Is Hell Eternal?

My friends, without further ado I welcome you all in the name of the immortal Christ. Indeed, it is by his breath and will that our paths have crossed and surely, there are many things he will unveil to us as we embark on this journey together. Behold the open door in heaven, listen to the voice now beckoning us upward. The time to come up is NOW, the time to awake is NOW, the time to become is NOW.

Many times we have reiterated on here that the Bible was not written in english, neither was it written by english people. To get more out of the Bible, one has to revert to the original language and cultural context to extract the richer and more intentional meaning of words.

For so long we have believed of an eternal hell where people are thrown into for eternity, that is, a place where time does not exist. Interestingly however, when one investigates the actual words used to describe hell, we always see it associated with time:

'And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”' Matthew 25:46

'The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.' Revelation 20:10

'These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, ' II Thessalonians 1:9

Here we see the english translation 'ever-lasting' and 'forever and ever' but when we investigate this in the greek language, something interesting appears before our eyes. The word translated as 'ever-lasting' and 'forever' is the greek word 'aionios'. The word 'aionoos' literally means 'age-lasting'; literally.

In plain language, an 'age' speaks of a period of TIME. An age is a measurement of time, whether it be 5 years or 5 million years; an age speaks of a cycle. That is why we have 'stone age', 'ice age' etc. Usually, especially in ancient times, the word 'age' was used specifically to describe extremely lengthy periods of time; periods recording certain epochs in human history; periods so lengthy that they can be considered an eternity. Nonetheless however, it is still time.

Astronomically speaking, an age refers to the period of time in which our solar system travels through one zodiacal constellation of stars. Based on measurements, this takes sometime between 1,950 to 2,250 years. It is no secret that we, humans of this plaent, measure our time by the movements of the heavenly bodies in relationship to us.

A day is as a result of the earth completing a spin on its axis; a month is as a result of the the moon completing a revolution around the earth; a year is the revolution of the earth around the sun; a great or stellar year is the movement of the sun around the zodiacal houses. All these are different kinds of ages but they still refer to time, that is, something that BEGINS and ENDS.

From the word greek word 'aionos' is derived the english word 'eon', which we also know speaks of a lengthy period of time but time nonetheless. Sincerely, there is no single Jewish rabbi I have encountered who ratifies the modern concept of an eternal hell. It is so erroneous and so unbiblical that I don't wish to spend any more time going through multiple scriptures evidencing this.

There is nowhere in the Bible that speaks of Hell or even the Heavens being timeless places. Genesis chapter 1 shows us that even the heavens have a beginning; a beginning in GOD.

'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ' Genesis 1:1

Certainly, for it to have a beginning it must surely have an end. Not even heaven is spoken of as a permanent place. Why? Because reality is in a constant state of motion, anything can change at any moment. Though we find some solace is being static, frozen, reality does not really work that way; everything is in a constant state of motion; constantly changing. No company can exist perpetually if it is not dynamic; adapting to the constant changes in its environment.

Even God revealed himself to Moses as EHEIEH ASHER EHEIEH, which literally means I WILL BECOME WHAT I WILL BECOME. According to the Hebrews, this is the actual translation of the word which was wrongly translated as I AM THAT I AM. God is not an I AM but an I WILL BE. I AM is static, frozen like a blood clot. I WILL BE is in motion, flowing like a river.

This is why God can BECOME a healer, BECOME a comforter, BECOME a disciplinarian, BECOME a confidant. God is in a constant state of becoming, becoming, becoming.

THE ETERNAL NOW

Reality is constantly moving, constantly changing. All of matter in every dimension is in a state of vibration; motion. That which was manna yesterday can become poison today. What happened to be a genius plan given by God 20 years ago could fail woefully in this time. This is why Jesus said "give us this day our daily bread", because reality exists in the eternal now. Every moment is new with fresh possibilities and fresh opportunities.

We can decide in this moment to be different but only in this moment can we do it. We can't do it yesterday and we can't do it tomorrow. We can only do it RIGHT NOW. Right now is the only thing that is real, right now is all that exists. The past used to be NOW; the future will become NOW; all that exists is the present moment; all that exists is right NOW.

I must declare with boldness that heaven and hell are not the hereafter, neither are they something of the past; heaven and hell are right here and now. The past exists right now as a memory, the future exists right now as potential. Reality exists from moment to moment, instant to instant, the only thing that matters is right now.

Being perpetual in heaven is a result of where our hearts are tuned to, being perpetual in hell is as a result of where our hearts are tuned to. Heaven and Hell are not necessarily things given to us but consequences of the choices we make RIGHT NOW. Right now, are we listening to God or listening to the flesh?

