Intro
Are you good enough to go to Heaven? Take God’s test to see if you pass. About every half second a person dies. Your time to die could be within minutes, hours, or a few days from now. Are you ready? Do you know where you are going after you die?
World death rate is about 153,000 people per day. Do you have time to find out why you’re alive? Why are we alive? What is our future after we die? These are questions we need to answer and get right while you are still alive, not waiting until you are already dead and can no longer answer these questions that have infinite/eternal consequences.
How do we know the Bible/Word is true or if there is a GOD? If you believe GOD does not exist, you are saying everything (you and everything around you) was made from nothing and the nothingness made everything. That goes against logic or science. Do you really believe that? The first law of thermodynamics states something can not be made from nothing [ref]. The fact you and everything else is here and exists is a testimony to GOD’s existence. Which GOD is the right GOD? The Bible states, “… I (am) GOD and (there is) no other GOD and (there is) none like ME” (Isa 46:9). If the Bible can be shown to be true, then there is no need to look beyond the Bible for a different GOD.

(The name YESHUA is the Hebrew name many Bibles translate as JESUS. The name YESHUA will be used instead of JESUS most of the time in this website, though the English translated name of JESUS is representing the same person.)
The book of Revelation was written almost 2000 years ago and is at the end of every Bible published. The link below called The Map of the Seals, Trumpets, & Bowls Intro, shows how the events in our history are and have been fulfilling the exact words of the book of Revelation written by the LORD/GOD through John. This allows us to see these writings are from the eternal GOD and can be trusted to be true.

All this means Heaven and Hell are real. These Testimonies testify that Heaven and Hell Exists. You can read about what the Bible says about Heaven and Hell HERE.
The LORD WHO created mankind is holy, and nothing unholy can be in HIS presence without being consumed by fire (Ex 19:18; 24:17; Lev 10:1, 2; Dan 7:9, 10, 11). When a person does anything against the LORD (or sins), the person becomes unholy. The LORD created all mankind in HIS image and will not completely destroy those made in HIS image, so all mankind will live forever (Gen 1:26, 27; Rev 20:12, 13). Sin can not be in the presence of a holy GOD without being burned; and, as a loving father, the LORD is going to bring all created mankind back into HIS presence (Dan 12:2; Mt 25:46; Rev 20:10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15; Dan 7:9, 10, 11). This creates a big problem for us. Our sin is like putting dirty car oil on a rag (ourselves); an oiled rag can no longer be made new again. How many sins does it take to make a person unholy? Only one. How many times does a person have to murder to be a murderer? Once. If the murderer goes to jail and gets out, goes to church, does all the good in the world, and saves other people from death, is he still a murderer? He still murdered, so yes. How many times does a person have to lie to be a liar? Once, and before a holy GOD there is no such thing as a good lie (Rev 21:8; Lev 19:11). The Bible states no one is good and all have fallen short of the glory of GOD (Rom 3:10, 11, 12; Psm 14:2, 3). If you say you have never sinned, then you would be calling GOD a liar, that would be a sin in itself. If we all have sinned and the unholiness cannot be removed from our bodies, we will be consumed by fire forever when we come into the presence of the LORD forever with our bodies never being destroyed (not a pretty picture) (Isa 66:24; Rev 14:10, 11; Mrk 9:43, 45, 47, 48). This is the simple picture of Hell that is called the Lake of Burning Fire and Sulfur. This is not what our FATHER in Heaven wants for our eternal lives (2 Pet 3:9). So, what does YESHUA dying on the Cross have to do with this picture?
YESHUA is both man and GOD and has never sinned (Jhn 1:1, 14; 14:9, 10). If HE was just a man, HE would have sinned and deserved to die. Since HE never sinned, HE did not deserve to die. HE chose to die for us (Jhn 10:11, 17, 18). The easiest way to explain this is to see the Lake of Fire as the Continuous Punishment Place. In our house, someone can take the punishment of someone else and the punishment is still met. So, a person in trouble who deserves a punishment can have someone else, who volunteers, get the punishment instead. This is what YESHUA did on the Cross. HE volunteered to get our punishment of death for anyone who will accept HIM and what HE did. HE is not going to force anyone to take HIS death as their own death. But, if a person believes YESHUA did die on the Cross for them, then that person no longer has to go to the Continuous-Punishment-Place/Lake-of-Fire/Second-Death, because YESHUA already died a death (HE did not deserve to die) for the person who deserved to die the second death. All mankind dies the first death because we sinned and pushed the LORD away, leading to our Breath of Life from the LORD being removed from us (Gen 2:17). A person does not have to die the second death, if they repent (do not want to sin anymore) and accept YESHUA’s death as his/her own second death (Rom 10:9, 10; 1 Jn 5:10, 11, 12, 13; Jn 3:16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21).
Not only did YESHUA have to be GOD in order not to sin, HE had to be GOD to die for every past, present, and future sin. If YESHUA was just a man, HE could only die for the sin of one person. Since YESHUA is the infinite/eternal GOD, HE can die for an infinite amount of sins of an infinite amount of people for an infinite amount of time.
Why are those who believe in YESHUA not consumed by fire since they are still sinners? All who say “I do” to a covenant relationship with YESHUA, making HIM their LIORD/GOD/SAVIOR/Family, believing GOD raised HIM from the dead, will have a new holy body before they enter into the City of Heaven (New Jerusalem) (Phil 3:21). These new bodies do not have any sin for the LORD’s holiness to burn (1 Cor 15:50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57). But, anyone who rejects GOD’s offer will remain with their sin in their old bodies. Each person has a choice. The LORD will not force anyone to follow and worship HIM. Remember we can die at any time, and our choice can not be changed after we die. There is no reincarnation in the Bible (Heb 9:27). (If you believe in reincarnation, you will not have a second chance to find out your wrong.) Since you do not know how much time you have left before you die, please repent soon and turn from your sin and its curse of death, even now, telling GOD you do not want to sin anymore and do not want the death and darkness that sin brings into your life. Tell the LORD you believe YESHUA is your GOD who died on the Cross for the punishment of your sins and you want HIM to enter into your life. Praying is just talking to GOD. If you now believe, your spirit is clean and holy. Find a Bible (God’s love letter to you) to read and ask GOD to help you understand it as you read (You can find one online HERE). Also, find other Believers you can meet with to build a loving relationship with the Family of Believers you are now part of, having patience with their unholiness while you together grow in your relationship with the LORD. I would like to help your walk with the LORD get started overcoming sin and walking with the LORD in a relationship. So, I am directing you HERE. And, as you have found great joy in the LORD, give joy to others by sharing the news of the gift of being saved and adopted into GOD’s family through YESHUA.
