The idea of being destroyed makes me sick. Now that I've tasted life, the thought of being resurrected to learn I am to be destroyed for eternity makes me shake. Christ have mercy on me, your blood is all I have.
Looseel Scott Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
This sermon is worth a month in meditation. Self reflection alone would be many sleepless nights of repentance. Thank you so much; God gifts us the knowledge and the awareness when we need them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. - Revelation 20:10
Beast is a man, false prophet is a man (people) " And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." So if these folks are going to the same place the devil, beast and false prophet are going. That does not sound like complete destruction to me.
Mark 9:47-48 [47]If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell, [48]where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
I really appreciate the unpopular and uncommon teachings that you share on the channel, Lex. I love getting to think more about God’s justice, love, and His expectations for His people. God bless. 🙂
I have to tell you that being raised by the "churches of today " has always brought me a discernment in my heart and I never knew why. It always felt as mankind's way of selling God mainly by fear, I truly believe the Spirit led me to your channel and since watching it I now understand the word much more clearly than I ever did. All those questions of interpretation I had all my life knowing full well that something wasn't right about it all. Jesus has set a path and put those like you into the correct way to see it. My thankfulness to our Father for leading me to you. The Truth is so simple now. Thank you for taking the time to post your videos as they are great in the ways of Jesus!!! The difference he is making through them is just awesome!!!
Thank God someone is telling this world the truth. I'm one of these old Christians who study the Bible daily because I love Jesus and His Scriptures. Knowledge of the truth will set you so free to keep doing God's great calling He set before me. So many people to witness to with very little workers to spread the word of God. I still don't understand how Jesus had that passion for us sinners...so thrilled He did.
He is incorrect about the will of the Father. This is it: And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40
Thank you so much for this revelation. I struggled with the idea that the second death was eternal torment. I reconciled this idea by telling myself they would all inherit the kingdom at the judgement but your idea of them falling asleep goes in hand perfectly with a vision I've had that lasted many days and nights. I forgot about that vision until you spoke those words. thank you.
I think maybe the torment of Satan and the fallen angels may be eternal (or until the end of all things), because they're spirit beings, and we're told that the Lake of Fire was prepared for them.
Scripture says “& the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever”. When he said there will be no more pain he means for the ones who make it into his kingdom.
This says their smoke ascends forever, not that they are tortured forever. Plus you are contradicting all the other scripture, including Yehusha himself, by claiming there is everlasting torture. The fire and the worms are eternal, not eternal torture.
@@princediamond85 No I called the spirit that influences you, satan. In other words, I spoke to the adversary. You didn't correct anything. You came to start a squabble in a year old thread when you should have minded your business.
Hello Lex. First of all, Thank you for all your teachings. I have learned many things from your videos. However, while we are still on this topic of eternal punishment, kindly clarify for me Revelations 14:9-11 if indeed it will be a one time death. I am still not fully convinced on this argument. Hope to hear from you on this matter specifically.
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. 9 And the streams of Edom[b] shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into sulfur; her land shall become burning pitch. 10 Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. Isiah 34:8-10 The exact same language is used to describe Edoms judgement. Is Edom still burning day and niight in a fire that cant be quenched? Is the smoke still rising forever?
Well said brother Lex. However I think it’s time we address how the idea of eternal punishment came to be. Respectfully, we also have to address if it was caused by error in Scripture. Jesus said the worms don’t die. So that raises the question what are they feeding on if the wicked are completely destroyed. John wrote in the book of revelation the fire is unquenchable. He also wrote how the smoke of their torment rises forever. This again raises the question if the wicked are destroyed completely, what is the need of an empty fiery lake of worms burning forever?
If the wicked are destroyed, then their destruction is sufficient enough to equal the crucifixion of Jesus. No ones destruction will ever equal the horror of the crucifixion of Jesus. Therefore, we must pay the penalty ourselves and no amount of punishment on a sinner will ever match the punishment Jesus received, thus it goes on for eternity.
@@jointheir183 and where do you get the support for your statement that the wicked death will equal crucifixtion of are you just making that up based on your feeling?
..and the adversary said to Eve you surly will not die. People today still believe this first lie. You surly will not die; you will live in heaven or hell for eternity but you surly will not die. Yet, our Creator set forth a choice of life or death. Life or death. Not life in heaven vs eternal life in torment. The wages of sin is death. How does eternal life in hell equate to death? I must say I stand with Lex on this one.
. That has never made sense to me either the thought that you're dead because you're separated from God but you're actually conscious and can feel the pain of the fire in hell just doesn't make sense I don't try to make sense of everything in the word of God because no one can actually say that they have a perfect understanding of God's word but I strongly believe that many Christians come from a catholic religious background that we were taught that if you die and God finds you worthy you will spend eternity in heaven but if you were bad you will spend eternity in hell. I even heard many said that being dead means eternally separated from God but that doesn't hold water because the bible says it is appointed to men to die once and then the judgement that would mean that those that are not believers in Christ when they die in reality they were already dead so they're dying for a second time not once religion is something that satan still uses to keep us bound I can't say that I agree with Lex on everything but he's right on on many subjects and I don't think he's trying to cause division in the body of Christ like so many are doing here on UA-cam but biblically I have to agree with him on this one even though most of the Christians I know believe in eternal punishment I was like them for a long time until I study the subject more in depth and have to conclude when God says you're dead you're dead and is over you no longer aware or conscious of your existence.
@@max41050 The life here on earth is not the same as eternal life afterwards, so of course the death here on earth wont be the same either. Things of the spirit last forever. We are ALL made in Gods' image, therefore we will ALL live after death, the only thing different is where we spend that time and with what father you belong to will determine that. This is 101 basic christianity. I hope this helps a little. :)
This is a very important lesson and I believe it can be used in evangelising to point out to those outside of Yeshua that if they have this misconception about the scriptures, then perhaps they hold more, and they may be inspired to at least seek their own view rather than dismissing the Word based on second hand scorn.
Hey Lex! I enjoyed this video and appreciated your logic and the scripture that backed it up. I was wondering how you deal with the passage in Rev. 14:11, which says "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest..."? The passage (14:9-11) is specifically referring to those who worship the beast. I know that Revelation is full to the brim with symbolism for sure and presents interpretive challenges. But it's one passage that sticks out in my mind as a hurdle with your thinking. Thanks for your time and the effort you put into your explanations!
Michael Henderson ~ Sorry, I know you addressed Lex but still wanted to weigh in: A. Compare Rev 14:11 & Isa 34:10 (same verbiage). B. Observe the setting for both & realize the nature of the [earthly] wrath which is being poured out. C. Don’t get too hung up on English translated phrases like “forever & ever”. The original Hebrew & Greek don’t always mean what you might think, based on interpreted translations. Often they just mean “until the end of such & such” (eg. age, punishment, etc etc). D. The smoke in Isa & Rev rising up & NEVER coming back down does NOT mean the objects themselves never stop burning. Much like an “everlasting punishment” is about the RESULT & not the process of destruction.
Thank you Lex, for your presentation it has so much clarity compared with main stream Christian thought. I confess I also read your book, "Immortal". I would recommend it for those you may fell confused about life after death.
What is your take on revelation 20:10 where it says the devil will be thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and false prophet where they will be tormented day and night forever. Am I missing something? Truly looking to unlearn lies if need be. Thnx
That scripture clearly says the "devil and the false prophet. It doesn't say men. The devil unlike humanity deserves to be tormented forever because of the damage he has caused to creation.
Dennis Dier ohhhh snap! Thanks Dennis. Suggestion to Lex: you should probably have addressed key verses like this one in your vid. Or a better suggestion is to do a follow up vid about this. Because there are quite a few verses in the Bible that talk about being tormented day and night forever. I enjoy your content keep them coming.
and since we are mentioning hell. in the old testament authors say that God will save their soul that is in hell. and many more verses that make hell just a place for the dead. but its not a place for punishment. now when you read in new testament words are added to describe hell like fire. well there are big changes but you have to consider firstly that old testament was written in hebrew and translated old english or whatever kjv is. and new testament was greek to kjv. now you need a concordinance to find out what the original word was. i do have one , you can download them for free by the way. ill give you the original words if you would like them.
I FOUND YOUR GREAT PROGRAM AND I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH MY COMMENT. I WAS BORN AND RAISED A ROMAN CATHOLIC. MY MOM WAS SURE I WOULD BE A NUN. WELL, THAT DID NOT OCCUR. I WENT TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL, NEVER SAW A BIBLE, ONLY MY LITTLE BLACK MISSAL BOOK AND CONFESSION EVERY SATURDAY. WHEN A PRIEST FORGAVE MY SINS I WOULD HAVE TO SAY A THOUSAND HAIL MARY'S AND THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR NOT OBEYING MY PARENTS. INTERNALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I FOUND A KJV BIBLE AND READ AND READ. TALK ABOUT UNLEARNING, I AM THE ONE. THERE ARE MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE RC CHURCH AND I PRAY THEY FIND THEIR WAY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A GREAT PROGRAM!
It must take a long time to judge several billion people. Will they be all destroyed by fire together or will the Stalins and the Hitlers and the Maos and the Pol Pots (ad infinitum) have to suffer more than athiestic Granny with her cats?
God Himself comes to earth, lives a perfect life, is beaten, mocked, spit upon, rejected, forced to carry His cross, and hangs naked on it for me to be forgiven of my sins. It is trampling on all of that to say it is too harsh to send an unrepentant sinner into eternal torment. I deserve eternal torment much, much more than Christ deserved to bear the wrath of my sin.
Joint Heir ~ Great point about God’s love for us! Remember God is also wise & just. Yeshua DIED a substitutionary DEATH for us. He was NOT endlessly tortured. Our Messiah went through excruciating pain to save us & He wouldn’t hypocritically give humans a far worse punishment than the one He Himself had to endure. That’s how honorable & great He is! He leads by example & so He’s able to relate (Heb ch2&ch4). - Think about it. ~ Shalom!
@@messiahmedia2016 You do not understand the Holiness of God. You are overlooking the perfect spotless Lamb of God. It was a perfect, holy, loving God that shed His blood. Any small amount of punishment God would endure for sin is eternally worse punishment than a sinner who has declared war on God burning for eternity.
@@messiahmedia2016 Through His Word and His life we can understand that He is sinless and cannot be in the presence of sin and must punish sin. Do you doubt God is holy? I would say you don't. Did God deserve any second of His torture? Do you believe sinners holy? I would say you don't. Then any amount of punishment they receive is far less than what God received on the cross. Again, it is not about the length of the punishment, but rather the holiness of the one being punished.
Outer darkness, the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever and the second Resurrection shows a new immortal body. Jeremiah shows the resurrection of a physical body of the wicked and Isaiah shows that the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Perhaps you are severely mistaken.
Thanks for all your informative insight into what the scriptures actually are conveying. But why then does it say in Revelation that whosoever receives the mark of the beast will be tormented day and night and the smoke of their torment will ascend up forever and ever? This has always puzzled me. Can you please give me a comprehensive understanding of what this actually portrays??
It also says in many, many places that those cast into the lake of fire will be tormented forever. After the 2nd death, we who are in heaven will never see or hear of sin again and neither will we remember because the former things will have passed away. Matt.25:31-46. Mark 9:42-48. And many other places both in the Old and New Testaments.
