Most of Rich Men Go to the Hell from the Spirit World after Death

It seems that one in thousand is to have near-death experiences, which is however smaller than the number of people infected by the corona virus. 

Their reports on their near-death experiences match the description about the spirit world by Swedenborg, an 18th century psychic who was allowed by Christ Jesus to see the afterworld while living in this world.

However, those who had near-death experiences just took access to the entrance to the spirit world.  They did not see the whole status of the the afterlife that comprises of the spirit world, Heaven, and the hell.  It is said that the spirit world is much more beautiful and clearer than this world.  So, they seemed to take it as Heaven.  Accordingly, their reports on near-death experiences are often taken as the proof that both the good and the evil will enter into Heaven alike.  However, according to Swedenborg, souls that have entered into the spirit world are separated between those going to Heaven and others going to the hell.  Therefore, the reports by those having near-death experiences just reveal the status of the spirit world before Heaven and the hell.

Swedenborg wrote that souls of evil men spontaneously choose the hell after death without being forced by the God.  The hell is not the place to punish evil men's souls for their sins after death in this world as some churches teach.  They choose and go to the hell from the spirit world on a voluntary base, since the hell looks so attractive to them.  Indeed, in the hell, there are no laws, worldly restrictions, and need to think much of the public image; in other words, souls of evil men can do evil as much as they like.  Accordingly, they will be 1,000 times or more violent, satanic, and harmful.  They execute their evil power to others who have also come to the hell from the spirit world after death.  Attacking one another with evil force and intent is a common practice in the hell, which also means suffering from others' attacks is also a common state in the hell.

Probably, in a near-death experience, the soul of a dying man must not see evil souls living in the hell, so that it thinks that the afterlife is so beautiful like a kind of Heaven.  Indeed, it is rare to find a near-death experience report that tells the horrible status of the hell.

Nonetheless, the spirit world is linked with the hell, so that evil spirits in the hell can come into the spirit world where spirits can sometimes communicate with souls of living men.  Therefore, it is dangerous for a living man to communicate with spirits in the spirit world, since an evil spirit can occupy the body of the living man through communications with him.  The evil spirit would try to destroy the man from the inside of his body and the mind after suppressing his soul.  For this reason, Swedenborg wrote that it was dangerous for a man to communicate with a spirit in the spirit world.  So, the spirit world is hidden from living people.  Swedenborg also wrote that if living men could see the spirit world, he would go insane.

Only those who have come so close to death to have near-death experiences or who have been allowed by Christ Jesus to see the spirit, like Swedenborg, should be able to safely see the spirit world.        

    

But, what is being evil, although Swedenborg simply wrote that evil men's spirits hate the light of the God?  They love violence, deceit, and dominating and harming others as well as seeing others suffering.

In my opinions, the state of being evil is represented by rich men who can be and continue to be rich while knowing other poor men suffering without money or being forced to reluctantly obey the rich men due to a lack of money.  In this context, being rich is tantamount to being evil.  Therefore, Christ Jesus said that rich men could not virtually enter into Heaven, which means that evil men could not bear the light of Heaven so that they chose to go to the hell. 

Nonetheless, Swedenborg wrote that he saw some rich men in Heaven.  And, it is thought that Swedenborg, an elite official and scholar of Sweden in the 18th century, was himself a kind of rich men.  Probably, those rich men happened to be or continue to be rich without knowing what states poor men were in.  Therefore, Christ Jesus did not say that poor men could not absolutely enter into Heaven, but for poor men to enter into Heaven is more difficult than a camel going through the eye of a needle.

That is why I am assured that most of rich men go to the hell from the spirit world after death in this world.

John 11, King James Version

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

"the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" - Warnings from Newton and Swedenborg

Warnings from Newton and Swedenborg 

Swedenborg (1688-1772) who saw the spirit world or the afterlife while living in this world in the 18th century reported that he saw the spirit of Isaac Newton (1642-1727) in the afterlife and praised his sincerity.

Swedenborg wrote about the Last Judgment being conducted in the spirit world in 1757.  And he expected that this Last Judgment in the spirt world should affect the human society in this world centuries later.  On the other hand, Newton predicted after years of study on the Bible that the end of the world might start after 2060.

The 18th century is the time when the Scientific Revolution had already started and the Industrial Revolution is happening in England.  Swedenborg often traveled to England from Sweden to learn science and write his books on spirit matters.  His original writings are now kept in the British Museum.

According to Swedenborg, there have been the Last Judgment three times in the history both in the spirit world and the human world.  The fist happened when the Great Flood that Noah experienced occurred.  The second was when Christ Jesus first came to this world.  And the third occurred in the spirit world while Swedenborg was spiritually observing it.  Each Last Judgment was conducted to purify the spirit world and save good spirits from evil spirits.  They influenced the human world, too, although the human beings have not been exterminated. 

Anyway, the modern human society is supported by modern science and technology started with Newton and other scientists since the middle of the 17th century.  While science and technology has developed drastically without interruption to date, effect and influence of the Vatican, Protestant churches, etc. has dwindled.  In this environment, people have come to stick to material desires and forget spiritual matters.  People have come to regard everything spiritual and religious as superstition or a moral lesson.  But when near-death experiences were studied and reported publicly by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Raymond Moody, etc. after WWII, their books received a great response from public, since their works reminded them of importance of the spirit world and the afterlife apart from teachings of traditional religions.

