For some time now I have been considering editing or at lest adding to my article on ‘Hades is not Hell’. Apart from pointing out that Hell and Hades are different places I also build an argument that basically says, “nobody will be thrown into Hell until they have first been judged”. A judgement that occurs just before eternity begins.

I still hold to the above however, although they have already been judged there appears to be a group of people who ‘may’ not have to wait in Hades with the rest until the great judgement, these having already been judged because of a decision they had previously made. I'm not ‘cut n dry’ on one thus my reluctance in editing my article, however, I thought I'd share my thoughts in the hope that others may shed some light on the subject.

We know that everyone who rejects the gift of God in this age of grace will have to stand at the ‘Great White Throne Judgement’. There their deeds will be examined and then those found wanting will be sentenced to their eternal flavour of eternity in ‘The Lake of Fire’ (Hell). Scripture clearly speaks of a coming Millennium Kingdom (Thousand year Kingdom) on Earth, Where some surviving the Second Coming of Christ repopulate the Earth during this period. The ‘Great White Throne Judgement’ takes place after this soon to arrive ‘Millennium Kingdom’ and just before the New Heavens and New Earth are created (Eternity). So we have...

• Six thousand Years of Man’s rule in Satan’s Kingdom on Earth
• The Second Coming of Christ Jesus  
• The one thousand year Millennium Kingdom
• The Great White Throne Judgement
• A New Heaven and a New Earth and Eternity Begins with...
• One group in the New Heaven and New Earth
• The other in The Lake of Fire (Hell)

Knowing that our six thousand years is just about up, we know that a massive event is about to take place (The Second Coming of Christ) which will make way for the Millennium, after which follows the judgement, sentencing and eternity. All who ever walked in this Fallen Flesh, either in the six thousand years of Man’s rule on Earth or the one thousand years of Christ’s in the Millennium but who rejected the truth will be judged.

For those of us who take the Scriptures literally and read the bulk of the Book of Revelation as a chronological account of the winding-up of this age and the beginning of the new, the above will sound familiar. If it is correct, those who reject the truth through both the six thousand years and the Millennium period will be judged at the very end of the combined seven thousand years, just before eternity begins. So if I have it all so wrapped-up, what am I fretting about?

Well.... 
Lets look at two men who are thrown directly into Hell at the end of this age, who do not wait in Hades with the rest through-out the Millennium and are not resurrected to stand at the ‘Great White Throne Judgment’ just before eternity begins. For various reasons, although these two can be separated from the rest of Mankind who reject the Gospel during Man’s reign... it is clear that they do not wait in Hades to stand at the Judgement as do the rest but are thrown directly into Hell [The Lake of Fire]...thus my article isn't strictly correct.

But hold on, there's more  

And this is what has been troubling me. I shall now quote a few Scriptures that appear to suggest that yet another group of people will be cast straight into Hell at the end of this age, around the time of the Beast and the False Prophet and not at the end of the Millennium. For some reason they too do not need to stand at the ‘Great White Throne Judgment’ their actions having already condemned them. The above scriptures are a record of what will take place soon after the Second Coming of Christ, this is not the ‘Great White Throne Judgement’ that takes place after the Millennium but one often referred to as ‘The Judgement of the Sheep and the Goats’.

The devastation's of the Second Coming having just occurred, Christ is seen here winding-up the affairs of this age before setting-up His Millennium Kingdom. The First resurrection of the Righteous has recently taken place [Those who had died trusting in Jesus] and God is judging all flesh that has survived His Second Coming.

Survivors are judged based on how they treated God’s people during the persecutions of Anti-Christ’s system. God’s people who had heeded His warning not to align themselves with Anti-Christ had suffered terribly.
We are seeing here, all those who survived the Second Coming being judged on these two basic points...

1. If they took the Mark of Anti-Christ and worshipped his image.
2. How they treated God’s persecuted people during that terrible period.

Previously a proclamation had been announced regarding those who take the Mark of the Beast [Anti-Christ] and worship his image. This proclamation appears to take away any necessity for those who do so to stand at ‘The White Throne Judgement’. The thing is that during the terrors of the ‘Tribulation’ and the ‘Second Coming’, many of those who took the ‘Mark of the Beast’ would have died...The question is, are they to be judged with their fellows who also took the ‘Mark’ but survived? If so, they would need to be resurrected before the ‘Sheep and Goats Judgement’ to take part in it.

• The First Resurrection is clearly a resurrection of the ‘righteous’ and takes place after the Second Coming but before the Millennium begins. This is the same time period that the ‘Sheep and Goats Judgment’ takes place.


• The Second Resurrection takes place after the Millennium but before eternity begins and consists of the wicked, these will stand before God at ‘The Great White Throne Judgement’.

