A tour guide to Heaven and Hell

[*Light*]

Dear Beloved,

There seems to be a surge of men and women who have testimonies regarding their visits to Heaven and Hell. I would like to begin by saying that I have carefully examined MANY of their testimonies using the Infallible Word of God; and I have discovered that there were so many inconsistencies between each supposed visits to Heaven and Hell among each men and women. Some of them were NDE's (Near Death Experiences); and some weren't. You can watch the video yourself and see just how ridiculous her testimony is. Truth mingled with lies = DECEPTION. If I were to lay out every contradiction in the video, it would take about 50 pages -- and I simply do NOT have the time to do so. This should be sufficient to anyone who possesses a basic understanding of scripture and a little discernment. By the way . . . she has 5 books that she's selling; so it seems as if Jesus told her to write 5 books about what the Bible ALREADY reveals regarding Heaven and Hell, and then charge money for these books. Jesus also told her to make several translations of those books to sell them to those in different countries so they can be warned about the dangers of Hell, and the Beauty of Heaven. I think it would be easier to have an E-Book online about her testimonies rather than selling them through books. Take away the background music and her testimony would be even more absurd. Such music is designed to mislead many through emotional experience, and NOT with the Truth. She said that she compares her journey to that of the book of Revelations (plural).

Mary K. Baxter's tour of Heaven and Hell.

Mary K. Baxter supposedly had a "tour" of Heaven and Hell, and was "chosen" to deliver what she had seen to the people of Earth as a message of Hope, and the dangers of those who fail to take heed to her testimony. I would like to begin by saying that I have never came across so MANY contradictions in her story when compared to the Infallible Truth of the Word of God. I was also STUNNED as to how anyone can believe such a story filled with deception and lies. This is the same nonsense that supposed "aliens" use when abducting men and women -- that they have been "chosen"; or are part of a "grander plan".

She also describes the river of the water of life; but unlike what the bible says about it. The river of the water of life (in scripture) proceeds from the THE THRONE of The LORD God Almighty, and of the Lamb. Flowing through a city which is 1500 miles cubed estimated. There are no allegorical meanings when describing measurements; for a 1500 mile cubed city is just that -- 1500 miles cubed. This is the SAME to a man as it is to an angel. She also mentions literal crowns of gold fitted for the head of the one receiving it. I'm looking forward to my "crown of life" where it reads "the crown of life" ON the crown. What about you? (tongue-in-cheek)

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. (Revelation 21:17)

In the video, she describes encountering two female angels carrying an Ephah. She had obviously taken a passage found in the Old Testament in an attempt to "validate" her testimony as authentic. Upon examination . . . we can see that failure to study the Bible with diligence results in taking passages out of context and misinterpreting them. What does the Bible say about female angels?

Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. (Zechariah 5:5-9)

These two women mentioned in the above passage are CLEARLY NOT angels when studied in its context. The two women with the stork-like wings represent wickedness upon the Earth (vv. 8-9). Storks are unclean birds according to the Old Testament (Lev. 11;19; Deut. 14:18). This represents forces of evil and demonic influence upon the Earth -- and NOTHING positive or benevolent. The woman in the basket is a personification of final wickedness in the end times (cf. Mal. 4:1-3; Rev. 18). According to Mary Baxter, these women angels were apparently benevolent in nature. The bible says that the Devil masquerades as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:4). Her alleged trip to Heaven told just that: that her message was to be used as a message to those on Earth about certain details and information about the World to come.

She then mentions that angels were making a diamond for someone's "mansion"; however . . . the Bible makes no mention of any literal mansions (plural). So she is telling her listeners that in the Father's house are many houses or mansions. This must be some place; a mansion that has mansions inside its mansion. Furthermore, Jesus said that He is the one that will prepare a place for His disciples as the Master Carpenter and Chief Architect (Jn. 14:2) -- not angels.

