The last blog that I wrote, someone asked me an interesting question. I really like the comments and questions, they give me something to think about. I decided this blog will be a partial answer to the comment section, since I had so much to say and really did not want to leave a long comment. Feel free to comment or ask questions!
Are there different levels to hell since there are different levels to heaven? I believe so. If God has created this world to have "mirror images" of the things in it, then surely hell is just the opposite of heaven and has just as many levels. Now, I am not so sure that the spirits that we see around us are in a literal hell as we think of it in our finite minds. It may be a hell of their own choosing since they are refusing to move on.
And, yes, the Bible does say that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. There are actually 3 different places that the deceased go to. From what I understand, those that were under Mosaic Law, or the Laws of Moses in the Old Testament, are asleep in the spirit until the day of Judgment. Those under the Davidic Law, or Christ's Redemption, in the New Testament, are present with the Lord as soon as their spirit crosses over. Those that were and are martyred for Jesus and God are placed under the Altar of the Lord until the Day of Judgment. In other words, there is a special place in Heaven for them. Do I believe that some of the spirits have stayed behind? Yes. Do I believe most of them have crossed over? Yes.
Well, I just wanted to explain what I think is going on. I may be very wrong, or I may be very right. I won't know until I get there.
Stay tuned for the next blog!
