Where do the dead go? What does the Bible teach on this issue? Is there a hell? Seven heavens? Life after death? Reincarnation? Are there ghosts? Does the Bible have anything to say about spiritism? Discover the true teachings of the Bible on this often misunderstood topic.

The Mystic Realm of Death

“And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed

into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man – received – a living soul.”

Genesis 2:7. Is that what it
says there? Nope, doesn’t say that.

It says “And man became a living soul”
so in other words, if we look

at this text we have two
components. There was dust of the

ground, that’s the matter, the
material substance, which by itself

has no life, and then he breathed
into his nostrils the breath of

life, he gave him life, he gave him
that something which made the non-

living living. And he calls it then
a living soul. So in other words

the combination of dust of the
earth plus the breath of life is

equal to a living soul.
That’s the formula for life.

Now this breath of life is this
a living entity by itself? Is this

something that exists in another
world? Floats around and is a

living thinking intelligent entity,
or is it merely the “ruwach” the

fire, the metabolism, that
something which makes something

alive. That’s a very important
question, now the Bible says you

don’t receive a living soul, when
this combination takes place you

become a living soul.

So breath, nashamah {nesh-aw-maw’},
breath, spirit, breath of man,

spirit of man. So the word breath
is often interchangeable used with

the word spirit, ruwach, spirit,
so this breath is something which

makes it alive. Now breath, if you
think about it in scientific terms,

is oxygen exchange, and oxygen
exchange, in the sciences, we call

metabolism. So a living cell
differs from a non living in that

it has metabolism. There is
something happening chemically in

there that nobody can duplicate
once that metabolism spark is gone.

No scientist can create life.
He can put all the substances

together, but he cannot produce
life. So that breath, that

metabolism spark is
something that comes from God.

Every breathing thing, that’s
exactly what it means, and the word

“spirit” there, Strong’s 07307
ruwach, spirit, wind, breath, mind,

blast, air, anger, cool, courage,
that which makes you alive, this

metabolism, this ruwach, this
spirit, this breath, this wind.

So is it a living entity this wind,
or does the individual, when he is

combined with the dust and this
ruwach, does he become this living

entity? Well the formula said,
“He becomes a living soul.” Nephesh,

soul, life, person, mind, creature,
the body himself, yourself, you

become you, that’s what it means.
There are the definitions straight

out of the Hebrew Concordance, so
when you are alive then you are a

living nephesh. You are nephesh,
you are a living soul. You are the

entity. You are not two
entities, you are one entity.

“And the LORD God commanded the
man, saying, Of every tree of the

garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of

good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it: for in the day that thou

eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die.” Genesis 2:16, 17.

That’s what the
Bible actually says.

But the Devil says something else,
the Devil’s lie: “You shall not

surely die.” Genesis 3:4. So, God
says you will surely what? Die, and

die means not live. Right or wrong?
Right, but the devil says, “no no no no,

you will not surely die, which
actually means that you will live.”

Romans 6:23 says, “the wages
of sin is death” death, “for God

knows that when you eat of it your
eyes will be opened, and you will

be like God,” even better, so the
devil promises that when you die,

or when you eat of the fruit, you
will not die, you will have eternal

life, and you will become bigger
and better and greater and like

God. So that’s really something,
and a lot of religions believe

exactly that. If you take Hinduism,
then you do not die, you just

continue in the spirit world, and
you return again and you get better

and better and better and you wipe
out of the karma of your past and

eventually you reach a state of
godhood and you become a living

god, and you can be worshipped on
this earth, they worship them all

the time, isn’t that so? So the
Devil said something and today the

whole world believes the lie rather
believing what God says. “You are

of your father the devil, the lusts
of your father ye will do. He was a

murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because

there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his

own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it” John 8:44. Well the

Bible doesn’t mince words as to
which one spoke the truth there in

Eden, God said “you will die”
that means, if life, living entity,

consisted of the dust of the earth,
and the spirit, the ruwach, the

breath, the life spark, the
metabolic process, God takes it

back, then you cease to exist,
you just die, you’re just dust.

The Devil says, “uh uh uh uh, you will
continue to live, you will never

die, in fact you
will be like God.”

“I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

God is not the God of the dead,
but of the living.” Matthew 22:32.

Let’s read another one, Mark 12:27,
“He is not the God of the dead, but

the God of the living:
ye therefore do greatly err.”

“For he is not a God of the dead,”
Luke 20:38, “but of the living: for

all live unto him.” Now this is
fascinating, so God says that he is

the God of the living, now, he
mentions even some names over here,

Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, are
they living or are they dead now?

They’re dead, they’ve died, but
God regards them as living. Does that

mean that they live as spirit
entities now, or does it mean that

in Christ they are alive? In Christ
there is eternal life for them.

But the question arises, when is that
life going to be given them?

And the answer that the Bible
consistently gives is in the

resurrection, the Bible teaches
death, but if you are in Christ,

resurrection to eternal life.

The other systems teach when you
die you have it instantly and you

continue as a spirit, and you live
eternally as a spirit. But then

some teach that when you are
resurrected the spirit has to come

back into the body, so it has to
come down and he has to rise again

as a body. So how will they live in
future, as a body again and in the

mean time they live as a spirit but
they never die? It’s not consistent

with the biblical teaching. But
the bottom line is that God does not

count those that have died in
Christ as dead, he counts them as

living, because in
him they have life.

Now, Osiris, the god of the dead,
Osiris was worshipped not as the

god of the living, but the god
of the dead. In fact the greatest

thing that could happen to you was
to die. Because when you were dead

you were with Osiris, and Osiris
was the one who gave you eternal

bliss. So Osiris was the god of
the dead, as opposed to Jesus Christ

who is the God of the living.

Tutmosis III is attributed with the
“Guidebook to the netherworld (the

Amduat)” and he is the one who
wrote the system on which the

Gnostic faith is based. The whole
Osiris cult that we looked at last

night to some extant is based on
the god of the dead. So you had two

gods in ancient times, Yahweh,
the God of the living, Christ Jesus,

Yahweh the savior, that’s what it
means, is the one who is the God of

the living. And you can only have
life in Christ because in Christ

and no one else there is life.
But Osiris was the god of the dead.

So the god of the dead was actually
a god that concentrated on death

rather than on life. And veneration
of the dead was a system that is

attributed to Osiris.

So in this religious system you had
the various deities, and Osiris was

the one who weighed you in the
balances to see if you were found

wanting. So he’s also the one who
is the judge, now in the biblical

system, who is the one who is the judge?
All judgment was given unto whom?

