This might just be the strongest and most convincing advertisement for accepting Jesus as your Savior there is.
Bill Wiese, the author of “23 Minutes in Hell,” says there is one period of time during the Tribulation that will be hell on earth for those alive to experience it. He asks, “Why would any rational person reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and be forced to endure what is coming?”
“Some may say I exaggerated the torment I experienced in my ’23 Minutes in Hell,'” Wiese says. “However, hell can never be exaggerated by anyone. The Tribulation period will certainly be like a hell on earth. But there is one aspect that occurs during the seven-year period that is actually a supernatural evil.
“Revelation 9:5-6 speaks of the demons that are released on the earth during that time,” he says. “And it says, ‘To them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man. In those days, man shall seek death and shall not find it. They shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.'”
Wiese says demons will ascend from hell to torment the people who have taken the mark of the beast, a mark people will take to buy or sell anything. The Bible says that anyone who takes this mark is doomed to hell, and the mark will also reflect an allegiance to the Antichrist.
“During this five-month period, these people cannot die, no matter how terrible the suffering they experience,” Wiese says. “The tormented will find no relief. Even their unimaginable attempts to end their misery in suicide will be unsuccessful. This is similar to hell. In hell, you are like the living dead.”
Take a clue from this very real look at the future. Accept Christ as your Savior and eliminate all uncertainty. {eoa}