But are some of the wicked raised before the Millennium begins to stand at the ‘Sheep and the Goats Judgment?’... that those who took the ‘Mark of the Beast’ but died during either the tribulation period or at Christ’s Second Coming maybe judged with their fellows who had also taken Anti-Christ’s ‘Mark’ but survived?
If so they would need to be resurrected to stand before Christ in that Judgment. All those found wanting in this judgment would be cast straight into Hell during the same time period as the Beast and the False Prophet are cast in. Therefore none of these would wait in Hades through the Millennium period to be resurrected and judged at the ‘Great White Throne Judgment’.

Speaking of the horrors of the Tribulation period and the coming of Christ we read...   Again, who are these that ‘appear’ to be raised at the same time as the righteous (before the Millennium) yet cast straight into Hell?

Next we read of Christ’s Second Coming, this text seems to suggest that there are yet others raised at this time, are these raised also that they may appear at ‘ The Sheep and the Goats Judgment’?. By the time of the Second Coming of Christ, those who nailed Jesus to the Cross have been dead for roughly two thousand years! For we know that those responsible for rejecting the Messiah the first time lived in the days when Rome occupied Israel...will these too stand at ‘The Judgement of the Sheep and the Goats’.

So now I forward a possibility that I have being considering for sometime, that there is a resurrection of...

• Those responsible or who took part in the rejection of the Messiah at His first Coming, who had died roughly two thousand years ago and wait in Hades.


• Those who, despising Christ’s Second Coming, rejected God’s warning and took the Mark of the Beast yet died during either the Tribulation period or the calamities of Christ’s Second Coming’.

And that these two groups stand together with those who took the ’Mark of the Beast’ yet survived the tribulation and Second Coming of Christ. These three groups standing as one at ‘The Sheep and that Goats’ Judgement.

• Those responsible for the rejection of the Messiah at His first Coming.
• Those who took the Mark of the Beast but had died.
• Those who took the Mark of the Beast but had survived.

So let me forward a possible time-line, based on my thoughts...

1. Six thousand Years of Man’s rule.
2. The Second Coming of Christ Jesus.
3. Satan bound in the Abyss for one thousand years.
4. The resurrection of the Just who after reigning with Christ for one thousand years, will enter eternity.
5. The Sheep and the Goats Judgment consisting of...
• Those responsible for rejection Christ the Messiah the first time.
• Those who took the Mark of the Beast and had aligned themselves with anti-Christ but had died.
• Those who took the Mark of the Beast and had aligned themselves with anti-Christ and had survived.
• Those found wanting thrown directly into Hell


6. Anti-Christ (The Beast) and the False Prophet thrown directly into Hell.
7. One Thousand Years of God’s reign on Earth (The Millennium)
8. Satan released from the Abyss
9. A short rebellion squashed (revealing those that hated Christ’s righteous rule).
10. Satan thrown into Hell
11. The Second Resurrection (Resurrection from Hades of the wicked).
12. The Great White Throne Judgement
13. Everything that offends thrown into Hell
14. A new Heaven and a new Earth created
15. Eternity Begins with...
• One group in the New Heavens and New Earth
• The other group in The Lake of Fire (Hell)

Let us remember, as the Beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into Hell with their bodies so too will the wicked. It is noteworthy to recall that after the one thousand years of the Millennium that Beast and the False Prophet are still alive in the Hell having been thrown in there at the end of this age, a thousand years earlier... For those of us who trust in Christ’s we know that the price for our sins has been paid, this through the death of Christ on the Cross, and He being seated right now at the right hand of Him who all need to give an account, justifies us through His life, ever interceding for us. It is a witness to God that He is righteous as He lives having entering into such a fallen World yet committed no sin.
And even-though we as Christians may suffer in this life, we know that we have a great, sure and glorious eternity ahead of us, and while we live in this flesh, peace even in tribulation, for we have dwelling within us, God The Holy Spirit.
And of the horrifying soon to come tribulation period. Well, we can even escape that... Sorry for only quoting from only the olde ‘King James Version’ but my Bible program (MacSword) is playing-up, I need to give it a bit of attention.  

For a so called ‘enlightened Secular Society’ that has rejected the God of the Bible, it is amazing just how many people believe in Angels today. From Hollywood to the tattoo on the hardened Biker, Angels are seen throughout all of society. If confessed or not many believe that a guardian Angel either overlooks their family or has intervened in their own lives in some way. Yet ask if they believe in the existence of demons, and most will laugh you to scorn!

