PREFACE SUMMARY

Beloved, what actions would you take if you were in the position of God and your most valued prized creation was in total rebellion against you, rejecting your authority and choosing to live in opposition to your will? The seriousness of such a situation is beyond our comprehension. As a perfect being, would you make the necessary corrections to realign them with your purpose and will?

Let’s say that you are a perfect being who is flawless in all your ways, and you choose to ignore the rebellion and bring correction to those causing severe hurt to others. Would you continue to be recognized as a Creator worthy of worship and admiration by your creation? What do you do with the ones who think they are the universe and worship the creature more than the creator, choosing in their selfish minds to be in total rebellion against you for all eternity?

The sin of Adam and Eve in the garden proves that human choices have lasting consequences. If Hell were merely a dream, it would undermine the seriousness with which people should approach moral decisions regarding their lives.

Daily news reports and social media show that the majority of people today are in rebellion against God and anything connected to him, as nation after nation living on this planet is turning their back on God, as if He does not exist and doesn't even care about His creation. Many today are hasty to make jokes about hell and claim that they have lived their lives here on earth in hell, believing that this will ensure their entry into God's Heaven, while others contend that both Heaven and hell exist here on earth.

Beloved, in conclusion, let me say that throughout the Holy Scriptures, we find that Jesus preached more about Hell than he did about Heaven. The statistics before COVID revealed that every three hours, 26,700 people were entering an eternity they were unprepared for. I trust that you will receive this message with an open heart and that the blessed Holy Spirit will convict and encourage you to consider the value of one soul going into eternity unprepared with no hope of escape from eternal damnation. As for me, I have 26,700 reasons why I do not have time to get involved in church gossip, including church strife when lost humanity is slipping through our fingers.
