Richard your post really blessed me. Please say a pray for my lovely niece Michelle, and my cousin Shari. God richly bless you, and I agree 100% with you on Pastor Doug! He is my go to Pastor. ❤🙏
"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace. Who bring glad tidings of good things." God bless all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. PTL
In Christ, you will. Of your own, you will not. Only through Him di we have access to righteousness, forgiveness, redemption and mercy. Give your all to Him, even your sins. Let Him overcome your sins- you cannot overcome the Devil on your own. Only Jesus can. Pray for the Holy Spirit, and for Him to guide you into all truth, then read Ephesians 2:8 - 18.
Thankyou Pstr Doug for your clarity on eternal suffering in hell. I decided many years ago I didn't believe The Shepherd who looks for one lost sheep would cause such gross suffering for lost sheep...it didn't fit, Thankyou.
Heard most of lectures before but I just cant find a reason not to stay tuned again and be reminded over and over of these essential facts. God bless you pastors and every single member and branch of your team and ministry. Praying to God always. Amazing Facts has been used by God to give me the light, the answers to the question I use to brainstorm with own curiosity. Glory and praise to God for this ministry. Hoping to be of God's purpose soon too. God's will.
Watching from Sweden Gratefully Humbled and Thankful to all These programs Been Truly a Blessing in the TRUTH of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. Even So Maranatha Lord Jesus King of Kings and Lord of Lords Lion of the tribe of Judah🙏🏼🔥♥️🇸🇪
Absolutely excellent Pastor Doug! God’s love is infinite, I know I love God whole heartedly, yet my love is like an atom and his is the complete Universe , if one were to try to measure the loves. I know God would not have a sinner burn for eternity, thank you for this very important teaching, loving the revelation Now Episodes. Bless You all.
Thank you for your comment! We are so glad you could join us for the programs. God's love is truly a wonderful and powerful thing. May He bless and guide you in your walk with Him! - The Amazing Facts team
These teachings are so fantastic! My spirit witnesses to the truth of what is being taught. I ask that you pray for me to share this word with those that need/want to hear it! I am responsible for this, and would like to communicate these truths clearly. Thank you for this series! It is a great blessing!
So thankful for the Series, & for the work God allows you to do... As I watch, not only does it refresh my memory, but it also brings me to pray for those searching for these truths & for those watching, that they may understand God’s amazing love & choose to accept His gift of Salvation. I pray that you all are given the right words to explain their questions in a way they may understand. Please remember to over explain specially in those difficult themes, just in case the questions are coming from new listeners of God’s Word. For some it’s easier than others, keep it in mind, & thank you again for all that you do. 💕🙏🏼💞 Blessings from Massachusetts!
Hello Desire! Thank you for your message. We are blessed to be able to share in the Lord's work during these important times. May God bless you. - The Amazing Facts team
@@PastorBatchelor Revelation 13:5, NLT says: "Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months.", so this could imply that the Tribulation will last 3.5 years. I also remember having read somewhere else in the Bible that it is mentioned that the time of hardship (Tribulation) will last 3.5 years.
I just wanted you to know that I'm listening from Bismarck North Dakota. Your meetings have brought me encouragement and back to Jesus and to know that I can have an abiding walk with him and I can overcome sin and help me to understand salvation and so many other things. God richly bless you and all of the team at amazing facts. I'm also sharing this message with three other people one who is not a Christian and end to the flat Earth religion. But I know that Jesus loves him and will do everything you can to save him. Please pray for Jamie and his whole family. Thank you very much.
Amazing presentation as always guys! I pray that God blesses everyone watching this. May your hearts be lifted up in joy, love & peace. I pray also that the Holy Spirit fills whatever voids anyone is feeling at this time through His power and love! God bless each of you!
"For the LORD thy GOD is a consuming fire, even a jealous GOD." Deuteronomy 4:24. The LORD purifies our soul as sinner, cleansing us from sin. Sin's curse and GOD's goodness cannot co-exist forever. There is an end to sin and goodness to return back forever as was in the beginning. So hell is to finally to end sin and suffering and death permenantly. Praise GOD for the Gospel and about hell...
@@verorsosa100 So true. It’s so sad when people use substances, objects or people to fill the empty void when all they need is Jesus. Those things may give temporary happiness, but Jesus is eternal.
I'm learning so much! thank you God and thank you to Amazing Facts Ministry. I think the reason God didn't end sin 1:22:23 with the flood is because he gave the devil a time...and God doesn't break his promise so he couldn't take back his world before Lucifer's time expired.

When Jesus comes the second time and meet His chosen people, dead and the living in the air, what will happen to those souls of the dead who have not followed and accepted Jesus?
They remain asleep until the end of the 1000 years of Gods people being in heaven and judging them. Refer to Revelation 20:4 & 5 and 1 Corinthians 6:2 & 3. Rev 20, verse 4 says, "And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years", and verse 5, "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished". During this time Satan is all alone on the earth with no one to deceive, see verse 3. After the 1000 years are over the dead are raised and Satan will then gather together all the lost to battle against God's new city and then fire comes down from the heavens, see verse 9.