Was given unto Jesus, Jesus
is the judge, he’s the God of the

living. So Jesus says “If you are
in me, you have nothing to fear, I

am the judge, I’m the advocate, I’m
everything rolled into one.” Osiris

is the one who weighs your works,
and sees whether your works, your

good works outweigh your bad works.
And if your good works outweigh

your bad works well then you went
to the good place. And if your bad

works outweighed your good works
then you went to the bad place.

So the teaching of a bad place on the
other side and a good place on the

other side is based on the Osiris
cult, and we have to compare the

two very very carefully.

So it was taught that Anubis
for example, this dog-like god, is

another form of Osiris, the god of
the dead. And when you died, he is

the one who took you through
the processes that occurred on the

other side. So the Pharaoh when
he died, his whole clan was put to

death, his whole staff had to die
with him, and they probably died

quite happily because they were
going through to the other side to

serve in a much more exalted
capacity then they served before.

So they did have no fear, we have
religions today where people are

prepared to do all kinds of things
to get into that state of bliss.

Even blow themselves up just to
get to that state of bliss, they have

no knowledge of the teachings of
the scriptures in this regard or

they would never do
such a silly thing.

So after death it was taught that
life continues much as it does

today without the burdens, and you
carried on in a blissful cloud nine

situation. Now the veneration
and the consultation of the dead is

prohibited in the scriptures.

Deuteronomy 18:18 – 12 says,
“There shall not be found among you any

one that maketh his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire,”

“Or that useth divination, or an
observer of times, or an enchanter,

or a witch, or a charmer, or a
consulter with familiar spirits, or

a wizard, or a necromancer.”
Someone who consults the dead.

“For all that do these things are an
abomination unto the LORD: and

because of these abominations the
LORD thy God doth drive them out

from before thee.”
Deuteronomy 18:10 – 12.

So when you call upon the names of
these deceased, you are calling up

this – not the spirits of the dead,
you are calling up the spirits of

demons. And they have no problem
in impersonating those that went

before. Anyone that came into
contact with a dead person or a

grave was considered unclean and
could not take part in the temple

worship. Now that does not mean
that if someone died in the family

you could not bury him, because
they buried their dead; they buried

Abraham, they buried Isaac, they
buried Jacob, they carried the

bones of Joseph back with them
to the promised land. So it has

nothing to do with burying your
dead or something like that, or

paying last respects to someone
who has passed away, or to show grief

with those who are crying, it has
to do with veneration. It has to do

with worship, so God separated the
worship systems that involved the

dead, as far as the East is from
the West from his worship system.

There was to be no question as
to any veneration of the dead

whatsoever, whatsoever, it
had to be totally separated.

So God said, “no one will come
into my temple and worship over dead

bodies,” that doesn’t mean you
can’t bury someone who has died,

I’m not talking about that,
it’s talking about worship.

“And whosoever toucheth one that
is slain with a sword in the open

fields, or a dead body, or a bone
of a man, or a grave, shall be

unclean seven days.” Numbers 19:16.
So you weren’t to come into contact

with graves, why was this so?
Why did God make this very strong

distinction? Because paganism
believes in the veneration of the

dead, in Africa where I come from,
all the great religions are based

purely on the veneration of the dead.
The ancestors are the ones

through whom everyone is
worshipped, including Christ.

Catholicism fits like a glove into
that situation, because Catholicism

teaches the veneration of the dead.
There’s saint so and so, and saint

so and so, and saint the other,
and saint whoever. And you go through

the saint to God, now in the
African system you go through the

ancestor to God. In the Indian,
in the red Indian culture you do

exactly the same thing, its based
on paganism. That’s all they know,

so God made a very clear
distinction and said, listen

there is no veneration of the dead,
in fact I don’t want you to have

anything to do with this, you
cannot come into contact with

these, with these entities of the
dead and presume them to be active

on your behalf, because
they’re dead, dead is dead.”

“And the LORD said unto Moses,
Speak unto the priests the sons of

Aaron, and say unto them, There
shall none be defiled for the dead

among his people.” Leviticus 21:1.
Very very clear distinctions, very

clear; but the world today does
not believe in the death of the dead,

they believe the lie that the
devil spoke, and they believed in

continued life after death. Some in
bliss, and those are the ones that

you contact, the Bible says,
“none of them, none of them,” contact

with any one of them is akin to
witchcraft, is akin to witchcraft.

Now let’s have a look at the
cathedrals of the world today, the

cathedrals of the world today are
all built on ancient pagan worship

sites. No cathedral may be without
dead bodies and graves, or else it

is not a cathedral. A cathedral
is in fact a mortuary, it is a

graveyard. And God said, you are
not to come into contact with the

graves of the dead when you come
to worship him, stay away from the

temple for seven days. You can
grieve, that’s fair enough, but

don’t come to my temple. I’m making
a difference between paganism and

the God of the living. I am not the
God of the dead, I’m the God of the

living, stay away from this issue.
I am the God, worship me, don’t

worship through
any dead man’s bones.

Well the cathedrals are not only
ancient pagan worship sites, all

the great cathedrals, Notre dame, St.
Paul’s, all of them, all of

those cathedrals are built on
ancient pagan sites. And they were

all built in exactly the same
fashion as was the druidic system.

You used to have a channel of
stones, huge pillar stones, leading

up to a central circle in which
was a central stone, which is the

circle with a dot on it, the
ancient pagan sexual symbol of

unification between the two
deities, the male and the female,

and propagation of life through the
fertility rite. It’s pretty weird.

Now the ancient cathedrals are
built exactly the same way.

These pillars that you have, the giant
pillars in the cathedral represent

those stones, and in the ancient
cathedrals in the past you always

used to have a circular garden
behind with a stone in the center,

as in the druidic system, and many
of the Cathedrals today still have that.

So when you look down the
passage you used to come into the

circle, down the passage, these
great pillars on the side represent

the channel of the sun and they’re
built in that way as well, and you

walk through and you walk through
the regeneration cycle into the

sexual occult setting of the
circular grove. Where the hidden

god, either Pan, or the god of
the woods, Diana, or one of them was

situated. And as you walk down this
isle, you are walking on the bodies

of man. It is necromancy, it is
the age old druidic system. In fact,

you are not allowed to say a mass
in any, in any church setting in

these religious systems without
there being bone of a dead saint

under the altar. You have to have
a bone, because only through the dead

man’s bones, or a portion of him,
whatever the portion is, can you

actually find access to God.
Wow, that is something that God strictly

forbade, and something which
is generally practiced today.

So in the druidic system, this
is what you had, there you had the

circular Stonehenge, in the past
there you used to be the channel,

the walkway, of stones on either
side, and then they covered it up

on the sides, they put a steeple
on the front, and that was the

cathedral. It’s built and based on
druidic worship of the ancestors of

the dead. These are modern day
druids, and you will see that they

dressed very much
like nuns. Interesting.

