Righteous Judgment: Opening The Gates Of Hell!
by Dr. Joseph Chambers, PAW CREEK Ministries
The Righteous Judgments of the Holy God are brooding and groaning all over our world.
Justice must once again fill our world if God is truly God. Judgment of every evil act or attitude will be judged. Sin, raw sin is a horrible disease that works deep and slow in every life where it is tolerated. It is the worse form of cancer eating the living cells and leaving dark blotches of death. Fornication between a young couple may satisfy the lust of sex but there is a slow eroding of moral values that always ends in pain and gloom.
Same-sex, sexual activity is even worse. The beautiful life that God has instilled in a lovely person turns to an appetite of such moral death that quickly this soul thinks more like an animal than a human. It”s the instinct of demons that erodes everything of human value. At this moment the bottomless pit of hell is filled with demons and humans that left their moral compass from the Creator to follow the devil to his dark realm.
The present gulf between the earth and heaven will cease. The world will tremble at the invasion of dark beings out of Hell. The Rapture is an incredibly supernatural event and will change almost every law of natural phenomenon, as we now know them. At the Rapture, the Lord of Sabaoth (Lord of a multitude), which is none other than Jesus Christ, and His host of heavenly angels will descend into our atmosphere to receive the raptured saints. They will break and destroy the sound and distance barrier between Heaven and earth and activity between the two will become commonplace. Earth’s population left after the Rapture will be limited to the earth, but the activities of the great Host of Heaven and the glorified saints will easily occur between the two worlds.
The same will be true to an expanded degree between the earth and beneath the earth. At the direction of God’s messengers, the hordes of evil spirits festering in hell’s chasms will be turned loose on the earth. Armies of evil creatures, led by Satan’s most vicious lieutenants, will terrorize the population of this world. The Bible does not describe the full extent of this overwhelming truth, but the evidence is certainly clear. The earth will become a battleground between God’s great army and His saints and the dark activities of the unholy trinity; Satan, Antichrist, the False Prophet, and a multitude of fallen angels. The worst event of all will be the unchaining of Satan’s darkest demons that have been bound in hell because of their evil activities on the earth. This earth is in for the darkest period of human history.
Amos cried out under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and stated, “Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?” (Amos 5:18-20)
There are all kinds of different interpretations about the Tribulation Period following the Rapture. Many deny a Tribulation Period altogether and believe that the world is progressing toward the Millennium. Others have the church still on the earth during the first three and one-half years. Still, others believe in a pre-wrath deception and have the church here until the middle or the second half of the seven years. This would put the church here for five years and three months of the seven years. Amos appeared to be warning anyone that denies or divides the Great Tribulation of seven years. He called it the Day of the Lord and the language clearly forbids dividing it or making any part of it less than complete. It is a specific time and must not be tampered with or changed. No part of the Day of the Lord will be less than a time of utter darkness.
Why Mankind Is So Superstitious
We live in a closed world compared to how it was before sin entered, and how it will be when sin is being judged, and how it will be after that judgment. We are body, soul, and spirit and were created to live in the universe with all of God’s created angelic hosts. God and man had fellowship together before sin entered the human heart. Man also communicated with Lucifer before man sinned and made the choice of believing Satan over God. The fall of man was so devastating that man was forbidden to eat the Tree of Life lest he live forever in his sinful state. Man was also forbidden to communicate with Satan or his angels. It is clear that we are forbidden any contact with wizards, fortunetellers, or any of the host of fallen spirit entities.
Anyone engaged with these dark entities becomes subject to their attacks or their destruction. Man has an inward tendency (sin nature) to enjoy and delight in superstitious activities or to contact other worldly creatures. Our world will quickly descend into a new religion after the Rapture, which will be “naked Satanism” and will satisfy this innate hunger. Satan will take full advantage of the unbelieving multitudes. Already, the descent into this world of spiritual deception is not far from complete. I’m sure it will get worse. A solid Bible-filled life is man’s only hope of escaping the growing and overwhelming invasion of evil spirits before the Rapture. Let’s try to understand what will happen when the “Gates of Hell” are open. First, there must be the Rapture of His saints.
The Rapture: Caught Up To His Throne
Immediately, the moment that John was in the Spirit after He heard the Lord’s invitation, “Come up hither,” he was before the throne of God. My friends, that is time travel at a speed and in a manner unknown to our natural world, but absolutely normal in the world of the spiritual and the Divine. The limitations of flesh and blood are our normal experiences, so we have trouble thinking and understanding the way it will soon become. It’s actually exciting to learn about the future world and to anticipate what our Father has planned for us.
Our resurrection and rapture from this limited world into the glory of His presence fills the fourth and fifth chapters of the Book of Revelation. The twenty and four seats before His throne represent a literal multitude of glorified saints unashamed in the majesty of His presence. We will be center stage before Him and the Bible fully describes the glory of His throne. “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.” (Revelation 4:3) Then, John describes this multitude prefigured as twenty-four to show both Old Testament saints and New Testament saints. He says of them, “And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.” (Revelation 4:4) This symbolic number of twenty-four is shown to be a multitude in chapter five. John describes this great company. “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:11-12)
Mingled with the saints are the living creatures, heavenly principalities, seraphims, cherubims, and His archangels. The entire scene is so far beyond the limited universe, as we have lived our limited fleshly lives, that it appears unreal and beyond comprehension. All of this I write to show you what is about to happen in both Heaven and on earth as we pass into God’s planned future and the end of sin and all of its consequences.
Our Father never intended for our world to be so cheap and full of sorrows.Satan and his rebellious hosts are going to pay the price for turning our world into a wilderness and especially for destroying a great multitude of souls. Do not let the confused theologians tell you that our Heavenly Father planned all the hell that Satan has spewed on mankind. Such a god would not deserve your worship. He left no doubt when He inspirited His Spirit to proclaim by His prophet, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father…” (Ezekiel 18:4) Satan is a thief that came to destroy. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

The Study Notebook below is entitled, “Jerusalem: God’s Chosen City”. It is a college level study on the single city in all the world that God Himself chose to be His eternal city. There are three large charts at the beginning to trace the history of Jerusalem from 3500 B.C. to the ultimate fulfillment in future prophecy. This notebook is 222 pages with color pictures. To me it is a treasure trove of Biblical importance.