Heaven and hell are not something experienced only when the body goes to dust, heaven and hell are experienced when the consciousness of man is either tuned to the frequency of God or the flesh; whether the person is in or outside of her body. Just like radio frequencies 93.7 & 101.5, heaven and hell are frequencies in nature; to vibrate in those frequencies is to BE in heaven or hell.

'For if you live (vibrate) according to the (frequency of) the flesh you will die; but if by (vibrating to) the (frequency of) the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ' Romans 8:13-14

The frequency of hell is lust, anger, greed, manipulations, calumny, slander, resentment, bitterness, impatience and the like. To live, move, and have our being in this nature is to be in hell, even though we are still in our physical body. Like oil mixed with water, the carnal nature and the heavenly nature will always repel each other; seeing as they are nothing alike. This is why Paul said:

'Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions,

heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.' Galatians 5:19-21

Even though it is written that God sends people down to hell, as we discussed extensively in the previous posts, it is man who casts himself down to hell by choosing to continue in a nature that is completely antagonistic to the heavens.

Saying God sends people to hell is like a man jumping into a lake with a 2,000 kilogram stone strapped to his waist and blaming God for drowning. Heaven is a consequence of the choices we make right now, the frequency we choose to vibrate in and so is hell.

How can we perpetually sow stones into the soil of reality yet expect a harvest of oak and lavender? Indeed, Hosea made no mistake in saying:

'“They sow the wind, And reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; It shall never produce meal. If it should produce, Aliens would swallow it up.' Hosea 8:7

The frequency of Heaven is love, patience, meekness, gentleness, graciousness, wisdom, self control. To perpetually 'vibrate' in this frequency is to be 'heavenly'; it is to be in heaven. Heaven is state of the consciousness and a dimension simultaneously.

'No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who IS in heaven. ' John 3:13

Jesus, whilst physically present on earth, declared boldly that the son of man IS in heaven. Not was or will be but IS in heaven. Even though people saw his carnal body of flesh and blood upon the earth, he, the one who was inside of that body, was not on earth but in heaven. He was CONSTANTLY and PERPETUALLY in heaven, even though his physical body was present upon the earth; his physical body was only a disguise.

It is in this moment relevant to remind us that there exists a supreme distinction between the consciousness, the soul, or essence of man, and the various bodies which the soul utilizes for the sake of expression. It no secret that I, who write to you in this moment, am not my physical body of flesh and blood, neither am I my emotional matrix, neither am I my mental cosmos.

My mind, my emotions, and my physical body, are simply 'bodies', 'containers' or 'vehicles', which I use to express myself on the various dimensions of existence. And I, in my purest state, am but a body, a container, a vessel, in which my own individual and particular inner Christ will express himself.

The degree to which I, the soul, the essence, the consciousness, am harmonized with my inner Christ is the degree to which he can express himself through me. My inner Christ, that is, the unique and distinct piece of God which exists within me, is in himself also a container of expression of THE FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.

One cannot have their radio perpetually tuned to the frequency of 101.5 (hell) and curse the radio if they don't enjoy the music of 93.7 (heaven). Oil and water don't mix, lions and gazelles don't lay together, foxes and rabbits do not fraternize; they are against themselves.

'For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. ' Galatians 5:17

A person living in accordance with the frequency of hell is already in hell, the physical body is only a disguise. This is why when we get angry (hell frequency), everything around us makes us angrier, we are unable to see anything as beautiful or comely. After the anger subsides, and we hear the other person's explanation with a calmer mind, we then say 'ohhh, I didn't know that was what you were saying'.

Why couldn't we know? Is it not the same words said to us whilst angry that was said to us when we became calm? Every emotion and 'feeling' is a place, a dimension, a state. When we enter into such state, everything we see, we see and perceive through the lens of that state we are in. Thats why overexcited and angry people both make bad choices. Life is only complete in the balance.

Why is it that when we vibrate in deep lust (hell frequency), anything that fits our sexual desires excites and stimulates us? After we then fulfil the orgasm, the same pornographic video we watched or person who intensely aroused us then becomes disgusting or unexciting.

Do we not see how the consciousness of man tunes in and out of different frequencies of nature continuously? Where however is his consciousness perpetually? It is necessary we begin taking inventory of ourselves and the state of our hearts and begin working with the Holy Spirit, in order begin to harmonize ourselves to his rythm, dancing to his flow. Remember what Jesus said:

'and saying: ‘We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.’' Matthew 11:17

In the second half of this post I will narrate a few things I personally saw and verified in sojourns God took me on into the hell regions.

To be in heaven is to CONSTANTLY be in tune with the nature of God, dancing to his rhythm, DESPITE whatever might be happening in our immediate environment. Was there any amount of whips that could make Jesus stop loving those people? It was impossible. Though his body was in pain, he, who was inside the body, was FAR ABOVE IT.

This is what it means to LIVE in the spirit.
