Dear Friend:
Have you thought where you will spend the rest of Eternity, when you leave this world??
Eternity for each of us begins in this world, and will continue after we die!! The most important Question which you and I have to answer is this: WHERE WILL I SPEND THE REST OF ETERNITY??
In John 11: 25, 26, Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ) told Martha (when her brother Lazarus, had died):
25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Yahushua (Jesus), also told the story in Luke 16: 19-31, about the Rich man, and the beggar, Lazarus. In due course both of them died. Lazarus, who was a poor beggar, in his lifetime, who had sat at the rich man’s gate, hoping to be fed from the crumbs which fell from his table, and whose sores the dogs licked; had committed his life to Yahweh and had served him. Thus when he died, because he had made ample provision for his eternal home and the rest of Eternity (his, longest and most important time), went to Heaven to Father Abraham’s bosom. It was only his body which died and was buried. However, his soul (spirit and soul), his true person, who inhabited his body during his lifetime, did not die. Instead as soon as he died, he went to Heaven and Paradise. Today, Lazarus is still in heaven enjoying eternity.
On the other hand, the rich man, who had an abundance of riches in this world; and who had lived sumptuously, did not make provision concerning where he would spend the rest of Eternity. Thus when he died, his body was buried and returned to the earth, while his soul (spirit and soul) went on to Hell or Hades. He was in torment ( and is still in torment) and cried out to Father Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and put it on his tongue. However, that request was too late. Realising his own fate, his selfishness left him because he had five brothers who were still alive, and whom he did not want to enter the torment of Hell with him. Thus, he begged Father Abraham to inform them about the importance of accepting and giving their lives to Yahweh (God), lest they too should end up in Hell and torment.
The rich mans request was answered almost two thousand years later, in December 2001, when Daniel Ekechukwu, a Nigerian pastor, was resurrected after three days, following fatal car accident in Nigeria. He was taken to Heaven and then to Hell, itself, to witness first hand, what was happening there. He was then told by the angel who accompanied him, that he was chosen to go back in answer to the rich man’s request. His story is a very interesting one. You can get the Video with his story from:

You can also hear the story of Ian McCormack, a New Zealander, who was stung several times by deadly sea wasps, or jelly fish, while swimming in Mauritius, in 1982. He also died and was taken to both Hell and Heaven and later resurrected to inform the world of Yahushua’s soon Return to this world. His story is on the Video and DVD:

Sadly, many people believe that while they are in this world, it is for them to live and please self, because when they die, that is their total end. THAT IS SATAN’S DECEPTION AND ONE OF HIS GREATEST LIES!! Thus each day, people are dying and finding themselves in Hell, that terrible place of torment, from where they cannot escape; and where they will have to spend the rest of eternity. However that will not be the only suffering they will endure because far greater suffering awaits them in the final Judgment at the end fo this world!! At that time they will face King Yahushua (who died to save them from that terrible fate) and receive from Him their just reward in the lake of fire and brimstone (where they will be tormented for the rest of eternity), along with Satan, who deceived them (Matthew 25: 41,46; Luke 16: 19-25; Revelation 20: 7-15).
The final Judgment WILL BE A REALITY!! Concerning this, we are told in Revelation 20: 7-15
The Destruction of Satan
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from [Yahweh] God out of heaven, and devoured them.10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Final Judgment
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before [Yahushua] God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
THE KINGDOM OF GLORY AND THE NEW EARTH FOR THE RIGHTEOUS!!
On the other hand for those who have accepted Yahushua (Jesus) as their Saviour, they do not have to fear death. Rather it is something to look forward. Thus Paul assures us in 2 Corinthians 5: 1-9:

On the other hand for those who have accepted Yahushua (Jesus) as their Saviour, they do not have to fear death. Rather it is something to look forward. Thus Paul assures us in 2 Corinthians 5: 1-9:
1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. (KJV).
Likewise, for Yahushua's children who will be alive when He returns, there is the following assurance:
For [Yahushua] the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of [Yahweh] God: and the dead in [Ha Mashiach] Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet [Yahushua] the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with [Yahushua] the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4: 16,17.
We are given the further assurance:
4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of [Yahushua] Jesus, and for the word of [Yahweh] God, and which had not worshipped the beast [Satan], neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of [Yahweh] God and of [Ha Mashiach] Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years [i.e. in Heaven, followed by the new earth, as we are assured in Revelation 21 and 22] . Revelation 20: 4-6.
My Friend and child of Yahweh!!
Please know and understand that Yahweh (God) brought you into this world for a purpose!! YOU ARE VERY PRECIOUS TO HIM!! That is the reason He emptied Heaven and sent His only begotten Son (not a biological Son), Yahushua Ha Mashiach , to this world just over 2000 years ago. He sent Him to suffer and shed His blood for you, to save you from Hell when you die, followed by the final Judgment; when those who reject Him, will be cast into the lake of fire along with Satan and his angels (Revelation 20: 5-15).
Yes! You are precious to our Elohim (God): Yahweh, our Father, Yahushua Ha Mashiach, our Saviour and Adonai (Lord), and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit, our Elohim her upon earth, who is our Teacher, Leader, Comforter and constant Guide.
Today, Yahushua wants to save you by His grace, His unmerited favour, free of cost. Concerning this the Scripture says:
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2: 8,9 (KJV).
Today, Yahushua who died for you to save you in His Kingdom of Glory, is ready and waiting to forgive you of your sins and to save your soul; so that if you should die at any moment, you will be safe in His care. (Daily people are dying, especially from the great disasters which are coming upon this world, and we could go at any time. Therefore, it is important that we are prepared and ready at all times to leave this world). It does not matter what you have done, including murders or armed robberies, Yahushua, who loves you, ready and willing to forgive you. Thus He assures you:

It does not matter what you have done, including murders or armed robberies, Yahushua, who loves you, ready and willing to forgive you. Thus He assures you:
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6: 37 (KJV).
If you have not yet fully accepted Yahushua as your Saviour and Adonai (Lord), and would like to do so; so that you will be saved in His eternal Kingdom of peace and joy, please say this simple prayer:
Dear Yahushua: Thank You that You that out of Your love for me, You came from Your throne in Heaven, to this world; where You suffered and died on a Cross for my sins. I am sorry for the wrong things I have done. Please forgive me of my sins and please come into my heart, and be my Lord and my Saviour. Please save my soul by Your grace, baptise and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, the Ruach Ha Kodesh, and please help me each day for the rest of my life, to live a life that is patterned after the life You lived, while You were here in this world. Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer, please get a Bible (if you do not have one) and read it each day. You can begin with the Gospels, reading the Book of Mark or John to begin with, so that you can learn more about Yahushua, the King of Heaven, who loves you and shed His blood to save you. Please also pray to Yahweh (God) our Father, each day, in Yahushua's name.
Prayer is talking to Yahweh, as you would speak to your friend. Just reverently call His name and then in Yahushua's name, tell Him whatever is on your heart. Yahushua tells us in John 14: 13-14, that whatever we ask the Father in His name, that He will do it for us.
(An example of one of Yahushua’s Prayer, is found in Matthew 6: 6-13).
You will also need to join yourself to the body of Yahushua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), where you can be nourished, grow and fellowship with like believers who worship Him. Therefore, please find a body of believers who love and serve their Elohim (God) and follow the Word of Yahushua. Please also ensure that the group, ministry, fellowship or church you choose to make your spiritual home, is a place where the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) who is our Elohim (God) here upon earth, is in control and manifest His power.
Please Note: There is only one sin, which Yahushua says will not be forgiven. That Sin, is to blaspheme against the Ruach HaKodesh. That sin is committed when anyone ascribes the works of healing and other miracles, which the Ruach Ha Kodesh, does through the followers of Yahushua, to the demon, Satan.
Sadly, this is a common sin among many who profess to be Christians and followers of Yahushua. Yahushua tells us about the seriousness of this terrible sin in Matthew 12: 22-32. By Yahushua’s grace, I hope you have not committed that sin, the unpardonable Sin of Blasphemy.
Dear Friend:
Please remember that:
YAHUSHUA LOVES YOU!! THAT HE DIED FOR YOU!! THAT HE ROSE AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN FOR YOU!! THAT HE IS COMING SOON TO THIS WORLD FOR HIS CHILDREN AND THAT HE WANTS YOU TO BE SAVED IN HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GLORY!!
WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE GIFT OF LIFE IN THIS WORLD. HOWEVER, THIS GIFT COULD BE TAKEN FROM US AT ANYTIME, REGARDLESS OF AGE.THEREFORE, THE QUESTION IS:
SHOULD YOU DIE TODAY, WILL YOU BE READY TO GO HOME TO GLORY AND BE WITH YAHUSHUA?
OR
SHOULD YAHUSHUA RETURN TO THIS WORLD TODAY, WOULD YOU BE AMONG THE REDEEMED WHO WILL BE CAUGHT UP IN THE AIR TO MEET HIM AND TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER?
By Yahushua's grace may you be ready to meet Him all times, and to share the rest of eternity with Him in His Kingdom of Glory.
May the blessings of Yahweh, our Heavenly Father; Yahushua Ha Mashiach, our Saviour and Adonai (Lord); and the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit), our Comforter be with you always.
Ellisa .
(servant of Yahushua Ha Mashiach).