However, the very same Scriptures that informed us of the existence of Angels has also informed us that one third of these celestial beings are totally depraved!  For it is within the pages of both the Old and New Testaments (The Bible) that we have gained most, if not all of the ‘factual’ information regarding this Heavenly Host. Although Angels are mentioned in the Koran, which came into being nearly six hundred years after the New Testament was finished, the Bible spoke of them thousands of years earlier. In fact, it is from the pages of the Old and New Testaments that Mohammed would have first learned of existence of Angels.

By rejecting the authority of the very same Scriptures that have informed us of the existence of Angels, society has opened itself up to great deception. For these very same Scriptures warn us that many of these Angels are in fact malignant entities, or for a better term ‘Fallen Angels’. The sheer depth of their depravity and hatred towards mankind is impossible to explain as nothing I could tell you can express the horror these beings wish upon us. Powerful, devious and highly intelligent, no mere mortal can escape their lies nor resist their temptations without first being hid in Christ. They have at their disposal every type of evil spirit imaginable.

Satan their King is an Angel of the highest order, being of the order of the Cherubim. Forget about those foolish images we've all seen of sweet winged little children holding small bows with which they fire their beautiful darts into the heart's of young lovers. This being is awesome and cruel, firing only vile suggestive darts into the minds of men. Even the mighty Archangel Michael dare not bring an accusing accusation against him but said “The Lord rebuke you”. And of the Cherubs, Lucifer alone had attained the full measure of wisdom and beauty credited to any created being. However God had also given him ‘free will’, thus forgetting his place and holding his high position in contempt he sought to be like God. And in doing so only succeeded in debasing, not only himself, but one third of all the Heavenly Host, who were carried away in his folly.

There are multiple stages to the eventual and complete fall of Satan and his Angels, and this I hope to cover one day but it is enough to say that right now he and his angels are currently confined to our atmosphere (Ephesians 2:2). Although not in our physical dimension but being located in at least one higher, they have great advantage over mankind. The only people who can enter into battle within their domain are those who know the authority of Scripture and are hid in Him alone who defeated Satan at the Cross, Christ Jesus. Unseen they rule fallen men and are their temporal masters. We only have to look at the news daily to see what men do under the influence of these ‘fallen ones’. Firing their fiery darts into the minds of men has caused fallen humanity to commit unspeakable crimes. (2 Cor 10:5)

With the knowledge of Scripture cast to the ground nobody considers it strange nor odd that today's so called ‘Mystics’ be they Channellers, Mediums or Shamans have invisible guides assisting them. It matters not to these mystics who these ‘Spiritual Guides’ really are but only that by them these deceived people have been exalted to some kind of stardom, whose only suggestion is that their helpful guides are dead relatives or loving celestial spirits. Fully persuaded, casting all doubts aside and hearing only that which they wish, they do the work, and weave the deceptions of the evil one.

Yet unknown to most approaches a deception that will surpass all before as these beings who were blessed with such glory, walked in Heavenly places and wielded unimaginable power, will soon be debased yet further. For Scripture tells us that all of them will soon be cast out of the heavens and thrown on to the Earth itself amongst the people. There could be a valid argument that they may remain in a separate dimension than ours but I think not when you consider the following.

Based on the fully accepted lie that God is not the Creator but Creation itself (evolution), mankind’s understanding has been darkened. For by the complete acceptance of the ‘theory’ of evolution many have come to the only conclusion that this ‘theory’ dictates. They conclude that over the apparent billions of years the Universe has been in existence and the sheer number of planets out there, that life must have not only evolved elsewhere but surely have far surpassed our technical achievements. Especially when you consider our recent technical advancements over the past few hundred years, how much more then, could they have advanced beyond our puny capabilities had they reached our current level of evolution and technological abilities say, a few hundred thousand years ago?

To put it in perspective, if Man was allowed to continue for just another two hundred years, I think we could agree that it would be mind boggling to consider just how much we would advanced in such a short time, especially for those of us who can still recall the simple technologies of the 1960's, a mere fifty years ago! Then under the lie of evolution, if an alien Race had surpassed our current level of technical achievements say two hundred thousand years ago or even a thousand years ago, (expected under the rules of evolution) then how much more would they have surpassed our current technical abilities today?

Following this train of thought to it’s deceptive conclusion, we would expect that we have, are, or shall be visited by these highly evolved beings in the near future. And to substantiate this expectation, if any should embark on a calm and serious investigation into the subject, whilst sifting through the mass of misinformation, hoaxes and stupidity out there, they would discover that people have and are witnessing what would appear to be the fulfilment of such an expectation, an expectation fully supported by this ‘Theory of Evolution’. Yet no one asks why these supposedly highly evolved beings, who seemingly refuse to make contact yet making every effort to be seen, do no more than scare a few people and steal the odd cow.

