For many years, most people were only aware of Two Eternal Places, namely, Hell and Paradise;
The Revelation I have got while reading The four Gospels, is that Jesus talks about Four eternal places:
1- The ETERNAL KINGDOM of King Jesus Christ
The Lord’s Perfect WILL for us is to Enter His Kingdom
The first thing that Jesus preached after He has been in the desert tempted by Satan, is about The Kingdom of God (Matt 4V17 / Mc 1V14)…<<From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.>>
Additionally, according to The Lord teaching, in Matthew 22:11-14, We Need to have: The Spiritual Garment of Righteousness if we really want to Enter His Kingdom:(Matthew 22:11-14: <<And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and castB himB into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.>>
2- The PARADISE :
is where the wicked on the Cross with Jesus, repented and went because he had neither Works nor his Spiritual Garments of Righteousness(Luke 23:43)
<<39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.>>
Upon sacrificing Jesus Christ on The Cross, God’s Plan is to welcome us all in His Eternal Kingdom.
The first preaching of Lord Jesus in Matt 4V17B & Mk 1V14, as His children & co-heirs with Jesus, while on the earth actually we have to work very hard to live in Sanctification to get The Best Place in God’s Kingdom, as Jesus taught us in John 14V2: <<In my Father’s House, there are many mansions>>
3- The OUTER DARKNESS:
As The Lord says, it’s reserved for The IDOLATERS, The unprofitable Servants (Apo/Revel 22v15, MattB 25v30,Luc 13v28, Matt 8V11-12)
Matt 22V13 <<Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and castB himB into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.>>
4- ETERNAL HELL:
A Place for the Wicked & the unfaithful (Matt 7v23)
Matt 25V41 <<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>>
NOTE! The Purgatory is not mentioned by Jesus and anywhere in the Bible !
This is only Romans/pagans/gentiles belief !As Christians, which means followers of Christ Jesus, we have faith in the teaching of
Jesus our Savior is The Perfect Will of Father God sent to Redeem us from eternal Hell for His Eternal Kingdom if we persevere till the end in Obedience to His Word.
Our foundational belief is based on The Word of God which is the Bible.
Without wavering, Let us stand Safely and Firmly on the Word of God, our Heavenly Father in Jesus Name who loves us so much that He accepted to Sacrificed His Only Begotten Son Jesus to Redeem us eternally as His Beloved Children.
Stay Blessed in Jesus Name!
