Luke 16:19-31
“There WAS A Certain
Rich Man, Who WAS Clothed IN Purple AND Fine Linen, AND Fared Sumptuously Every
Day. BUT There WAS A Certain Beggar, Named
Lazarus, Full OF Sores, Who WAS LAID AT His (The Certain Rich Man’s) Gate,
DESIRING TO BE FED, WITH The Crumbs, Which FELL FROM The Rich Man’s Table. Moreover, The Dogs CAME AND LICKED His (Lazarus’)
Sores.
SO IT WAS, That The Beggar
(Lazarus) DIED, AND WAS CARRIED BY The Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels) TO
Abraham’s Bosom (Heaven). The Rich Man ALSO
DIED AND WAS BURIED. AND BEING IN TORMENTS,
IN Hades (Hell), He (The Rich Man) LIFTED UP His Eyes AND SAW Abraham AFAR OFF,
AND Lazarus IN His (Abraham’s) Bosom (Heaven).”
“THEN, He (The Rich Man)
CRIED AND Said, ‘Father Abraham, Have Mercy ON Me, AND SEND Lazarus, That He
(Lazarus) May Dip The Tip of His (Lazarus’) Finger IN Water AND Cool My (The
Rich Man’s) Tongue; For I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME (IN Hell).’ BUT Abraham SAID, ‘Son, REMEMBER, That IN Your
Lifetime, YOU (The Rich Man) Received Your Good Things, AND LIKEWISE Lazarus
Evil Things; BUT NOW, He (Lazarus) IS COMFORTED (IN Heaven) AND YOU (The Rich
Man) ARE TORMENTED (IN Hell).
AND BESIDES ALL THIS, BETWEEN
Us (Abraham and Lazarus) AND YOU (The Rich Man), THERE IS A GREAT GULF, FIXED, SO
THAT THOSE (Believers) WHO WANT TO PASS FROM HERE (Heaven), TO YOU (IN Hell) Can
NOT, NOR CAN Those (Unbelievers) FROM THERE (Hell), PASS TO Us (IN Heaven).’
“THEN, He (The Rich Man)
Said, ‘I Beg YOU (Abraham) Therefore, Father, That YOU (Abraham) WOULD SEND
Him (Lazarus) TO My Father’s House, For I (The Rich Man) Have Five (5) Brothers,
That He (Lazarus) May TESTIFY TO Them (The Rich Man’s Brothers), LEST They ALSO
COME TO THIS PLACE OF TORMENT (Hell).’
Abraham SAID TO Him (The
Rich Man), ‘They (The Rich Man’s Brothers) HAVE Moses AND The Prophets; LET Them
(The Rich Man’s Brothers) HEAR Them (Moses AND The Prophets).’ AND He (The Rich Man) Said, ‘NO, Father
Abraham; BUT IF ONE (Lazarus) GOES TO Them (The Rich Man’s Brothers), FROM The
Dead, They WILL REPENT.’ BUT He (Abraham)
SAID TO Him (The Rich Man), ‘IF They (The Rich Man’s Brothers) DO NOT HEAR
Moses AND The Prophets, NEITHER WILL They (The Rich Man’s Brothers) BE PERSUADED,
THOUGH ONE (Lazarus) RISE, FROM The Dead.’”
Fellow Believers, This
Parable IS A STERN REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS, FOR EACH OF Us, TO Share
The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, WITH Our Spouses, Our Children, Our Family, Our
Friends, Our Church Family, Our Co-Workers, Our Neighbors, Our Cyber World
Friends, AND Even The Strangers We Encounter in Our Daily Lives!
Imagine, IF YOU
(Believers) WILL, BEING IN Heaven AND Being Able TO Look Across The Great FIXED
Gulf, INTO Hell, AND SEEING All The People (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers), YOU
ENCOUNTERED, During Your Lifetime, That YOU Did NOT Share The Gospel OF Jesus
Christ WITH, AND Them (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) Being Able TO See YOU,
AND Them (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) Asking YOU, WHY DID YOU (Believers)
NOT TELL Me ABOUT Jesus Christ?
WHY DID YOU (Believers)
NOT TELL Me (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers), That I MUST Acknowledge GOD
Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE AND I MUST Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF
Salvation, That I MUST Ask Jesus Christ TO COME INTO My Heart, THROUGH The Holy
Spirit, AND TAKE CONTROL OF My Life, That I May Worship GOD Almighty, THE ONE
AND ONLY GOD, THERE IS OR EVER HAS BEEN, AND That BY DOING SO, I BECOME A
Fellow Child OF GOD Almighty; AND CO-HEIR, WITH Jesus Christ, OF THE KINGDOM OF
GOD Almighty?
IF YOU (Believers) Had
Told Me, THESE THINGS, Perhaps, I (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) WOULD BE IN
Heaven, INSTEAD OF THE LAKE OF FIRE (The Second Death)!
Fellow Believers, LET’s LOOK
AT A Worst Case Scenario:
The Being Caught Up
Together OCCURS, Dead Believers AND Living Believers ARE SNATCHED AWAY, BY
Jesus Christ, FROM This World (Satan’s World) INTO Heaven, While The REST OF
Mankind (Yet-To-Be-Believers, FALSE Prophets, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND
Unbelievers) REMAINS, HERE, IN This World (Satan’s World), AND They MUST
Experience The Great Tribulation!
Now, AMONG THESE People (Yet-To-Be-Believers,
FALSE Prophets, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) ARE Your
Spouses, Your Children, Your Family, Your Friends, Your Church Family, Your
Co-Workers, Your Neighbors, Your Cyber World Friends, AND Even The Strangers
YOU Encountered IN Your Lifetime.
NOW, DO YOU GET THE POINT
OF The Great FIXED Gulf Parable?
For Myself, THIS IS Why
I Have Chosen TO CREATE AND Leave Behind An “AFTER The Being Caught Up Together
SURVIVAL GUIDE” (Along WITH A COPY OF The Holy Bible), Which Basically STRESSES
The Importance OF Acknowledging GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE AND
Accepting GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF Salvation, IMMEDIATELY!
My Prayer, FOR The Reader
(OF The Survival Guide) IS, THAT He OR She ACCEPTS Jesus Christ, AS His OR Her
Personal LORD AND Savior, Thereby RECEIVING Salvation, BECOMING Fellow
Believers, AND Fellow Children OF GOD Almighty.
So That They (Believers), ALSO, WILL BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate
Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND
All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!
Revelation
3:10
Because YOU (Believers) Have KEPT My (Jesus
Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers)
FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL (The Great Tribulation), Which Shall COME UPON The Whole
World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Earth.
1
Thessalonians 4:16-17
For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, WILL
DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The VOICE of an Archangel, AND WITH The
TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And The
Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) WILL RISE First. THEN We (Living Believers) WHO ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN
Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR. And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH
The LORD (Jesus Christ).
