The Old Testament talks about a Divided Hell.
Half of it was Abraham’s Bosom where all The Old Testament Believers had to wait until Christ paid for their sins through The Crucifixion. It was a pleasant place and a temporary reward for believers until Christ’s Resurrection. The Bosom of Abraham was closed at The Resurrection, and all The Souls Of The Saints were Resurrected with Christ reunited with their resurrected Bodies and Ascended to Heaven and remain there today.
The wicked remain in Sheol, and their souls are in Hell awaiting Judgment which does not occur for them until The Great Judgment at The End of The Age, where they are Resurrected Judged and then sent to The Lake of Fire with Satan and The Fallen Angels, AntiChrist and The False Prophet, forever.
Forgiveness does not come from The Church. It comes from Yeshua, His payment for sin, unjust arrest & trial, abuse, crucifixion, death burial, and resurrection.
Through His death He was able to lay siege to Hell, take back The crown of Adam and The 7 sealed Title Deed to The Earth, Defeated Death and took The Keys to Hell.
That title deed to Earth, is The Scroll with 21 Judgments that Yeshua reads in The Book of Revelation as He is the only one worthy to read it. Once Jesus Breaks that first seal on it The Judgements come, and He begins The Transfer of The Title Deed to The Earth to Himself, and returns in The Second Coming when He finishes The Reading of The Scroll.
I pray that none reject The Gift
Of Christ and all avoid The Judgments to
Come from that scroll, and all seek Heaven instead of Rebellion with Hell.
