not in the way with them." As we walked

away, the woman began to curse and swear at Jesus. She screamed and cried

with rage. We walked on. I was so weak in body.

TheTunnel of Fear

I tried to remember the preaching I had heard about hell. But never had I

heard about such dreadful things as the Lord had shown me here. Hell was

infinitely worse than anyone could think or imagine. It hurt me so to

know that the souls that are now in torment in hell will be there for

eternity. There is no way out.

I am determined that I will do everything in my power to save souls from

these honors. I must preach the gospel to everyone I meet, for hell is a

frightfulplace, and this is a true report.

Do you realize what I am saying? If sinners do not repent and believe the

gospel,they will surely end up here.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and call on Him to save you from sin.

Read chapters 3and 14 of the Gospel of John. And please read this book

from cover to cover so you can understand more about hell and the

hereafter. As you read, pray that Jesus will come into your heart and

wash away your sins before it is too late.

I thought of how pride in all of us at times makes us unwilling to admit

mistakes and ask for forgiveness. We refuse to repent and humble

ourselves, and we go on as if we alone were ever right. But listen, soul,

hell is real. Please do not go to that place. Then Jesus showed me a

giant clock, stretched out across the whole world. And I heard it

ticking. The hour hand was nearing the twelve o'clock position, and the

minute hand raced around until it stopped at three minutes before twelve.

Stealthily the minute hand moved toward the hour. As it moved, the

ticking became louder and louder until it seemed to fill the whole earth.

God spoke like a trumpet, and His voice sounded like many waters. "Listen

and hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches," He said. "Be

ready,for at a time you think not, I will come again. I hear the clock

striking. It is twelve o'clock. The Bridegroom has come for His bride."

Are you ready for Christ's coming, my friend? Or will you be like those

who say,"Not today, Lord?" Will you call upon Him and be saved? Will you

give your heart to Him today? Remember, Jesus can and will save you from

all evil if you call on Him today, and repent. Pray for your family and

your loved ones that they will come to Christ before it is too late.

Listen as Jesus says,"I will protect you from evil. I will keep you in

all your ways. I will save you. I will save your loved ones. Call upon Me

today and live. "

With many tears, I pray that all of you who read this book will realize

the truth before it is too late. Hell is for eternity. I am trying to the

best of my ability to reveal all I saw and heard. I know these things are

true. As you read the remainder of this book, I pray that you will repent

and take Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. I heard the Lord say, "It

is time to go. We shall return again tomorrow."

Visions of Heaven

Some of the following visions were given to me before Jesus took me into

hell. Some of them came near the end of my journey through hell.

Similarity to God

I received this heavenly vision while in deep prayer, meditation and

worship. The glory of the Lord descended upon the place where I was

praying. Great billows of fire, bright lights and majestic power came

before my eyes. In the center of the fire and the lights was the throne

of God. On the throne was a similarity of God. Joy, peace and love flowed

from God Almighty. The air around the throne was filled with baby

cherubim, singing and kissing the Lord upon His face, His hands and His

feet. The song they sang was "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty."

The cherubim had tongues of fire sitting on their heads and on the tips

of each tiny wing. The motion of their wings seemed synchronized with the

movement of the power and glory of the Lord. A cherub flew to me and

touched my eyes.

Golden Mountains

In a vision I looked far out over the earth. I could see that for many

miles the land was thirsty for rain. The ground was cracked, dry

and barren. There were no trees or vegetation of any kind to be seen.

Then I was allowed to see beyond the dry land, all the way to heaven.

There, side by side and touching at their bases, were two giant

mountains. I do not know their height, but they were very, very high. I

drew closer to the mountains and discovered that they were made of solid

gold-gold so pure it was transparent.

Through and beyond the mountains I saw a brilliant white light, and the

light expanded to fill the universe. I felt in my heart that this was the

base upon which heaven sits. Men fight over a small gold ring, but God

owns all the gold.

The Building of a Mansion

While at prayer I received this vision. I saw angels reading the record

of the works we do here on earth. Some of the angels had wings, while

some did not. Some were big, and some were little, but all their faces

were different. Like the people here on earth, the angels could be

identified by their facial features. I saw the angels busily cutting

extremely large diamonds and placing them in the foundations of beautiful

mansions. The diamonds were a foot thick and two feet long and

very beautiful. Each time a soul is won for God, a diamond is added to

the soul winner's mansion. No labor is in vain when it is done for God.