Well here is one of the great
cathedrals in Europe, and you will

see here is one of the circular
gardens, this today placed on the

side, and in it when you go walking
through it you will find the graves

and you will find the ancient sites.
In the cathedrals you will

have numerous bodies of whoever it is.
Kings and queens and dead

people and saints and – just
anybody, as long as there are lots

of bodies. But largely important people.
So here in these cathedrals

you will find all these graveyards.
Something which God strictly

forbade. Here you have the tombs,
this is Edward the king, lying in

state with the pinecones and
all the regalia that deals with

paganism. And they will make them
prominent, as you enter into the

churches, here in this Roman
Catholic cathedral there’s a giant

tomb, right there, you walk into
the graveyard. Something that God

said, “You should never do.”
Here is an interesting cathedral that I

found in Germany, there’s the
symbol of the sun-god by the way.

There is the altar, so either in
the altar, or under, directly under

the altar, there will be a tomb.
Now normally you don’t see it from

inside the church, you have to
looking outside the church for an

entrance, or a side entrance
somewhere. But in this particular

one the entrance was right in the
church, it just went down and you

can go under the altar and of
course there has to be a tomb down

there, or else you cannot say the mass,
because its veneration of the dead.

And I want down and stuck my
camera through there just to show

you the tomb, there it is.
And the altar is up there, in the top.

That’s worship of the dead.
Some nice tombs, this is in the

cathedrals in London, and in
Europe, wherever you go, and then

as you walk down the isle ways
of these cathedrals, you will find

that you are walking on dead men’s bones.
All over the place. And this

is John Gent, and he died on the
13th of August, 1767 and you will

find others. Now in this system the
god of the dead was either Seb, in

the Egyptian system, and later he
became Saturn. The Saturn god, and

the symbol of Saturn was the skull
which the two bones, which is also

the symbol of course that pirates
use, and that is the symbol of the

good of the dead. But that’s not
the symbol of Jesus Christ, this is

a Roman Catholic cathedral in Europe.
At the top there you have

the Phoenix, this is a symbol of
Lucifer. It’s not a symbol of Jesus

Christ, and there you have Anubis.
They don’t even hide it. Anubis the

god of the dead, the god of the
Egyptian dead, so choose; are we

serving the god of the dead or are
we serving the god of the living?

Either one of the other.
Now what about Catholicism in

general? The Pope amongst us,
“The Beautification of Father Joseph

Gerard” just as a modern day
example when a human being is

beautified, declared to be a saint.
And you’ll be surprised at who is

declared to be a saint, anybody who
does something for Rome is declared

to be a saint. They’re discussing
the beatification of Comrad

Ardinald now, so wow; soon
you’ll be able to pray to him too.

Well in any case, here again is the
symbol of the sun in front of him.

And in Catholicism the veneration
of the dead is very very prominent.

That’s why the ancient pagan
religions associate readily with

Catholicism. In this particular
monastery, here are the bones and

the skeletons of all the monks that
have ever lived throughout the ages

of Catholicism in this particular
monastery. Here when you died you

didn’t get buried, you were set
aside for awhile until you were

cleaned up, and then you became
part of the decoration. And when

you go into the place, it is
claimed that you can benefit from

their righteous works. Because in
their lives these monks did more

righteous works then they needed to
go to heaven, so there’s an excess

of righteousness. There’s sort of
a basin out of which you can take a

little bit to top up your lack of
righteousness. And I’m not making a

joke, this is Catholic doctrine,
I know, I’m a Catholic – I was a

Catholic myself, was a Catholic.
Here you go, take some of this

righteousness, walk through there
and pray to the dead. Here are all

the bones and the skulls standing
over there at Gercaputchee in Rome.

So you can pray to these saints,
you can ask for them to mediate,

and you can borrow from their
excess righteousness to top up

yours, and Jesus Christ who is the
only mediator between man and God

is marginalized. You never talk
to him, you know you have to have a

special audience through all
these dead men’s bones to get there.

Now, when you go to Islam, it’s
exactly the same religion, Islam is

also the veneration of the dead,
and it is exactly the same as

Catholicism in this sense. That’s
why behind the scenes there is no

problem between the religions.
This is the famous Um Di Aut mosque in

Syria, the oldest mosque. By the
way this is the mosque that the

pope chose to make his apology for
all the deeds that happened in the

past in the name of religion.
And I stood in this mosque and I was

stunned to see what was going on here.
Here you can see the Moslems

praying at this particular shrine,
this is a fascinating shrine,

because in this particular shrine
here in the Um Di Aut mosque, there

lies the body of an interesting
personage. And in fact it’s not the

whole body it’s just the head of
that particular entity that is here

somewhere buried under one of these
pillars and that’s what makes the

mosque a place of worship. Uh, any
guesses as to who’s head is in that

mosque? John the Baptist, now you
might be stunned to hear that John

the Baptist, who is revered by
Christians should be here in this

mosque revered by Moslems. And
finding special grace from the head

of John the Baptist. Well the
Pope was here and also paid special

homage of course to this particular
skull in there, I don’t know

whether it really is the head of
John the Baptist, fortunately the

Roman Catholic church is not
totally devoid of this luxury

because they have the arm of
John the Baptist in one of their

cathedrals in Istanbul, you see?
So between the two of them maybe they

can find some of the rest of the
pieces as well, I don’t know, but

isn’t it sad? To have this
ritual of praying to the dead?

“… for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19.

“… in Adam all die.” 1 Corinthians 15:
2. So all mankind that was in

Adam is subject to death, that’s
the bottom line, and death is non-

life, you’re dead.

“And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed

into his nostrils the breath of life,
and man became a living soul.”

Genesis 2:7. “Then shall the
dust return to the earth as it was:

and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.” It returns to

God, it’s not the entity, it’s the
Ruwach, the breath, the life giving

principle which returns to
God and then you cease to live,

Ecclesiastes 12:7. “All the while”
let’s read what happens here,

Job 27:3, “All the while my breath is
in me, and the spirit of God is in

my nostrils,…” that is Hebrew
parallelism, that equates the

breath, the spirit as one. In
other words he’s saying, “this is the

situation, this the situation,”
repeating it in other words, so

Hebrew parallelism, as we have seen
also in the Concordance, equates

this life giving principle, this
spirit, with the breath, the life

giving principle of God.

“All the while my breath” this life
giving principle, the fact that I

breathe means that I am alive,
“and the spirit of Good is in my

nostrils,…” This breathe is in my
nostrils, that is why I am alive.

If God should take this breath,
this life giving principle away

from me, what happens
to me? Dead, I die.