However, if we then take into account that Scripture informs us that there is an event, shortly to take place when the ‘Fallen Angels’ will be cast onto the Earth, then the whole phenomenon may be viewed in a different light. For the Holy text reveals a still future ‘singular lie’ (2 Thess 2:11) that God will give men over to, because they refused to except the truth. This lie they will not be able to escape because the have accepted the lie of Evolution. Other examples exist in Scripture where people esteeming the Creation rather than the Creator are given over to vile affections which they are unable to escape. (Romans 1:24-25)

Presently I have come to the conclusion that when those who are given over to the lie of ‘Evolution’ witness the fall of Satan, his Angels and the Nephilim to the Earth (I shall speak of the Nephilim later), under a cloak of Evolution they will conclude that at last contact has been made with a highly evolved species. For if you should now glance out of your window, seeing a soundless craft hovering over some nearby trees, if your whole existence is based on nothing more than... that you are an evolved species, what else could you conclude? Satan not knowing the moment God will cast him down drip feeds us this lie of evolution shoring it up with regular sightings of the anticipated UFO Phenomenon, which in itself is supported by the creation of multiple movies, games and media. Never did such a phenomenon exists until the ‘Theory’ of evolution came in to being. This UFO phenomenon reinforces an erroneous belief system and prepares a godless World for a Godly empowered deception.

You may mock that I have mentioned such a phenomenon, but all evolutionists aught to first consider; you are mocking a fundamental basis of ‘The Theory of Evolution’. For if evolution were to be correct then such a phenomenon is to be fully expected. Who teaching the theory of aerodynamics would mock another for saying “he saw a glider flying yesterday?” Cease from your double mindedness, if you are an evolutionist it is not the notion of UFOs that has bothered you but being associated with some of the ‘silly and excitable people’ surrounding this phenomenon. Yet the fact still remains, that if the theory of Evolution were to be correct the UFO phenomenon would be fully expected! To press this point home, even NASA at huge cost has sent out probes into deep space broadcasting our whereabouts, to whom then is NASA attempting to contact if not other evolved life?

Prophecy informs us that once Satan and his angels have been cast down to the Earth their time is very short indeed (three and a half years) and so begins the most horrifying period Earth has ever experienced. When we consider all of the terrifying events that have occurred on Earth from the Black Death to the Holocaust we can only be shaken to the core to read that this coming period will far exceed all previous events in horror and that none shall ever surpass it. In fact, we are informed that if God doesn't act during this period all flesh shall cease!

I have until now only hinted at Satan’s fall coinciding with the disclosure of a ‘flesh and blood’ hybrid race first mentioned in Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch amongst others. If Satan and his Angels possess this race or are separate in some way I do not yet know, but in my opinion the two are explicitly linked. If you have studied the subject (and many have) you’ll understand just where I am coming from. Just to make myself totally clear, I do not believe that we have, are or ever will be visited by beings that have evolved over billions of years on other planets, that is the concluding lie of evolution.

If you too wish to study this subject, unless you have a solid grasp of the Scriptures and are not given over to an excitable temperament you will certainly be deceived. The amount of stupidity surrounding the subject within and without the Church is quite shocking. I am not above making mistakes myself and so have resisted commenting on this subject lest I join in with the foolishness surrounding it. After studying it for many years in silence I now believe I have enough to forward a reasonable and plausible account based on Scripture, this I am presently working on and will publish it as an article on this site. I had to decide if I take Revelation 12:12 as a literal End-time event or as so many do, either place it in the past or simply spiritualize it away. If I had done either I should have “NO” Biblical basis for asserting that many other Scriptures are literal future events. Scriptures that clearly inform us of real and literal End-time events.

When I have published my article on this site I shall announce it on my latest blog, I'd like to say it will be up in August but as I have to go away for about a week and then recover from some treatment I need to undergo, I can not say for sure that it will be uploaded in August, however I may surprise you...and myself.

Solomon informs us that there is success in many counsellors (Proverbs 15:22) and of the Bereans of Acts 17:11 He called ‘Nobel’. Because they first openly listened to other’s views before testing them against Scripture. It is for these very reasons that I greatly desire contact with any who may have insight into this subject. Be that because you have your own theory, experience or other Biblically based views. I would encourage you to contact me at: karl@esculent.co.uk and look forward to hearing from you. Your views will be kept confidential, of that you can be assured.

There undoubtedly will be Christians reading who instantly discount what I have suggested here as pure folly, if you hold to God's Word I would humbly asked you to refrain from judgement until you have read my coming article, this request based on Proverbs 18:13. After which I would, in all honesty be very interested in hearing your Biblical correction.
