According to Matthew 25:41, Hell is a place prepared for the Devil and his angels. The reason is that they rebelled against God. In v. 41, we are told that the “cursed” will be separated from God by being cast into everlasting fire. The greater context of this verse begins in v. 31. It is not a parable Jesus told (story using earthly objects to explain spiritual truth). Instead, it is truth about His coming.

For those of you who don't know, Joel Rosenberg has an uncanny ability to "predict," through his fiction work, future events. This book, in its original and almost finished form, predicted the terror attacks using airplanes. It had to be modified post-9-11 since its release after the terror attacks. He also predicted regime change in Iraq. This led him to be interviewed by a whole host of programs.
ReplyDeleteType in the words, "Radical Islam set" in the Christian Book Distributors box above and you will get the link to a great CD set for $3.99 featuring Joel Rosenberg, Rick Santorum, Michael Youssef and Ergun Caner. It is well worth the price! A nice balanced perspective on the threat of radical Islam and the need for vigilance and evangelism of Muslims.
