Destruction Or Torment?
Q. I heard a teaching on a TV show called “It Is Written.” The speaker claimed that hell has an end. That at the 2nd death, hell will be burned up, and all that are in it will cease to exist. Is the 2nd death after the Great White Throne Judgment, at the end of the Millennium? Will hell cease to exist at that time, with those in it destined to non-existence?
A. “It is Written” is a production of the 7th day Adventist Church, for the purpose of explaining the official position of that group.
Rev. 20: 11-15 describes the judgment of the unsaved at the end of the Millennium. At this judgment they will be raised from death, the sea, and Hades (Hell) and will be judged according to their works. Then death and Hades will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
The Lake of Fire is not a method of destruction, like a vast incinerator. If it was there would be no purpose in judging the unsaved according to what they had done (Rev. 20:13). It is a place of eternal torment.
Many people don’t realize that Hades (Hell) is a temporary place where the the unsaved dead go to await the final judgment at the end of the Millennium. After that judgment, those whose names are written in the book of life will enter eternity where there will be no more death and no more unbelievers. Those whose names are not in the book of life will go into the Lake of fire (Rev. 20:15).

Hello Friends, and Followers of TOM'S JOURNAL !
We just got back from our "mini-vacation" today from S.E. Wisconsin, Union Grover, WI., --of visiting family, friends, my old church, buying clothes from the Big Stores in the big cities, and terrible, crazy traffic/ grid-lock, and fancy restaurants like Red Lobster, etc. I never slept better than down in my old house, where Terri still did a lot of hard work carrying out the trash, cleaning and saving a few things to carry back to 'OUR Home' in the U. P., but no TV down there, just a few great radios... and my old bed was smaller.... LOL, but great for good sleep and cuddling. My old pastor George Schleigel, was happy and gracious to me, with warm words of 'welcome' too -- as the people down there wanted to see my new bride, Terri, but too many of my 'old friends' seemed to be missing that day... and maybe THEY were also on vacations.
But... no body kept up with my long, tall lawn cutting fort 2 whole months, as I was so upset and disappointed to see some of the grass a foot long!! No wonder the old house didn't sell yet ! Heck! If no body wanted to cut my lawn down there, they could have at least notified me !!! It's hard to find real men, and real friends these days....And there are too few real Veterans around anymore either to depend on. Mostly Veterans still "Keep their Words."
But a curious thing happened while we were down there... a happy couple went by there and upon seeing the freshly cut lawn, that I, personally 'contracted' --bribed $$$$ to get mowed, decided to just knock at the door to see if they could 'see the place' [as they drove by my old "For Sale" house in Union Grove, WI 53182, but for some reason, they could never contact any Realtors to gain entrance for viewing..... duh, but they liked the house so much and we all exchanged phone numbers and I gave their number to my own realtor also.... so maybe things went our way for a reason! Actually, I was sleeping early that evening, being tuckered out by the heat and running around, so Terri woke me up and I put on some pants, etc., so the couple looked around and heard about all the improvements I made to the 100 year old place that no tornado could blow down.
After Terri bought me $165. worth of clothes from a big and tall men's shop [so I would not walk around dressed like a bum...ha! --in just black sweat pants, etc.], and we got most of our business done, I told Terri that she could shop till she dropped and go explore the local area --- but stay on the 'beaten path.' And she did just that!! My good, beautiful, Terri deserves all of that and then MORE!! She is very hard working, and unfortunately, I found out the hard way recently that I depend on her for almost everything now days, for physical things..... grrrrrrr, I feel so helpless these day, out of breath all the time, and my legs lock up, full of lactic acid, and I can't walk for any long distances. That sure does hurt my pride a lot, having been very athletic and a power lifter most of my adult life !!! Yes, I know I need to lose a lot more weight and tried many diets already, and my wife can tell you all that I don't eat much these days... mostly 2 pieces of toast for breakfast and not too much for dinner either. On the other hand, we all know that God's Rapture isn't too far off, and maybe the good living on vacation may have been our 'Last Supper', for all we know.... but I am leaving all that up to the Lord. As for ME, I will just be working on MY OWN faults and challenges. But I thought our short get away was very romantic, full of love and tenderness and fun for both of us ! Praise the Lord !
We went to visit my old, dear Mom and brought her some groceries, had a good time there, although I was acting goofy, trying to be funny. And I saw some different pictures from her family that I've never seen before, so she promised to ship a copy of them to me. Being legally blind in her mid-80's, Mom depends of my sister, Linda, for most of her help in getting around and taking care of business... PTL, too. I have ALWAYS OFFERED to help my Mom, but she has always decided to 'use' Linda for transportation, instead. So, we are all thankful to my sister, Linda M. Breuer, or Burlington, WI., who used to be the Nation President of the Autism Society, as one of her son's was stricken with that disorder in life. Her other 2 children have risen to lofty positions in life, after much hard work, including David, who graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, and shook hands with President G.W. Bush! I THINK that David always liked and respected me, being an old Combat Veteran from Vietnam: 68-70. But my young nephew, Joe Erwin, was my special favorite, Soldier, now home, in one piece, from Afghanistan, Artilleryman. [Cannon -cocker -- Vietnamese War --U.S. Army slang...] PTL. I kind of wish he would write or contact me..... email: tschuckman@aol.com
I want to pass on a bit of info that I feel is true and complete: the bad news about the Chinese dumping their contaminated fish and veggies on the U.S. Market for us to gag on, and our 'great and wonderful illegal alien in the WH who will do nothing to stop these crimes.... LOL. What a mean game of who's got who by the short hairs, and the bully's on the block. Well, we can boycott other countries and dirty producers of "food" with our money/ pocket books, believe it or not !! Go figure! I will be looking at the labels from now on, too !
Have a great, happy, blessed day!
Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman
I sure miss my motorcycle --- but I know now that I could not ride one if I had one, with my messed up legs and back..... God has chosen something else for me, and don't I know it finally, now more so than ever !! Thank God for my pretty wife and soul mate, Terri M. Schuckman!
Scary. I don’t think I will buy Green Giant frozen vegetables anymore.
This is pretty disgusting, but important!
This is sad that our country has relied on China for way to many things. It’s time we do start relying on our own country to supply our needs.
DO NOT EAT TILAPIA
Greetings and Salutations...
I read several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China. Also, I had just returned home from buying Publix & Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one. Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, "China".
I recently saw a Food inspector on TV... He said he had lived overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in.
It is enough to make you throw up. Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because
the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their Fish on Fish Farms are fed Raw sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth , put some food coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends.
Imported food we eat and the junk we buy
Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China , and so are most of Europe's Best.
Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye.
Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada, the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop).
China is the largest producer of garlic in the world U.S. is next.
Buy only local honey, much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.
Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam. If the
country of origin is not clearly marked beware.
If produce, ask an employee.
Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". I don't understand the lack of mandatory
labeling, especially the produce.The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store. I go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year.
Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of us.
How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U.S. or Canada?
FOR EXAMPLE
THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM
CHINA '. SO, FOR A FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE LIBERTY BRAND. GOLD BRAND OR THE
DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China.
ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA .
THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT.
MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.
Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken
s--t.
If you search the Internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e.g., growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from humans. Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries:
Vietnam,
China,
Philippines.
Check this out personally. I did. Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!
Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia.
Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in China !
While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands!
Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended!
Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA AND THE U.S. !
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar
trade imbalance resolved in our favor... fast! The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their North American exports. Then
they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness are worth it.
START NOW and don't stop.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent, and NOBODY can take us for granted.
