2014.01.75.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? Created by James on 5/8/2019 9:18:13 AM Where will YOU Spend Eternity?
Summary
This article addresses the most important question facing every human being today:
"Where will i spend eternity?"
Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." (KJV)
It IS possible for any one of us to sit on a throne for eternity IF we overcome.
This contrasts with many verses that indicate that all people INCLUDING all who consider themselves to be “believers” will be judged and that “believers” can spend a part of eternity in Hell for their unconfessed sins. Other verses indicate that believers can spend eternity in the Outer Darkness or can be found to be foolish virgins.
On the Day of Judgment the Almighty may also tell believers to depart from Him because they were workers of iniquity and therefore He never knew them and send them to the Outer Darkness, which Father refers to as “the trash heap of Heaven”. Iniquity is lawlessness which is disregard for the commandments.
Revelation 21:8 states “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (KJV)
Since the unbelieving are specifically identified, it is apparent that the rest of Revelation 21:8 relates to believers.
The article presents the Ten Commandments, given to Israel at Mount Sinai, spoken out publicly by the Almighty and written in stone by the Almighty as the fundamental basis of judgment.
It is suggested that most people today, including people who consider themselves to be believers, are transgressing most of the commandments. Many of them through ignorance as a consequence of incorrect teachings and doctrines.
There is a continuum of Judgment outcome available to all human beings which ranges between reigning on a high throne for eternity to being a demon on earth to the Day of Judgment at which point they may be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone to be utterly destroyed.
This article seeks to present some information with a view to making the options more readily visible.
Reference is made to the book, "The Final Quest", by Rick Joyner, which reports that according to the Almighty, in 1995 only 1% of those who had been called to spend eternity in Heaven up to that date would do so unless something changed. More recent statistics indicate the situation has deteriorated considerably.
The article presents many verses from widely accepted texts, primarily the books commonly referred to as “The New Testament” to demonstrate that it is by no means certain that any believer will qualify to hold any significant rank in Heaven. This is supported by reference to passages in “The Final Quest”.
Numerous passages setting out the requirements to enter Heaven and to sit on a throne for eternity are presented. It is shown that this requires a life style that is very different to what most people on earth are living. This life style is also very different to what most people who consider themselves to be believers are living.
Requirements like loving our enemies, turning the other cheek, praying for those who despitefully use us, not judging others, walking in humility, walking in unconditional love and not fighting back, even when we are tormented, humiliated, abused, tortured and viciously put to death, are all demonstrated.
A number of passages reporting visions given by the Almighty in “The Final Quest” give clear evidence that many people who believers esteem have only just made it into Heaven and suggest that many people who believers expect to find in Heaven will not be there.
Various guidelines are given as to how a person who decides to seek a high throne in Heaven, might go about this and some prayer suggestions are offered.
This document is a challenging and sobering presentation of a picture that it seems that not many people today are seriously considering.
The article challenges every person who reads it to reassess their priorities and decide how important it is to them to make a concerted effort to avoid spending eternity as a demon on earth, or cast into the lake of fire and brimstone to be destroyed in a moment of torment and terror or to be relegated to the Outer Darkness, the trash heap of Heaven.