In my Father's house are many mansions (Grk. "mone"/μονή; literally *dwelling places or rooms*): if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2)

Mary K. Baxter said:

"Jesus told me that there is a place in Hell called the "fun center." Souls confined to the pits cannot be brought there. He also told me that though torments are different for different souls, all are burned with fire. The fun center is shaped like a circus arena. Several people who are to be the entertainment are brought to the center ring of the fun center. These are people who knowingly served Satan on earth. They are the ones who, of their own free will, chose to follow Satan instead of God. Around the sides of the arena are the other souls, except those from the pits. The ones in the center ring were leaders in the occult world before their death. They were mediums, soothsayers, sorcerers, mind readers, witches and warlocks-all those who consciously made a choice to serve Satan. When they were alive on earth, they deceived many and caused them to follow Satan and to sin. The ones who had been deceived and were caused to fall into sin came and tormented their deceivers. One by one they were allowed to torture them. In one such torment, spiritual bones were taken apart and buried in different parts of Hell. The soul was literally tom apart and the parts scattered across Hell in a kind of demonic scavenger hunt. The mutilated souls felt tremendous pain. Those outside the arena could throw stones at those who were in the ring. Every imaginable method of torture was allowed. The souls being tormented cried out for death, but that is eternal death. Satan gave the orders for all this to be done. That is his fun center."

The Satan is NOT in *hell* or *the abyss* sitting on a throne at a region referred to as "The Fun Center". What do the Scripture state? Satan's main operation is in the 2nd and 3rd heavens as the "prince of the power of the air". He also moves to and fro in/on the Earth deceiving the world and its system (cf. Job 1:7; Matt. 25:41; Eph. 2:2; Rev. 12:9; 20:3).

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: (Matthew 25:41)

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)

The bible doesn't go into vivid detail as to exactly what types of punishments are doled out in hell -- only that there are degrees of punishments, and that it is Eternal spiritual ruin and separation from God and the redeemed (cf. Matt. 23:14). The story of *the rich man and Lazarus* is the only account where *sheol/hades* is described only as what listeners need to know. We find that it is ONLY *Lazarus* who is given a real NAME; whereas the "rich man" was the "rich man". He is not given a *name* because NOBODY in hell cares about him. A man or woman in hell is not going to ask another person in hell, "What's your name?" Their *identity* is forgotten, and this is a sign of eternal separation from the *living* and *fellowship* where the people of God are given NEW names (cf. 2 Thess. 1:7-9; Rev. 2:17; 3:12).

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction (Grk. "aionios olethros"/αἰώνιος ὄλεθρος) FROM the PRESENCE of the Lord, and FROM the GLORY OF HIS POWER; (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)

Note: Everlasting *destruction" does NOT imply Annihilation as the context CLEARLY reveals it. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be FROM the PRESENCE of ANYONE or ANYTHING (i.e., "God") if one does NOT EXIST. Such a person would NOT BE ANYWHERE. And to suggest so is to completely IGNORE common sense, logic, and reasoning.

What is interesting is that Jesus PERSONALLY gave her a tour of Heaven and Hell, even though the Bible says that He is seated on the Throne of Almighty God. Apparently she does NOT understand that *angels* are *servants* of the LORD, and they would be the ones who would have the "duty" of giving Mary K. Baxter a "tour" of Heaven and Hell (cf. Rev. 1:1; 10:9-10; 11:1; 17:1; 21:9; 22:6).

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I WILL SHEW unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters: (Revelation 17:1)

And HE SHEWED ME a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets SENT HIS ANGEL TO SHEW unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. (Revelation 22:1,6)

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I WILL SHEW THEE the bride, the Lamb's wife. (Revelation 21:9)

In Closing:

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall [add] unto these things, God shall [add unto him the plagues] that are written in this book: And if any man shall [take away] from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall [take away] his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19)

In a nutshell . . . God's Wrath will abide on that person guilty of adding or taking away from the Book of Revelation (Note: I would assume that this would ALSO apply to any other books contained in the Entirety of Scripture.). This is a horrific thing to happen to anyone, and should serve as a STERN WARNING NOT to distort the TRUTH; for It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Heb. 10:31). If someone dies and enters the Eternal City . . . they are NEVER coming back into this world. I am speaking of the FINALITY of death (cf. Heb. 9:27). Death is NOT a cessation of existence; but rather a *separation* of something to which is BELONGS (e.g., "faith [without] works is dead"; "the body [without] the spirit is dead"; see James 2:26). As deceptive as her testimony is, God is absolutely SOVEREIGN and can even use deceivers such as this woman to accomplish His Divine Decree. After all . . . God did use Balaam's donkey to speak words of wisdom to him. So it would not surprise me if there will be those who call upon the LORD for Salvation.

HERE IS THE COUP DE GRACE:

Mary K. Baxter said (18:53-19:00 into the video): "So what I've learned . . .we're "fighting" GOOD . . . I mean EVIL with GOOD; and with the living Word of God."

