WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE GO TO HEAVEN?   Lk. 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. The only ones who God will let into heaven will be those who let God reign in their hearts here on earth!   Matt.  13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear..... 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

II Cor. 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

 

I Cor. 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

15:51  Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,    

15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.                                                                                                           

15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  ( I Cor. 15:35-58 )

 

I Th. 4:13  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.                                       

4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

 

 

Isa 25:8  He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

 

Isa 26:19  Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

26:21  For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

 

John 5:21  For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.                                                                        

5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

5:23  That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.                                                                                                    

5:25  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

5:26  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;                       

5:27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.                         

5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

 

John 8:51  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Matthew CHAPTER 25

25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,

which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom

cometh; go ye out to meet him.

25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our

lamps are gone out.

 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for

us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for

yourselves.

25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that

were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was

shut.

25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to

us.

25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein

the Son of man cometh.

25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,

who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another

one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway

took his journey.

25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the

same, and made them other five talents.

25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid

his lord’s money.

25:19 After a long time the Lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth

with them.

25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other

five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:

behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

25:21 His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant:

thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over

many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou

deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other

talents beside them.

25:23 His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou

hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over

many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I

knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not

sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there

thou hast that is thine.

25:26 His Lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful

servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather

where I have not strawed:

25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,

and then at my coming I should have received mine own with

usury.

25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath

ten talents.

25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have

abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even

that which he hath.

25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall

be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy

angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate

them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the

goats:

25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the

left.

25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye

blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from

the foundation of the world:

25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye

gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in

prison, and ye came unto me.

25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we

thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and

clothed thee?

25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto

you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my

brethren, ye have done it unto me.

25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,

ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his

angels:

25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and

ye gave me no drink:

25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me

not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee

an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,

and did not minister unto thee?

25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch

as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the

righteous into life eternal.

 

Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in

me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,

and he were cast into the sea.

9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter

into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire

that never shall be quenched:

9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter

halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire

that never shall be quenched:

9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to

enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes

to be cast into hell fire:

9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

 

 

II Pet. 2:1-17  talking about false prophets in the church:

17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a

tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

 

JUDE  1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that

are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and

called:

1:2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the

common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and

exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was

once delivered unto the saints.

1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of

old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace

of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and

our Lord Jesus Christ.

1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,

how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of

Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own

habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness

unto the judgment of the great day.

1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like

manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after

strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance

of eternal fire.

1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise

dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he

disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a

railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what

they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt

themselves.

1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran

greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the

gainsaying of Core.

1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,

feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water,

carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit,

twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering

stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,

saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly

among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly

committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners

have spoken against him.

1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;

and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s

persons in admiration because of advantage.

1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of

the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time,

who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the

Spirit.

1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,

praying in the Holy Ghost,

1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our

Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even

the garment spotted by the flesh.

1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present

you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

1:25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion

and power, both now and ever. Amen.

 

I Cor. 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of

God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor

adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor

extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Rev. 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the

Lamb are the temple of it.

21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine

in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light

thereof.

21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of

it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.

21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be

no night there.

21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

 

Isa 65

65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that

sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that

was not called by my name.

65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people,

which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own

thoughts;

65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that

sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,

which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their

vessels;

65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier

than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the

day.

65:6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will

recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the

LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and

blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their

former work into their bosom.

65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and

one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my

servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an

inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my

servants shall dwell there.

65:10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a

place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought

me.

65:11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy

mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the

drink offering unto that number.

65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow

down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer;

when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and

did choose that wherein I delighted not.

65:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat,

but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall

be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be

ashamed:

65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for

sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the

Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the

God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the

God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and

because they are hid from mine eyes.

65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former

shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for,

behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the

voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of

crying.

65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man

that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years

old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant

vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and

another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and

mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

65:23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are

the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and

while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat

straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They

shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

 

Pr. 27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

 

Isa.5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

 

 II Tim. 4

4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who

shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his

kingdom;

4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,

rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;

4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be

turned unto fables.

4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an

evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is

at hand.

4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept

the faith:

4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which

the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to

me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
