Does Hell Lead Straight To The Lake Of Fire (part 2)

Hi, I’m Ray Melograne and this is another Real Life video.  Today we are going to finish our discussion whether Hell leads straight to the Lake of Fire. Most people make the mistake of lumping Hell and the Lake of Fire together as the same thing.  In our last study, we proved that they are two different places.  The next statement that most people will make (after you prove a distinction between Hell and the Lake of Fire) is that it doesn’t matter.  They believe that everyone who is in Hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire after the White Throne Judgement.  Today’s study is focused on determining whether that is true.  Please watch the video for more information on this topic.

Hell vs. The Lake of Fire Summary Video (part 2)

This is part two of the summary video in our series on Hell vs. the Lake of Fire.  In this video, we use the information we have learned from our comprehensive word studies on the Lake of Fire and Hell to determine the similarities and differences between the two places.  From here, future word studies (based on pertinent words from this study) can be conducted to gain further insight.  In addition, we demonstrate how this information gathered by our current study can be used to discern the meaning of other verses that may apply to either Hell or the Lake of Fire.  Please watch the video for a full explanation of all of this.  Please watch part one of this teaching if you haven’t already.

Word Study on Hell – part 1

This is the third video in our series on Hell vs. the Lake of Fire.  In this video, we will examine all of the King James Bible verses that contain the word “hell.”  Studying these verses in context will help us to gain a better understanding of what the Lake of Fire is, and what God tells us about it in His word.
                There are 54 passages in the King James Bible that include the word “hell.”  In the last blog, I listed all the passages within the blog text (since there were only 4).  For this blog, I will include an attached MS Word file (and a PDF version) that lists all 54 verses.  The files are actually attached to the version of the blog found on my website.  Here is a link to that page.  Please print out this attached document, and use it to help follow along in the study.  This word study will be broken into several videos to help accommodate for length (not too much in one sitting).  For the blog that corresponds with the last video in the word study on Hell, I will attach another document entitled “Attributes of Hell.”  This document will list all the keywords we discussed in the videos, and which verses they correspond to.

The included video studies the context of each the first 11 (out of 54) passages that mention the word “hell” in the King James Bible.  Please watch the video for more information.

Word Study on The Lake of Fire

This is the second video in our series on Hell vs. the Lake of Fire.  In this video, we will examine all of the King James Bible verses that contain the phrase “lake of fire.”  Studying these verses in context will help us to gain a better understanding of what the Lake of Fire is, and what God tells us about it in His word.

             There are four passages in the King James Bible that include the phrase “lake of fire.”  They are:

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone (AKJV).

Revelation 20:10 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 (AKJV).

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death (AKJV).

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (AKJV).

The included video studies the context of each of these passages.  Please watch the video for more information.


Hell vs. The Lake of Fire

As I have mentioned in my past videos, there are many layers of lies that Satan has fabricated to prevent us from knowing the truth within the Bible.  I found it difficult to decide which topic to start with when attempting to peel away these lies.  I have decided to start with a comparison between Hell and the Lake of Fire.  Are they the same thing, or are they different?  This will be a series of studies starting with this introduction.  Then we will conduct a word study (or phrase study) on the Lake of Fire.  This will be followed by a word study on Hell.  Finally, we will have a summary video where we wrap up what has been covered and discuss what conclusions can be drawn.
According to Revelation chapter 20, Hell and the Lake of Fire are not the same place.  Verse 10 says, “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 (AKJV).”  This can be contrasted with verse 13 which says, “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works (AKJV).”  If “death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them,” this means that there will be a time when the inhabitants of Hell are taken out of it.  However, the inhabitants of the Lake of Fire “shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever,” according to verse 10. 

In addition to this, verse 14 provides the most solid evidence to support that Hell and the Lake of Fire are two different places.  It says, “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death (AKJV).”  You cannot cast something into itself.  In this verse, Hell is clearly being thrown into the Lake of Fire.  Yes, Hell contains a fire that cannot be quenched.  So, how do you dispense of an unquenchable fire?  Well, God tells us that He is going to throw it into the Lake of Fire.  He confirms that this act causes the end of Hell by calling it the second death.  Throughout the Bible, Hell and Death are follow closely together.  In this verse, though, Hell and Death are ended.  At that point, a new link begins between the Lake of Fire and the Second Death.  To learn more about this topic, please watch the accompanying video.

