God caused mourning, restrained the rivers, held back the great waters, and trees wilted.

“Thus says the Lord God: ‘In the day when it went down to hell, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it. I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were held back. I caused Lebanon to be darkened, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.” Ezekiel 31:15

When Egypt was cast down to the very worst place possible on this earth, God caused mourning among those who depended on her for military and economic aid. The Israelites were among those receiving armaments from Egypt. God moved to restrain all the rivers that was flowing with armaments, and all the great waters of every other type of resources were held back. Every single nation that was dependent on Egypt wilted.

Today, we see how America is being cast down to the contemporary hell of this world. America has been the supplier of military aid and economic support to countries around the world. Countries such as Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, the NATO allies, Ukraine, Philippines, etc. Within the borders of America there is chaos everywhere and countries once dependent on her are now mourning their impending doom. God restrains the rivers of America that once flowed with armaments, and the great waters of resources and global support are being held back. The allied trees of America’s global field are wilting.

While those of this world believe that hell does not go beyond this earth, the Holy Bible teaches us that hell is an eternal place beyond the grave. It’s a place of eternal torment in the lake of fire for those who turn from the will of God for us to receive Jesus Christ and that oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. As quoted from Daniel 12:2 “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Also quoted from Revelation 20:13-15 “And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each one was judged according to their deeds. And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” In eternal hell beyond the grave, there is torment, mourning, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

In life beyond the grave, God cuts off the rivers of hell from ever flowing again and holds back the great waters of sin, death, and rebellion. Hell is the fire Pit where all wickedness is restrained. We who believe in God through Jesus Christ will live in the New Jerusalem, where pure rivers of life flow freely from the throne of God and of the Lamb, “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” Revelation 22:1

Those in hell will live in eternal darkness, that they loved so much on this earth, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19 In the New Jerusalem, there is eternal light, “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.” Revelation 22:23

Hell is a place where the trees forever wilt, compared to the tree of life in the New Jerusalem, “In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:2

God sent His Son Jesus Christ so that whoever believes in Him will not perish in hell but have eternal life in the New Jerusalem, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Jesus Christ says, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