I would have to agree that she is FIGHTING the forces of GOOD with her EVIL deception. This is what happens when someone greedy of filthy lucre tries to deceive men and women by tampering with the Word of God. Those who have the Spirit of TRUTH (i.e., "The Holy Spirit") will be shown the deception of these wicked men and women who have no fear of God until it's too late.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)

God Bless!

 

[JohnB445]

There was one where a guy claimed he was in hell in a dungeon. That there were demons that morphed into things and they tortured people. He said they looked like reptiles and were 6 feet tall, even claimed scripture confirms.

Another guy claimed people were in cells, where they were tortured in devious ways by demons. A special way of torture for each individual. And that a beautiful looking purple guy was the 2nd in command and plants things into his head.

There was one guy who claimed to have a visit to heaven. Where God said "depart from me" To a long line of people and they were thrown into a portal.

After a couple of these I don't bother anymore with these claims. The Bible doesn't describe hell as a place where people are being stabbed with pitchforks. And what are demons doing running around happy torturing people in hell? I don't see that in the Bible either.

 

[*Light*]

Hi JohnB445,

I think I may know what you're referring to about the guy who spoke about cells and prisons. He may have mentioned a dungeon too, or maybe my memory is just bad.

There is a book titled "23 minutes in hell" written by Bill Wiese: This chronicles a man who died and supposedly went to hell. According to the author (Bill Wiese), he had an outer body experience (OBE) and found himself in hell where there were foul-smelling beasts that were 1,000 times stronger than an average man. These beasts were speaking profane and blasphemous words; and then he realized that he was confined to a prison-like holding cell. Bill heard the screams of billions of condemned people who were consigned to Eternal Punishment. What happened next according to him was that Jesus appeared and told him to WARN others about the dangers and horrors of hell. His experience ended with him finding himself on the floor of his living room screaming in horror.

I thought to myself: now what am I to make of this? And what does the bible say about hell? Can I determine if the experience that this man had was indeed a vision of the biblical hell? I needed to be extremely careful in my discernment of spiritual matters and compare it with what the bible says. I knew that I had to "test the spirits" as commanded in Scripture (1 Jn. 4:1).

The word hell is mentioned a total of 54 times in the King James Bible. It is mentioned 31 times in the Old Testament and 23 times in the New Testament. However, there are different terms in the New Testament used for hell (e.g., Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus). Tartarus is only mentioned once, and it is where certain fallen angels are in chains of darkness until the end of History when they are cast into the Lake of Fire to be tormented forever. When JESUS HIMSELF spoke on hell (the eternal abode of the condemned); it was mentioned by Him in Matt. 5:22, 29-30; 10:28; 11:23, 16:18; 18:9; 23:15; 23:33; Mk. 9:43, 45, 47; Lk. 10:15; 12:5; 16:23 as a WARNING to the unrepentant. It is also mentioned by other New Testament authors who were inspired by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:27, 31; 1 Cor. 15:55; Jas 3:6; Rev. 1:18; 6:8; 20:13-14).

There are several factors that I needed to take into consideration:

Once a person is in hell, there is no escape; and according to many New Testament passages . . . and in the unique story of "the rich man and Lazarus" in the bible -- it is Eternal. Here is just one example of what the bible says about hell in a parable told by Jesus:

"Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house -- for I have five brothers -- so that he may WARN THEM, lest they also come into this place of torment. But Abraham said, They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them. And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. He said to him, if they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced IF SOMEONE SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD." (Luke 16:27b-31)

I found some signs of deception found in this book:

• 1). It gives the impression that someone can go to hell and then escape it if Jesus allows for it; this minimizes the true agony and torments of hell -- which is Eternal.
• 2). It seems that the reason why this author wrote this book is to make money. He is most likely on his way to the true hell for this; and failing to admit to it and repent from his sins.
• 3). Why would someone lie about Hell rather than Heaven? Because there are non-Christians who believe that there is a hell and are deathly afraid of it; so they will be persuaded to buy this book in hopes that they can escape it. Of course no one can prevent themselves from going there without the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ the Lord, and His precious shed blood on the Cross at Calvary.
• 4). There are no demons in hell -- only the lost souls of human beings. There are however fallen angels who are bound by chains of darkness in Tartarus -- but that is a distinct abode from those residing in hell. Jesus made it very clear that hell is "prepared" for the devil and his fallen angels (Matt. 25:41).
• 5). How did the author measure the strength of these beasts (1,000 times stronger than a man) is beyond me. Did he give them a bench press? Did he arm wrestle them?
• 6). Jesus Himself spoke and ALREADY WARNED of hell MANY times in the Gospels. There would be NO REASON at all for Jesus to WARN others through this man of hell AGAIN since He made it CRYSTAL CLEAR in the Gospels.
• 7). Those in hell are "naked" (Rev. 16:5) and thus have no clothes or "watches". So the mention of 23 "minutes" in hell is a "DEAD" giveaway that this man's experience is fictional. The "rich man"also had NO NAME in the story taught by Jesus in Luke 16:27-31 because no one cares for the rich man in hell. Although the bible mentions some cases of Resurrection (1 Kin. 17:17-24; Matt. 27:52-53; Lk. 7:11-17; 8:49-56; Jn. 11:1-44; et al.)