Swedenborg and Newton were credible and responsible persons.  And, the human world today looks no better than a faithless world with so many people brainwashed by money and chasing material happiness in this world without regarding salvation of their souls in this world and the afterlife.  Therefore, the spirit world or the afterlife must be full of evil souls to whom greedy people have turned to after their deaths in this world.  As so many evil souls have come to the spirit world or the afterlife from this human world, the God should execute the Last Judgement sooner or later in this world like the way He conducted in the spirit world.  This Corona pandemic must be a warning to it.

According to Swedenborg, in the first Last Judgment, evil spirits that had come to emerge in the spirit world after the era of Adam were wiped away, and in the second Last Judgment the spirit world with full of evil spirits and Satan causing confusions there were suppressed by Christ Jesus.  In the third Last Judgment, it is said that bad influences from rotten and degraded churches and priests were cleared in the spirit world.

As today's worship of money and rampancy of materialism driven by modern capitalism and commercialism can be thought as a result of rotten and degraded churches and priests, the third Last Judgment is really needed in this world like it happened in 1757 in the spirit world.

We may see the result around 2060 as Newton predicted even if the human history is not ended due to the third Last Judgment.  As for my opinion based on inspiration, the near future will not be so tragic, but the remote future of the mankind looks dim.

Nonetheless, if we are accepted in Heaven through the spirit world after death in this world, we can get eternal life regardless of whatever status this human world will be in, according to Christ Jesus.

Matthew 11, King James Version

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"I send my messenger before thy face" - Eternal Life is the Most Valuable Thing

Eternal Life is the Most Valuable Thing

Eternal life is the most valuable thing that men can obtain.  Even if his life in this world can be extended one more year, a rich and old man with a severe illness would pay one million dollar or more to a medical doctor, a man with super-natural power, a saint, etc. in charge.

But what is the eternal life?

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life. (John 6)

17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17)

Eternal life belongs to the God.  And, the God gave Christ Jesus the power to give eternal life to men.  And, eternal life means to know the God and Christ Jesus or it is given to a man when he sees the God and Christ Jesus.  But, Christ Jesus said that any man who believes in Him should be given eternal life.  This is one of core creeds of Christianity.

In addition, Swedenborg, an 18th century psychic, wrote that everybody's soul has eternal life since it had come from the God who had eternal life.  In deed, every report of men who had near-death experience showed that every soul could enter into the spirit world after death in this world.  So, it seems that everyone has eternal life in his soul that can live forever in the spirit world or the afterlife regardless of whether or not he believes in the God or Christ Jesus.

However, Swedenborg wrote that every soul that entered into the spirit world was requested there to enhance itself to ascend to upper levels closer to the God; evil spirits of evil men could also enter into the spirit world but they gathered themselves in places as far as the God to avoid the light of love and goodness emitted from the God, which was called the hells.

Nonetheless, the God has the power to destroy Satan and those in the hells as Matthew 10 reads:

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Put simple, if we believe in the God and Christ Jesus, we would not be put into the hells, so that we should not be destroyed by the God, obtaining or securing eternal life of our souls.

So then, what should we do to prove that we believe in the God and Christ Jesus?  By reading the Gospels straightforwardly, we have to conclude that we have to be poor as much as possible to prove our belief in the God and Christ Jesus.

Therefore, we have to say that only poor men can acquire eternal life in Heaven while rich men go to the hell to be destroyed by the God.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find" - Socrates and Christ Jesus Claimed Not To Fear Death

Socrates and Christ Jesus Claimed Not To Fear Death

Socrates (470-399 BC) said that there were two possibilities about what would happen after death. 

One is complete nothingness like sleep without a dream.  Another is transition of one's soul to another world or life after death.

He argued that whichever happened after death, it was better than continuing life in this world with bad incidents day after day and bad dreams night after night.  Socrates also stressed that people did not have wisdom of ignorance while they were afraid of death they did not understand although he admitted that he did not completely understand death.  So, Socrates said that he had at least wisdom of ignorance. 

Socrates also said that especially good-natured people should not be afraid of death, since gods would surely accept them in the afterworld.  Accordingly, Plato, one of followers of Socrates, developed his philosophy based on the notion that human souls should enter into the afterworld.

However, this notion that human souls would enter into the afterworld after death in this world did not save the world.

Then, 400 years after Socrates, Christ Jesus came to this world telling people that everybody could enter into the spirit world after his physical death in this world but only souls of poor men could be accepted in Heaven while those of rich men should go to the hell.  

In other words, Christ Jesus came to save this world by saving poor people, since rich people did not have any requirement that this world should be saved.  So, Christ Jesus tried to save this world by giving assurance to the poor that their souls would be surely accepted in Heaven in the spirit world after their death in this world.

In this regard, Christ Jesus' claim that He had been dispatched by the God to the human world is critical, since the God created the spirit world and the physical human world.

Put simply, if we admit the existence of the God, we have to admit and believe what Christ Jesus said about what would happen to men after their death in this world.

If Socrates had believed in the God, the sole creator of the universe, he should have clearly said that men, poor and rich alike, should enter into the spirit world after death.  So, nobody should be afraid of death, he must say.

But, Christ Jesus must have thought that saving this world meant saving poor people.  And, to save the poor people, He told them that they could surely be accepted in Heaven, where they would be happy, through the spirit world after their deaths in this world.

Anyway, the greatest figures both in philosophy and religion in Europe assured that men, especially poor men, should not be afraid of death.

Luke 11, King James Version
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