The smoke of their torment is evidence of a fire that burned not currently burning. Which smokes more, a roaring fire, or a fire that has been extinguished? It's called the 2nd death for a reason. They're punished and then dead forever.
Timothy Piatt understand, the mark of the beast is simply an expression of the people who will not, despite their free will, accept, knor ever accept every moment of every day YHWH through Messiah, our teacher and way to YHWH eternally. this acceptance is the foundation stone within you and the world, filled with Holy Spirit a place of milk and honey, the building block of the new temple that has no material bricks. Within you, within us all is the stream, and collectively, the river of life within you and us All. A chapter for you All, here and now, Psalm 46❤🙏👣🌈🔯
May Jesus Christ give you strength and your children guidance, praise the good Lord Jesus, worship the mighty loving God, our Father who waits for us in heaven, Amen
*Fantastic* description using scriptures to explain what this is. I just watched a video where a guy said Christian’s stand before God at the Great White Throne judgment 🤦🏼♀️ He read no verses as you did. Most don’t understand this plus, Christian’s only stand before God at the bema seat and our works is judged, but it for rewards. Some will lose rewards, but we aren’t condemned for our sins because Christ took that on the cross. I think this confusion of these two judgment seats is caused by the King James Version and others for not clarifying the word judgment in its verses. People read “judgment” in 2 Corinthians 5:10 and Romans 14:10 and freak out. When that won’t be a type of judgement for condemnation of sins or salvation. There’s two different judgment seats for two different groups: believers and unbelievers. Thank you and God Bless💜
2 corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. For we all must stand , does this not also apply to those that are also good , since we can't judge our own hearts rightfully?
2 Cor 5:10 says that we will all stand before the judgement SEAT of Christ. This is not the same as the great white THRONE judgement. We are SEATED with Christ, and we will be judged BY Him for what we have done here on earth, good or bad. The great white throne judgement is for the unbelievers. ;)
Thank you for this video! It was very informative...but i am still somewhat confused about "the afterlife" will you please explain the scripture that mentions "WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH" i think that the scripture is Luke 13:28 please help me to understand this because this sounds like an ongoing neverending event...i am searching for The Most High!...HELLLP!!!
I suggest letting the bible define itself. It seems that the common usage of the idiom of gnashing one’s teeth is anger. Weeping and gnashing of teeth would therefore seem to be indicative of sadness and anger. Perhaps there may even be weeping because one is besides themselves with anger. Job 16:9 - Job talking about God’s apparent anger and hatred towards him: His anger has torn me and hunted me down. He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My adversary glares at me. Psalm 35:16 - King David referring to his enemies: Like godless jesters at a feast. They gnashed at me with their teeth. Psalm 112:10: The wicked will see it and be vexed. He will gnash his teeth and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish. Acts 7:54 - Describing the unbelieving Jews and their angry reaction to Stephen: When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him (NIV). In each of these instances, gnashing of teeth represented anger, not pain or suffering. In one passage, it was God himself who was said to gnash his teeth!
The problem with placing the Great White Throne Judgement after a lapse of 1000 years, is that in a similar passage in Daniel, the Beast is still alive. See first Daniel 7:9-10 (Thrones set in place, Books are opened). Then Daniel 7:11 (Beast slain and thrown into the fire). Now go to Revelation 19:20-21 (Beast captured, thrown into the fire at the Second Coming). Then Revelation 20 (the end of the Millennium must therefore coincide with the Second Coming, so the events of chapter 20 must start back in time from where chaper 19 ends).
I never thought about it, but perhaps you are right that the wicked will not be tortured for eternity. The Bible says that those in Christ shall get an incorruptible body and become immortal. It said nothing about the wicked getting an incorruptible body, therefore their body will be as frail as our present body which can be destroyed.
@@spirit_mechanic that is after they are burnt in ashes, ofcourse you will smell them burning, like come on man must you argue about something so clear? When you roast a ghost u smell the hair roasting, so obviously the smell of the billions of bodies burning shall be strong but they shall be dead
Matthew25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Just in case we apply our own understanding as to what eternal means
😲😲😲😲😲 Whattttt???!!?!?!?! This video just blow 🤯🤯🤯 up my mind. I have never heard something like this. wow. wow. But for so many years I have heard that ether you choose eternity in heaven or hell. But to See the hell is not what I thought. 🤯 Interesting teaching.
irisandra hernandez - I recommend buying his book "Immortal". He takes you through the verses and explains the truth of the Judgement and the 2nd death.
@@notbuyingit5698 "What type of God allows people to be tormented FOREVER for roughly 30-40 years of sin??" The same type of God that would allow His Son to live 33 sinless years and pay a cruel, humiliating death for billions of sinners year's of sin. Denying eternal torment for it being too harsh is trampling the blood of Christ. A sinner being tormented for eternity for years of sinning and rejecting his creator is no where near the unjust death of Yeshua. I deserve eternal punishment much more than Yeshua deserved the cross.
This sermon is mis-titled. The correct title is "Why I believe in annihilation" His claim is that some have been lied to by telling them that the wicked will be consciously alive forever in a tortured state.
Revelation 14:9-11 Describes those who worship the beast and its image as being tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of angels and the Lamb. The smoke of their torment rises forever and ever, and they have no rest. (This verse does explain eternal torment)
There are 2 Judgment Seats/Thrones written in the Scripture: 1. The Judgment Seat/Throne of Christ... (ref. 2 Corin. 5:9-11 / Romans 14:10)... this is for the CHRISTIAN believers and followers... Christ Jesus will judge them whether they followed and obeyed the WILL/PREROGATIVES of His Father God (YHWH)... 2. The Great White Throne of God's Judgment... (ref. Rev. 20:11-15)... these are for NON-CHRISTIANS and ATHEISTS, they will be judged by God (YHWH) according thru their DEEDS/WORKS/ACTS... Facts and Truth of the Matter, Biblically speaking... Praise be to God through Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen...
All the dead unbeliwvers will have to contend with the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, before they will be raised again to face the WTJ. It is a holding place for purging and purification process.
@@levis137 the rich man was in Hades not yet in the lake of fire. Rev. 20 says the rest of the dead did not rise yet until the thousand years. Where are the dead then. Jesus taught about the outer darkness. Peter taught that Jesus descended to the place of the dead to minister to those in PRISON. So what is unbiblical with what I said? Mercy Killing? is it of God or of satan? Death Penalty? We do have death penalty in our justice system. Presidents can pardon a person sentenced to death.
What do you make of the thousands of testemonies from people around the world who claim to have gone to hell and seen people in eternal torment. Do you have a video that deals with this? Thank you for your reply.
Lex definitely has a video on this subject. I think that is how i found his channel because i've seen someone who claimed they have been to hell and back. I no longer go to that church.
I agree with Lex in this video about hell/punishment - but my understanding is that the righteous will also be before Jesus's throne. Like Romans 14:10 'for we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.' Or Matthew 25:35 'And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.'
Truth spoken. Yah be praised. Thank you. Purim is approaching....the spirit of Haman (anti Christ) is alive and well, still trying to destroy God's people. Everyone be in prayer and alert.
The best argument for people being tormented in the lake of fire for eternity, is that the people thrown into it have been resurrected with new bodies. The same as those who live forever in God's Kingdom.
However, I do not think the new bodies are the key to eternal life. I think the key to eternal life is is a gift God gives the ones He blesses. So. That arguement falls apart.
Not an ear tickling message, nor should it be...Thank you, Lex. Preach the Word "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Only those found written in the book of life live after the great white throne judgement. If it's only they that are judged, then judgement must mean ordainment. Only those who are not found written in the book of life are not judged. See Rev 20:12.
But the bible says in Revelation 14.11 " And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name". It's very clear that they will be tormented day and night, forever which is why we are thankful for the Gospel. Many other scriptures say it's eternal and if u read the scriptures, it doesn't seem like it ends.
Thank you for the teaching, Lex. I have a question, What version of The Bible should I use, trust & believe? There are so many versions and adaptations, and I know that God's word is surely preserved somewhere and cannot be tainted by human error, I just do not know where to look. Also, I live in a smaller town with a very large Ukranian population, and there aren't many churches I can go to because they are some sort of Catholic or Orthodox church. What kind of church should I go to?
Will you please help me clear up a source of confusion about a part of this video that weighs on me? If I am a sinner, but most of my "works" have not been full of spite or holding a grudge but being there for my loved ones friends and neighbors? My confusion comes from my Asperger's Syndrome--but I don't use it and try to continue NOT to use it as an excuse when I do outright sin; which has been rare I hope. I grew up surrounded by people; neighbors, teachers, peers and family whom I believed did not care for me. I also went on growing up not knowing of my Syndrome until about ten years ago. My point is that although I have not had a judgemental attitude or selfishness but rather the opposite, I have had times of great anger and hatred that took years of my living with my inner pain in silence to it festering to come out as sins. Where do I stand with God? It is enough to own up to it and ask God if these sins are forgiven, and with a heart of honesty and sincerity?
It blows my mind, that some people i know will at some point no longer ever exist! I asked Jesus into my heart when i was 4. Raised by bible-believing parents, i have always had an eternal mindset. We believed in the eternal punishment/torment concept, but i find the destruction of the lost to be more realistic and a better fit both with scripture, and the nature of the Father. But i still find it a very odd and intimidating idea. To not exist. Some people will stop being. Wow. That is just so weird! And creepy! I am so grateful to Jesus for paying the penalty for me! I couldn’t afford it myself! And i desire to obey His commandments, to show Him my love and gratitude. Amen and amen. So be it.
In Rev. 20:11... Who is the ONE sitting on the GREAT WHITE THRONE that John saw?... God the Father (YHWH) or Christ Jesus?... Let us analyze carefully... let the Bible SPEAK. We start/begin with Rev. 4:2... John narrates that immediately he was in the Spirit, and behold, "a THRONE is set in Heaven and ONE sat on the throne"... (not identified who He is). Then, in Rev. 4:4... John narrates that around the THRONE, there were 24 Thrones with 24 Sitting Elders... (therefore, the 12 Sitting Elders were around/in circling the THRONE). Then, in Rev. 5:1-2... "And I (John) saw in the right hand of HIM (One) who sat on the THRONE a SCROLL written inside and on the back, sealed with 7 Seals... and a Mighty Angel claiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to Open the Scroll and to loose (remove/break) the seal?... Then, in Rev. 5:6... John narrates that he saw 4 Living Creatures in the MIDST (middle) of the THRONE and of the 24 Sitting Elders... (this means the 4 Living Creatures were also around/in Circling the Throne... therefore, if we visualized this information, the Outer Circle will be the 24 Sitting Elders, while the Inner Circle (nearer to the THRONE) will be the 4 Living Creatures, and at the CENTER of the circles (outer/inner) is the ONE who sits on the THRONE)... Then it continued... John narrates that he saw in/from the MIDST (middle) of the 24 Sitting Elders stood a LAMB that as though it had been slain with 7 Horns and 7 Eyes which are the 7 Spirits of God sent out to all the Earth... (clearly, not from the Midst of the Throne but from the Midst (middle) of the Sitting Elders, this person is definitely identified (100%) as Christ Jesus/Word/Son of God/Son of Man... Clearly, Christ Jesus stood in the MIDDLE/MIDST of the 24 Sitting Elders, 12 Elders from each side of the LAMB/CHRIST around (in circling) the THRONE... Final conclusion... the ONE who sits on the GREAT WHITE THRONE at the CENTER around (inner circle/midst) the 4 living Creatures and (outer circle/midst) of the 24 Sitting Elders... is definitely (100%) GOD the father (YHWH), and not Christ Jesus/Son of God and of Man... Logically speaking, if Christ Jesus was the ONE sitting on the Throne with a Scroll from His hands... John could easily identify Him as the ONE who sits on the Throne... John does not need to cry out just because no one is worthy to open the scroll and break the seal... lastly, the LAMB should not have STOOD in/from the MIDST (middle) of the 24 Sitting Elders... but Christ Jesus should have STOOD from the THRONE... but that was not the BIBLICAL TRUTH... based on the Book of Revelation... Facts and Truth of the Matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen...
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of the Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matthew 25:31-34

