Jesus is the Author of Hell, the Preacher of Hell, and the One
who threatens humans with endless hell fire’s torments.
The conclusion that anyone who reads the New Testament Gospels
can only be: Jesus believed there was a literal Hell, Jesus
warned of a literal Hell, and Jesus threatened humans with
eternal conscious torment in a furnace of fiery wrath from an
Almighty and Holy God. Bottom line:
Jesus Authenticates Hell’s Horrors
Jesus speaks more of Hell than anyone else in the Bible, and
more than all the Scripture writers combined. He also describes
Hell’s horrors, and does so in more terrifying terms than all
the Old Testament Prophets & Judges, and the New Testament
Apostles combined.
The Hell Jesus repeatedly and vividly describes was not some
earthly condition of great pain or suffering to be endured; nor
was it some temporary place of purging sins.
Jesus boldly warned of a place of “unquenchable fire” (Mk.
9:43), where humans would be tormented in the next life (Luke
16:28), and where they would wail and gnash their teeth forever
as they endured “eternal punishment” (Mt. 25:30, 46).
Jesus threatened people with Hell from start to finish in His
ministry. If He had not, it probably would have been easy for us
throughout the centuries to think the Apostles & Prophets may
have gotten it wrong. Eternal, conscious, endless torment is
impossible to think about clearly. It revulses our sense of
reasoning, overpowers our mental processing, deadens our sense
of understanding, and then overloads us.
Hell is real, horrible, and very much a topic for Christ's
ministry. Before we launch into the vivid lessons in Revelation
about Hell, we will travel through the best source on the topic.
Jesus Christ is the supreme authority on Hell. He is also the
clearest and most profuse teacher on the topic. No other writer
of Scripture speaks as often, or as deeply on the doctrines of
Hell that our Lord Jesus Christ.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Introduction
1. 0:29 {Why Didn’t Jesus Mention Paul?} Hello, I am a
Christian, and it's been important to me to understand why the
Lord Jesus didn't mention to the apostles or anyone that Paul
would be coming to enlighten the Way for His Church. This
question hasn't been addressed in any of the studies I've
researched, nor by any of the pastors I listen to. But isn't
this question a most serious matter, since Paul wrote the
majority of our New Testament?
2. 6:45 {Is God Male?} Is God a male?
3. 10:08 {About the Woman of Tekoa & Banishing} How can someone
be banished, and yet not cast out from God? I’m referring to
what the woman of Tekoa said in 2 Samuel 14: 14. Is it only
within that context, or can it be applied transcendently?
4. 17:34 {About OCD, Vows, & Fear} I’ve been struggling with OCD
vows recently (such as, if I don’t say this in prayer, I’m not
saved). Many places online say to let it go, and that you can’t
make a vow out of fear. How can I look at this biblically?
5. 22:39 {Are Souls Eternal?} Is the soul as an eternal entity
more of a Greek philosophical idea, or confirmed in Scripture?
Do you have any biblical references for an eternal soul?
6. 25:20 {Did Anyone in “The Flood” Go to Heaven?} Do you think
any of the people that died in the flood (above the age of
accountability) may have been saved or will not go to Hell?
7. 29:01 {About Natural Revelation & Salvation} You've said
people who've never heard of Jesus need to respond to natural
revelation to be saved. Can you give an example of how a woman
growing up in Saudi Arabia would respond to natural revelation?
8. 33:55 {About the “Mysteries of God” in Ephesians} Please
explain what is meant by the mysteries of God in Ephesians 3:5.
9. 38:09 {About the Beginning of the New Covenant} Did the New
Covenant start when the Temple, which housed the Ark of the
Covenant, was destroyed?
10. 44:07 {About Miracles & False Religions} You've said
miracles in other religions are false signs from Satan. Why
would other religions have reason to think these signs are from
Satan? Couldn't a Muslim say the same thing to a Christian?
11. 48:47 {Do We Have to Attend Church?} Is it OK to not attend
church at all? I live in Russia and Christianity here is very
unbiblical. I’ve tried a lot of churches and I don’t feel
comfortable there.
12. 50:53 {Is it a Sin to Depict God?} I’m a new believer. I
watched a Christian cartoon with my son, and it depicted God as
a Santa-looking man. My son asked if we were breaking the 2nd
commandment. Is it a sin to depict God in any way? (Exodus 20:4)
13. 56:07 {Do those who Seek God Really Find Him?} The Bible
says that those who diligently seek God will find Him. What
about the Muslims, Hindus, and all the people who are diligently
seeking God but never find Jesus and stay in their religion?
14. 1:02:31 {Does God Forgive Repeated Sin?} If you struggle
with sin and there is true contrition but you still keep
repeating the same sin and asking for forgiveness, will God
still forgive you?
15. 1:05:59 {Advice for the Timing of Baptism} I recently
converted to Christianity. Our church does baptisms once a year,
but my husband has Covid and can't attend. I want him to be
there, but I also want to get baptized ASAP. What should I do?
16. 1:07:12 {About a “Gap” in Scripture} Can you explain the gap
between the early churches in the New Testament and the first
Protestants like Martin Luther?
17. 1:11:32 {Men of Valor Living in Sin?} Why does the Lord call
Gideon a mighty man of Valor when he had many wives? Was this
always a sin? I'm confused about this, honestly.
18. 1:16:59 {Where Does Sin Nature Come From?} If God knits us
in our mothers’ wombs, where do we get our sin nature?
19. 1:19:54 {Defending the Trinity in 1 Cor.} I believe in the
Trinity, but there is someone who has used 1 Corinthians 15:28
against the doctrine. Could you please explain this for me?
20. 1:23:18 {About Young Ambassadors Living for Christ} How can
young people be good ambassadors for Christ when we also sin?
How do we make sure we do not conform to this world?

