A MUST READ!
This is a very hard subject for a lot of people. None of us want to believe we could actually go to hell. This impacted me very much.
This story to me, is so scary, but I find it undeniably terribly truthful. I've done a lot of research on this and many times people explain the experiences in very similar ways. I have done my own research. I don't hold a PhD, but when I'm interested in something, my brain goes into computer-style memory mode! (I have also studied Heaven.)
Hell was originally made for the devil & the fallen angels, not man. We weren't even supposed to die. We weren't created to experience such loss, that's why it physically hurts sometimes when our loved ones pass on. Ahhh...it always goes back to the Garden...Adam & Eve were not supposed to die. That's why after they disobeyed God, there were Angels guarding the Tree of Life, so they could not eat from it & live forever in a fallen world on earth. So when they were very old, God let their physical bodies die & their spirits went to Heaven.
In one of the accounts in this book, the big ugly demon that was there to physically torture, was described by another person with hauntingly similar characteristics. I've heard the screaming recorded (by accident) by scientists who were drilling into the earth's core. It was so unimaginable. There are so many similar accounts by so many different people, it's unnerving. (sp?)
God made the Universe, the Cosmos, etc. He can show any of us WHAT He wants WHEN He wants. Chasm or no Chasm. We tend to put limits on God because we have finite minds & He is infinite. I fully believe in scripture, but I feel it does no good to say Mr. Wiese's account couldn't have happened, that's putting God in a box. Also, He will never do anything contrary to His character... I don't mean to offend, so if I did, please forgive me.
I wish this book wasn't true, but if you could hear this man speak, like I did, you would understand that he is not a person making this up, he's not at all about 'hype' and is not the type of person that is doing this for money.
About the 'no one could ever be good enough to get to Heaven' as far as the author's comments go, I would like to comment on this part. In the future there will be a greater division between the people who are going to be drawn to the light and the peolpe that will be drawn to the darkness, so to speak. The pure will become purer and those who are not will become increasingly more evil. There will be an ever growing visible distinction. I believe that is the point the author is making there.
We all have to walk out our salvation with fear and trembling, the Bible says...I don't like that, but it's true. Not that we're to fear God, but realize He is loving, AND Holy & Just. He will be our Judge someday. He cannot let people who love Him half-heartedly enter Heaven, or it will be filled with sin, just like on earth...it wouldn't be Heaven at all. We will have to be FULLY devoted to Him before we die.
I'm running out of space, so...may God keep you in the palm of His hand. Please don't let the enemy of our souls deceive you. Read Matthew 25:31-46 & my favorites: Rev 3:20-22 & Psa 139:17-18. Shalom: may all go well with you, be blessed & be made whole in every way! Those who look forward to His appearing keep themselves pure, just as He is pure. He is coming soon!
