Secrets from Beyond The Grave

sufferings of Christ as His "sweat became like great drops of blood" (Luke 22:44), and to the story of two men and their life-after-death experiences (Luke 16:19-31). I have debated with individuals who do not believe in the afterlife and who especially doubt the existence of a place called hell . They claim the story Luke recorded was simply a parable told by Christ to illustrate a spiritual point. However, the identifying marks found in the parables of Christ are all missing in this story. In Christ's day there were two main religious groups that often opposed His teaching: the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The Pharisees believed in the body, soul, and spirit, and that the spirit departed the physical body at death. The Sadducees, however, did not believe in the eternal spirit within a man or in the departure of the human spirit from the body at death. Thus, this account in Luke 16, spoken by Christ and recorded by Doctor Luke, was a direct blow to the unbelieving Sadducees. A parable is a story that holds another hidden meaning within the story. Christ's parables were stories with other interpretations within the stories. For example, the wheat and tares are the children of the kingdom and the children of Satan (Matt. 13). The parable of the sower reveals the four ways men respond to the gospel message (Mark 4). In parables, Christ never gave specific names, yet in this account He names Lazarus, Abraham, and Moses. Before Christ's crucifixion, both the righteous and unrighteous went into lower chambers under the mountains, and there was a great chasm between the upper level where the righteous dwelt (Abraham's bosom) and the lower chambers called hell (Luke 16:22-31). If for some reason you have never read the account of the death of these two men and their lives beyond the grave, then this book will explain the afterlife in great detail. If you have read or heard that this story is not literal but only a parable, I will give you ample information to prove that the afterlife does indeed exist. If you do believe in two worlds beyond this one world, and if you desire more insight into what you will encounter seconds after departing this life, then this book will answer your questions. We who are presently living will eventually pass from this life, "as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). When we depart from this shell of clay, there are only two locations where our eternal spirit and soul will remain until the resurrection and Judgment Day. It is this unseen world of departed souls that I want to explore with you. In one location, the dead are praying you will never come there. In the other location, there is a High Priest making intercession for you that you will finish your journey and wake up in the paradise of God. You will choose your destiny.
