Sheol is naked before Him, and Destruction has no covering.



That means God can see into Hell, so it is observable to Him.  But also you are naked in Hell, just another thing you have to go through.


(Dry)There is no water in Hell, at all, no water.  There's no humidity in the air and no water of any kind.  It is so dry; you are desperate for a drop of water, just one.  Just like the scripture says in Luke 16:23-24,



And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.?/i>



Abraham said, "Son remember", and then he went on to talk about his brothers.  He wanted him to just dip the tip of his finger in water, just to get one drop.  That would have been precious, one drop, but you never, ever get a drop.  It's hard to imaging how dry your mouth is.  If you can imagine doing a marathon run through Death Valley and having cotton in your mouth and staying there for days, and it just continues like that, just dry, absolute, desperate for a drop of water. 


Another thing this scripture revealed to me was we knew there was a great gulf fixed between them, in Hell; between Paradise and Hades.  And the rich man saw Abraham far off.  In the natural, how could he recognize Lazarus and Abraham?  First of all he never met Abraham and then to see someone that far away, you wouldn't really know who they were.  But there are just certain things you know in Hell.  You understand, like I was saying, the depths, how far away and so forth.


Then one of the demons grabbed me, and drug me back into the cell and began all these torments again, which I really hate to talk about, because I don't like to have to re-live the torment.  They began to crush my skull.  One demon grabbed me and tried to crush my head.  I was screaming and begging for mercy, but no mercy!  About this time they each grabbed an arm and a leg and were about to tear off my legs and my arms.  I thought, "I can't endure this, I can't endure this!" 


(Next to the Pit)
And all of a sudden, something grabbed me and pulled me out of this cell.  I know it was the Lord, but then I didn't know that.  I was there as an unsaved person, so I didn't know these things.  I just went there as if I had never accepted the Lord.  I was placed over next to the fire that I had seen.  I was standing along side that pit.  I was beneath a cavern, like a giant cave, with a tunnel going up. 


Along side the fire I could see through the flames, just enough to see bodies, people in the fire screaming, screaming for mercy, burning in this place!  And I knew I didn't want to go in there.  The pain I'd endured already was bad enough, but the heat from that flame I knew was worse.  These people were begging to get out.


There were these big creatures lined all around the edge of this Pit, and as the people crawled up trying to get out, they would be shoved back in to the fire and not allowed out.  I thought, "Oh, this place is so horrible, so horrible and horrendous.


All this is going on at the same time.  You're thirsty, you're hungry, and you're exhausted.  You don't get to sleep in Hell either.  You need sleep just as you do now.  Your body needs sleep.  Rev 14:11 says,



And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night,...



You never get to sleep.  You can imagine how that is, never sleeping. 


Regarding the water, in Zechariah 9:11,



...I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.



Absolutely no water in Hell. 


I knew that Hell's location is in the center of the earth.  That's were it's at, in the center of the earth.  I understood that I was about 3700 miles deep in the earth.  We know that the earth's diameter is 8000 miles.  Half way would be about 4000.  I was about 3700 miles down.  In Ephesians 4:9 it says that Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth. 


In Numbers 16:32 says,



and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.



That's were Hell is right now.  Later Hell and Death will be cast into the Lake of Fire and then cast into Outer Darkness.  That's after Judgment Day, but right now it is in the earth. 


(Demons)
I was along side this pit of fire and I saw all these demons all lined up along the walls, all sizes and shapes of every kind, deformed, ugly creatures, you can imagine.  They were twisted, deformed creatures, huge ones, small ones.  There were giant spiders, huge spiders this big. (5 feet tall)  Rats, snakes and worms, because the Bible talks about worms that cover thee (
Isaiah 14:11).  There are all kinds of abominable creatures everywhere and they seemed to be chained to the walls.  I wondered "Why are these things chained to the walls".  I didn't understand that, but there's a scripture on that in Jude 1:6 says,



"And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;"



And so maybe that's what I saw, I don't know, but that is what it appeared to be.  I was glad because I didn't want them to get to me.  They all hated me with a passion!  That was another thing I didn't understand, they weren't just creatures, they had hatred towards mankind.  So I was glad they were chained to the walls.


I began to ascend up this pit in this tunnel, and to leave the flames.  Soon it got darker, but I could see all these demons along the walls and they had such awesome power.  I thought, "Who could fight off these creatures.  No one could fight these things."  But yet, that fear was so overwhelming, I just couldn't even stand the tolerating this fear. 


