Personal ExplanationPersonal Explanation

This series of presentations is not meant to be comprehensive, nor is it meant to clear up a lot of the points that are hard and that have a lot of legitimate disagreement . It is the hope that the series will make the book a little less tedious and clearer to understand and that the viewers will be encouraged to begin their own study of the Book of Revelation and other end-times topics to better prepare themselves for the coming of Jesus to Rapture the church, and to better witness to others while there is still time.

The Lake of Fire is real and those who do not escape it by repenting of their sinful lives and calling on the name of Jesus to ask Him to save them now will end up there. This is the kimdest way to say it. You CAN be saved from the death and suffering and in the end the horrible Lake of Fire from which there is no parole or release. Remember that FOREVER is a long, long, long, long time to face being in hell’s fires.