Listen to this, Ezekiel 18:4,
“…the soul – nephesh – that sinneth, it

shall die.” So people say,
“ah hah! I die but my soul remains alive,”

no no no, the soul is the entity
that is alive, that is the body

plus the Ruwach, plus the spirit.
And when I die in sin, I die, this

soul, the nephesh, the living
entity, dies, it ceases to exist.

So the soul is not a separate
entity that goes and sits on cloud

nine and plays the harp. I always
thought that was going to be

terribly boring, to one day die
and sit on a cloud and play the harp,

The King James Version uses the word
“soul” 1,600 times, but never

once uses the term “immortal soul.”
It doesn’t exist, there’s no such

thing. Only God is immortal.
The Bible declares that death is a

sleep 53 times. Of course you
are asleep when you are in Christ,

because Christ is the God of the
living, so when you die the Bible

says if you are in Christ you are
as though you are just asleep, God

will wake you up
at the latter day.

Let’s see what happens when you die.
“But man dieth, and wasteth away:

yea, man giveth up the ghost -
the ruwach, the spirit -

and where is he?” Job 14:10, (But
man dies and is cut off; - that is the

New King James Version of the same
text - and man expires, and where

is he?). You see this word ghost
over there is the word expires.

It’s a very good translation, so
look carefully at your translation,

the word expire is to breathe your last.
Isn’t that right? He breathes

his last, so the breath goes from
him, the life principle goes from him.

Hebrews: gava’ – die, give up
the ghost, dead, perish, expire, be

about to die. That’s what it means.
And how long will he remain in that

state? Job 14:12, “… till the
heavens be no more, they shall not

awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
That’s the teaching of the

Bible, so when you die, it is akin
to a state of sleep for how long?

Until the heavens are no more.
And when will that take place, by the way?

The Bible says that when
Christ returns, the heavens will

roll up like a scroll. So at
the return of Christ, there is an

awakening from this sleep. So you
die, you know nothing, you sleep,

until the resurrection day.
You will not awake your will you be

raised from that sleep.

Let’s have a look at the practical
example that Jesus left behind,

John 11:11 “Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth;” Lazarus was a friend of

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ was
a friend of Lazarus. “Our friend

Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that
I may awake him out of his sleep.”

Now the disciples thought, well
this man is talking about a sick

Lazarus who is asleep. “Lord, if
he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit,

Jesus spake of his death:”
but Jesus called it a sleep, “but they

thought he had spoken of taking
rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto

them plainly, Lazarus is dead.”
See? Lazarus is dead, but for

Christ, Lazarus was what? Asleep,
because Christ was the God of the

living. Not the God of the dead.
So here he was, he was asleep. Now

what about Abraham? To Christ
Abraham is what? Sleeping, that’s

what it’s all about. So Lazarus
is dead, but to Christ he was just

asleep. God does not forget the
dead, they are in Christ, he has

the hard disk. He has the full
record of your entity as you were,

and when he says
“restore” there you are.

Perfect, like you were, better.

“Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.” John 11:21.

So now when Jesus comes to
Lazareth, he’s confronted by Mary,

who says “if only you’d been here
he would not have died.”

“… Thy brother shall rise again.”
John 11: 3, Jesus comforts her and says

“what’s your problem? Don’t you
have faith? Your brother will rise again,”

and listen to her answer.
She answers, John 11:24, “I know

that he is now in heaven and one
day he will come again and return

to his body at the resurrection,”
is that what it says there? No! No,

it says, “I know that he shall rise
again in the resurrection at the

last day.” So what is the biblical
teaching about death? The biblical

teaching about death is, you die
and it’s a state of sleep, total

unconsciousness, but Christ will
raise you on the latter day. And to

show that he had power over death,
he raised Lazareth from the dead.

“But: Lord, … by this time there
is a bad odor, for he has been there

four days.” John 11:39, but he said
to him, “Lazareth, come forth.”

And Lazareth came out and said,
“Lord, why did you call me up? I was

having such fun in heaven,” not a
word, not a word, Lazarus continued

with his life as if he had woken
out of a sleep. There’s no question

that he was not in heaven or
anywhere else during that time

period. “And when thy days be
fulfilled… thou shalt sleep with

thy fathers.” 2 Samuel 7:12.
To Daniel, he said – read the last

verse of Daniel – he says, Daniel,
you shall sleep, and you shall rise

again in the latter days in
the latter days to receive your

allotted inheritance.
They’re all asleep in Christ.

Is there a conscious existence
after death? We have to answer this

question, it’s very important.
Well, Psalms 146:4 says, this

breath, this ruwach, this life
giving principle, this spirit of

God, returns to God “goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth; in that

very day his thoughts perish.”
So when you die, there’s no thinking,

no cognitive thought, “for the
living know that they shall die,

but the dead no not any thing, …
Also their love, and their hatred,

and their envy, is now perished.
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6.

So when Prince Charles of England
consults Lord Mount Battin, who is

dead, who’s he talking to? He’s
not talking to Lord Mount Battin, he

might thinks so, but my Bible says
that Lord Mount Battin won’t help

him anything. Because his thoughts
have perished, he’s not there.

“The dead praise not the Lord
neither any that go down into

silence.” Psalms 115:17, so when
you die, people say, “that person

is now in heaven in the presence
of God praising God,” no, not so,

Psalms 115:17 says, “the dead
praise not the Lord neither any

that go down into silence.” There’s
nothing down there, nothing, just

silence. “For in death there is no
remembrance of thee: in the grave

who shall give thee thanks?
Psalms 6:5. Nobody, “For that which

befalleth the sons of men befalleth
the beasts.” There’s no difference

between the way an animal dies
and man dies. It says, “that which

befalleth the sons of men
befalleth the beasts; even one thing

befalleth them: as the one dieth,
so dieth the other;” so animals and

man die the same way. “They all
have one breath.” One breath, now

many churches teach that people,
when they die, go to heaven, but

animals don’t because they don’t
have a soul. That’s not biblical.

There’s the Bible text, and the
Bible may not contradict itself.

Everybody dies the same way,
that animal has exactly the same

metabolism as any human being.
Any scientist can tell you that.

I can transplant an animal’s organ
and put it into a human being, and if

we can get rid of the problem of
rejection, you’ll probably survive.

So there’s no difference between
the way an animal lives and the way

a human lives, the only difference
is that a human makes cognitive

decisions in his life and is
subject to the reckoning of God,

and therefore in Christ, or out
of Christ. So, animals die the same

way as humans, they all have
one spirit, ruwach, life giving

principle. “So that man has no
preeminence over a beast.” Isn’t

that interesting? We must
read the Bible carefully.

Isaiah 38:18, there is beautiful
harmony throughout the Bible.

