23 Minutes In Hell Podcast

This episode explores the question: When did Satan fall from heaven? Looking at six key Bible passages—including Luke 10:18, John 12:31, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, and  Revelation 12, we examine different interpretations offered by Bible teachers and major commentaries. Some believe that Jesus’ statement, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven,” refers to Satan’s defeat at the Cross. Others see it as a reference to his original rebellion near the beginning of creation, while some interpret it as a future event connected to the Tribulation period. By comparing these passages and commentary insights, we consider how Satan’s fall may involve multiple stages. The original rebellion before the Garden of Eden, a decisive defeat through Christ’s work at the Cross, and a final expulsion from heaven in the future. While Scripture provides clues, the exact timing remains debated. This study encourages believers to search the Scriptures carefully, recognizing that some biblical mysteries invite deeper study and humility as we continue seeking understanding.

What does the Bible mean by the “Host of Heaven?" In this episode, we explore the seven different biblical words translated as “host,” found in both the Old and New Testaments. While the term often refers to the vast heavenly army of angels serving God, it can also describe the stars and planets, earthly military forces, or even a person who shows hospitality. From Genesis to the New Testament, the Bible uses this word in several ways that reveal God’s power, authority, and the structure of both the spiritual and physical realms.

In this episode, we examine the origins and claims of the so-called gap theory, which was developed to support an old earth perspective and the idea of evolution requiring millions or billions of years. Advocates argue that there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis chapter 1:2, highlighting the phrase “and the earth was without form and void.” They suggest that God would not create the earth empty and uninhabitable, and therefore propose a previous world existing before the creation of Adam—an alleged sin-filled world ruled by Satan that God later destroyed, leaving the earth “without form and void.” However, when we look to the authority of Scripture, we find no evidence of a devil, sin, humanity, bloodshed, or death prior to the six literal days of creation. According to the biblical account, everything was created within those six days, encompassing the entirety of earth’s history. Revelation 22:19 warns not to add to or take away from the Word of God. The discussion of a gap theory challenges Scripture and contradicts the plain meaning of the biblical text. Listen as Bill and Annette share ten Biblical points that clearly disprove the gap theory in this new podcast episode.

In this podcast episode, we examine five key reasons for Jesus Christ’s return to earth: The Bible emphasizes this promise repeatedly, with more than 1,800 references and 21 direct mentions from Jesus Himself. He will return as King to judge the nations, make all things right, and establish His righteous rule. He will come to Israel to deliver and restore her, setting up His Messianic Kingdom. Scripture also promises a new heaven and a new earth, where the curse will be removed and God’s purposes fully realized. His return will be visible to the entire world—He first came as a sacrificial Lamb, but He will come again in glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Though some question the delay, the Bible reminds us that God’s judgment is certain, and as we study Scripture and observe the signs, it is clear that His coming is near. Listen as Bill and Annette share in-depth biblical insight about the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Many Christians are praying and believing for revival. Moves of God are occurring around the world, especially in some of the most persecuted countries. Underground churches are thriving in some nations, most with a dear cost – either threat of imprisonment or death. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, we witnessed an explosive awakening among the younger generation turning to God. It is encouraging to see many young people buying Bibles, going to church, and seeking the Lord. Sadly, we have also witnessed numerous moral failures from prominent ministers, pastors and leaders within the Church. We have witnessed unprecedented confusion and a great departure from biblical, moral and traditional family. Society at large has departed from the living God. There has been a great departure from Truth. The spiritual warfare is very real on every level. Listen as Bill and Annette delve deeper into this topic, exposing the root problem in the church, and the remedy for the days we are living in.

Is Jesus really God? Yes, absolutely! We’ll discuss a few reasons why He is God, but first - have you noticed the recent uptick in attacks against the Lord Jesus Christ? Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon’s recent arrest for his role in the disruption of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota has caused his false claim about Jesus Christ from 2020 to resurface. In the CBN News article dated July 10, 2020 Don Lemon was quoted as saying, “Here’s the thing.” Lemon told fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who is Catholic. "Jesus Christ — if that’s who you believe in, Jesus Christ — admittedly was not perfect when He was here on this earth.” This is a false statement. There is overwhelming proof of the existence of Jesus, His life, death and resurrection, and His identity. He said He and the Father are One. He also lived a sinless life.  If a person chooses to deny Jesus Christ, it is not because that person doesn't have enough evidence. It is because the person ignores the truth and walks in blindness. Learn more as Bill and Annette share what Jesus said, what He did, and how we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is God!

"Annihilationism is the belief that those who die apart from saving faith in Jesus Christ will be ultimately destroyed. Thus, annihilationists reject the historic view of hell as conscious, endless punishment.” - Dr. Christopher W. Morgan Hell is eternal, and people do exist there. To remove hell from existence takes away the urgency to witness, the desire to live righteously and obey God, and the respect and fear of Almighty God. Learn more in this episode with Bill and Annette about why hell is eternal and many people are headed there.

