True banzie. How true. Even the
evil spirits begged Jesus not to send them back into Hell, but into
the pigs instead.
Anyway one more thing I should add. The kind of "war" that happened
in Heaven, with Lucifer against Michael is not a physical war. But
rather a spiritual one. As angels are celestial beings, they do not
have a body that bleeds. The kind of battle that happened then, and
now, and in the future will be the fight for souls.
I'm not sure if anyone does understand. Satan is the accuser of our
brothers Day and Night. He is like the prosecutor in court. What is
the kind of "weapon" a prosecutor in court has against the accused?
The dirty laundries, the darkest secret, will be exposed and blame
after blame, layer after layer like kuey lapis, will Satan accuse
the person, of reason how he/she has fallen from grace in Adam, and
the right for them to be sentenced to eternal damnation in
Hell.
And there Michael stood, the defendant of God's people. Defending
the souls of God's people. ok shan't go too deep into it ; j
Hell is not just a place deprived of God's presence or blessing.
Now, where does the Bible describe hell as a torture chamber? Well,
actually it doesn't. It's not Dante's Inferno with Devils poking
people with pitchforks. God is not into torturing people himself
either (neither is the devil, or the fallen angels as they will be
in torment too). Those who go there choose to go in rejection of
God's love, and the agony they will have is self inflicted as a
direct, and deliberate decision to go away from Him because they
hate His authority. They do not want his rulership over their
lives. It is like a child not listening to its parent who tells
them not to go near the stove when its hot, they don't listen and
get burned. God doesn't want anyone to go there and has done what
He can to keep people from going there but they have exercised the
choice not to listen.
For those who have rejected the Lord, there will be no more people
to frustrate them, they won't be around them anymore. What is hell
going to be like? One thing for sure Hell is not a place of eternal
sunburn. The Bible describes it as darkness, loneliness, thirst,
torment.
A place where we would not want even our enemies to go
to.