Hi Lex - I really enjoy your videos - They have greatly opened my eyes to many things I have incorrectly taught in the past. I want to teach God's word as He meant it. QUESTION: I have seen in many of your videos that the unbelievers will be "destroyed" in the eternal (or everlasting) fire. Not tormented eternally. Help please to clarify Revelation 14:9-11 Where it seems to me to say that one who takes the mark of the beast will indeed suffer torment "day and night with no rest".
He’s incorrect about this. It does not say in the Gospel to “turn away from your sin,” nor does it state that that’s the will of the Father. This is it: And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40 The will of the Father is to believe in the Son. The people in Matthew 7:22 he’s talking about are the ones trying to make their own way through works.

@@mugenel3712 For the Matthew verse the fire is eternal, not torture. Scripture clearly says the soul is destroyed. I pray you take in this information, pray on it, ask for knowledge and wisdom, and be delivered from man made teachings from the 1800s.
You got it!!! That's exactly what the Bible says. Well done. Hell is eternal, until God throws it and whose in it in the Lake of Fire. The second death. Body, then Soul.
Notice how it says when it comes to humans „No rest, day or night“, but when it comes to the beast, false prophet (which are not human) it says „no rest day or night for ever and ever“ Rev 20:11. I don’t think this contrast is a coincidence. The verse you are talking about is Rev. 14:9-11, where it says „their smoke will rise for ever and ever“ but give Rev. 19 a read. It says the same thing about the city Babylon (which will appear again during the Endtimes), it says that the smoke of this city will rise for ever (during it‘s destruction). A city can‘t burn for ever.
Hello Alex! You say that those who will be resurrected after the Millennium will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. What about the millions of people who have never heard about God or the salvation He offers through Yeshuah? Can a just and righteous God judge them like someone who has known His Word but who willfully rejects it? What about those little children who've never had the opportunity to be baptized and be converted and receive the Holy Spirit who alone can open an individual's mind and heart to the understanding of God's will?
That is the point of the Great White Throne judgment. Some will be given life and others will be cast into the fire. Yeshua will judge the world with righteous judgment and He will make that decision.
Help me understand how the so-called Jews fulfill the Ch28 of Deuteronomy when they were never taken by ships into Egypt(bondage) slavery and scattered to the four corners of the earth as scripture tells us? Why are they claiming to be descendants of the Israelites when this never happened to them? Maybe Rev2:9 and Rev 3:9?

