There is a debate among many non-Christian religions whether hell is real or not. Many people believe that Heaven is real but not hell. Because of this misconception, those that do not believe in hell die and go to hell. Hell is as real as Heaven. I have seen it and been there. The world will tell you that Hell is an imaginary place, but it is not. When you die, you go either to Heaven or to Hell.

Is there a Purgatory?
Purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, purify) in accordance with Catholic teaching is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace are, not entirely free from certain sins, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgression.

The ideology of purgatory is an erroneous doctrine that is not Biblical. Many people have been told that they will go to purgatory for a certain amount of time until their sins have been ceased then they will go to heaven. Sadly, that is not the truth because the bible says, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

The tunnel

After praying one night, I laid down to sleep. A few seconds later, my Spirit left my body. I found myself going down a tunnel. While going down the tunnel, it became brighter. I had no clue where I was or going or what was going on. I saw people as far ahead as I could see, thousands upon thousands of people.

Finally, when I enter what looked like the heart of tunnel, I saw disturbing images. The thousands of people I saw were bound with chains as the lake of fire burned them. From the expression on their faces, they seem to be in agony. It was sad and disturbing to me. When I looked up, the top of the tunnel was open. Through that opening I saw a bright light shining into the tunnel. Somehow, I was elevated to the top of the tunnel to see where the light was coming from. The light was as bright as the sun. I could tell from the distance that the light was coming from a farther distance. That is when I realized that the tunnel was bright because of the light.

Suddenly, I found myself back down on the heart of the tunnel. I was surprised about what happened. How was I elevated to the top of the tunnel and brought back down? I asked myself. There was a big gap separating the bottom from the top. I saw people stepping on top of each other struggling to get to the light. Unfortunately, they could not because it was too late. It was not a beautiful picture.

The horror, agony, and suffering brought tears to my eyes. Some of those people had the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior but they refused. The sad part about it is that they could not get out of hell regardless of how hard they tried. Satan and his "boys" did not allow them.

When I turned, I saw a huge black beast in front of me. The evil creature must have been twelve to fifteen feet tall. I have never seen anyone or anything as tall and ugly like that in my life. It fit the description of the beast talked about throughout the book of Revelation. All of a sudden, I was back in my room. It happened very fast.

For hours that night, I cried to the Lord and said, "God wherever you send me to preach the Gospel, I will go. I don't want another soul to go to hell." I felt the love of our Heavenly Father even for those that rejected Him, those who were given countless opportunities to accept His free gift-salvation but they refused. Please, do not let that be you. If you feel a tug in your heart, do not fight it because this could be your last chance because and tomorrow is not promised.