Every one of us is accountable to the Creator, no matter where we live, how we were raised, or what we were taught. Many people will say they just can’t believe in one God who created all things. They even scoff at the idea. People can believe if they choose but it’s their stubborn pride and arrogance that keep them from God. Man knows better, but purposely pushes God away.

Life is one continuous test. In Job 7:18 it reads, "Thou visits man every morning and try him every moment."    What is the reason for these tests? They reveal our hearts to God. But what is God looking for in our hearts? Learn more with Bill and Annette in this new episode.

Let us make man in our image. - Genesis 1:26  If we are made in the image of God, and God is eternal, then so are we. The false belief that says people who die without knowing Jesus merely cease to exist after death is called Annihilationism.  This annihilationism teaching is unbiblical. It underestimates the seriousness of sin, belittles the work of the cross, and lessens the supreme holiness of God.     Listen as Bill and Annette share biblical insight on this topic.

The new year is the perfect time for new beginnings. But before we can move forward with God, we must obey this verse in Philippians 3:13-14: “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” If you are under condemnation, depressed and discouraged about past sin, it’s like saying, “the blood of Jesus isn’t enough to give me a fresh start.” Listen as Bill and Annette share encouragement for the new year.

Some say, "Bill, why would God take you to hell, and not others who might get saved by seeing it?" First of all, I wasn't condemned to hell. I was already saved, I had been a born again Christian for 28 years at that point. This was a vision God gave me in order to let people know there is an eternal hell, since many churches won't teach about hell. In addition, God wouldn't show a person hell to save them. We must be saved by grace through faith, and not by sight. There would be no faith required to get saved if you could see first where you will go if you don’t repent. To see it you would now know the Bible is true, and hell exists. God requires faith in believing, and seeing hell would void the need for faith.

The world is confused about sin. However, the Bible instructs the Christian to clearly discern what is right and wrong, what is good and what is evil, and what is considered sin. In addition, if we are truly born again, we have a new heart and spirit within us making us feel guilty when we sin! Did you know that only one out of every seven—or about 14%—of self-described Christians have a core theology of sin that is biblically accurate? Learn more on the topic of sin, as explained in the Bible, in today's podcast with Bill and Annette.

We were flying back to California after a ministry trip and were seated next to a nicely dressed woman. We began talking and in the conversation she mentioned she was a nurse. She was heading to a nurse’s conference in Los Angeles. As we continued conversation, she asked what I do. I told her we teach the Bible. She then asked, what specifically do we teach. I told her we teach on who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Hear more about our conversation in today's podcast with Bill and Annette.

Did you know the Bible says that faith is a requirement? For the Christian, learning to walk by faith is critical to growth and revelation. While living in these last days, we must especially understand how to develop and exercise our faith in God’s Word when faced with the variety of trials and situations we all encounter throughout our lives. We need faith to forgive others, faith to trust God for wisdom and direction, faith for healing, faith for our finances, faith for navigating relationships, and faith to overcome any obstacle. We have each been given the same amount or same measure of faith. However, it is up to us to develop it. Learn more in today's podcast with Bill and Annette.

Have you ever been under so much pressure you feel completely overwhelmed? Trials and  circumstances can take a toll on us if we allow them to. It's how we respond to difficulties that makes the difference because trials can actually bring out the best in us...or the worst. When we are under pressure or facing challenges, one of the first things to determine is whether the trial was caused from our poor decisions, from the devil, or was it a test from God. Listen as Bill and Annette focus on trials caused by our poor decisions and our lack of knowledge in this podcast episode.

There are many people who think the wicked are those like the Hitler’s of the world, the murderers, and the rapists. These people are indeed wicked however, in God’s eyes, all who reject Jesus Christ are considered wicked, or unrighteous. A truly righteous person (or Christian) obeys God’s commands. They have a heart that wants to obey God. Even when they sin, they repent and ask God’s forgiveness. Listen as Bill and Annette give the biblical definition of a wicked person...and share how all have been given the opportunity to be made righteous.

Most of us experience some level of peace in this life. In fact, people will go to great lengths trying to find peace. But when a person dies without Jesus Christ, they will exist in a place called hell. Hell is absent of all peace and it’s for all eternity. To have no peace is to have no rest. After a short time, a person becomes irritable and frustrated. With no peace, a person’s mind is tormented. In hell, there is never any rest from the screams, the fear, the thirst, the lack of breath, the heat, the isolation from people, and the hopelessness. Listen as Bill and Annette discuss the reality of an existence absent of peace.

There are ten different words, or phrases used to represent hell, and each has their separate meaning and place. Sheol, Hades, and the Pit all represent the place where people exist currently. Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, and outer darkness represent the future hell where people will go after the Great White Throne Judgment Day. Satan and most likely his demons with him are cast into the lake of fire as it says in Revelation. The words Abyss, Abyssos, Bottomless Pit, and Tartarus each represent where demons are currently assigned, each area perhaps having certain fallen angels and demons. Understand more about these words and places which refer to hell, as Bill and Annette biblically explain each.