Brother Dough, I visited Sodom and Gomorrah in 2014; I just took many pictures and captured the structures that leave no doubt of their existence. In 2019, during Passover, I returned to the ruins of Gomorrah; I did not find any Sulfur balls; but I did find a bone protruding from a vertical structure. Having no time to try to dig it out then, I returned to Israel for Tabernacles 2019; it was then I went back to the same spot and was able to retrieve about a 5 inch ending at a joint. I brought it to the States with me. Not sure what to do with it, I decided I would take it back to Israel in 2020 and turn it over to the I.A.A (Israel Antiquities Authority), along with the videos showing the extraction and location. The I.A.A has not made known to the world Ron Wyatt's archeological findings in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and Jerusalem; it is very unlikely they would disclose to the public the finding of this Four thousand year old bone. I, like thousands of other people are holding round trip tickets to Israel since the beginning of 2020; yet, they continue the shutdown for outsiders; the insiders have to remain Locked-in. I don't want to continue in posession of this bone; it will have to travel back alone, via FedEx I guess? The Truth be Told !!! _Luke 17: 32_
I'd like to hear your explanation about Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16. The rich man is tormented in the flame vs 24, while having a conversation with Abraham.
Excellent question, Mark! Here is a link to a study booklet that discusses this subject. God bless you. - The Amazing Facts team www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/71/t/the-rich-man-and-lazarus
Pastor Doug, Acts 1:3 says that Christ was with them for 40 days after His resurrection. In that case, they were in the upper room for ten days before Pentecost?
Great question! Here is the link to a portion of our radio program that discusses this subject. May God bless you. -The Amazing Facts team --www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/media/e/1021/f/6/t/what-about-cremation-

I had my ex pastor tell me that if my Downs Syndrome daughter didn't repent and ask Jesus into her heart (which had two holes in it) and get babtized she was going to go to hell. I was a single mum and that blew my heart apart. (Calvary Pastor)
I'm so glad that the former pastor is no longer a pastor. GOD is merciful, gracious, pure and holy. HE knows the heart , and will do what is right. Be encouraged.
People Don,t get it! It,s not about us, it,s our love for The Lord. Our God will just sadly exterminate us. He will not cause undue pain to His unbelieving children
If God generously rewards equally like the parable of the laborers in the vineyard. Then who is to say that God would not punish equally those who die in sin?
In my opinion, the same fire will also be necessary to cleanse the solar system which has been polluted with all the space shuttles sent there as well as on the earth surface to burn up all those pollutants such as plastics and bottles which are not biodegradable and dangerous machines like nuclear weapons invented by men to destroy each other.
Our God is a fair God. Hell will be different and tailored for each of those who are not saved. The worse your crimes against Yahuah, the worse the punishment. If someone hears The Good News of Yeshuah shedding His blood and dying for our sins, and rejects Ha'mashiach, there is a special place in Hell for them as well.
Is there a hell? Thought we might be living in it,cos it,s not like some believe that we may continue to burn forever, maybe we,re in it now. Also, do you think the martyrs were anetheatized, think I spelt that correctly incorrectly, but how do you sing when you,re burning? Xxxx
The 'hell' is the earth and all its sin, the devil and his angles, and all the wicked being burned up - See Revelation 20:9 & 10. And no I don't think that, many were tortured, beheaded and burned at the stake in the dark ages, were no drugs to put you to sleep back then. And yes I heard some stories of martyrs being burned at the stake and singing amazing grace and didn't seem to be feeling any pain. I think because of their faith, even up until death, that God took away their pain and let them go to sleep quickly.
What about the following in Luke 16? 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”… if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’ You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you? In anger, his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed. (Forever) That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart. How is this temporary destruction? if even the worms never die? and why would the other sinners cast into the lake of fire not burn forever? If heaven is forever why isn't hell forever? Where is the justice in that? If God is infinitely holy and good there must be an equal punishment for denying him and leading others away from an eternity in heaven.
The Bible is clear on this teaching, people's opinions not the word of God seem to be plentiful but Luke 16: 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented Pastor Doug - rethink your teaching. God bless you brother.
@@mergned you’ve got to look at context, the story of Lazarus is a PARABLE, the very nature of which is not to be taken literally. I really do think Pastor Doug has got his theology spot on with this one 🙂
@D Richardson Anyone who is outside of Christ when they die perishes in the second death. Anyone who rejects salvation is outside of salvation. Annihilationism is not biblical and is an idea held by very few in the Church. It's the equivalent of saying well why can't gays be together if they love each other? Why would God condemn that? Your ways are not God's ways, neither is our understanding his understanding. He is the one who judges a life, not us, but according to his word anyone who rejects him goes to hell a place of eternal separation and hell eventually ends up in the fire.
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this: Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you! Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything. Xxxx
