Will Heaven Be Heaven Without You? :: By Dennis Huebshman

Revelation 21:3-5: “And I heard a loud voice from the Throne saying, ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’ And He who was seated on the Throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’ Also, He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’”  (ESV – all emphasis is mine.)

From 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come…. For our sake, He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him, we might become the righteousness of God.”

These verses are assurance to all who will truly receive and accept Jesus as our eternal Lord and Savior. Our Heavenly Father promises that all unpleasant things we may have suffered on Earth will not even be a memory, and our eternal lives will be absolutely wonderful.

Also, there could be some extreme pain if some of our loved ones are not in Heaven, but the Father promises to make “all things new,” and there will be no “mourning, or crying, nor pain anymore.” It may sound cruel, but through the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father, our mindset will be for praising and glorifying Him because we can serve our Savior forever for the sacrifice He gave for us.

Luke 10:16: “The one who hears you hears Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me, and the one who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

Hebrews 6:4-6: “For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the Heavenly gift, and have shared the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and have them fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding Him up to contempt.”

This would describe those who had the opportunity to be saved, but for whatever reason, they did not actually become a part of the Savior’s flock. They stayed on the broad road leading to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14).

At some point, they may have seemed to accept the word of the Lord, but were more committed to worldly issues than to be committed to Our Savior. At the first sign of any conflict, they chose the world and Satan because they never truly had Jesus in their hearts as their Savior.

As much as we would like to push our loved ones to accept Jesus as their Savior, that is not the way of our Heavenly Father. He provides all the information we need and allows everyone to choose their eternity for themselves.

There is nothing wrong in asking for the Holy Spirit to provide incentive for others to consider the consequences they will face if Jesus is rejected. Satan actually goes further than this in trying to pull souls away from the Lord.

It is totally appropriate to pray for all loved ones on a daily basis. It only takes a few minutes, and the outcome could end up being an eternal blessing for them. After all, what would Heaven be like without them?

A song written by Dale Golden that He and Cheryl recorded addresses this. It’s titled, “Will Heaven Be Heaven Without You?”

1.) Soon I know I will stand in God’s long-promised land, where protection is on me from the start. But for your sake, my friend, before time’s to an end, there’s a question I must ask from the heart.

Ref.) Will Heaven be Heaven without you? If your race was fully run, would you make it through? When you stand at God’s Throne, will He say you’re one I know, or will Heaven be Heaven without you?

2.) Oh how I long to see what’s prepared there for me. When God’s angels come to call me away. But what you, friend, must do is promise you’ll be there too; please don’t miss our Great Homecoming Day. (ref)

3.) There’ll be no second chances when the Great Trumpet sounds; can you say without doubt, friend, that you are Heaven-bound? (ref)

Reference verse #2, Brother Dale went to be with the Lord in January of this year (2026). He was a personal friend of ours, and my wife and I do look forward to our future Homecoming Day.

In fact, after seeing our Lord and Savior Jesus for the first time, we look forward to being with all our loved ones, friends and acquaintances that will be there as well. We are absolutely positive that our celebration will be beyond anything we can imagine now.

On the other side, all who are destined for the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) will not celebrate at all. The lake of fire will be their eternal destination, and each soul there will suffer eternal condemnation. For those who joke about “partying with friends there,” they haven’t considered the terms “outer darkness,” “eternal punishment,” and “made for the devil and his angels.” There are no reduced sentences or “temporary” punishment. It’s Forever!

To avoid this, Romans 10:9-13 gives the steps to spending eternity with our Savior. For anyone who has not heard of the “A-B-Cs” of Salvation, they are located in these verses.

Admit or confess you are a sinner, as we all are (Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23). Believe that Jesus is our eternal Savior who came to Earth as a human and shed His pure, sinless blood at Calvary to conquer sin and death for all who will receive and accept His precious gift. All who Call on Jesus to be their eternal Savior will be saved.

