[14] Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and
opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and
their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Most expositors of today’s popular religious works
go to great lengths to work the weaponry of modern
technology into the Scriptures.
Ezekiel’s wheel within a wheel becomes a flying saucer; John’s scorpions
become enemy jet aircraft, and his horses are enemy tanks. But expositors of all ages have vainly
attempted to work the weaponry of their age into God’s word, and all have been
in error. Please do not
misunderstand. I am certainly aware
there will be a great Battle of Armageddon,
and I realize a large percentage of mankind will be killed by his own
weaponry. And also please understand
that some passages in the Scriptures may well refer to man’s weaponry of the
last days, but I am simply saying it has been greatly overplayed. The vast majority of mankind killed in the
world, even during the Battle of Armageddon, will not be by man’s hand, but
rather by God unleashing the natural forces of His creation. God will destroy man “with the earth.” Isaiah 5:14 portrays red hot liquid rock from hell
pouring out upon the surface of God’s earth.
Hell literally enlarges itself by expanding out onto the surface of the
earth as God opens the deep mouths in the crust of it (Shown as dashed lines in
Figure 3). Hell will flow upward to the
surface of the earth without measure.
Today many modernistic theologians believe hell is a mystical, spiritual
place somewhere in the mind, a spiritual concept, rather than an actual place
of fiery torment. But hell is a real,
literal place of fire and liquid hell in the interior of the earth, where the
departed souls of all the lost are kept until the Great White Throne Judgment
of Revelation 20:11-15. And, where these
great interior lakes of liquid rock exist, it is dark as pitch and hot as hell. I believe God has confined the souls of the
dead, who died in a lost condition, to these underground liquid lakes of
hell. I know that God does confine
spiritual beings to material places. One
such example is found in Revelation 9:14. [14] Saying
to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound
in the great river Euphrates. Angels are certainly spiritual beings, and the
Euphrates River is certainly a literal, physical place. If you want personal proof, then look in a
mirror. Inside that literal, physical,
material body is confined a spiritual soul that is confined to live there until
physical death occurs. Amos identifies the
literal hell as a place you reach by digging downward. [2] Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine
hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: Proverbs portrays hell as existing in the earth
beneath our feet. [24] The way of life is above to the wise, that he
may depart from hell beneath. Isaiah indicates that hell is located such that it
must be moved upward from beneath to meet someone coming down from the earth’s
surface. [9] Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee
at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the
earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. The earth itself is the bottomless pit that
enshrouds a literal interior hell of hot, liquid rock. And it is the upward extension of this hell
upon the surface of the earth that will destroy most of the antichrist’s
army. (See Birth Pang Numbers 8, 15,
& 16) I call your attention to Part A of Figure 24. Please note that God has very conveniently
created a major fault line that runs as an offshoot from the Jordan River
Valley northwestward toward Haifa. The
placement of this offshoot fissure is very
interesting in regards to the Battle of Armageddon. The fault line runs directly through, and
under, a great valley extending from Wadi el Yabis on the Jordan River to
Haifa. This great valley, through which
it extends, actually consists of two valleys linked together, the lower valley
being known as the Valley of Jezreel.
Near the place where these two valleys meet, on the south face of its
southern bluff, sets the Tel of Megiddo, Armageddon. The two valleys are often erroneously called
the Valley of Armageddon. It is in this
valley where the hottest battle of this Gentile Age will be waged. At the same time that God rips apart the
Jordan Valley, to create a raging flood basalt plain in the Jordan Valley from
the Gulf of Aqabah northward to the place the Jezreel intersects the Jordan
plain, the fissure from that point, which extends northwestward to Haifa, will
tear in several places to produce cinder cone eruptions along it. This will not be nearly as bad as what
happens to antichrist’s army in the flood basalt zone, but it will kill a large
number of his troops. BIRTH PANG NUMBER 17
