BORN TO BURN!

Do you know that some people, where destined to burn in Hell even BEFORE THEY WERE BORN?! 

YES! I KNOW! What blasphemy! Arrant nonsense! Impossible! God is a Merciful God! God is not wicked! God is not this and God is not that! 

BUT! You have to know the truth, and that is exactly why I started this blog! To share with you, some open secrets embedded in the Bible, revealed to me by God's Spirit. Before I continue with my 'blasphemy' (LOL), you have to know one thing. The Bible you carry everyday to Church! That book which lies in your cupboard until the day of the next church service is a LIVING BOOK! And I don't mean this 'figuratively'! Your Bible is actually alive! It is more alive than me and you! The Bible is filled with so many secrets and mysteries. So many of the accounts in the Bible have been 'factualised' by recent scientific discoveries for example, scientists and archaeologists recently discovered a site in the Middle East (some miles off the coast of Israel). It is riddled with Brimstone, Salt, Ash and Sulfuric dust. Its so bare and so barren, nothing, as in NOTHING can grow on it. Even in the Sahara, we see some specs of Cactus and other wild plants but according to their reports, no single atom of life was found in this land. Very striking however was the fact that on this same sites stood human structures, or at least what was left of them! Using high-tech computers and other gadgets, they dated some of the structures to thousands of years ago. There were features of past human life such as Buildings with 90 degree angles, high walls, brazen images, etc on this land. In the end, they concluded it was the land of Sodom... some miles away was also Gomorrah! According to the Blble, God had utterly destroyed these lands by Fire and brimstone from Heaven because of their abominable sins. The evidence was starring them in the face! No one of them could deny this! 

This just goes to show that when you carry your Bible, you're not carrying an ordinary book! You're actually carrying the oldest and most powerful record of the World. I can go on about how science itself has proven the 'factuality' of The Bible with findings such as 'The Lost Day', 'The Face in the Shawl' and plenty others. 

Now, I took you down the first introduction because I need you to understand something. As much as The Bible carries records of the past, it also carries prophecies of the future... note that their 'future' is NOW - our own present generation! 

While going through the book of REVELATION one of those days, I came upon something that broke my heart. Actually had me in tears for an hour or so then depressed for the next couple of days. I decided against my former thought not to share because I believe 'to be fore-warned' is to be 'fore-armed'. If I decided to keep it to myself, God may hold it against me so here. Welcome to the shocking truth of how some are destined to 'BURN'! It is not blasphemy, and everything I will say here, I will support with verses from the Bible. 

I will now bring Revelation 17:8 in 4 different translations:  

New International Version (©2011)The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
English Standard Version (©2001)The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.
Webster's Bible TranslationThe beast that thou sawest, was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.(Courtesy of Biblehub.com)

NOTE THAT THIS EXACT SAME VERSE WAS REPEATED IN REVELATION 13:8! 

I would not go into details about what was transpiring here but it is one of the happenings in the series of post-apocalyptic events that have been prophesied to occur after Jesus comes the second time. I brought Revelation 17:8 to you because of the terrible significance of the second statement within it - 

...The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast

Do you know what the above means?! In simple terms, it means, some people have been omitted from the Book of Life before God created the Earth! It means, some people were destined to NEVER see the gates of Heaven, before even their ancestors were born. The Bible in Revelation 20:15 clearly states that: 

New International Version (©2011)
Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.(Courtesy Biblehub.com) 

So in summary this means that God already actually know those who are coming to live in the Kingdom of Heaven forever. The passage in 2 Timothy 2:19 which says:

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

...just became clearer! THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS! God already knows those who will be coming to be with them. They already know those who will spend eternity in Heaven and those who will languish in the lake of fire! Painful part is they have penned it down in the Book of Life!

As the Bible says,  'God is not an Arthur of confusion' (1 Corinthians 14:33) so I doubt He will write something or command Archangel Gabriel to write something then 4,000 years later tell the Archangel Michael to erase it. I read John Gill's commentary on the above verse and he stated that because God is the 'beginning and the end', 'the first and the last', He knows our ending from our beginning and our beginning from end, He already wrote the Book of Life. He did not wait to the last minute. 

Those who heard the word of God and worked conscientiously in it, He already knew! Those who heard His word but refused and rejected, He already knew! Those who heard His Word but believe there is no God, He already knew!

So when next time you go to your friend to talk about Jesus and he rebuffs you or tells you "f*** that s****, I'm atheist! There is no God!" or she says "forget Jesus, let me enjoy my life here on Earth first", don't bother yourself. It probably is that he is one of those who have been omitted. It is the Spirit that convinces, not man, so some particular people the Devil has so blinded their eyes and seared that heart, it would take only divine intervention to pull them out of the path to eternal destruction. 

Dear reader, if we say we believe in God, we must also believe His Word so you have to believe this exposition today! We who know the Lord and know His ways, have to make our ways straight! Let us try as much as possible to avoid EVERY SINGLE THING we know God hates. Know that you cannot know every single thing God hates except you study your Bible conscientiously! Let us strive to live a sinless life! The most minute act of feature that will lead us to hell let us avoid! They will call you different names - extremist, religious fanatic, deeper life, 'our righteousness' etc, but the fact is this, when you avoid those small things (and the big ones too), you are rescuing yourself from eternal damnation.

Non-stop burning and torment in the 'lake of fire' OR Non-stop enjoyment in the 'Kingdom of Heaven', the choice is yours! 

Remember:

"LIFE IS TOO SHORT

ETERNITY IS TOO LONG

HELL IS TOO HOT"