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Introduction
1. 0:29 {About the Satanic Temple’s 7 Tenets} The Satanic Temple
has been gaining popularity online due to their “7 tenets” they
believe people should live by. Many people see these tenets as
positive and morally good, and are being drawn into their
organization as a result. What are your thoughts about this?
2. 13:31 {Does Isaiah Disprove the Trinity?} Does Isaiah 9:6
disprove the Trinity since it calls Jesus the Father? many
Oneness/Unitarians use this verse to support Oneness/modalism.
3. 18:19 {About our Souls/Spirits} What exactly is a soul or a
spirit?
4. 20:14 {Biblical Dating Advice} What things should a high
school student consider while deciding if or how to date a godly
woman?
5. 23:17 {Should we Always Say “God Willing”?} What does James
4: 13 mean? Should we always say “God willing” when making or
talking about our plans?
6. 27:03 {About the “Doctrines of Demons”} Can you give more
examples about the “doctrines of demons” mentioned in 1 Timothy
4:1?
7. 32:27 {About Becoming a Disciple} How do you become a
disciple in light of Matthew 28: 19? Can you be unsaved yet
still a disciple? I haven’t found the Greek word
(μαθητευω) elsewhere.
Seems to normally be μαθητης
(ex. Acts 11: 29; 19: 30; 21:4, 16).
8. 35:12 {When we Should and Shouldn’t Witness} How do we know
when to speak up about the truth of Christ vs. when not to? I am
grieved by what I see being claimed as “truth” today, but I
don’t want to just sit back and say “I’m not supposed to judge.”
9. 40:11 {About the Fear of God and Dinosaurs} Does the "fear"
of the Lord mean "scared"? If not, why is "fear” still used in
today’s Bibles? Translation problem? Confused here! And were
dinosaur bones/fossils created by the devil to cast doubt?
10. 44:42 {About Denominations} Do you think denominations are a
“concession” from God in that He knew we would disagree on
doctrine, or is it more like differing members of the body
reaching different people in different ways?
11. 48:58 {Responding to Mormon Arguments} What is your best
answer to a Mormon responding to "There is only ONE God" by
saying "Yes, only one God for US. Only one God we are to worship
& that’s OUR Heavenly Father but there are others elsewhere"?
12. 55:29 {What is the Mark of the Beast?} What is the mark of
the beast as described in Revelation 13? I’ve heard and read so
many things, and I’m not sure how to make sense of it.
13. 1:03:47 {Is it Biblical? Jesus in our Hearts} Do we have
"Jesus in our hearts" as believers? What about worship songs
about Jesus in the room? John 16:5-10, Acts 1:9-11 and basically
all of Revelation seems to say Jesus is in Heaven for now.
14. 1:08:43 {Why did God Allow our Sin Nature?} Frank Turek said
(paraphrasing) that in Heaven we will have free will, but we
won't sin because we won't have a sin nature. If that's the
case, why didn't God just make us like that on Earth?
15. 1:13:49 {How to Comfort Grieving Friends} I lost a good
friend of over 20 yrs. He was recovering from a heroin
addiction. He called his parents saying he couldn't take it
anymore and he shot himself. What can I say to comfort them?
16. 1:16:28 {Learning about Biblical Heroes} Some biblical
characters are heroes in the faith, but not mentioned much in
the Bible (people like Enoch and Melchizedek). How can I find
out more about what was so special about their relationship with
God?
17. 1:19:31 {About Christ’s Return} Why did Jesus mention
eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building, and
getting married in Luke 17?
18. 1:25:09 {About the Day of the Lord} How do you interpret the
“day of the Lord”? Do you understand it as a single day, or do
you see it as the whole tribulation period? People seem to have
differing views on this.
19. 1:26:33 {About the Vine & Branches, Eternal Security} Just
wanted clarity on John 15:1-8. Is Jesus talking about people
losing their salvation? Or people walking away from Him and the
faith?
20. 1:31:37 {About the LE of Mark} You've said that we should
leave in the longer ending of Mark's Gospel because removing it
could upset some Christians. If this is so, then should we be
including things like the Comma Johanneum because removing that
has upset some Christians? Where do you believe we should draw
the line, and why?
Here's that video giving a biblical evaluation of suicide.