“For the grave cannot praise thee,
death can not celebrate thee: they that

go down into the pit cannot hope
for thy truth.” The decision has to

be made now, not later. “Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with

thy might; for there is no work,
nor device, nor knowledge, nor

wisdom, in the grave, whither thou
goest.” Ecclesiastes 9:10. So when

you are dead you are dead, if you
want to do something, do it now.

If you want to make right with someone
you’ve had a problem with, do it

now, you can’t do it later.
You can’t come back as a ghost and sort

it out and fight forever and ever
and talk about haunted houses and

whatever, that’s
demology, that’s spiritism.

Imagine how much confusion could
be avoided if people accepted the

biblical doctrine on death.
What about this now? This is the

birthplace of modern spiritualism.
“Upon this site stood the

Hydesville cottage, the home of
the Fox sisters,” and this is their

stone, their mortuary stone.
“March 31, 1848: There is no death there

are no dead,” Is that God language
or serpent language? It’s serpent

language. Very interesting, there
they are. The three Fox sisters.

They’re the ones that started
modern spiritism because they heard

the rappings. And they would tap
tap tap tap, and then the spirits

would tap tap tap tap. And so
the communication, the modern

communication with the spirit
world, opened up to the Western

world. Of course in the ancient
cultures it had always been there.

In the African culture, in the
Egyptian culture, in the Babylonian

culture, in the eastern culture,
consultation with the dead was

always practiced. But for the
modern, western, Christian mind,

this was the opening wedge.
“Spiritualism says that the dead

know more than the living. ‘And
the serpent said unto the woman, ye

shall not surely die.’” Genesis 3:
. Spiritism says, “you know

more, you know more.” “In this,”
this is now quoting them,

“as in many other Bible passages, the
Devil told the truth and the Lord

is in error.” E.W. Sprague,
Spiritualist. Wow, so the Lord lied

and the Lord was in error, and the
Devil is the one who is the truth.

That’s great. I. Spiritism
claims the dead are not dead.

“The fundamental principle of spiritism
is that human beings survive bodily

death, and that occasionally
under conditions not yet fully

understood, we can communicate with
those who have gone before.”

This is –J. Arthur Hill, Spiritism: History,
Phenomena, and Doctrine, p. 25.

So they say, “you’re not dead,”
the Bible says “you’re dead.”

Well one of the two is
wrong, right or wrong? One of the

two is wrong. II. Spiritism claims
the dead communicate with the

living. “There is no death in the
graveyard. I have frequent talks

with the dead. I cannot doubt
that people live after death for a

frequently talk with them.”
– Sir Oliver Lodge. Wow, in fact,

spiritism is alive and practiced
at the highest levels of society

today, at the highest levels of
society. Kings, and queens, and

emperors, and presidents, they
all practice it. Very interesting,

something which the Bible forbids.
The Progressive Thinker May 18,

1929 said, “What spiritualism is
and does: It removes all fear of

death, which is really the portal
to the spirit world.” This is

eastern mysticism, this is Osiris
worship, this is Anubis.

“It teaches that death is not the
cessation of life, but a mere

change of condition. Spiritualism
is God’s message to mortals,

declaring that “There is no death.”
That all who have passed on still live.

That there is hope in the
life beyond for the most sinful”

“That every soul will progress
through the ages to heights,

sublime and glorious, where God is
love and love is God.” And I always

say, “look at India, look at
Calcutta, how thousands of years of

reincarnation has improved
the quality of life there.

It’s ridiculous, it’s the most pathetic
lie in the universe and the devil

spun it and the world believes it.
That’s the fact of the matter.

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone,
so he who goes down to the grave

does not return. He will never come
to his house again.” Job 7:9,10.

You cannot talk with the dead
because the dead know not anything.

If you talk to the dead you are
talking a demon who says, “I am …”

I’ve got tapes of these, my father
in law was deeply steeped into

spiritism. He was a very prominent
New Ager, he believed all this

stuff. I could tell you stories
that you will not believe, don’t

miss the lecture tomorrow
night, the New Age Movement, wow.

“His sons come to honour, and he
knoweth it not;” what do we preach

at the graveside? They’re looking
down upon you, don’t be sad.

“And they are brought low, but he
perceiveth it not of them.” Job 14:21.

What comfort, my mother
never saw my, my mistakes and my

bad moves or whatever.
She’s asleep.

“When a few years are come, then I
shall go the way whence I shall not

return.” Job 16:22. Until the Lord
comes “And as it is appointed unto

men once to die, but after this the
judgment:” Hebrews 9:27. Wap!

There goes reincarnation, goodbye!
Either you believe the Bible or you

believe the lie. One of the two.
There is no reincarnation, there is

no cycle, there is no second
chance, it’s now or never. You are

appointed once to die and then
there is a resurrection and its

judgment, whether
we like it or not.

“And when they shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar

spirits, and unto wizards that
peep, and that mutter:” they peep

and they mutter, they make funny
noises, “should not a people seek

unto their God? For the living
to the dead?” What are you doing

consulting the dead? Isaiah 8:19.
Talk to God, don’t consult the

dead, don’t consult the stars and
the spiritists, and the wizards and

the necromancers. “To the law and
to the testimony: if they speak not

according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.”

Isaiah 8:20, if they do not speak
according to the Bible, forget

about them, forget about them,
they’re lying. So spiritism and

death are in unity. But God and
life are in unity. “Regard not them

that have familiar spirits, neither
seek after wizards, to be defiled

by them. I am the Lord
your God.” Leviticus 19:31.

“Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the sons of man, in whom there

is no help. His breath goeth forth
– his ruwach, his life – returneth

to his earth – goes back to dust
– and that very day his thoughts

perish.” Psalms 146: 3,4. So it was
the ancient Egyptians that believed

the pagan doctrine of immortality
of the soul, and they taught this

fervently in Alexandria. Now do
you know what’s interesting? That the

Jews were just like people today,
they though they could get a better

education at the universities of
the world. So they went to study

the theology of the nations,
and many of them received their

education in Alexandria.
The Sadducees were such a class, the

Sadducees believed that when you
died you went straight to heaven,

and there you sat on Abraham’s lap.
How comfortable it was. And if you

had something to pray about, you
prayed to Abraham, who was dead, to

communicate to God. That’s
ancestral worship, you pray through

Abraham to God. You use an
in-between one, and they taught, as

they learnt here in Egypt in
Alexandria, that when you died, you

went either to the good place or
you went to the hot place. That’s

Inubis – Osiris worship.

