Details: I have read a lot of books on the revelation of Hell. I have heard a lot of sermons on its existence, but nothing had prepared me for what I was about to read between the covers of this book "A Divine Revelation of Hell."
The author, over a period of forty days, is given visions of hell and the people who are trapped there for eternity. I cannot begin to tell you the horrors that she saw and reported, but if you really want to know what is there, this is the book for you.
However, I will warn you, she is faithful to reporting exactly what she has seen and if I were you, I would prepare myself before I opened the pages of this book ,because if what she is saying is true, and I believe it is,
than we all must reevaluate our very existence and motives in this life before it is too late.
A very good read that I hope will reach many so they will turn to Jesus and never have to be trapped in this place we call Hell. |

Details: This book is one of the strongest weapons against a common and subtle lie found in many Christian churches and other religions. The lie reveals itself as any way to evade mention of hell. If you press their theology, you find that hell is "just a concept" or "not eternal" or "not real." _A Course in Miracles_, which purports to be fully Christian, teaches this way, as do some of the eastern or Indian religions, especially the ones that rely on re-incarnation. This book gives such an honest picture of hell, just like something any ordinary person would write after seeing hell, that I cannot dismiss it easily. Baxter's writing style is simple and those reviewers who criticise the presentation or the images as deceptive or contrived have missed one of the beauties of this book. It is startling, as a Christian who has personally seen Jesus, to comprehend that God is capable of turning down the pleadings of a person burning in hell. But the reason why is confirmed by that pleading soul's response once he is denied: He immediately begins cursing Jesus. It is obvious that he had not yet repented--why should Jesus release a liar? An illustration: When I went to jail, I was a guilty soul. I resisted with all of my might as I was arrested, and well into the solitary confinement cell that they put me in because I was so angry. However, after two days in there, praying all the time, I began to comprehend what was happening was MY fault, and I became deeply humbled. I began to repent. As I was allowed to mingle with other prisoners, I found there were two kinds of prisoners: those who had been humbled, and those who weren't yet. Those who were humble were rare, gentle, patient, and looked forward with faith to their release. Those who were still fighting, who still thought they were wrongly arrested, these were dangerous, liars, and traitors who played power trips on each other. Unchecked, these kinds of souls are the ones who end up in hell--they'll pretend to be your friend until they get what they want from you, then they will turn and rip you to shreds. This is what Jesus walked away from with such stoicism. No matter what you think of this book, you will never forget it, as long as you live. I plan to read it again, not to scare myself, but to work on a closer understanding of the souls who end up in hell. I love people very much and do not want anyone to go to hell. I pray for the other reviewers who preferred to read this book on a superficial level, that they will comprehend its very clear, very eloquent, deeper message. In Jesus' name, Amen. |

Details: I've heard alot of people say if God loves us so much why does he allow those souls to suffer.The truth is he doesn't want us to suffer, he wants us to turn to him and repent truly for all the sins we've commited and he will forgive us so that we don't have to suffer once judgement has been past. All the souls that Mary Baxter encounters are souls who repent only once they are in hell by which time it is indeed too late. The Lord wants us to accept him and to believe in him while we are still alive on earth. If we don't believe in him and accept him how can we expect Jesus to save us?. Is it right for us to commit all the sins under the sun and then when we die expect our souls to go to heaven automatically without any accountability for those sins? and above all with out knowing our saviour Jesus Christ.Think about that! and secondly if this book was the work of the devil, is he going to show us ways to avoid getting trapped in his Kingdom of eternal torture. When I read this I really felt sad, because I understood why Jesus was described as having a sorrowful face. He was sad because He suffered a horrible death for our sins and despite that fact people still will not accept him and choose a life with him that is free from sorrow, instead without knowing him some of us expect to get a free ticket to heaven.And whats even sad is that Jesus still loves us all even those souls who suffer and thats why he doesn't want more souls to come there that he told Mary to right this account. I feel Jesus is trying his best to reach out to us and he is sad for all those souls that go astray because he died for their souls aswell, and all they had to do was accept and ask for his forgiveness while they were alive on earth and they wouldn't have to suffer. God sent Jesus to us so that we might believe in him. When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit he commited the first sin. Since we are all desendants of Adam and Eve we bear the scar of that sin aswell, and because of that our relationship with God was scared too. But Jesus died for all our sins and by doing so he became the ultimate sacrifice which brought us closer to God. So if we don't accept Jesus we don't accept God , the one who sent him.
Its funny. One fact that will never change is that someday we will all die. And that is some thing we are sure of but continue to ignore and go on with our mundane lives of making more money so I can buy that car, or I can buy that house or I can buy whatever, basically very materialistic. I'm not saying I'm a saint cos I'm guilty of doing those things too but the truth of it is this book helped me realise what we should be focusing on and what happens after we die this book is an insight into that. We come into this world with nothing and we can take nothing out of it, but the only thing you leave behind is how will people remember you by? Its not going to matter to God if you owned a Merc or if your husband was famous or not. What matters is how you lived your life.
And finally, true the discriptions may seem a little unbeliveable but you put all that aside, and if you look at the message that is repeated over and over in the book is - If you are truly sorry for your sins and you understand that you have sinned and ask Jesus to forgive you he will give you his forgiveness, its that simple. Is that such a bad thing? Do you think Satan is going to ask us to turn towards Jesus?
May God bless all of you and I hope what I wanted to say came out as something as usfull and not as a sermon. Its your turn to decide.
May God have mercy and forgive us all of our sins |

