OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1Th 4:15-17 For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. This is what we normally call as Rapture. In this resurrection only those who are in Christ are taken. 1Co 15:51-57 “ Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. This is only part of the story. The next event in history is at the end of the ages when there will be visible appearance of Jesus on the earth to separate the rest of mankind into two groups. Thus we have one group separated out and totally redeemed and they are part of the Son of God himself as how the husband and wife are one. They are one body. Eph 5:31 -32 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; This is because, Rom 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. Hence we see a second resurrection into life, outside of the Church and a judgment. Mat 25:31-45 throne. "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' 155
OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' Mat 25:46 And these shall go away to punishment (ζωην zoe) age-during, (αιωνιον aionios which is translated as eternal in other translations) but the righteous to life age-during.' (YLT) “The original word translated here as “punishment” means torment, or suffering inflicted for crime. The noun is used but in one other place in the New Testament - 1Jo 4:18; “Fear hath ‘torment.’” The verb from which the noun is derived is twice used – Act 4:21; 2Pe 2:9. In all these places it denotes anguish, suffering, punishment. It does not mean simply a “state or condition,” but absolute, positive suffering” (JFB) I have hope towards God that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust. Acts 24: 15. By the second resurrection the second set of people – the righteous ones – will join the resurrected eternal life. Now the question is what waits to those who are considered not worthy to attain to that age? It is described as, Second death, or Separation. Does this end the life of those unrighteous in annihilation? Some proposes that the wicked will be annihilated. If they go into annihilation cease to exist and cease to suffer and there is no punishment here. If they continue to exist in jail there is also a chance of redemption Psalm 88:10,11 “Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise thee? Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in destruction?” The answer is NO. Thus the two age model is too simplistic, it is a.zero approximation. There are ages to come. We get eternity only when all the ages are added together - at least we get an infinte series of ages. Will the 156