The Pharisees on the other hand
believed in what? They believed in

the death and the resurrection.
And when Paul was brought before the

Sanhedrin, because it surprising
what bedfellows you find when you

are opposing God. When it came to
opposing Christ, the Pharisees and

the Sadducees were in perfect
harmony with each other. Buddies,

bedfellows. And when Paul was
confronted later, he was in a bit

of trouble there, so he threw this
gauntlet at them, and he says, “I

am a Pharisee! I believe in the
resurrection,” and remember?

What happened there? They started
fighting so much amongst themselves

they didn’t even know what
to do with Paul anymore.

It’s interesting. So this is what
the ancient Egyptians believed, so

“ancestor worship in most cases
is simply spiritualism of the east

which serves as the exponent of
immortality.” Contact With The

Other World, p. 14.
That’s what the bottom line is.

“And he doeth great wonders … And
deceiveth them that dwell on the

earth by those miracles which he
had power to do …” Revelation 13:13.

Spiritualism is going to
play a major role in the deceptions

of the last days. I will show
you slides that will stun you in

lecture that’s coming up called
Signs and Wonders, don’t miss it.

“For they are spirits of devils,
working miracles …” Revelation 16:14.

When Mary appears to the
Christian-Catholic world, or to the

Islamic world, as she frequently,
in inverted commas, does, who’s

appearing? Mary’s asleep, Mary is
asleep awaiting the resurrection,

so who is appearing? It’s a
demon masquerading as Mary.

“And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an angel of

light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14.

The Devil assumes the role of
Christ, he comes as Maitreya, and

says “I am your brother who through
many cycles done this and that and

the other and what have you.”
What a load of nonsense, if he’s so

great because he had so many
cycles, then everybody is great

according to that doctrine, because
everybody had the same amount of

cycles, right? Why should he be any
better than the others? But they’re

all dead, none of them live, so
they are demonic, Satan, and Mary

appearances, exactly the same.
Or Guya appearances, or Vishnu, or

Siva, or lord whoever,
all one and the same.

Matthew 7:22, 23. “Many will say to
me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we

not prophesied in thy name? And in
thy name have cast out devils?

And in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto

them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.” Anomia,

against the law of God.

Ephesians says in 6:11, “Put on
the whole armor of God,” You cannot

just believe bits and pieces of
the Bible, you gotta take the whole

armor “that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.”

If a spirit being walks in here now
and claims to be Jesus Christ, as

has happened in Mexico when
thousands of people fell down at a

football stadium where he
appeared, worshipped him, hello?

Who’s appearing there? If you want
to stand against these strange

manifestations, then we
must be armed with the Bible.

Well, some people say, “What about
the thief on the cross?” Jesus said

to him, “you will be with me in
heaven.” Let’s go through this

carefully, “and he said unto Jesus,
Lord, remember me when thou comest

into thy kingdom.” Luke 23:42, that
day was the Friday. “And Jesus said

unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
To day shalt thou be with me in

paradise.” Luke 23:43. So you see
the thief was with Christ in heaven

on the day that he died? Well it
depends where you put that comma,

because that comma was not there
in the original text. In fact the

space between the words was not
even there in the original text.

It was one big block. So, it could
also read, if you shift the comma

to there, “Verily I say unto thee
To day, shalt thou be with me in

paradise” or, you shall be with me
in paradise. So now we have to ask

the question, Jesus, was the thief
with you after his death on that

day, the Friday, was he with
you in paradise, yes or no?

Well, firstly, he couldn’t have
been because he wasn’t dead yet.

Because the Bible says that when
the Sabbath was drawing to a close,

they were saying to the Romans,
you better check these guys, they’re

still alive. So they went to what,
do what with their bones?

Break their bones. But when they came
to Christ he was already dead.

Now they broke the bones so that they
couldn’t climb down from the cross

on the Sabbath, because it would
have been a sacrilege to chase them

on the Sabbath day you see, that
would be breaking the Sabbath.

So break their bones and they can’t
do that. So firstly he wasn’t dead on

the Sabbath, he still lived past
that, and secondly he wasn’t in

heaven; Jesus did not ascend
to heaven on the day of His

crucifixion. He slept in the
grave, let’s check that out.

Mary Magdalene comes to the grave
Sunday morning, and, “Jesus saith

unto her, Touch me not; for I am
not yet ascended to my Father:”

So he couldn’t have been with the
thief in heaven, because he had not

ascended to His Father, “but go to
my brethren, and say unto them, I

ascend unto my Father, and your
Father; and to my God, and your God.”

So early on the first day
of the week, Jesus ascended unto

heaven, he wasn’t there on that
Friday. And that evening he was

back, because he appeared amongst
the disciples, so on that day he

went to the Father, and the Father
accepted his sacrifice. So the

thief was not with Christ in
heaven on that day. So Christ said,

“verily verily I say unto you today,
you will be with me in heaven.”

God does not forget the dead,
“If a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my appointed
time will I wait, till my change come.

Thou shalt call, and I will
answer thee: thou wilt have a

desire to the work of thine hands.”
John 14: 14, 15. So, he will die,

he will sleep, and Christ desires,
he longs to be with his people.

He cannot wait for the day of the
resurrection, so the dead sleep in

Christ, and on the day of the
resurrection, Jesus says,

“Come forth! I’m here!”
And they wake up.

“But now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the firstfruits of

them that slept…. For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall

all be made alive… Christ the
firstfruits; afterwards they that

are Christ’s – where? – at his coming.
Now the Bible says, that

there was a wave offering, a
firstfruits offering. Now when

Christ rose from the dead there
was an earthquake – or when he died

there was an earthquake. And what
happened? Graves opened and the

dead rose, certain select dead
rose, and those dead are the

firstfruits of the resurrection and
are with Christ in heaven. So some

are in heaven already. There are a
few others that are in heaven as well.

Enoch never died, he went to
heaven, he was translated, Elijah,

he didn’t die; he was translated
and went to heaven. Moses died, but

was resurrected because the book of
Jude says that there was contention

over him, and Elijah, Moses, Enoch,
and a number of others, who serve

as priests together with Christ.
Because there were twenty-four

elders together, twenty-five others
together with Christ, in uh, or in

the earthly sanctuary, and so
there are also elders serving in the

courts above. So some are alive.

“I shall be satisfied when I
wake, with thy likeness.” We will be

transformed into the likeness of
Christ, Psalms 17:15. “… Yet in my

flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall
see for myself, and mine eyes shall

behold, and not another…” So it’s
not a ghost, I will see him as I am.

Wonderful thought.

“According to the Lord’s own word,”
this is all scripture “we tell you

that we who are still alive, who
are left till the coming of the

Lord,” so when the Lord comes
there will be the living who are in

Christ, and there will be the
dead who are asleep in Christ,

“will certainly not precede those who
have fallen asleep. For the Lord

Himself will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice

of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead

in Christ shall rise first.”
1 Thessalonians 4:15, 16.