(No Hope)The worse thing in Hell, the worse thing, worse than all the torments, was I understood that, first of all, that there was life going on up here on the earth.  And that people up here, most people, had no idea that this world even existed down here!  They don't even know this is a real world down here and there's billions of people suffering and begging for one chance, if they had an opportunity to get out.  But they never get a chance to get out, and being mad at themselves for not taking the opportunity to have received Jesus, that they are stuck there forever. 


This is the worse thing about Hell, that there was absolutely no hope of ever getting out.  I understood that.  I grasped eternity.  I could understand eternity.  Here on earth, we can't quite, can't get a hold of it.  But there I understood it.  I knew I would be there forever and ever, and had no hope of getting out.  I thought about my wife.  I could never get to my wife!  I've always told her that if we were ever separated by any kind of earthquake or something horrible, I said "I'll get to you.  I will find you.  I'll get to you if we're ever apart."  But here I couldn't get to her.  I could never see her again.  She would never have any idea were I was, and I just could never ever talk to her again.  That thought just absolutely bothered me terribly!  To not be able to talk to her, get to her, and for her not to know where I was, and have no hope to ever get out!  You understand, you never get out of here, ever!  See on earth there's always hope.  Even people in concentration camps had a hope of getting out, or dying at least, to get out of it.  But we've never experienced a totally hopeless situation.  In Isaiah 38:18 it says,



"Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth."



No hope, and the truth is Jesus.  He is the truth. 


(Jesus appears)
About this time, I'm going up this tunnel, and I'm just in absolute fear, hopelessly lost, and fearing these demons.  All of the sudden, just all of the sudden, Jesus showed up!  "Praise you Lord", Jesus showed up.  This bright light lit up the place.  I only saw His outline, the outline of a man.  I couldn't see his face, it was so bright.  I just looked into this light and saw His outline.  And I just fell on my knees and collapsed.  I couldn't do anything but worship Him.  I was so grateful.  One second ago I was lost forever, and now all of the sudden I'm out of this place, because I had already known Jesus.  Those people can't get out, but I could because I was already saved.  I knew and understood that there was no way out of this place, only by Jesus.  He is the only way to keep from going to this place. 


In Rev 1:6 it says John, when he went to heaven, he saw Jesus, that His countenance was as the sun shining in its strength.  And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet as a dead man.  That's just how I did.  I fell at His feet like a dead man.  Now you would think that I had a million questions to ask him, but when you're there, all you can do is worship Him and praise His Holy Name, and thank Him for what He saved us from. 


When I got my composure, at least enough to start forming thoughts, I thought about saying to the Lord, I don't even think I asked Him out loud, I just thought it and He answered me.  I said, "Lord why did You send me to this place?  Why did you send me here?"  He said to me "Because people do not believe that this place exists."  He said "Even some of my own people do not believe this place is real."  I was shocked at that statement.  I thought every Christian has got to believe in Hell.  But not everyone believes in a literal burning Hell.  I said Lord "why did you pick me?"  But He didn't answer me on that question.


I have no idea why He picked me to go there.  I'm the least likely to go to this place.  My wife and I hate evil movies.  We hate anything bad.  I don't even like the summer time, much less heat.   It's filthy.  There's no order.  It's all chaos and disorder and disgusting.  And I love everything orderly and excellent.  He didn't answer me on that question.  He said to me, "Go tell them that I hate this place, that it's not my desire for one of my creation to go to this place, not one!  I never made this for man.  This was made for the devil and his angels.  You have to go and tell them!  I've given you a mouth, you go and tell them.


I thought to myself, "but Lord, they're not going to believe me.  They're going to think I'm crazy or had a bad dream."  I mean wouldn't you think that?  As I thought this the Lord answered me and He said, "It's not your job to convince them.  It's the Holy Spirit’s job!  You just go and tell them!"  And it was just inside, "Yes Sir!"  Absolutely, I have to go and tell them."  You can't worry and fear what man is going to think of you, you just have to go and do it and let God do the rest.  Amen?  And I said, "Lord, why did they hate me so much?"  "Why did these creatures hate me?"  He said, "Because you're made in my image, and they hate me."  You know the devil can't do anything against God.  He can't hurt God, per say, but he can hurt His creation.  That's why the devil hates mankind, and deceives him into taking him into Hell.  And he inflicts diseases upon him, anything he can do to hurt God's creation.