The remaining 9 tribes of the Northern Kingdom are still in Africa today and the surrounding Lands and Countries. We were not scattered according to tribe as that 12 Chart says.

This is an interesting perspective, I havent heard it put this way before. Honest question, what do you make of Revelation 20:10? The verse describes the devil, the beast and the false prophet, stating they "...shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Is it only the 3 of them that will remain in torment for eternity?
How do we stop sinning???? I don't know. We have to just repent, I think. We are not perfect like God. It would be good if we were hey. Pray to God about it. Great question brother. Praise God....
@@devanvelo3725To not sin would be Awesome. I think we all have to not in the world, but in Gods Spiritual Kingdom. To have God as our everything. It's very Yard as this world is crazy and controlling. We are weak, and sins happen sometimes on purpose and accidentally .We realize after the fact and hopefully realize we must repent. It isn't good if you don't repent because you not sorry what you have done. Do you not like when someone does something to you and you don't say sorry. Well God has commandment so that we don't sin. When we sin it hurts God's feelings and the enemy is happy. To repent Speak to God and mean what you say, about your sin. And that you need God strength, and that you love God. You will know. You will feel a spirit of peace over you. You might cry or laugh. You will Praise God. Amen
Because your sin is covered. Past, present, and future sins are covered because Jesus died for ALL sin. The sins of the world have been payed for. Just believe in Jesus and accept what he did for you.
Revelation 20:10 tells us that the devil, the beast, and the false prophet will be tormented in the lake of fire day and night forever and ever. There is no ground to believe that those who are cast into the lake of fire at the judgment of the great white throne will just vanish and cease to exist. And how would you explain the "eternal fire" and "eternal punishment" in Matthew 25:41,46?
The idea of being destroyed makes me sick. Now that I've tasted life, the thought of being resurrected to learn I am to be destroyed for eternity makes me shake. Christ have mercy on me, your blood is all I have.

So true.
Beast is a man, false prophet is a man (people) " And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." So if these folks are going to the same place the devil, beast and false prophet are going. That does not sound like complete destruction to me.