PERSECUTION OF BELIEVERS[/center]

A Short History of Early Church Persecution
I’d like to give you a sanctified mind’s analysis of Church
History: something that they could never get on Google.
The reason I share with you the background details of each
passage we study is to show it to you through the lens of
Scripture, and with my own lifetime analysis of these facts,
what is vital to increase our understanding. That is actually
one of the elements of expository preaching, which is my
lifelong pursuit.
Church History records three notable waves of persecution from
the Roman Emperors:
Wave #1: Emperor Nero (54-68 AD) This persecution was sporadic
and limited mainly to Rome, sweeping up Paul and Peter to
execution.
Wave #2: Emperor Domitian (81-96 AD) This persecution was wider
than Nero’s, across some of the Roman Empire’s provinces, and
hitting both the church at Smyrna and exiling John to Patmos.
Wave #3: Emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD) This persecution was
the greatest of any Roman Emperor against Christ's Church.
Diocletian, who was one of the most administrative of all Rome’s
rulers, began a systematic purge of Christianity, through an
Empire-wide eradication of the Church, and he almost succeeded.
(10 total: 250 years!)
Nero, (54-68) (Paul ✨ beheaded; Peter ✨ crucified
upside down.)
Domitian, (95-96); (John ✨ exiled)
Trajan, (104-117); (Ignatius burned at the stake)
Marcus Aurelius (161-180); (Polycarp martyred)
Septimus Severus, (200-211); (He killed Irenaeus)
Maximinus, (235-237); (He killed Ursula and Hippolytus
Decius, (249-251)
Valerian, (257-260)
Aurelian, (270-275)
Diocletian (303-313) (Worst of all)
(181002; REV 1-5-5)

Why Did Pastor Chuck Predict the Rapture? SEE: Reckless Propheti

[center]Why Did Pastor Chuck Predict the Rapture?: The Mark
Series pt 55 (13:28-30)[/center]

I've had a number of people asking me about when pastor Chuck
Smith predicted the rapture. It's an uncomfortable topic for a
Calvary Chapel pastor, which I am, and for someone who looks up
to and deeply appreciates pastor Chuck, as I do. This is because
Chuck Smith is the founder of Calvary Chapel and I can say that
his ministry has had a big, positive impact in my own life. But
I think we should talk about it for a few specific reasons.
1) It did happen.
2) It has not been publicly dealt with, to my knowledge. In
fact, it appears as though it has been denied.
3) My own ministry has led many people to Calvary Chapels and I
feel obligated to talk about this because it's a significant
issue in our past and I owe it to those who are or will attend
Calvary Chapel churches because of my influence.
4) It wasn't just mentioned in one message. Pastor Chuck
predicted it in multiple books and over the course of years.
5) It's based on a misinterpretation of Scripture which is[b]
still common among pastors today.[/b] It just so happens that
this passage of Scripture is the one we are covering today in
our verse by verse study in the Gospel of Mark.
6) Many pastors, in my own movement as well as beyond, have
gotten in the habit of playing fast and loose with predictions
related to the rapture, the tribulation and the second coming
and I think that if we look honestly about mistakes of the past
we can be warned not to fall into the same mistakes in the
future. And if my own understanding is correct, we can expect to
see a great deal of reckless prophetic speculation in the years
to come. We would do well to be prepared for it.
I really should have mentioned that in Mark 11 the fig tree
being cursed is thought by some to specially represent Israel.
Here is my response to that. The fig tree there is used to make
an example that relates to Israel or the Temple but I don’t
think that’s because fig trees in general represent Israel (see
my survey of its usage in the Old Testament from the video).
Also, the context in Mark 13 shows Jesus is using the budding of
the fig tree to refer to the two signs He mentions and not using
fig trees in general as a representation of the nation Israel
existing. In addition to this, the parallel passage in Luke
shows that Jesus said “the fig tree and all the trees”. In other
words, even if a fig tree might specially represent Israel in
some cases it didn’t in this passage because all the trees
aren’t fig trees.
This is part 55 of the Mark Series, going verse by verse through
the Gospel of Mark. Today we are in chapter 13:28-30.
Feel free to use my videos in your own gatherings as an aid to
studying Scripture.
