Chapter 22

My spirit rose out of my body, I expected to travel upwards sky but instead, I found myself in a downwards direction causing me to scream as I realized where I was headed.

Down and down I went passing through the many layers of the earth`s surface. It was then as I reached the earth`s core, that I found myself in a place that looked like hell. There was fiery burning fire everywhere and there were so many people all suffering from being burned by the fire in this huge lake of fire. Luckily for me, I was standing on the ground still I felt fear as I knew I was soon getting the same fate.

The place was scary and horrifying with pained screams and gnashing of teeth sounds everywhere and it reeked of only death, pain, despair, and sorrow. Each face I looked at had an expression of immense agony and regret and I even recognized some faces which I never thought I would find here. Like this famous preacher who always appeared on TV and had million church members in his church.

He was bound in this scorching hot chain, which melted through his hands, his tongue looked burning red being burned with scorching red flames and his whole half body was halfway in the lake of burning fire. He looked to still be alive as it seemed that no one could die here and was screaming from never-ending pain. I looked at him wondering what he had done to end up being here as he had always appeared to be so holy on TV, preaching with passion.

It was then I saw writing appearing on his forehead as if someone was using a nail to write on his skin.

False prophet, misleading teachings, Greedy, squandered church money, Cheater, Adulterous and the list continued on and on.

I looked at him in shock.

I continued walking and also saw many celebrities who once were revered and worshipped by the world as icons. But now here they were, bound to be screaming out their lungs in fiery burning fire forever. And it seemed almost all of them were being punished for being part of the occults, doing and sponsoring sin, using dark magic, murder, offering blood sacrifices of children or their relatives, and worshipping the devil.

Most of their once flawless faces now appeared disfigured showing their true colors. And all the people there were wearing filthy clothes which represented their sins and uncleanness.

There were also these scary-looking beasts walking around whipping around people and laughing at the pained sounds. They looked horrible, with shadowy black bodies which radiated evilness and had malicious smirks on their creature like faces.

One of the creature demons came to me and started pushing and leading somewhere. I remained silent and let it lead me not wanting to rile up the creature as it held this burning whip in its hand. And I knew it would not hesitate to use that on me.

It was then we arrived in front of this figure which sat on a black throne. He appeared beautiful unlike his demons and looked like an angel of light but with black charcoal wings.

“Bow to master.’’ The demon creature then said pushing me roughly to the ground.

It was then I realized that the figure sitting on the black throne was the Devil!

But how the hell could he appear so beautiful as I had expected him to look ugly on the outside just like he was on the inside?

“It's because I was created by God and was once one of his so-called beloved angels of light.’’ The devil then said standing up.

I looked at him in shock wondering how he had read my mind.

“Oh please, don’t tell me you have forgotten me already. I have always been in your head Nathan, whispering to you, persuading you to do my bidding.’’ The devil then continued while I looked at him in shock.

“And you were one of my favorite humans, always listening to me and letting me manipulate you through my demons. From greed, revenge, hatred to lust. You rich people are just too easy for Me.’’ he said now walking to me.

“You almost made me laugh as you were dying, thinking that just like all the other human buffoons that you could easily escape hell by finally acknowledging God in your last minutes. Well, that is just too late because what were you doing all this time?’’

“Just like all these foolish humans, you chose me to be your god.’’

“But I never made you my god, I worshipped no one.’’ I said to him in answer as even if I never believed in God, I also never believed in the devil.

“You did make me your god. Because in life it's either you choose God and become a believer or you choose me, those are the only options. And choose me you did, always listening to my voice.’’ The devil answered looking pleased.

“So, Nathan, welcome to my Kingdom which you filthy humans call hell. This is your worst nightmare and I shall very much enjoy having you here with me forever. Because if I’m destined to burn in this place forever, I am so not going down alone and will be taking some filthy humans along with me.’’ He then continued and I could see his burning hatred for me in those bottomless black eyes.

Oh crap, I could not believe I was now in hell and going to stay in a place like this forever with the evil devil. And here I wasted my life not believing in God thinking I was clever.

I just stood there speechless as I awaited my horrifying fate, to stay in this place forever in torment and agony. It would have been better to suffer on earth for a short time and gone to heaven paradise for eternity.

Instead, I had gained the whole world, the money, and the power on earth useless things, which could not help me here but lost my soul destined to burn for eternity.

One of the evil beasts came and showed me all the evil things I had done. And started pushing me roughly to the burning fiery lake of fire where I was to face my punishment.