I really appreciate the unpopular and uncommon teachings that you share on the channel, Lex. I love getting to think more about God’s justice, love, and His expectations for His people. God bless. 🙂
I have to tell you that being raised by the "churches of today " has always brought me a discernment in my heart and I never knew why. It always felt as mankind's way of selling God mainly by fear, I truly believe the Spirit led me to your channel and since watching it I now understand the word much more clearly than I ever did. All those questions of interpretation I had all my life knowing full well that something wasn't right about it all. Jesus has set a path and put those like you into the correct way to see it. My thankfulness to our Father for leading me to you. The Truth is so simple now. Thank you for taking the time to post your videos as they are great in the ways of Jesus!!! The difference he is making through them is just awesome!!!
Thoughtfully and rationally presented. Well done.
Great explanation of a topic that confuses so many people. Your videos are always well put together and informative. Thank you.

Thank God someone is telling this world the truth. I'm one of these old Christians who study the Bible daily because I love Jesus and His Scriptures. Knowledge of the truth will set you so free to keep doing God's great calling He set before me.
So many people to witness to with very little workers to spread the word of God. I still don't understand how Jesus had that passion for us sinners...so thrilled He did.
He is incorrect about the will of the Father. This is it:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:40
You explained it very well. Thank You brother. This teaching allows me to evangelize with assurance.
Thank you so much for this revelation. I struggled with the idea that the second death was eternal torment. I reconciled this idea by telling myself they would all inherit the kingdom at the judgement but your idea of them falling asleep goes in hand perfectly with a vision I've had that lasted many days and nights. I forgot about that vision until you spoke those words. thank you.
I think maybe the torment of Satan and the fallen angels may be eternal (or until the end of all things), because they're spirit beings, and we're told that the Lake of Fire was prepared for them.
Scripture says “& the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever”. When he said there will be no more pain he means for the ones who make it into his kingdom.
This says their smoke ascends forever, not that they are tortured forever. Plus you are contradicting all the other scripture, including Yehusha himself, by claiming there is everlasting torture. The fire and the worms are eternal, not eternal torture.

Hello Lex. First of all, Thank you for all your teachings. I have learned many things from your videos. However, while we are still on this topic of eternal punishment, kindly clarify for me Revelations 14:9-11 if indeed it will be a one time death. I am still not fully convinced on this argument. Hope to hear from you on this matter specifically.
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 And the streams of Edom[b] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up forever.
Isiah 34:8-10
The exact same language is used to describe Edoms judgement. Is Edom still burning day and niight in a fire that cant be quenched? Is the smoke still rising forever?

Peace to you alll
You have made sense of this for me...great video...thank you!
Great video Lex. I definitely don't want to miss the first ressurection--Lord willing.
No, you willing ; it is your choice.
THE FATHER has set life and death before you and told YOUto CHOOSE life!
Well said brother Lex. However I think it’s time we address how the idea of eternal punishment came to be. Respectfully, we also have to address if it was caused by error in Scripture. Jesus said the worms don’t die. So that raises the question what are they feeding on if the wicked are completely destroyed. John wrote in the book of revelation the fire is unquenchable. He also wrote how the smoke of their torment rises forever. This again raises the question if the wicked are destroyed completely, what is the need of an empty fiery lake of worms burning forever?
If the wicked are destroyed, then their destruction is sufficient enough to equal the crucifixion of Jesus. No ones destruction will ever equal the horror of the crucifixion of Jesus. Therefore, we must pay the penalty ourselves and no amount of punishment on a sinner will ever match the punishment Jesus received, thus it goes on for eternity.
@@jointheir183 i agree something about this teaching from lex doesn’t sit well with my Spirit
@@jointheir183 and where do you get the support for your statement that the wicked death will equal crucifixtion of are you just making that up based on your feeling?
people can be content, knowing that their loved ones received a valid judgement....and are in a place that they deserve to be....
..and the adversary said to Eve you surly will not die. People today still believe this first lie. You surly will not die; you will live in heaven or hell for eternity but you surly will not die. Yet, our Creator set forth a choice of life or death. Life or death. Not life in heaven vs eternal life in torment. The wages of sin is death. How does eternal life in hell equate to death? I must say I stand with Lex on this one.
. That has never made sense to me either the thought that you're dead because you're separated from God but you're actually conscious and can feel the pain of the fire in hell just doesn't make sense I don't try to make sense of everything in the word of God because no one can actually say that they have a perfect understanding of God's word but I strongly believe that many Christians come from a catholic religious background that we were taught that if you die and God finds you worthy you will spend eternity in heaven but if you were bad you will spend eternity in hell. I even heard many said that being dead means eternally separated from God but that doesn't hold water because the bible says it is appointed to men to die once and then the judgement that would mean that those that are not believers in Christ when they die in reality they were already dead so they're dying for a second time not once religion is something that satan still uses to keep us bound I can't say that I agree with Lex on everything but he's right on on many subjects and I don't think he's trying to cause division in the body of Christ like so many are doing here on UA-cam but biblically I have to agree with him on this one even though most of the Christians I know believe in eternal punishment I was like them for a long time until I study the subject more in depth and have to conclude when God says you're dead you're dead and is over you no longer aware or conscious of your existence.
@@max41050 The life here on earth is not the same as eternal life afterwards, so of course the death here on earth wont be the same either. Things of the spirit last forever.

This is a very important lesson and I believe it can be used in evangelising to point out to those outside of Yeshua that if they have this misconception about the scriptures, then perhaps they hold more, and they may be inspired to at least seek their own view rather than dismissing the Word based on second hand scorn.
Hey Lex! I enjoyed this video and appreciated your logic and the scripture that backed it up. I was wondering how you deal with the passage in Rev. 14:11, which says "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest..."?
The passage (14:9-11) is specifically referring to those who worship the beast. I know that Revelation is full to the brim with symbolism for sure and presents interpretive challenges. But it's one passage that sticks out in my mind as a hurdle with your thinking. Thanks for your time and the effort you put into your explanations!
Michael Henderson ~ Sorry, I know you addressed Lex but still wanted to weigh in:
A. Compare Rev 14:11 & Isa 34:10 (same verbiage).
B. Observe the setting for both & realize the nature of the [earthly] wrath which is being poured out.
C. Don’t get too hung up on English translated phrases like “forever & ever”. The original Hebrew & Greek don’t always mean what you might think, based on interpreted translations. Often they just mean “until the end of such & such” (eg. age, punishment, etc etc).
D. The smoke in Isa & Rev rising up & NEVER coming back down does NOT mean the objects themselves never stop burning. Much like an “everlasting punishment” is about the RESULT & not the process of destruction.
Thank you Lex, for your presentation it has so much clarity compared with main stream Christian thought. I confess I also read your book, "Immortal". I would recommend it for those you may fell confused about life after death.
I do continue to unlearn the lies here. Yahshua bless you
Thank you lex for this it showed me something I didn’t understand but now I do
What is your take on revelation 20:10 where it says the devil will be thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and false prophet where they will be tormented day and night forever. Am I missing something? Truly looking to unlearn lies if need be. Thnx
And also Lazarus was in hell when he died.
That scripture clearly says the "devil and the false prophet. It doesn't say men. The devil unlike humanity deserves to be tormented forever because of the damage he has caused to creation.
because it says that sodom and gomorah the smoke from them is coming up forever. obviously its not how is that so hard to understand
Dennis Dier ohhhh snap! Thanks Dennis. Suggestion to Lex: you should probably have addressed key verses like this one in your vid. Or a better suggestion is to do a follow up vid about this. Because there are quite a few verses in the Bible that talk about being tormented day and night forever. I enjoy your content keep them coming.
and since we are mentioning hell. in the old testament authors say that God will save their soul that is in hell. and many more verses that make hell just a place for the dead. but its not a place for punishment. now when you read in new testament words are added to describe hell like fire. well there are big changes but you have to consider firstly that old testament was written in hebrew and translated old english or whatever kjv is. and new testament was greek to kjv. now you need a concordinance to find out what the original word was. i do have one , you can download them for free by the way. ill give you the original words if you would like them.