Details: I have judged this book to the best of my ability and I see that it does not contradict scripture in anyway but infact elaborates on some areas that scripture talks about.More precisely all that happens in hell. Mary Kay Baxter is one of those few believers whom I believe the Lord has called.Many will doubt and say, 'God could never send a soul to hell'.For this same reason or perception countless millions are burning in hell.Mary is taken in the realm of the spirit by Jesus to Hell or Gehenna where she sees the torments of those who truly rejected Christ.They may have had a form of godliness but these in hell truly loved sin and rejected Christs commandment to Love God First and Then love fellow men.They either loved the world and God at the same time or totally rejected Christ.The writings are expressly biblical:"Where the fire quencheth not and the worm Dieth not" see matt & Isaiah 66. The Objective is not to make you frightened, but rather to reveal clearly the sinful age within which we live, and to know Gods judgment on the sins of the unrepentant.In the book and the bible it is clearly stated that salvation is by Jesus christ alone, and true repentance {absolute turning away from sin}is necessarry if one wills to. According to the book [in accordance with Scripture see 1John],If one falls into sin, according to Jesus, there is an advocate which is Christ himself who pleads for the believer before the Father. Another striking faucet of her revelation is the similarity of her visions of the world to come describing mountains of glory which would adorn the glory of the Jerusalem where Jesus would reign :Strikingly,The prophet Enoch, had very similar visions of mountains of glory adorning the glory of the soon-returning King,Jesus Christ see 1 Enoch & 2Enoch .The second theme about the book is the end time prophecies which reveal the man of sin and how the whole world who rejcts Jesus would follow him to serve satan and sin.The antichrist does bring what the world wants but his sinful motives end up in the tribulation. Jesus prophesies about a soon coming great revival that would sweep millions of souls into eternity from all corners of the earth.He also speaks about the terrible judgment and annhilation that the earth would go through during the tribulation.Finally she is given a glimpse of how aborted babies are kept with Christ in heaven;And God the Father shows her that he cares deeply for every soul including those newborn babies whom the world has flushed down the drain;She pleads and tells all to accept Jesus throughout nearly all chapters in the book. This book does not tickle the ears but simply expresses Gods Great love and great Severity.Similar end-time prophecies are in the book of Rev,Isaiah,Daniel,Zechariah, Enoch[uncanonical] and Psalms 1.This book should not be taken lightly.It is better for one not to read it at all than to label it a heresy or a figment of ones imagination.I hope you allread it to learn truth which sadly to say is very hard to find these days.Godbless you as you read it. Read Visions of hell and heaven,Prophecies by Ray Aguilera to learn more about Gods Love and Gods Judgment. To The Glory of The Father Jehovah ,The Son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit :One God Eternal. |

Details: I have read both books, The Divine Revelation of Hell and The Divine Revelation of Heaven. Those who choose not to believe what hell is all about have only themselves to blame when they find themselves in hell. You will have all eternity to think about what you read and chose to ignore. Please, for not only God's sake but for your own, do not let satan fool you! |