(The Peace of God)
And then God flooded me with His thoughts.  He let me touch a piece of His heart, of how much He loves mankind.  Unbelievable, I couldn't even take it.  It was so overbearing.  The love He has for man, you can't take it in this body.  You know how much we love our wives and our children?  Well the love we have can't even be compared to the love God has for us.  His love is infinitely greater than our love and our ability to love.  It's just the same as it says in 
Eph 3:19, ?..to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge...?/font>  It goes so far past knowledge, you can't even grasp it.  I couldn't believe how much He loved mankind, that He would die for just one person to not go to this place.  And it hurts Him so much to see one of His creation going to this place.  It pains the Lord, He weeps to see one person going.  And I felt so bad for the Lord. 


I felt His heart, He let me just touch a piece of His heart. He felt such sadness for His creation going there.  And I thought "I've got to go out and witness and take every last breath I have and go tell the world about Jesus, How good He is."  I mean, we have the gospel.  It's good news.  It's good news, and the world doesn't know.  They have to be told!  You know, we have to share this knowledge.  People just have a lack of knowledge in this area.  God wants us to share with them how good He is, and how He hates this place.


He said to me also, "Tell them I am coming very, very soon."  And He said it again, "Tell them I'm coming very, very soon."  Now I think, why didn't I say to him, "What do you mean Lord?  What's 'soon' to you?"  That's how we think.  But I didn't ask.  You just don't think to ask those things then.  You just want to worship Him so much.  The peace of God that comes over you being next to Him is unexplainable.  I've been in anointed services, but there is no comparison to the love and the peace of God you feel being next to Him. 


And then I looked up and I saw those demons on the wall, that were so ferocious, they looked like ants on the wall!  They just looked like ants!  They were still big, but with the power of God next to you, all of God's creative power, they looked like ants on the wall.  I couldn't get over it.  I thought, "Lord they're just ants!"  And He said, "You just have to bind them and cast them out in my name."  I thought "boy, the power He's given the church."  These things that were so ferocious, we were no match for a devil without Jesus, none.  They're ferocious, but with Him, they are nothing!   A boldness rose up in me right then, when I saw these creatures I felt like saying, "you creatures were the ones torturing me, wanting to tear me apart?  Come on!  Come on now!"  Maybe a little bit of my flesh rose up or something, you know, I thought,?i>Jesus get 'em." 


(Leaving Hell)As we left, we went up above the earth’s surface.  We went above, because we were still in a tunnel.  Soon I couldn't see it any more, but it was like a whirlwind, a giant whirlwind we were in.  We kept going up.  We had to go up, to get out of it apparently.  When we got to the top of it, I looked down at the earth and it was about this high.  The curve of the earth was like that.  It's awesome to look back at the earth!  I know God allowed that for me.  He could have left that tunnel any which way He wanted.  He knew in my heart, as a kid I always wanted to see what the earth looked like from space.  Maybe I watched too much Star Trek or something, you know?  I just thought it would be really neat to see the earth, and to see it hung on nothing.  Like the Bible says.  It says in Job 26:7,



He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.



As you look, you think, "What's holding this thing up?  What's making it turn so perfectly?"  God is in such control.  The power of God that flooded me, that He has, it's awesome.  He has so much power.  Every single thing is in His control.  Not a hair on your head falls to the ground that He doesn't know about.  Not a bird hits the ground that He doesn't know about.  I was flooded with these thoughts.  God has so much power.  It overwhelmed me.  There's scripture in Isaiah 40:22 that says the Lord sits upon the circle of the earth.  There I was upon the circle of the earth.  I even thought, "Lord, how come before Christopher Columbus they could have read that scripture and known the earth was round."  You know?  People wondered, they thought it was flat? 


Anyway, as we came back down we passed through the shields; I knew we were passing through the heat shield that was around the earth.  I just knew it.  I even thought stupid thought, here I am with God, and I thought, "I wonder how He's going to go through that shield?"   You know how in space they have to penetrate it at just the perfect angle.  We went through it with no problem what so ever.  No surprise!   I'm sure the Lord must have rolled His eyes and said 'I can handle that one'.  There is a scripture in Psalm 47:9 that says,



...For the shields of the earth belong to God...