We do not know the day or hour that this era will end (Matthew 24:36), but signs given by the Savior, Paul, Peter, John and others are here now as never before. God’s timing is not the same as ours, and the end could be a matter of hours, days, weeks, or even years. The point is to be ready as if it could happen today because this is entirely possible. To put off asking Jesus to be your Savior could be a terrible mistake. Once the Rapture starts, it will be over in “the twinkling of an eye,” as given in 1 Corinthians 15:52.

The seven-year tribulation will be worse than anything this earth has experienced so far. The best decision ever would be to become a part of the Savior’s precious flock and not be subject to the wrath/tribulation that is coming (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 and Revelation 3:10).

Today would not be too early to call out – Hope to see you at the Great Homecoming!

Inexcusable :: By The Gospelist

The Christian faith is the only faith that is based on an actual historical event.

That means it is the only faith based in reality (Judaism excluded).

There really was a man named Jesus that lived two thousand years ago who claimed to be God in human flesh.  And then He backed it up.

Anyone who denies that Jesus existed immediately identifies himself as a blatant liar who should never be taken seriously in rational debate.

There is more than sufficient evidence that Jesus existed.

The only mystery is why he was so hated.

If someone else were to proclaim that he was God in human flesh and that he was going to come on the clouds to judge the earth, most would say “that’s great!” then slowly move away and avoid him in the future.  They would warn other people to stay away from him because they would assume he was not playing with a full deck.

But no one would have the desire to kill him.

The answer to why Jesus was so hated was that everyone understood that He was not a nut.  The Pharisees understood it, those Romans who encountered him understood it, and the people who followed him understood it.

He was only a danger to the political power players of the day.

Jesus had a great deal of credibility.  He understood Scripture better than anyone else.  He had the ability to explain things that left the experts in the law dumbfounded.

He understood the law and the prophets and was able to point out that what we call the Old Testament was about Him.  Jesus fulfilled upwards of 300 prophecies, which is impossible to do unless one is the Son of God.

Psalm 22, which was written during the time of David, is more than sufficient evidence to prove that Jesus was who he said he was.  It describes Christ’s physical and psychological tortures of being rejected by his people and the pain of being hung on a cross.  Punishment by crucifixion was not a thing until the Romans came along hundreds of years after David.

This Psalm even goes so far as to foretell the account of the Roman soldiers casting lots for his clothing.

The Prophet Isaiah (Chapter 53), who lived hundreds of years before Jesus, could not have been clearer about who the Christ was and what he was going to do.  The Son of God was going to be God in his perfection, to serve as a sacrifice for our sins, and human so we could kill him.

The Prophet Daniel even pinpointed the exact time when he would arrive to proclaim his kingdom (Matthew 21:1-11) but be “cut off (Daniel 9:25-26).

There was no excuse for the Pharisees and the teachers of the law to be unaware of when Christ was born or when he was to come on the scene.  They claimed to worship God, but their hearts were far from him.

And there is no excuse for anyone living to this day to be unaware that Christ has died for our sins.  Those who do so, including those who rejected him at his first advent, are in complete rebellion against God.

Rejecting Christ is inexcusable.

Then there are the miracles that Jesus performed.  No one ever denied that Jesus performed miracles; even his enemies could not deny it.  When Jesus drove out demons, the Pharisees, who should have known better, accused him of doing it by the power of Beelzebub (Matthew 12:22-29).

No one denied that Jesus performed miracles because there were too many witnesses who knew that he did.

The fact that Jesus was the Son of God who came to die for our sins was beyond dispute then, and it is now.

When Christians tell unbelievers that Christ died for our sins, there are only two possible responses:

  1. What then should we do?
  2. I don’t care.

Those who say “I don’t care” remain under the wrath of God.  Their hearts grow more darkened as the Holy Spirit slowly withdraws from calling to them, and they suppress the truth of God by their wickedness (Romans 1:18).

In other words, they start lying and deceiving.

They lie about the things that God created by, for instance, claiming everything evolved over millions of years without an intelligent designer.  Since we cannot see God in our sinful flesh, they claim he does not exist and therefore did not create anything.