“After that, we who are still alive”
so the living at the end of time,

“and are left will be caught up with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord

in the air.” The clouds, Hebrew
parallelism, I’ll deal with it in a

later lecture, are angels, so the
angels gather the elect and they

meet the Lord in the air. “And so
we will be with the Lord forever.”

1 Thessalonians 4:17. So that’s the
biblical teaching, Christ returns,

the dead in Christ are raised,
the living are translated, together,

the one not preceding the
other, meet the Lord in the air.

“We shall sleep until he comes
and knocks on the little grave and

says, Doctor Martin, get up!
Then I shall rise in a moment, and be

happy with Him forever.” The
Christian Hope, p. 37. That’s what

Martin Luther taught.

“Marvel not at this: for the hour
is coming, in the which all that

are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth…” John 5:28,29.

“He that hath the Son hath life;
and he that hath not the Son

of God” he will not have life, we
will have to deal with this very

carefully. 1 John 5:12.

“Now unto the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only wise

God, be honour and glory for ever
and ever. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:17.

God is immortal, not me, we have
immortality by grace. “Behold, I

shew you a mystery; We shall
not all sleep, but we shall all be

changed, in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye,” when?

“At the last trump: for the shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised

incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. For this corruptible must

put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality.”

1 Corinthians 15:51 and onwards.
So we see that the Bible is consistent

throughout on this topic.
“These all died in faith, not

having received the promises,”
Paul lists a whole list of great men and

he says they died without having
received the promises. “But having

seen them afar off, and were
persuaded of them, and embraced

them, and confessed that they
were strangers and pilgrims on the

earth.” Hebrews 11:13. The promise
of the earth made new is coming in

the future. “Thy dead men shall
live, together with my dead body

shall they arise. Awake and sing,
ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew

is as the dew of herbs, and the
earth shall cast out the dead.”

Isaiah 26:19. The biblical doctrine
is so clear, “I am the resurrection

and the life: he that believeth in me,
thou he were dead, yet shall he live.”

John 11:25. So here are
these two great distinctions.

Now what about the texts in the
Bible where it talks about geena,

hell fire, all of these interesting
things, what happens to the wicked,

what is all this about? Revelation
6:16, 17. “And said to the

mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him

that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb: for the

great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand?” So the

one class, the dead in Christ
rise, the living righteous are

translated, together they meet
the Lord in the air. There’s another

class, the living wicked, and the
dead wicked. Matthew 10;28,

“and fear not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the –

nephesh, the living entity – but
rather fear him which is able to

destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Doctrine of hell? Well the

word used there is geena, geena,
what does it mean? Let’s have a

look at it, geena, the Hebrew origin:
1) Hell is the place of the

future punishment call “Gehenna”
or “Gehenna of fire”. This was

originally the valley of Hinnom,
south of Jerusalem, where the filth

and dead animals of the city were
cast out and burned; a fit symbol

of the wicked and their
future destruction.”

So there you have this concordance
explanation of this word, so the

word refers to the valley where the
dead bodies were burnt, destroyed.

By the way, how long did those
bodies burn? Until they were gone.

Until they were burnt gone. Now the
Greek Hades, and the Hebrew she’ộl,

which is used in the Bible and
which is often referred to as hell

for the doctrine of hell, is
the place of the dead. So it’s the

grave, you go down into the pit,
you go down into she’ộl, into the

grave, you go down into hades,
the grave. And it’s often translated

also as hell. So here you have the
two possibilities for the doctrine

of hell. The one is geena, this
fire that burns, which was the

symbol of this valley of Hinnon,
and the other one is Hades or

she’ộl. “Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart

from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the

devil and his angels:” Matthew 25:
1. Now what is this everlasting fire?

These are the symbols that are
used to explain the doctrine of hell.

Now this is what Samuel
Hopkins wrote, Catholic doctrine,

is the following, “The smoke
of their torment shall ascend up

forever in the sight of the blessed
… before their eyes … this display

of the divine character and glory
will be in favor of the redeemed,”

ah hah! So Catholic doctrine says
that if those burning down there,

the contrast between the redeemed
and those burning is very great,

and is “in favor of the
redeemed, and most entertaining,”

interesting, “and give the highest
pleasure to those who love God …”

“Should the eternal torment and
fires be extinguished, it would in

a great measure … put an end to
the happiness and glory of the

blessed.” That’s a very warped

idea of blessing and happiness,
it’s a pretty sick idea. So this

idea of the eternally damned and
the eternally blessed is a heavy

Roman Catholic concept.
Ezekiel 33:11 says “As I live,

saith the Lord GOD, I have no
pleasure in the death of the

wicked;” God doesn’t take pleasure
in their dying! “But that the

wicked turn from his way and live:
turn ye, turn ye from your evil

ways; for why will ye die, O house
of Israel?” Ezekiel 33:11.

God is not this character that is
portrayed there. “I have no

pleasure in the death of him that
dieth …” Ezekiel 18:32. This is a

sword in the heart of
this Catholic doctrine.

“Catholic Religion,” Martin, p. 290.
“The council of Trent decided:

‘In purgatory the souls can
themselves wipe out their debt only

by suffering.’” So here is taught
another sort of in between station,

you have hell where you have
eternal torment, but if you weren’t

so bad, you could burn off some of
your sins before hand. Either God

forgives you or he doesn’t.

“Let the wicked forsake his
way, and the unrighteous man his

thoughts: and let him return unto
the LORD, and he will have mercy

upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:7.

As far as the east is from the
west, he will remove your sins

from you. There’s no half way
station where you need a blow torch

to burn off the rest that wasn’t
perfected. So the doctrine of

purgatory is not biblical either.

So what about the story of the
rich man and Lazarus? Well, we’ve

already explained, Jesus was
talking to the Pharisees and the

Sadducees, and the Sadducees
taught that when you died, you went

straight to heaven or straight
to hell; that was Alexandrian

doctrine, that’s where they
received their training. And, by

the way, they also, as we said,
taught that they were going to the

lap of Abraham. And now Jesus takes
their story and he turns it upside down.

They also taught that if you
were great and good and wonderful

on this earth, and if you were
one of the elect born into the elect

society you went straight to
Abraham’s lap. Well Jesus takes

their doctrine and he takes
everything they stand for and turns

it upside down. The rich man goes
to the bad place, he stands for

Israel who had all this knowledge.
And the poor man who had nothing

but sores, the sinful one, who
waited for the crumbs, the little

bit of doctrine that could fall
from the table of Israel.

