Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 16

.

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 31:

“Babylonian Hell”

To read Part 1, click here… “September 8th (Eternal Torment?)”

.

The ancient Babylonian/pagan cultures had some traditional beliefs and celebrations which have found their way into the Christian churches…

.

…Christmas, Easter, the Trinity, and many other traditions and false teachings which the world, and the worldly church still largely embrace.

.

**Alexander Hislop’s much-maligned book, “The Two Babylons”, gives an in-depth account of many of the various similarities between Babylon and the Christian Church.**

WHAT IS THE TRUE NATURE OF HELL

.

One similarity, which many, today, overlook, is that Hell is an endless underworld in which all rejecters of God’s grace will spend eternity suffering for their sins.

.

And to this day, almost the entire Christian community embraces and teaches this ancient Babylonian version of Hell, to the extent that they believe it to be a netherworld den of conscious existence.

“GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE!”

2nd Thessalonians 2:11

.

**And truth-be-told, God gave the Church “enough rope to hang themselves”, as the old saying goes.**

.

Yes, God has written the Bible so that if anyone takes certain verses out of context, wrong interpretations will inevitably occur.

.

In other words, the apostate churches over the centuries, took a number of verses out of context to prop up this Babylonian view of Hell (and other ancient pagan cultures) as being a place of everlasting torment and suffering.

.

“IN THAT VERY DAY, HIS THOUGHTS PERISH!”

.

**Yes, God wrote the Bible in such a way that unsanctified minds could be used by their Master (Lucifer, the fallen rebel angel), to come up with many false doctrines.**

.

And Eternal Torment is just another example of taking certain verses out of the context of the Bible in its entirety, and making those certain verses the sum total of their church-doctrine.

.

And then, they ignore those many other passages which reveal death to be an unconscious state of nothingness, such as this passage…

“His breath goeth forth,

he returneth to his earth;

in that very day his thoughts perish.”

Psalm 146:4.

**Yes, this and many other similar passages present a completely opposite version of Hell than ancient pagan cultures embraced! (see also Job, Chapter 3, click here)**

STUDY, CHRISTIAN, STUDY!

.

Now there are too many articles already devoted to the various verses which prove this to be just another false doctrine by the fallen churches and denominations.

.

And the Reader is encouraged to read through these various articles on this website, to gain a greater understanding of why this doctrine is nothing more than heresy of the first degree.

“FLEE OUT OF THE MIDST OF BABYLON, AND DELIVER EVERY MAN HIS SOUL!”

Jeremiah 51:6

.

But the point of this article is to highlight that the current viewpoint of Hell is straight out of ancient Babylon,..

.

…and is just one more reason that God’s people must realize that spiritual Babylon is the apostate churches and denominations.

.

And sad to say, God’s Spirit has now at last vacated the apostate church-world, and He is calling His people to likewise “Come out of her (Babylon), My people, lest you partake of her sins, and receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

.

Yes, the end-time exodus is now.

.

And God has graciously provided an abundant provision of living waters and heavenly bread on the “mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem!” Hebrews 12:22

SATAN’S WAVE OF WATER CONSTELLATION

“For this shall every one that is godly

pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:

surely in the floods of great waters

they shall not come nigh unto him.”

Psalm 32:6

The majestic waves of the sea.

.

One of the most beautiful creations in nature!

.

The sounds of the crashing surf!

.

The moist wind and spray upon one’s face!

.

Truly, standing upon the sand, and facing the ocean surf overwhelms all the human senses!

.

It’s quite an exhilarating experience to say the least!

But the ocean and the surf, and the sand were created by God, not merely for beauty’s sake; but also to teach.

.

And the Bible has interwoven many aspects of nature into the Gospel story.

.

And these various things in nature were created by God to instruct Mankind in Bible truths, both good and bad.

Waves are used in Scripture to represent both good as well as bad things.

.

And in the black sea of the heavens, is seen a constellation of a dragon.

.

And this dragon is spewing a wave of water out of his mouth.

.

And this article will explore just what all this means.

.

And the Reader is invited to come and behold secrets in the Stars, which have been hidden since Creation; but now are being revealed by God, for such a time as this.

.

So come along and behold these grand heavenly pictures which our great God has inscribed, in the heavenly scroll, and stretched, even from sky to sky.