They then teach this nonsense to the next generation in hopes of wiping out any knowledge of God.

They continue to this day and dispute God’s word by making outrageous claims such as insisting someone can change their sex by fiat.

I used to think that deception was subtle and nuanced.  Satan is extremely intelligent and crafty, and in my youth, I thought I would have to outsmart him through diligent study if I were going to overcome his wiles.

The fact is, for those of us who have the Holy Spirit, Satan’s deceptions in this church age are extremely lame (he will get better at deception after the rapture).  In order to fall for his nonsense, one has to say “I don’t care” to the Gospel.  If this is your response, God will begin to turn you over to complete stupidity.

You will be ‘moroned’ by God.

The Gospel not only saves us from our sins but also serves as a light to shine upon the world.  Nothing can stand up to it.  Not atheism, not Islam, not Judaism, not Hinduism, not Roman Catholicism, not any false religion or false ideology.

The world hates the fact that we are saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus.

The Gospel was given to us by God, and it is divine wisdom.

The five words of the Gospel, that Christ died for our sins, reveal the essence of every false doctrine.  There really is no excuse for believing in foolishness unless you abandon these words.

The Gospel destroys every doctrine it is compared to.

If we look at how this world functions under Satan, we see that he easily deceives the witless but wealthy and powerful, evil Globalists.  Once deceived, these people use their wealth and power to create an army of deluded morons to help them deceive the world.  The evil Globalists have fallen for the temptation that they will receive the whole world if they just bow down and worship the devil.

The Globalists have ignored the warning of Jesus that man cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24).  They will love one and hate the other.

The evil Globalists are God haters, and they have fattened themselves for the day of slaughter.

Since this is the case, it should be no surprise that their minions are comprised of the Marxists and Muslims.  These people don’t like God either.

And they really hate his Gospel.

They believe that if they can destroy the Gospel, they can then pervert the next generation until the Gospel is removed from the earth.  The world would then be at their mercy rather than God’s.

They have had incredible success in Great Britain.

These people are relentless because their lives are meaningless without their wickedness and deception.

Their behavior is inexcusable because they willingly suppress the truth in their wickedness.

Recently, Tucker Carlson, who is viewed as a dhimmi by his Muslim benefactors, chastised patriotic Americans for making fun of the Islamic religion.  This is a religion that tells its adherents that they will get seventy-two virgins if they die while trying to murder people who reject their religion.

Defending a silly, murderous religion against the Truth of Christ is inexcusable.

The Muslims are mindless pagans who have traded a God who sent His only Son to die for our sins for a false god who has a virgin factory.  This god is so powerless that he cannot wipe out the nation of Israel, even though his adherents outnumber them 50-1, after numerous attempts at trying.

Tucker and others who were once considered conservative have called Islam a “great religion.”

This proclamation is inexcusable.

No decent human being can take this religion seriously unless its adherents stick a gun in your face.

Or pay you off.

No one should take Tucker Carlson or his fellow Islamist supporters seriously either.  It won’t be long before he and his other anti-Israel buddies start decrying Jewish rape gangs and rape dogs.

Those who are anti-Israel in the media should be viewed as paid shills for the Muslim Brotherhood.

This, too, is inexcusable.

The frightening thing is the problems in the West will soon be much worse than what Israel is experiencing at the hands of the Muslims.  In fact, it is highly likely that God will visit the same terrors upon Western anti-Israel Gentiles that the Muslims have visited on the Jews for the last fourteen hundred years.

This is happening now in Europe.

As the faith of the West wanes, the Marxists and the Muslims will soon have the power to censor the Gospel in an effort to put an end to its proclamation.  They will do this through media control, persecution, imprisonment and murder of Christians and conservatives.

If a Democrat wins in 2028, a censorship regime will quickly be set up worldwide.  We will soon find out that the people who were calling us ‘Nazis’ and ‘Fascists’ were merely engaging in projection.

The only ‘gospel’ that will be proclaimed will be by people like James Talarico.

However, they will not be successful at removing the real Gospel from the world.

God will take care of that himself.