This gave me goose bumps 👍🏻
Scary
God Himself comes to earth, lives a perfect life, is beaten, mocked, spit upon, rejected, forced to carry His cross, and hangs naked on it for me to be forgiven of my sins.
It is trampling on all of that to say it is too harsh to send an unrepentant sinner into eternal torment. I deserve eternal torment much, much more than Christ deserved to bear the wrath of my sin.
Joint Heir ~ Great point about God’s love for us! Remember God is also wise & just. Yeshua DIED a substitutionary DEATH for us. He was NOT endlessly tortured. Our Messiah went through excruciating pain to save us & He wouldn’t hypocritically give humans a far worse punishment than the one He Himself had to endure. That’s how honorable & great He is! He leads by example & so He’s able to relate (Heb ch2&ch4). - Think about it.
~ Shalom!
@@messiahmedia2016 You do not understand the Holiness of God. You are overlooking the perfect spotless Lamb of God. It was a perfect, holy, loving God that shed His blood. Any small amount of punishment God would endure for sin is eternally worse punishment than a sinner who has declared war on God burning for eternity.
Joint Heir ~ Lol! I’m not sure if any human really “understands the holiness of God”. Thanks for the reply tho! 😉
@@messiahmedia2016 Through His Word and His life we can understand that He is sinless and cannot be in the presence of sin and must punish sin. Do you doubt God is holy? I would say you don't. Did God deserve any second of His torture? Do you believe sinners holy? I would say you don't. Then any amount of punishment they receive is far less than what God received on the cross. Again, it is not about the length of the punishment, but rather the holiness of the one being punished.
Outer darkness, the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever and the second Resurrection shows a new immortal body. Jeremiah shows the resurrection of a physical body of the wicked and Isaiah shows that the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Perhaps you are severely mistaken.
Thanks for all your informative insight into what the scriptures actually are conveying. But why then does it say in Revelation that whosoever receives the mark of the beast will be tormented day and night and the smoke of their torment will ascend up forever and ever? This has always puzzled me. Can you please give me a comprehensive understanding of what this actually portrays??
It also says in many, many places that those cast into the lake of fire will be tormented forever. After the 2nd death, we who are in heaven will never see or hear of sin again and neither will we remember because the former things will have passed away. Matt.25:31-46. Mark 9:42-48. And many other places both in the Old and New Testaments.
I whole heartedly agree with you!@@truthforallwithstephenb.1893

It's called the 2nd death for a reason. They're punished and then dead forever.
Timothy Piatt understand, the mark of the beast is simply an expression of the people who will not, despite their free will, accept, knor ever accept every moment of every day YHWH through Messiah, our teacher and way to YHWH eternally. this acceptance is the foundation stone within you and the world, filled with Holy Spirit a place of milk and honey, the building block of the new temple that has no material bricks.

Great work brother, you are presenting the truth as it was in the Bible, thank you very much making these videos.......God bless you !
*Fantastic* description using scriptures to explain what this is. I just watched a video where a guy said Christian’s stand before God at the Great White Throne judgment 🤦🏼♀️
He read no verses as you did. Most don’t understand this plus, Christian’s only stand before God at the bema seat and our works is judged, but it for rewards. Some will lose rewards, but we aren’t condemned for our sins because Christ took that on the cross.
I think this confusion of these two judgment seats is caused by the King James Version and others for not clarifying the word judgment in its verses. People read “judgment” in 2 Corinthians 5:10 and Romans 14:10 and freak out. When that won’t be a type of judgement for condemnation of sins or salvation. There’s two different judgment seats for two different groups: believers and unbelievers.
Thank you and God Bless💜
2 corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
For we all must stand , does this not also apply to those that are also good , since we can't judge our own hearts rightfully?
2 Cor 5:10 says that we will all stand before the judgement SEAT of Christ. This is not the same as the great white THRONE judgement. We are SEATED with Christ, and we will be judged BY Him for what we have done here on earth, good or bad. The great white throne judgement is for the unbelievers. ;)
Thank you for this video! It was very informative...but i am still somewhat confused about "the afterlife" will you please explain the scripture that mentions "WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH" i think that the scripture is Luke 13:28 please help me to understand this because this sounds like an ongoing neverending event...i am searching for The Most High!...HELLLP!!!
I suggest letting the bible define itself. It seems that the common usage of the idiom of gnashing one’s teeth is anger. Weeping and gnashing of teeth would therefore seem to be indicative of sadness and anger. Perhaps there may even be weeping because one is besides themselves with anger.
Job 16:9 - Job talking about God’s apparent anger and hatred towards him:
His anger has torn me and hunted me down. He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My adversary glares at me.
Psalm 35:16 - King David referring to his enemies:
Like godless jesters at a feast. They gnashed at me with their teeth.
Psalm 112:10:
The wicked will see it and be vexed. He will gnash his teeth and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
Acts 7:54 - Describing the unbelieving Jews and their angry reaction to Stephen:
When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him (NIV).
In each of these instances, gnashing of teeth represented anger, not pain or suffering. In one passage, it was God himself who was said to gnash his teeth!
@@Sherrilynnification1 Thank you so much!😊 your response was very helpful....God bless🙏💕

@@talkintruth2you655 You are very welcome. This is a topic close to my heart. I think often about it and I have studied it through the years.
The problem with placing the Great White Throne Judgement after a lapse of 1000 years, is that in a similar passage in Daniel, the Beast is still alive.
See first Daniel 7:9-10 (Thrones set in place, Books are opened).
Then Daniel 7:11 (Beast slain and thrown into the fire).
Now go to Revelation 19:20-21 (Beast captured, thrown into the fire at the Second Coming).
Then Revelation 20 (the end of the Millennium must therefore coincide with the Second Coming, so the events of chapter 20 must start back in time from where chaper 19 ends).
This deserves more views.
Thank you and God bless you and your family Lex stay strong Warrior
I never thought about it, but perhaps you are right that the wicked will not be tortured for eternity. The Bible says that those in Christ shall get an incorruptible body and become immortal. It said nothing about the wicked getting an incorruptible body, therefore their body will be as frail as our present body which can be destroyed.