But just as I was about to get ready to experience immense pain and touch the fire, a great illuminating light flashed in hell, and in came a powerful being holding the keys of both hades and hell.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire, and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

His great light blinded the beasts which I now learned to be demons. And the devil.

“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

To my great surprise as soon as I whispered the name Jesus after realizing who the great power was. Everyone including the devil was forced to bow including me.

He then looked at the devil while floating in the air and standing with authority.

"Satan, I believe you have rushed in taking something that does not belong to you,” Jesus said sternly to the devil.

"I have taken nothing from you!" the devil rudely replied lying and I could also see he was struggling in trying to stand up and stop bowing.

"Yes, you have, and I have come to take one of my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

"I still don't know what you are talking about!" the devil continued speaking lies, his natural language.

There he transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

“Aaaah fine, I stole him. But he is a sinner and has lived his whole life doing my bidding from mistreating that disgusting orphan to selfishly spending money in greediness. Therefore, he is mine to do as I want with. "The devil said finally said causing me to realize that Jesus was here for me.

"He has asked for forgiveness during his time on earth and I have therefore forgiven him. You should not have even rushed to take his soul! As he should be back in his body sleeping right now just like all his particular generation are doing, waiting for my second coming." Jesus sternly said to the devil and then looked at me.

“Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” (Mathew 9:2)

As soon as he said those words to me, I felt my body glowing in the light, clean, and the next thing I knew I was standing next to Jesus.

"Devil remember this, My Father, who has given these sheep to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand."(John 10:29)

With those last words, I found myself in this beautiful heavenly place with Jesus sitting on the right-side throne.

"Oh Lord, oh Lord thank you for saving me from the clutches of hell. Thank you for being gracious to forgive me and for all you have done for me." I said going to him and kneeling kissing his feet in gratitude.

He gently pulled me being the humble King he is.

"Nathan, God is faithful and fair. If you admit that you have sinned, he will forgive you your sins. He will forgive every wrong thing you have done and make you pure.” (John 1:9).

After that, he offered me a sit by his side.

“I feel so loved, at peace, complete and happy here with you my Lord. I don't want to leave these feelings and go back to earth where I will feel empty again.’’ I then said to him as he told me that I was going back.

“Nathan it is possible to also feel those feeling again on earth. You don't need to look for those feelings in money, people, ambition, or the world. All you needed Nathan was to hear my voice, to fill that big void in your life.’’

"How do I hear your voice, my Lord, on earth," I asked him.

"Read the bible which is filled with my words and whenever you have a problem in your life, just look in my words and you will find the solution to any problem. If you feel lonely my words will tell you that I’m always with you till the very end of age. If you feel unloved my words will tell you how loved you are by me and how nothing could ever separate you from my love for you.

Just like your situation Nathan, if you lose a loved one my words will provide comfort by telling you of the resurrection of all the dead to come after I defeat death, where you will see your loved ones again. How they are just sleeping for now and not gone for good.’’ As he said that to me, tears of joy and hope fell from my eyes.

“For everything that was written in the bible from the past was written to teach you, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide you might have hope. And my word endures forever.’’ As he taught me that, my mind caught on to each word as this was true wisdom.

‘My heart is grieved as I see all those lost souls being deceived by the devil and ending up in hell. And it's getting worse and worse with the numbers increasing each year as the world becomes more ungodly. That is why I am sending you back to be a testimony and a light in a dark lost world as I want to save as many as I can. I did not suffer on that cross for nothing, and people need to be exposed to the truth.’’

“The truth is that I, God am not dead but very much alive and still very much calling each and every person to come to me. I am a merciful, loving, and caring father who wants to take care of his children, strengthen them in their trials, and help them to live their lives to the fullest. Unlike the devil, I wish them good not evil,’’ My Lord then said to me in a gentle loving voice.

“Then I will gladly go back there,’’ I said in reply while remembering the people in hell, if it was possible to help prevent as many as I could from going there, then so be it. And I did not want anyone missing out on being loved by this wonderful God.

“But as an obedient child, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as I who called you am holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”’’ He said to me and I nodded my head in agreement.

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;" My messiah said to me.

"Therefore, my father is granting you your miracle as whatever is asked in my name to my father he grants. So, I hope you are ready to go back to earth but this time as Nathan Curtis Silverman, my Billionaire." Jesus said to me, to my delight but then again, I was going to miss this place and him.

"Yes, my Lord, I am your servant am ready to go change lives, save souls in your name, and love others," I said to him, now kneeling in front of him to show respect. He was my Lord too after all.

Jesus then placed his finger on my head and my soul started falling down the sky to the ground and I blacked out.