He received nothing, he went to
Abraham’s lap. And the ones then

down there he said “Father Abraham,
father Abraham! Please, can I not

just send someone a message
that my brothers can be warned?”

Now what is wrong with that story?
People make that a literal story.

Firstly, all the redeemed are in
Abraham’s lap, that’s not biblical.

Secondly, he’s praying, asking,
Father Abraham to do something for

him, that’s veneration of the dead.
So all those doctrines in that

parallel strike directly at the
heart of Sadduceel teaching and

kills it. This is a story that
turns the doctrine of the Sadducees

upside down and shows them
the bigotry of that story.

“That the wicked is reserved to
the day of” what does that say there?

“Destruction? They shall be brought
forth to the day of wrath.”

Job 21:30. In the Bible you must put
the text together and let the plain

texts explain the not so plain ones.
“And these shall go away into

everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.”

Now the question is, is the punishment
going to continue forever and ever,

or is the consequence of the
punishment eternal? That is the

question we must answer. “And death
and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

This is the second death.”
Ah hah, so the first death is one that

you die, literally when you die,
then you can be raised to judgment,

and the lake of fire is the second
death. So you die a second time.

And whosoever was not found written
in the book of life was cast into

the lake of fire.” Which
is what? The second death.

So long will the wicked burn?
Is it an everlasting suffering, or is the

consequence everlasting?
“But the wicked shall perish, and the

enemies of the LORD shall be as
the fat of lambs: they shall consume;

into smoke shall they consume away.”
Psalms 37:20. Now the Bible

says they will be burnt and burn
away, so the consequences of the

fire, of the geena, just like
those animals that died out there and

were burnt, or those that were
burnt away until they were no more,

they will be destroyed, they will
burn and they consume away.

“… And fire came down from God out
of heaven, and devoured them.”

Revelation 20:9. So they
will be consumed away.

“For, behold, the day cometh, that
shall burn as an oven; and all the

proud, yea, and all that do
wickedly, shall be stubble: and the

day that cometh shall burn them
up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it

shall leave them neither root nor
branch.” Malachi 4:1. They shall

burn away. Examples in the Bible,
“turning the cities of Sodom and

Gomorrah into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an

example unto those that after
should live ungodly;” 2 Peter 2:6.

Now, they suffered the consequences
of eternal fire, did the fire burn

eternally, or are the consequences
eternally in terms of Sodom and

Gomorrah? Is Sodom and Gomorrah
still burning out there? No, but

it’s gone for how long? Forever.
That’s the Hebrew concept of

extant, forever forever, the
concept is that the consequence is

forever. “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah”
this is Jude 7, “even as

Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities
about them in like manner, giving

themselves over to fornication, and
going after strange flesh, are set

forth as an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.” It’s an

example of the eternity of that
judgment. “They shall be as though

they had not been.” Obadiah 16.
In other words the wicked will one day

perish and be gone, God does not
burn them forever and ever and ever.

How incredibly unjust that
would be for a short life of wrong

doing to be eternally tormented,
that’s not the character of God,

that’s a character of another one.
The Bible does not teach that, the

Bible is distorted into teaching
that, but it doesn’t teach that.

“And you shall trample the wicked,
for they shall be – what? – ashes

under the soles of your feet in the
day which I am preparing, says the

LORD of hosts.” so here’s the
bottom line: if you have Christ,

you rise in the resurrection, if
you are alive when he comes, you

will be translated together with
the righteous, they meet the LORD

in the air, and they live for how long?
Forever, in Christ there is

life. Without Christ there is
no life, there is death.

You will rise, you will be judged, you
will know why you will not have eternal

life, fire comes down from heaven,
you suffer the torment of geena,

that is being extinguished.
Just like that, gone, for how long?

Forever, forever, and you shall
trample the wicked, for they shall

be ashes under the soles of
your feet in the day which I am

preparing, says the LORD
of hosts.” Malachi 4:3.

What happens to Satan, does he live
forever? Are we ever and ever and

ever going to be reminded of the
wickedness and the sadness of this

planet? No, Ezekiel 28:18, 19 says
“… will I bring forth a fire from

the midst of thee,” talking about
Satan, “it shall devour thee, and I

will bring thee to ashes upon the
earth in the sight of all them that

behold thee. … and never shalt
thou be any more.” Is that clear?

It’s so plain! But it can be
readily distorted if you want to.

And “the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be burned up.”

This earth is going to be
cleansed by fire. “ Peter 3:10.

The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count

slackness; but is longsuffering
to us-ward, not willing that any

should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.” One chance,

you have this life to make a
decision. At the end of this life

you are either in Christ or you are
not in Christ. If you are in Christ

you have life, if you are not
in Christ you don’t have life.

They “shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the

resurrection of life; and they
that have done evil, unto the

resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:29. Is that plain? I think it’s

very plain. “For the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised

incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. For this corruptible must

put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality.

…then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is

swallowed up in victory.”
1 Corinthians 15:52-54.

And then, once sin has been
removed, sinners have been removed,

demons have been removed
forever, God recreates the planet.

“And I saw a new heaven and a new
earth: for the first heaven and the first

earth were passed away.” Revelation 21:
. “And God shall wipe away all

tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither

sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain; for the

former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:4.

So rather than being in heaven
and seeing the wicked burn for all

eternity so that you can be
delighted by their suffering,

there’s no such sick doctrine in
the Bible, that’s a doctrine of

paganism, and it comes all the way
from Babylon and is taught in the

world and believed in the world
by virtually every religious system

including main line Christianity.
And mainline Christianity has gone

so far as to bring in pagan
encrustations so that in the

Cathedrals of the world you
are walking into pagan temples of

death. The worship of Anubis
is not the worship of Christ.

The two are mutually exclusive,
and Christ promises that even if you

are sad, there will be tears right
up until this moment, Christ will

wipe the tears off your eyes,
and then there will be peace and

happiness and no more sin on
this planet. That’s the biblical

teaching on death. Now tomorrow we
can deal with the New Age Movement,

and then we can look at these
fantastic manifestations that we

have today. I will show you videos
tomorrow, I will show you things

that you probably never heard of
before. And I will show you things

as to who these people actually
worship because they mention him by

name, and I’m not talking
about Mickey mouse people.

I’m talking about the prominent
people of this world, don’t miss

tomorrow’s lectures, and come and
look at the deception that Satan

has prepared for the last days.
But if you believe what was on the

screen tonight and what was in the
Bible, you will see the deception

for what it is. May the Lord bless
you as you ponder these things, and

even if you didn’t fully grasp it
all, come again tomorrow and let us

look at the deceptions. We’re going
into the events of the last days

now, these are going to
be thunderous lectures.

Thank you for
coming, God bless you.
