๐น ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: โTHE GREAT DECEPTION OF FALSE PEACEโ
Many today comfort themselves with the phrase, โRest in peace,โ spoken over the dead. Yet the Word of God tells us that there is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah 57:21). While the believer in Christ rests eternally in His presence, the unbeliever enters a place of conscious torment, not comfort.
From a dispensational standpoint, hell is not a parable or poetic symbolโit is a literal, temporary holding place for the unsaved dead, awaiting the final judgment at the Great White Throne (Revelation 20:11โ15). Letโs study why there is no rest in peace in hell, and why God warns us urgently in this age of grace.
๐ฅ 1๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ โ IT IS A PREPARED PLACE
Hell is not a myth; it is a prepared place for a rebellious people.
๐ Matthew 25:41 โ โ...prepared for the devil and his angels.โ
A. Its Creation โ God did not originally make hell for man, but for Satan and his fallen angels (2 Peter 2:4).
B. Its Continuation โ Because of sin, men share in Satanโs destiny (Romans 6:23).
C. Its Certainty โ Jesus Himself preached more about hell than heaven (Mark 9:43โ48).
๐ Dispensational note: Under every dispensationโlaw, prophecy, and graceโhell remains a reality for unbelievers who reject Godโs revealed truth for their age.
๐ฅ 2๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ง โ A PLACE OF PAIN
Hell is the conscious, eternal residence of the unredeemed.
๐ Luke 16:23โ24 โ โIn hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments...โ
A. The Fire that Burns โ Literal fire that never quenches (Mark 9:48).
B. The Fear that Binds โ The hopelessness of no escape (Revelation 14:11).
C. The Feeling that Baffles โ Full awareness, remembrance, and regret (Luke 16:25).
๐ Dispensational note: In the prophetic program, hell is under the earth; in the mystery program, it still functions as the temporary abode of the unsaved until the resurrection unto damnation.
๐ณ๏ธ 3๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ โ REJECTION OF GODโS REVELATION
Hell exists because men reject Godโs light.
๐ John 3:19โ20 โ โMen loved darkness rather than light...โ
A. Rejection of the Creator โ Romans 1:25, they worship the creature.
B. Rebellion against the Covenant โ Israel refused Godโs law and prophets.
C. Refusal of the Cross โ In this dispensation, men reject Paulโs gospel of grace (Acts 20:24).
๐ Dispensational note: The message of salvation differs by dispensation, but rejection of Godโs truth in any age results in wrath.
โณ 4๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ โ A MEMORY THAT MISERIES
๐ Luke 16:25 โ โSon, remember...โ
A. Remembered Opportunities โ Every gospel message rejected will echo forever.
B. Remembered Obligations โ Every chance to repent now becomes eternal regret.
C. Remembered Offenses โ Every sin unatoned cries out for judgment.
๐ Dispensational note: Under grace, the unsaved will remember rejecting the free gift of salvation through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8โ9).
๐ 5๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐จ๐๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ โ A DESIRE DENIED
๐ Luke 16:27โ28 โ The rich man begged for his brothers to be warned.
A. A Plea for Mercy โ Too late once death comes (Hebrews 9:27).
B. A Petition for Message โ โSend him to my fatherโs house...โ
C. A Problem of Misbelief โ They have Moses and the prophets, but men still wonโt believe (Luke 16:31).
๐ Dispensational note: Today, people reject Paulโs epistlesโthe message of the risen Christโand will face the same eternal denial.
๐ฐ๏ธ 6๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐กโ ETERNAL RETRIBUTION
๐ Romans 2:5โ6 โ โ...the righteous judgment of God.โ
A. Justice Served โ Every sin receives full payment (Galatians 6:7).
B. Judgment Settled โ The Great White Throne (Revelation 20:11โ15).
C. Journey Sealed โ Cast into the lake of fire, forever separated (Revelation 21:8).
๐ Dispensational note: The unsaved from all ages will be judged according to their worksโnot for salvation, but for their degrees of punishment.
๐ง 7๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ โ REDEMPTION IN CHRIST
๐ 1 Thessalonians 1:10 โ โ...Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.โ
A. The Saviorโs Sacrifice โ Christ bore hellโs punishment on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21).
B. The Spiritโs Seal โ Believers are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13).
C. The Saintโs Security โ Nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38โ39).
๐ Dispensational note: In this age of grace, salvation is offered freely through faith in the finished work of Christ aloneโno law, no works, no rituals.
๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: โTHE LIE OF FALSE PEACEโ
The world says, โRest in peace,โ but without Christ, there is no peaceโonly punishment. The grave is not the end but the beginning of eternity. Hell is real, and grace is real. You cannot have both. Accepting the gospel of Christ today delivers you from everlasting fire and grants eternal rest in Him.
๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐: โRECEIVE THE REST OF REDEMPTIONโ
๐ Believe in the finished work of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1โ4).
๐ Break from the delusion of religion and works.
๐ Be bold to preach this gospelโbecause hell is no myth, and time is short!