Gates of Heaven At another time when I was in prayer, I saw this heavenly

vision. I was in the spirit and an angel came to me and took me into the

heavens. Again there were magnificent scenes of billowing light and

dazzling glory such as I had seen behind the solid gold mountains. It was

awe-inspiring to behold the power of God displayed. As the angel and I

approached two giant gates in a huge wall,we saw two exceptionally large

angels with swords. They were about fifty feet tall, and their hair was

spun gold. The gates were so high I could not see the tops of them. They

were the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. They

were handcarved, with intricate folds, drapes, layers and carvings, and

were studded with pearls, diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other gems.

Everything on the gates was in perfect balance, and the gates opened

outward. An angel with a book in his hand came out from behind the gates.

After checking the book, the angel nodded, confirming that I could enter.

Reader, you cannot get into heaven if your name is not in the Lamb's Book

of Life.

The File Room

In a vision, an angel took me to heaven and showed me a very large room

with walls of solid gold. Alphabetical letters were engraved here and

there on the walls.The scene was much like a huge library, but the books

were embedded into thewall instead of being shelved.

Angels in long robes were taking books out of the walls and studying them

closely.There seemed to be a rigid order in what they did. I noticed

that the books had thick gold covers and some of the pages were red. The

books were very beautiful.The angel with me said these books were a

record of the lives of every person who has ever been born on earth. I

was told there were more rooms elsewhere with even more records. From

time to time the archangels brought the records before God for His

approval or disapproval. The books contained prayer requests, prophecies,

attitudes, growth in the Lord, souls led to Christ, the fruit of the

Spirit and much more. Everything we do on earth is recorded in one of the

books by the angels. Every so often an angel would take a book down

and wash the pages with a soft cloth. The washed pages turned red.

A Heavenly Ladder

The Spirit of the Lord brought me the following vision. I saw a large

spiritual ladder which descended from heaven to earth. On one side of the

ladder angelswere coming down to the earth, while on the other side they

were going up. The angels on the ladder had no wings, but every angel had

a book with a name written on the front cover. Some of the angels seemed

to be giving directions and answering questions posed to them by the

other angels. Once the directions were received and their questions

answered, they disappeared. I also saw otherladders in other parts of

the earth. Angels were in constant motion, ascending and descending. The

angels moved with boldness and authority, since they were messengers with

orders from God.

Scriptures about Hell

Psalm 9:17

The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget

God.

Proverbs 15:11

Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; So how much more the hearts of

the sons of men.

Isaiah 14:9

" Hell from beneath is excited about you, To meet you at your coming;

It stirs up the dead for you, All the chief ones of the earth; It has

raised up from their thrones All the kings of the nations.

Matt 5:29,30

If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you;

for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than

for your whole body to be cast into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from

you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish,

than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Matt 23:33

Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

Mark 9:42-44

"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to

stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his

neck, and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin,

cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than

having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be

quenched— where

`Their worm does not die

And the fire is not quenched.'

2 Peter 2:4

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to

hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for

judgment;

Luke 16:19-26

"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine

linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar

named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be

fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover

the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and

was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died

and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and

saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

"Then he cried and said, `Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and

send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my

tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said,

`Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things,

and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are

tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf

fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can

those from there pass to us.'

Rev 20:13-15

The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up

the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to

his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is

the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was

cast into the lake of fire.

So much for God being forgiving and a God of love...

Kit, I have read several wonderful books on this topic. I think the best one was "The Land Unknown: Hell's Dominion" (available on Amazon) by a man who had been born again as a child but grew up absolutely hating and mocking Christians. There was another book, I forget the title. Also, John Bunyan who wrote Pilgrim's Progress had a vision of Hell - this was back in the 1600s I believe. I later read an account by a nun in the 19th century, but it was Bunyan's vision plagerized (no internet back then - she didn't think she'd get caught).

The thing I found interesting about these separate, totally unrelated visions, was that they all seemed to mesh. Centuries apart, they all saw basically the same thing. I do believe in these times, God does give dreams and visions to people for those who wish to learn.