He is in control of everything, everything.  I just didn't want Him to leave.  I just wanted to be in His presence.  We were coming up fast on California.  Just coming real fast, we were moving so quick, and came up to our house.  And I looked and I could see right through the roof of our house.  And I could see myself lying on the floor.  This really hit me strong, right here because I saw my body lying there and I thought, "That can't be me, I'm here, this is me!"  You know, you've never seen two of yourself.  Here I was laying there and I thought, "That's not really me."  And that scripture that Paul says, were we are just in a tent (2 Corinthians 5:1), that hit me so strong.  I thought "that's just a tent, that's nothing.  That's temporary.  This is the real me."  This is what eternity is all about.  That life that we worry about, it also hit me that we're a vapor, that life is just a vapor as in James 4:14 it talks about and how short this life is.  It's short.  A hundred years if you live, it's nothing!  It goes up like a vapor.  And I thought, "We’ve got to live for God."  What we do now, here, counts for eternity.  We've got to witness.  We've got to get out there and save the lost.  We can't worry about all these little petty things that we all get so tied up in and hung up on.  We need to really get out there and preach the gospel and the good news, because this is over real quick.


But I saw my body lying there and I thought it was just as if you got out of your car and looked back at your car.  That's not you, it's your car.  It just gets you around.  That's how it looked to me.  It just gets me around here on the earth, but this is the real me.  And I thought, "Lord don't leave, don't leave".  I just want to stay with You for a while. But He left.  I came up to my body, and something pulled me back into my body, like I was sucked back into my nose or my mouth. 


Right then, when He left, that's when all the fear, the torture, and the torment came back into my mind!  Because it says in the Bible (1 John 4:18), "Perfect love casts off fear."  So I was next to perfect love all that time, so that left me, and when He left, all of the sudden all of the fear and the horrors of Hell entered my mind.  I couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand it!  I was screaming.  I was in agony.  I couldn't live with it.  I knew that this body was not capable of withstanding that kind of fear.  You can't hold up under that kind of pressure.  Your body isn't strong enough.  So that's when I prayed and I was able to pray, "Take it out of my mind!"


In the natural, you would have to go through all kinds of counseling to get through this kind of trauma, but God took it out, instantly took it out, the trauma.  He left the memory, but took the trauma and the fear out.  I was so grateful. 


Anyway, after this, so many things happened, I wish we had time to go into all that God confirmed would happened to me. 


If there's someone here tonight, that doesn't know the Lord; you have to ask yourself a question.  You have to say, "Do I believe these people, that what they saw is real, all these people and myself??nbsp; But more importantly, what the Word of God says about Hell.  Do you want to take that chance and say, "No I don't believe it, I don't believe that's real."  You have to throw out all the Word of God, and all of us trying to tell you.  Are you willing to take that chance with your whole eternity?  That would seem pretty foolish to me.  You can't let the devil deceive you.  That big creature in the end there, that was laughing. (shown in the video)  That's how the devil would be when you got to Hell.  He would laugh, because you had an opportunity to receive the Lord and you missed it.  But once you're there, there is no turning back.  There's absolutely no turning back.  You would be there lost for ever.


You might be saying to yourself.  "I'm pretty good.  I'm a pretty good person. I don't deserve that place."  And you probably are pretty good, compared to most people.  But that's not what you need to compare yourself to.  We need to compare ourselves to God's standard.  His standard is so much higher than ours.  He says in the Word that if you lie once, just once in your whole life, that makes you a liar.  If you've stole one thing in your life, a paper clip, a couple minutes of your boss's time, anything, just once.  That makes you a thief.  If you were angry without cause, if you didn't forgive someone that did something wrong against you, if you lusted after a women, any of these things, if you just did it one time, that makes you a sinner, and you can't make it to heaven.  So you see all of us come short.  We all fall short and can't get there on our own works.  Titus 3:5 says,



Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us...



Amen, so it depends on how you compare.  It's like a woman that saw a flock of sheep on a hill, and they were all so white and beautiful against this hill.  She said, "Look at those white sheep, look how beautiful they look, so white."  She went to bed and overnight it snowed.  She looked up the next morning and saw the sheep and they all looked dull, dingy and gray compared to the white snow.  So we need to compare ourselves to God.  His standard is way higher than ours.  So we have need of a Savior.  We can't get there on our own.  God made it a free gift.  He said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No man come unto the Father but by Me."  He's the only way out of this place. 


So if there's anyone here who doesn't know the Lord, anyone here who really has never asked Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life.  You never really came to that point where you really had to voice it out your own mouth and ask Him to come into your life, would you stand up?  If there's anybody here would you stand up now, for Jesus?  Don't let the devil, that creature laugh at you.  Stand up now, when you have the chance, cause you don't know how much time we have.  You don't know that you might die tomorrow, and end up in that place.
