HELL RISING
1-8-11
As I was looking out over the earth the other day, seeing all the violence and hate and the corruption of mankind, my heart sank deep within me.
Jesus gave Himself over to torture and death to spare us from ourselves, yet this is the state of things on earth. It’s as if He was never here at all.
Then the Father came to me and showed me something I had never seen. It was hell, in its entirety, and it was rising up. Hell was literally moving up as if to catch the wicked in its mouth.
For a moment I was glad, but then I sorrowed that mankind had brought itself to the nearness of hell through their works of darkness. I remembered that the Scriptures say that hell was enlarged to accommodate man.
But then, the Father showed me something else. He showed something that is happening at the same time hell is rising: HEAVEN IS DESCENDING. Heaven is coming closer to us, to get our attention, to offer the sacrifice that saves us.
Whatever this truly means, the Father knows. One thing is certain: His coming is closer than when we first believed.
