Hello everybody, it's minister tall23 back in their video. This is another video on the basic doctrines of the Bible in this video
I'm going to be talking about the judgment of death and hell
We believe that the punishment for our sins is death in which one who dies is brought down into a fiery place of torment
Known as hell and that also one day all those who are in hell who have died in their sins shall also face
What is called the second death also known as the lake of fire in Romans chapter 6 verse 23?
It is written for the wages of sin is death. No a wage is something which we earn
It's a payment for the things which we have done as a result of our wickedness
The only thing that we are worthy of is death. That is what we deserve for our sins
Now this is not only talking about physical death
But the scriptures teach that there is also a death of the soul and not just a death of the body as it's written
Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 20 the soul that sin it shall die
In fact the moment that we first sinned in our life
We had already died
Remember that the Lord said unto Adam that he would die in the day that he ate of the fruit of the tree of the
Knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden that was indeed correct as soon as Adam disobeyed God his soul died
And he was condemned already for his sins
It is written Romans chapter 7 verse 9 to 11 for I was alive without the law once
But when the commandment came sin revived and I died and the commandment which was ordained to life
I found to be unto death for sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and by it slew me
Even though Paul was still alive in the flesh. He was alive in his physical body on this earth
Inwardly he had already died the moment that he first sinned
The weakness of our flesh causes us to give in to our sins and slays us
Already all of mankind is condemned to death because of their transgression of the laws of the perfect and holy God
As it's written in second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 14 for the love of Christ constrain with us
Because we thus judge that if one died for all then we're all dead
All in the world are already dead in their trespasses and sins
when somebody sins the first time in their life their soul has already died as
Explained in the last video all have sinned and there's not a just man upon earth that do with good and sin if not
Everybody's a sinner and therefore everybody is inwardly dead
Therefore when the body dies the soul already being dead descends into a place which is known in the Bible as hell
Now notice the following scripture, which is a prophecy of the final judgment in Revelation chapter 20 verse 13
It says and the sea gave up the dead which are in it and death and hell delivered up the dead
Which were in them and they were judged every man according to his works
So note that at this point it is stated that the dead are in a place called death and hell and that they are
Delivered out of that place at the final judgment
This is because as soon as a person dies without Christ prior to the final judgment
They descend into a place known as hell hell is the abode of those who are dead both physically and spiritually
Jesus spoke about a man who went to hell and described it as a place of fire and torment in Luke chapter 16 verse 22 to
25
Jesus said and it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom
The rich man also died and was buried and in hell
He lift up his eyes being in
Torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom and he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus
That he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame
But Abraham said son remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth thy good things and likewise Lazarus evil things
But now he is comforted and thou are tormented
Notice the details which Christ mentions here as soon as the rich man died
The very next statement is that he lived up his eyes in hell as he was in torments
This rich man says in verse 24 that the torment is a torment of flame in fire
The dead are punished for their sins in this place known as hell all who die in their sins will one day face this place
Of torment known as hell in flames of fire
Then at the end of time as record in the book of Revelation the dead will one day be delivered out of hell
However, the punishment has not ended in Revelation chapter 20 verse 14 to 15 is written and death and hell were cast into the lake
Of fire. This is the second death and whosoever was not found written the book of life was cast into the lake of fire
It goes into even more detail about this place in the very next chapter
Stating in Revelation chapter 21 verse 8
but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whore mongers and
Sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone
Which is the second death?
No matter what sin it is all sins are enough to condemn us to hell and eventually this place called the lake of fire
It's taught in the scriptures that whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offended one point is guilty of all all
Transgression of God's law is sin and sin itself is what slays us and brings us down to hell
Therefore all the world is naturally on their way to hell and eventually the lake of fire
Which is called the second death in this place
they will burn forever and ever as it's written in Revelation chapter 14 verse 9 to 11 and
the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice if any man worship the beast in his image and
Receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation
And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke
With their torment ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast in his image
And whosoever receiveth the mark of his name
Jesus said at the time of the end he would send to the unsaved in Matthew 24 verse or Matthew 25 verse
41 then shall I say and say also unto them on the left hand depart from me. He cursed into everlasting fire
Prepared for the devil and his angels the fire and brimstone within the lake of fire is not temporary
It's everlasting meaning it does not end but lasts forever in the same passage
Which I just read in verse 46 Jesus calls it everlasting punishment the punishment for our sins is hell in the lake of fire
Everlasting means something which does not end so the
Punishment in the lake of fire never ends these people will be in this place forever and ever
this is the eventual fate of all the world who remain in their sins and
Everybody's a sinner and everybody is dead as a punishment for their sins. This is what the Bible teaches
Thank you everybody for watching and goodbye
