2004.03.1.01 Summary Where Will You Spend Eternity? (What Is Required In Order To Qualify To Sit On A High Throne For Eternity?) Created by James3 on 8/17/2019 7:28:57 AM Summary Where Will You Spend Eternity? (What Is Required In Order To Qualify To Sit On A High Throne For Eternity?)
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 or all of eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone. 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. 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 in the place of greatest torment in the lake of fire and brimstone for eternity.
This article seeks to present some data with a view to making the options more readily visible.
It is noted that many of those who "believe" have some vague idea that because they "believe", whatever they "believe", they WILL spend eternity in Heaven. The article presents considerable data that indicates that this is not so.
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 enter 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 Heaven or to seek a high throne, 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 in the lake of fire and brimstone.