"And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the JUDGEMENT." (Hebrews 9:27)

The bible mentions the eternal abode of the wicked to literally "scare the hell" out of them. And for this reason God Himself desires that none should go there; which is why He gave His only begotten Son to die for the sins of the World. Satan wants those who are headed towards hell to be deceived into believing that there is a "chance" that they may escape it if Jesus appears to them granting them repentance. There is NO REPENTANCE in hell since the Spirit of God is AWAY from their presence; and only the Holy Spirit can grant them repentance (cf. 2 Thess. 1:9). They will continue to heap upon themselves sins forever. A person ends up in hell because they reject the Gospel and have willfully hardened their hearts to the Mercy of God. Those in hell want absolutely NOTHING to do with God -- which is why they are there.

In Closing:

The Bible makes it abundantly clear that there comes a point where people's hearts become permanently hardened (crystalized) after rejecting God extending His Loving arms out for the lost. It devastated God the Father to place the sins of the World on His Beloved Son, and that Christ had to suffer a death so serious that we can NEVER understand it with our finite minds. God the Father had to look away; and this was devastating for Him; and He cannot look upon sin. There can be no further revelation to those who reject this offer. The one who rejects this offer will never accept the Gospel and repent -- even in hell. There are instances in the bible where the Wrath of God is displayed; and the reaction to His *Wrath* is them blaspheming Him by gnashing their teeth with contempt. The wicked *repented not* when under God's *Wrath* (cf. Heb. 6:4-6; Rev. 9:20-21; 16:11). This is telling us that if they will not repent during God's Wrath -- then they most certainly NOT repent when God's *Wrath* abides on them for all of Eternity in Hell and the Lake of Fire. The "gnashing" of teeth is a descriptive of someone who is full of hatred and contempt for another person. We find an example of this in the Martyr of Stephen (Acts 7:54-60). The rich man in the story about his entrance into hell is very telling -- even though some find this to be allegorical. The rich man had NO desire to REPENT; as a matter of FACT . . . he still had the audacity to request the begger to serve him by dipping his finger in water to cool his tongue (Lk. 16:24). The rich man only asked for "mercy" once; and it was directed towards Abraham -- and ONLY God can grant forgiveness and mercy.

God Bless!

 

[JohnB445]

That was very informative.

I've watched the Bill Wise testimony. I wasn't buying it either, when he said the demons looked like reptiles that were 6 feet tall and even said there was scripture for that (When there wasn't). Blew it for me.

I watched 4 more people claiming to have OBE. After that I came to a conclusion most of these OBE aren't real claims.

Now I do believe that some may have a genuine OBE experience, but if someone is claiming they went to hell and back or even heaven I would be very skeptical. I haven't seen one testimony that doesn't contradict the Bible or sound ridiculous.

He is probably referring to a verse in Revelation that says two demons looked like frogs.

Dear Beloved,

There seems to be a surge of men and women who have testimonies regarding their visits to Heaven and Hell. I would like to begin by saying that I have carefully examined MANY of their testimonies using the Infallible Word of God;

Then you know it can't happen.

All will sleep first:

Daniel 12:2
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

People are to big:

Matthew 19:24
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

And besides all this....it's impossible:

Luke 16
25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’

 

[*Light*]

Here are the number of *lies and deception* that this woman in question had (Mary K. Baxter) in the OP. I may have missed a few of them; but it totaled *27 forms of lies and deception*. I carefully compared her *lies and deception* in LIGHT of *The infallible Word of God*.

"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is writen, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. (Romans 3:4)"

By the way . . . I didn't count the *Crocodile Tears*.

God Bless!