Sam Gipp and The Name of JesusShareEmbedEmail

Hi everybody, I’m Ray Melograne and this is my second Real Life video.  On a side note, I want to apologize for my first video entitled Real Life: Intro Video.  In that video, I included several text boxes that I intended to turn into hyperlinks.  YouTube used to have an annotation tool called spotlight, which could be used to create a transparent link box around any material in your video.  However, they have decided to discontinue annotations as of May 2, 2017.  I was not aware of this since I have not been posting to YouTube for a while (as I mentioned in my intro. video).  I tried to fix this by placing card and end screen links on that video that lead to the videos of Bryan’s that I mentioned.  I also placed links in the description of that intro. video.  I hope my text boxes did not cause too much confusion. 
Now let me get on with the content of this video.  On May 9th, 2017 Steven Anderson posted a video where he pointed out that Dr. Sam Gipp had taught a heretical concept pertaining to the name of Jesus.  Bryan Denlinger then posted a video on May 12th entitled “Answering A Heresy Being Taught By Sam Gipp,” where he played through the pertinent part of Dr. Gipp’s sermon and explained why it was wrong.  Bryan also posted two follow-up videos entitled “A Public Rebuke Of Sam Gipp” and “Was I Wrong About Sam Gipp?”.  I am not providing a link to Steven Anderson’s video, because I would prefer to provide his YouTube channel with as few views as possible.  Bryan did ask Steven to provide a link for Dr. Gipp’s full sermon to be sure that he was not taken out of context.  Steven had to post the full sermon since it had since become password protected.  Here is a link to that post of the full sermon.  Even though that is another post by Steven Anderson, I believe the availability of that post is important for people who want to verify the information. 
I believe that Bryan Denlinger did an excellent job in his video “Answering A Heresy Being Taught By Sam Gipp,” and I am not looking to correct it in any way.  If you haven’t seen that video, I would encourage you to watch it in order to have a good understanding of why Sam Gipp’s sermon was incorrect.  However, I would like to add one thing to what Bryan shared.  I only came across this truth in the Bible because I happened to be studying Zechariah 6 just before all of these videos came out.  I find it ironic that Sam Gipp tried to use Zechariah 8 to prove that Jesus’ name should be Emanuel.  He states that Jesus received the name “Jesus” when He was born (at 17:19 in Bryan’s video).  If he would just turn back two chapters he would have seen a reference to Jesus’ name in the book of Zechariah.  

Zechariah 6:11-12 says, “11Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall build the temple of the Lord:”.  Verse 11 verifies that God is telling Zechariah to speak to Joshua.  In verse 12, God tells Zechariah to say that Joshua is “the man whose name is The BRANCH.”  That means that Joshua has the same name as someone else who holds the title The BRANCH.  When the title “The BRANCH” (with all capital letters for the word branch) is used in the Bible is a title for Jesus.  I will show you that in scripture in a moment.  However, the name Joshua is a Hebrew name.  If that name is translated into Greek, it becomes the name Jesus.  So basically, God is saying in verse 12 that Joshua (or Jesus) the high priest of that day has the same name as the man who will be born in the future to fulfill the role of The BRANCH (the Messiah).  Therefore, Jesus (the Messiah) received his name through prophecy in Zechariah 6:12.  Watch the video to learn more about this.

Intro. (Who Am I?)

 Hi, my name is Ray Melograne.  I am a King James Bible believer, and I am going to be making a series of Bible study videos here on YouTube.  Being a King James Bible believer, I understand that we need to be discerning as to who we listen to, what teachings we accept and who we fellowship with.  There are some professing King James Bible believers who’s purpose is either to deceive us, or spread an untrue image of what we believe/represent to the rest of the world.  Before I release my videos, I wanted to make this introductory video where I explain who I am, why I record my videos the way I do and what my main purpose for making videos is.  From there, you can decide whether you want to watch my videos and consider what I have to say.
