A Divine REVELATION OF HELL

Chapter 4 More Pits

The next night Jesus and I went again into the right leg of hell.  I saw as before the love Jesus had for the souls that are lost in hell.  And I felt His love for me and for all those who were on earth.

"Child," He said to me, "it is not the Father's will that anyone perish.  Satan deceives many, and they follow him.  But God is forgiving.  He is a God of love.  If these had truly come unto the Father and repented, He would have forgiven them." Great tenderness covered Jesus' face as He spoke.

Again we walked among the flaming pits and passed by more people in the torments I described earlier.  My Lord, my Lord, such horrors! I thought.  On and on we walked past many, many souls burning in hell.

All along the pathway burning hands reached out to Jesus.  There were only bones where the flesh should have been-a grayish mass with burning and decayed flesh hanging in shreds.  Inside each frame of their skeleton form was a dirty-gray mist-soul caught inside a dry skeleton forever.  I could tell by their cries that they felt the fire, the worms, the pain, the hopelessness.  And their cries filled my soul with a grief so great I cannot describe it.  If only they had listened, I thought, they would not be here.

I knew that the lost in hell had all their senses.  They remembered all that was ever told them.  They knew there was no way out of the flames and that they were lost forever.  Yet, without hope, they still hoped as they cried out to Jesus for mercy.

We stopped at the next pit.  It was exactly like all the others.  Inside it was the form of a woman, which I knew by her voice.  She cried out to Jesus for deliverance from the flames.

Jesus looked on the woman with love and said, "While you were on earth, I called you to come to Me.  I pleaded with you to get your heart right with I Me before it was too late.  I visited you many times in the midnight hour to tell you of My love.  I wooed! you, loved you and drew you to Me by My Spirit.

"Yes Lord,' you said, 'I will follow You,' With your lips you said you loved Me, but your heart did not mean it.  I knew where your heart was.  I often sent my messengers to you to tell you to repent of your sins and come to Me, but you would not hear Me.  I wanted to use you to minister to others, to help others to find Me.  But you wanted the world and not Me.  I called you, but you would not hear Me, nor would you repent of your sins."

The woman said to Jesus, "You remember, Lord, how I went to church and was a good woman.  I joined the church.  I was a member of Your church.  I knew Your call was on my life.  I knew I had to obey that call at all costs, and I did."

Jesus said, "Woman, you are still full of lies and sin.  I called you, but you would not hear Me! True, you were a member of a church, but being a church member did not get you to heaven.  Your sins were many, and you did not repent.  You caused others to stumble at My Word.  You would not forgive others when they hurt you.  You pretended to love and serve Me when you were with Christians, but when you were away from Christians, you lied, cheated and stole.  You gave heed to seducing spirits and enjoyed your double life.  You knew the straight and narrow way."

"And," Jesus said, "you also had a double tongue.  You talked about your brothers and sisters in Christ.  You judged them and thought you were holier than they, when there was gross sin in your heart.  This I know, you would not listen to My sweet Spirit of compassion.  You judged the outside of a person, without regard to the fact that many were children in the faith.  You were very hard.

"Yes, you said you loved Me with your lips, but your heart was far from Me.  You knew the ways of the Lord and you understood.  You played with God, and God knows all things.  If you had sincerely served God, you would not be here today.  You cannot serve Satan and God at the same time."