Denying eternal torment for it being too harsh is trampling the blood of Christ. A sinner being tormented for eternity for years of sinning and rejecting his creator is no where near the unjust death of Yeshua. I deserve eternal punishment much more than Yeshua deserved the cross.

2. The Great White Throne of God's Judgment... (ref. Rev. 20:11-15)... these are for NON-CHRISTIANS and ATHEISTS, they will be judged by God (YHWH) according thru their DEEDS/WORKS/ACTS...

Jesus taught about the outer darkness. Peter taught that Jesus descended to the place of the dead to minister to those in PRISON. So what is unbiblical with what I said? Mercy Killing? is it of God or of satan? Death Penalty? We do have death penalty in our justice system. Presidents can pardon a person sentenced to death.
What do you make of the thousands of testemonies from people around the world who claim to have gone to hell and seen people in eternal torment.
Do you have a video that deals with this?
Thank you for your reply.
Lex definitely has a video on this subject. I think that is how i found his channel because i've seen someone who claimed they have been to hell and back. I no longer go to that church.
I do have a video about near death experiences.
Smash the button backsliders this guy is spot on
So if ur saved do u not go to the great throne judgment because I’m saved and I was just wondering
I agree with Lex in this video about hell/punishment - but my understanding is that the righteous will also be before Jesus's throne. Like Romans 14:10 'for we shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.' Or Matthew 25:35 'And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.'
Truth spoken. Yah be praised. Thank you. Purim is approaching....the spirit of Haman (anti Christ) is alive and well, still trying to destroy God's people. Everyone be in prayer and alert.
The best argument for people being tormented in the lake of fire for eternity, is that the people thrown into it have been resurrected with new bodies. The same as those who live forever in God's Kingdom.
However, I do not think the new bodies are the key to eternal life. I think the key to eternal life is is a gift God gives the ones He blesses. So. That arguement falls apart.
Thank you. I've been confused about the eternal torture ideology.
Good insights! Thank you ~
Jesus said;`The words I have spoken unto you will judge you in the last day.´John 12:48
Not an ear tickling message, nor should it be...Thank you, Lex.
Preach the Word
"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Thank you for this video. I understand it’s a lot better now because of what you said
Only those found written in the book of life live after the great white throne judgement.
If it's only they that are judged, then judgement must mean ordainment.
Only those who are not found written in the book of life are not judged. See Rev 20:12.
What is the point of their judgment for their works if everyone receives the same eternal destruction?
But the bible says in Revelation 14.11 " And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name". It's very clear that they will be tormented day and night, forever which is why we are thankful for the Gospel. Many other scriptures say it's eternal and if u read the scriptures, it doesn't seem like it ends.
Thank you for teaching the truth - how could a merciful God punish people forever? How could anyone believe such a lie?
Many do 😔

Thank you for the teaching, Lex. I have a question, What version of The Bible should I use, trust & believe? There are so many versions and adaptations, and I know that God's word is surely preserved somewhere and cannot be tainted by human error, I just do not know where to look. Also, I live in a smaller town with a very large Ukranian population, and there aren't many churches I can go to because they are some sort of Catholic or Orthodox church. What kind of church should I go to?
Will you please help me clear up a source of confusion about a part of this video that weighs on me? If I am a sinner, but most of my "works" have not been full of spite or holding a grudge but being there for my loved ones friends and neighbors? My confusion comes from my Asperger's Syndrome--but I don't use it and try to continue NOT to use it as an excuse when I do outright sin; which has been rare I hope. I grew up surrounded by people; neighbors, teachers, peers and family whom I believed did not care for me. I also went on growing up not knowing of my Syndrome until about ten years ago. My point is that although I have not had a judgemental attitude or selfishness but rather the opposite, I have had times of great anger and hatred that took years of my living with my inner pain in silence to it festering to come out as sins. Where do I stand with God? It is enough to own up to it and ask God if these sins are forgiven, and with a heart of honesty and sincerity?