I also know, people have jumped on the bandwagon. Some are true, some are imagination. But I do think God is trying to tell people, life and creation is not always going to go on as it is.

Once I realized the whole Bible was a book of prophecy, some things things fell into place for me. What is the theme? There are basically three themes.

1. Mankind is a fallen race that God wishes to restore and to dwell with them eternally;

2. In order to do this, he will send a redeemer (who is the subject of the prophecy); and

3. The Messiah's message is a "New Creation" coming. Literally a new Heaven and New earth.

The laws of physics and things as we know it will not apply. It will be a new creation - one we cannot imagine.

The Redeemer, the subject of the prophecy has one message: There is a Kingdom coming. Believe in me and enter in and live eternally.

That's it. Its simple. That was Christ's message.

I believe the new coming creation involves new dimensions.

We read in Rev., that after all rebellion and sin is finally put down and the new Heaven and Earth are made, that several things "survive" so to speak, and enter into the new creation: Angels; those who believed the Messiah who is the Christ, and the "Lake of Fire."

The Lake of Fire and its inhabitants is a place, in another dimension which is "outside" the City (Rev. 22:15) and new creation wherein dwells righteousness.

JJ, I do not believe it is unloving. I think people, who hate God, who want nothing to do with him, who have rejected his offer of eternal life - there are people who have demonstrated their preference for anything other than eternal fellowship with God and with all who love light. For them, the experience of forced fellowship with God for an eternity would be less tolerable than hell.

These individuals do not want to be in God's presence and would find heaven and his presence repugnant. Thus, to be fair, God cannot morally command them to believe and dwell with him. It would be "unfair." It would be a gross violation of your free will.

I believe the Lake of Fire (whatever that means - I think it symbolizes something we can't imagine) is a place where people and demons get what they want above all else: Freedom. Yes Freedom.

In that dimension, they get freedom from the Will and Rule of God and freedom from the restraints of conscience and the voice of the Holy Spirit. God yields to the desires of his committed "rebels" by withdrawing forever the influence of His Spirit from their beings.

An individual who knowingly refused to worship God in this life will never change his mind. The price for entrance into the new creation - worship of God - is a price too high to pay.

As Hebrews says: "No sacrifice for sins is left" for those who knowingly discard God's sacred gift.

As far as "torment" goes - the greek word can also mean an immobilization, a distraction, a restraint. I.e., you're thrown in prison. You're a nice guy. There are 8 men who would love to do things to you. At this point, for your safety, the most "loving" thing the guards could do is restrain them, maybe a leg iron so you can sleep at night instead of having to stay awake all night.

God says, at the great white throne judgment men will be judged by their works. Many are violent people, many are just average Joes who wanted nothing to do with God.

God, in his love and mercy has put just enough "torment" or distraction or restraints to keep in check the horrors that could happen in a place where there is no God, love, holy spirit or conscience.

I think the Comforter that was sent into the world, God's Spirit today, blunts the impact of sin and evil in this world (we can't see the spiritual things going on in the dimension of the heavenly), and thus, we tend underestimate evil and its horror and minimize what Christ took on himself on the cross.

But, each one of us does get to choose where we would like to spend eternity. The choice is ours.

Those who "opt out" of redemption and eternity with God and Christ may not like being restrained in another dimension - but they will always be eternally proud of their rebellion against God - their minds will never change.

So, I think its fair.

My question would be: Why, would someone who dislikes God and cannot worship him - even want to spend eternity with him?

It would be like forcing a committed vegetarian to eat meat - they would be repulsed.

Interesting topic Kit.

Dear Sunesis,

Thanks. Your words reflect my sentiments, on the matter. I must read those books you mentioned,thanks. I have long felt that the justice of God would give people what they longed for -- Separation from God and His ways for those that want that, and for the Lord to be close as our breath for those who yearn for that.

Truly the rain on the just and the unjust, the protection in society from wanton evil by social constrains as well as laws and godly placed policemen, social workers, ministers, businesses that give people ways of making a living and contributing to society -- so many people who work to make the world a more godly place and to help others -- as such a place has been Greasespot Cafe --These are all reminders that God loves the world and the people in it and the animals, the trees, the flowers, all of it was created from love. Surely those demons must hate being so constantly reminded of God and His gracious kindness.

