everyone will face the same situation after death. Since Christianity began two thousand years ago, tens of billions of people have believed and have faced the spiritual world. But everyone has been dragged into Hades, except the martyrs (Rev. 6:9, 20:4). When you die, two demons, with two horns and a tail, come and drag you into Hades. We cannot avoid it. You do not want it, but your soul will see how it will be dragged out of your body.

When we are living in this world, we do not think about death seriously. But at the moment you die, you will realize your body is nothing. Even rich people or kings are horrified when they are to see the lake of fire in hell. It is horrible fate to stay there for eternity.

The revenge of God will be ferocious. Paul described how God will take revenge on his enemies, “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord” (Rom. 12:19). Moses killed twenty-three thousand people one day who objected to him, but that’s nothing for God (1Cor. 10:8).

Dear people, take a look at a trial in this world. Even a confident person might feel scared when standing in front of a judge. According to the judgment, he will go to prison or be free. So he would become humble and gentle to ask for mercy.

Dear people, judgment in this world might sound horrible to you, but imagine how terrifying the judgment in the spiritual world would be. It is possible that you might see a close friend as your judge in the spiritual world, but there will be no mercy on your sins. Even among us in our church, there are some people who will become judges and others who will have to face judgment. It’s up to you.

You are not competing with only people in our church for a place in the spiritual world, but with everyone who has believed in Jesus in the last two thousand years. It’s a good fight (1Tim. 1:18). I, the servant of God, put all my effort for you to avoid this scary situation. I want to make you the judge. You do not even know how precious I am for you now, but you will know it in the spiritual world and will