If you have asked for forgiveness, then He has forgiven you. Don't dwell on anything in the past, just seek HIs wisdom and He will give it to you!
It blows my mind, that some people i know will at some point no longer ever exist! I asked Jesus into my heart when i was 4. Raised by bible-believing parents, i have always had an eternal mindset. We believed in the eternal punishment/torment concept, but i find the destruction of the lost to be more realistic and a better fit both with scripture, and the nature of the Father. But i still find it a very odd and intimidating idea. To not exist. Some people will stop being. Wow. That is just so weird! And creepy! I am so grateful to Jesus for paying the penalty for me! I couldn’t afford it myself! And i desire to obey His commandments, to show Him my love and gratitude. Amen and amen. So be it.
In Rev. 20:11... Who is the ONE sitting on the GREAT WHITE THRONE that John saw?... God the Father (YHWH) or Christ Jesus?... Let us analyze carefully... let the Bible SPEAK.
We start/begin with Rev. 4:2... John narrates that immediately he was in the Spirit, and behold, "a THRONE is set in Heaven and ONE sat on the throne"... (not identified who He is).
Then, in Rev. 4:4... John narrates that around the THRONE, there were 24 Thrones with 24 Sitting Elders... (therefore, the 12 Sitting Elders were around/in circling the THRONE).
Then, in Rev. 5:1-2... "And I (John) saw in the right hand of HIM (One) who sat on the THRONE a SCROLL written inside and on the back, sealed with 7 Seals... and a Mighty Angel claiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to Open the Scroll and to loose (remove/break) the seal?...
Then, in Rev. 5:6... John narrates that he saw 4 Living Creatures in the MIDST (middle) of the THRONE and of the 24 Sitting Elders... (this means the 4 Living Creatures were also around/in Circling the Throne... therefore, if we visualized this information, the Outer Circle will be the 24 Sitting Elders, while the Inner Circle (nearer to the THRONE) will be the 4 Living Creatures, and at the CENTER of the circles (outer/inner) is the ONE who sits on the THRONE)...
Then it continued... John narrates that he saw in/from the MIDST (middle) of the 24 Sitting Elders stood a LAMB that as though it had been slain with 7 Horns and 7 Eyes which are the 7 Spirits of God sent out to all the Earth... (clearly, not from the Midst of the Throne but from the Midst (middle) of the Sitting Elders, this person is definitely identified (100%) as Christ Jesus/Word/Son of God/Son of Man...
Clearly, Christ Jesus stood in the MIDDLE/MIDST of the 24 Sitting Elders, 12 Elders from each side of the LAMB/CHRIST around (in circling) the THRONE...
Final conclusion... the ONE who sits on the GREAT WHITE THRONE at the CENTER around (inner circle/midst) the 4 living Creatures and (outer circle/midst) of the 24 Sitting Elders... is definitely (100%) GOD the father (YHWH), and not Christ Jesus/Son of God and of Man...
Logically speaking, if Christ Jesus was the ONE sitting on the Throne with a Scroll from His hands... John could easily identify Him as the ONE who sits on the Throne... John does not need to cry out just because no one is worthy to open the scroll and break the seal... lastly, the LAMB should not have STOOD in/from the MIDST (middle) of the 24 Sitting Elders... but Christ Jesus should have STOOD from the THRONE... but that was not the BIBLICAL TRUTH... based on the Book of Revelation...
Facts and Truth of the Matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen...
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of the Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matthew 25:31-34
@@skadoosh20
There are 2 Judgment Seats/Thrones written in the Scripture:
1. The Judgment Seat/Throne of Christ... (ref. 2 Corin. 5:9-11 / Romans 14:10)... this is for the CHRISTIAN believers and followers... Christ Jesus will judge them whether they followed and obeyed the WILL/PREROGATIVES of His Father God (YHWH)...
2. The Great White Throne of God's Judgment... (ref. Rev. 20:11-15)... these are for NON-CHRISTIANS and ATHEISTS, they will be judged by God (YHWH) according thru their DEEDS/WORKS/ACTS...
Facts and Truth of the Matter, Biblically speaking... Praise be to God through Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen...
This dude is backloading works
Hi Lex - I really enjoy your videos - They have greatly opened my eyes to many things I have incorrectly taught in the past. I want to teach God's word as He meant it. QUESTION: I have seen in many of your videos that the unbelievers will be "destroyed" in the eternal (or everlasting) fire. Not tormented eternally. Help please to clarify Revelation 14:9-11 Where it seems to me to say that one who takes the mark of the beast will indeed suffer torment "day and night with no rest".
Hi, so if people don't turn from there sins now, dont they get another chance?
He’s incorrect about this. It does not say in the Gospel to “turn away from your sin,” nor does it state that that’s the will of the Father. This is it:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:40
The will of the Father is to believe in the Son. The people in Matthew 7:22 he’s talking about are the ones trying to make their own way through works. Unless this dood has fully, 100% turned from all his sin, he’s apparently not doing his version of the will of the Father.
Does anyone know of a good video teaching of what happens after the return of Messiah?
Please do a response video on some of the versus like Rev 20:10 or Matt 25:41 thank you!
They can't because it would totally destroy their argument
Yeshua is Lord but I thought the old things are passed away? Wouldn’t that mean the fire?
@@mugenel3712 For the Matthew verse the fire is eternal, not torture. Scripture clearly says the soul is destroyed. I pray you take in this information, pray on it, ask for knowledge and wisdom, and be delivered from man made teachings from the 1800s.
excellent lesson Lex!!!!!!!
You got it!!! That's exactly what the Bible says. Well done. Hell is eternal, until God throws it and whose in it in the Lake of Fire. The second death. Body, then Soul.
Yo, YAHWEH bless you bro. Praise Him
Sean King are you serious??? Do better
Idk if you joking or not but you should be 100 % serious when speaking of YAHWEH
Can you make a video and explain about the resurrection in matthew 27:51-53..
In the it bible reads..
Rev 14:11.. "No rest, day or night.." Lex, plz explain what this means then. Thanks
Notice how it says when it comes to humans „No rest, day or night“, but when it comes to the beast, false prophet (which are not human) it says „no rest day or night for ever and ever“ Rev 20:11. I don’t think this contrast is a coincidence. The verse you are talking about is Rev. 14:9-11, where it says „their smoke will rise for ever and ever“ but give Rev. 19 a read. It says the same thing about the city Babylon (which will appear again during the Endtimes), it says that the smoke of this city will rise for ever (during it‘s destruction). A city can‘t burn for ever.
Hello Alex! You say that those who will be resurrected after the Millennium will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. What about the millions of people who have never heard about God or the salvation He offers through Yeshuah? Can a just and righteous God judge them like someone who has known His Word but who willfully rejects it? What about those little children who've never had the opportunity to be baptized and be converted and receive the Holy Spirit who alone can open an individual's mind and heart to the understanding of God's will?
That is the point of the Great White Throne judgment. Some will be given life and others will be cast into the fire. Yeshua will judge the world with righteous judgment and He will make that decision.
@@unlearnthelies Thank you for answering!
Help me understand how the so-called Jews fulfill the Ch28 of Deuteronomy when they were never taken by ships into Egypt(bondage) slavery and scattered to the four corners of the earth as scripture tells us? Why are they claiming to be descendants of the Israelites when this never happened to them? Maybe Rev2:9 and Rev 3:9?
dana bozeman I agree the people of color fit that description: blacks, so called Native American Indians, Hispanic, Portaricans, .....
His Name is Ahyah ASHAR Ahayah forever!!!!!
@@lauratempestini5719 Hello Laura, the other groups that you mentioned aside from Blacks, only include the Black Afro People of those races. Only the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi were scattered throughout the world. That 12 Tribes Chart is incorrect. Only the Israelites of the Southern Kingdom were scattered that were found on the West Coast of Africa. The remaining 9 tribes of the Northern Kingdom are still in Africa today and the surrounding Lands and Countries. We were not scattered according to tribe as that 12 Chart says. All of us Scattered Israelites are of the the 3 Tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi only.

Hello, thanks for this channel, I have a question
Is there a difference between the sinner and the wicked?
This is an interesting perspective, I havent heard it put this way before. Honest question, what do you make of Revelation 20:10? The verse describes the devil, the beast and the false prophet, stating they "...shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Is it only the 3 of them that will remain in torment for eternity?
How do we repent? I sin every day?
How do we stop sinning???? I don't know. We have to just repent, I think. We are not perfect like God. It would be good if we were hey. Pray to God about it. Great question brother. Praise God....
Barbara Lockhart so how do we know if we are saved or not?
@@devanvelo3725To not sin would be Awesome. I think we all have to not in the world, but in Gods Spiritual Kingdom. To have God as our everything. It's very Yard as this world is crazy and controlling. We are weak, and sins happen sometimes on purpose and accidentally .We realize after the fact and hopefully realize we must repent. It isn't good if you don't repent because you not sorry what you have done. Do you not like when someone does something to you and you don't say sorry. Well God has commandment so that we don't sin. When we sin it hurts God's feelings and the enemy is happy. To repent Speak to God and mean what you say, about your sin. And that you need God strength, and that you love God. You will know. You will feel a spirit of peace over you. You might cry or laugh. You will Praise God. Amen
Because your sin is covered. Past, present, and future sins are covered because Jesus died for ALL sin. The sins of the world have been payed for. Just believe in Jesus and accept what he did for you.
Amen ...GOD bless you...please make a video about REVELATIONS 8&9
Revelation 20:10 tells us that the devil, the beast, and the false prophet will be tormented in the lake of fire day and night forever and ever. There is no ground to believe that those who are cast into the lake of fire at the judgment of the great white throne will just vanish and cease to exist. And how would you explain the "eternal fire" and "eternal punishment" in Matthew 25:41,46?
Excellent!! Super clear, makes sense 👍
There are ample scriptural reference which point to eternal punishment.
Aragorn Stellar I was thinking that same thing
of what benefit is it to propose an idea without citing it?!
Than you flex u always with your teachings god bless you
