“Yes I am coming soon”
Revelation 22:20


Many of the people around the world do not believe that there is a place called Hades (Hell) for the sinners who do not repent when Jesus himself evidently spoke of it in His first and the second coming as well. Scriptures are obvious to open the eyes of our hearts to understand the kingdom of God and know the about the perilous voyage too. This domain is being effaced in the present coevals.
“I say to you that many will come from east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11-12. A vivid verse line from the Bible tells us that Jesus here spoke about the Heaven and the Hell. An apparent description is shed light on.
"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!  If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.” Matthew 18:7-9.
In verse 8 and 9, Jesus said, subjects which are impure or unrighteous will not enter the Kingdom. Instead it will be thrown into Hell. Sin has to do with the eternal fire and sinless, the eternal life. Jesus is the One who holds the keys of Heaven and Hell as well. “I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”  Rev 1:18. Unless there is repentance, nor we accept Christ as the Son of God and believe in Him and follow Him, we cannot enter the Kingdom. Jesus often discoursed of repentance before our death and of forgiveness in every way possible, may it be through parables yet sermons.

Repent before you die!

Few of us puff up in our hearts that we’ve never sinned. Now and again swell our minds that we never had committed a murder, nor adultery, nor a sin which is enormously huge, so why should we repent, and of what? As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” Romans 3:10-12 “Even from the birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies. Their venom is like the venom of a snake.” Psalms 58:3, 4 “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way.” Isaiah 53:6. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. We are sinners since our first cry, since we set our foot on this planet. Until and unless you have Jesus, you cannot enter the Kingdom. Whoever has set this pride in their hearts that he is sinless and is in a touch-and-go misconception yet in a mordacious delusion that he is going to Heaven without Jesus is a fool. No man is sinless, except the One who came from Heaven, Christ Jesus. And no one could creep in the realm of Heaven without Him. “No one has ever gone into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven-the son of Man.” John 3:13.
Luke 3:7-9 says, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath” Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown  into the fire.” “Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place.” Rev 2:5. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.” Rev 2:7.
John 3:3 says “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” Being born again is an initial start and an essential maneuver to make a Way! Unless you repent you cannot taste this experience. But we refuse to acknowledge His voice as much as if we are profoundly deaf. When we do not lend our ears to Him but do things without His will, on the Day of Judgment, you got to answer Him. Even if you had done good things in galore with a rueful heart but disinclined to do the will of the Father, your are making a self-destructive swath!! "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21.  God is giving us time to repent of our trespasses to help you get out of the way to the Inferno. But we are unwilling to repent and be in a false trance that everyone despite of his faith is going to Heaven. “I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.” Rev 2:21. Search your thoughts and acquire denouement, without whom are you going to heaven? Without Jesus? Who will allow you to enter the kingdom of God? “Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against with them with the sword of my mouth.” Rev 2:16. The time is near. Let all the pride filled in your heart crash. We were never righteous. We never become righteous through our deeds, for it says all our good deeds are like filthy rags without Jesus. They never straighten our paths to Heaven. It is only through Jesus Christ we are worthy to walk in those Golden Streets. He came into this world not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32). This might revolt against our consciences but do not get offended by what it means, because Jesus wants us to be His children. He loves us and wants us to be with Him with the Father. “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.” Rev 3:19-21.
“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent.” Rev 3:3,