There was an "It's supernatural" segment I was watching today that included a man's descent into hell, and although the description of people were being tortured there, the demons didn't seem out of place or distraught at all. {I just noticed that when I was writing this response.)

Thanks, again, for your words.

Kit

Thanks for your kind words too Kit. I had debated for awhile if I would answer, as it seems most of the Christians have departed GS for awhile now - or as a poster today said in the Open forum - doctrinal has "lost its fire." There are reasons too for that I believe.

But, I love discussing the Bible.

I think, most people in the western world, when it comes to the topic of "hell" immediately think of this place of horrid torture. These thoughts and visions all basically go back to one man - Dante - and his book: Dante's Inferno written in the 1400s I believe. I have read his book, The Inferno, and he truly did have an amazing imagination of what hell would be like. But, it was just his imagination - and yet, people think its true. Dante's vision and tortures people experienced in the differing "circles" of hell, is the dominant theme of "hell" today in most people's minds.

Even the word "hell" is something that came along later. The Bible talks about the grave, sheol, the pit, etc.

I think, at times, God give people glimpses of heaven - and hell. We hear of many Near Death Experiences (NDEs) - so many that its a common thing now - people almost die, have a vision, go to another place, dimension, experience peace, love, etc. But what you rarely hear about, and this does happen quite frequently, are the people who have NDEs but go to the wrong place - LOL! Whoa! Surprise!! One doctor talked about a patient who was having a heart attack. The man would go under, they'd bring him back and he would beg him not to let him go back there - save me. Each time he was brought back, the man begged. The man did live and became a devout Christian.

There's a link I will find for you, that I ran across a few years ago. It was a Pastor Shaw, who in the late 1800s, had people send him "deathbed" stories because he wanted to find out if there is a difference between believers and unbelievers when they died. This was when people died at home surrounded by friends and family on their "deathbed" at home, not like today. Well, the Christian accounts, after a while were pretty much the same, but - it was amazing, because when the ones who did not believe were on their deathbed, people would say, well, its not too late - you can still be saved. Every single one of them said, yes, it is - it is too late! and they then told the time and place where they knew they had to make a decision - the Holy Spirit tugging on their heart - and when they had rejected him. Every single one, looking back, knew exactly when they had to make that choice. It was fascinating. Every single one knew the decision they had made, and they all took full responsibility for their choice. One young woman said she just ignored it until the call finally went away after a few weeks. Others were angry because their friends said, don't worry, you can convert on your deathbed, and they realized - it was too late, they couldn't believe. There were about 100 accounts and the stories were fascinating.

I guess, to me, the interesting part after reading these accounts, was that there seems to be a threshhold - a line - and when they crossed it - there was no turning back. When Christ knocks on our hearts - some open the door, some close it. There literally comes a time, when God gives a person up (Romans) to do what they really want to do, without God's interference. The threshhold was crossed, and they were glad of it - glad to be free from that annoying whisper of the Holy Spirit.

I really do believe that Christ knocks so many times, but there comes a point, where the Holy Spirit departs and there will not be another chance. The mind has been made up. Nothing will change it. He cannot overide one's free will.

I asked the hospice lady, the same question when my father was dying a few years ago - she counseled dying people in matters of faith. I asked her the same question - did she see a difference? Without hesitation, she said, "oh yes." We talked for awhile. But, no matter if one believes or does not - we do not know, we cannot judge - only God knows the heart of an individual.

I had a dear next-door-neighbor friend for 15 years who adamantly would not discuss "religion" but he was a good-acting man. And a couple of weeks before he was going to die he told me how he had gone to confirmation classes with his friend when he was a child and been confirmed in Catholic faith, and then once when I visited him in the hospital he let me pray for him. 15 years it took, but indeed he did make it into heaven. It was so awesome to see the Lord get his heart and life. I look forward to seeing him in heaven.

[Thomas Loy Bumgarner]

some have theorized that "black holes" in outer space are portals to hell since they are burned out suns/stars that suck up energy and matter into it which still has heat that would burn and crush your flesh if you tried to enter it.
