Charles Taze Russell -- JW Founder in Hell

Rodolfo Acevedo Hernandez is an evangelist preacher from the Dominican Republic, who fasted and prayed for eight days, because he didn’t want to remain in the spiritual condition he was in. During that time, the Lord gave him a revelation of heaven and hell. In that revelation, the Lord showed him a certain man (pictured left) in torment in hell. In his Testimony of Heaven and Hell and the Condition of Today’s Church, (see this video), Rodolfo said:

“We continued walking and the Lord showed me a white man whose hands were stretched out. And the surprising thing about this man is that he had a very fine sword inside his tongue, and this sword crossed through his head and was coming out of his body. His feet were grabbed by chains, and his back was full of blades set in different positions in a way that no matter how he moved he would be cut. When I saw this man in this condition, I told Jesus, ‘Lord, please help him. Do something, Lord Jesus. Look at the horrendous pain that this man is going through.’ 

The Lord asked me if I know who this man is. ‘No, Lord,’ I said. I saw how the knives cut through his skin and then through the bones and how they came out of his body. The man only screamed in agony. The Lord told me, ‘Judgment against this man has been established. Now I am going to tell you the identity of this man. Because of that revelation,’ the Lord said, ‘you will have to run from city to city, because this will cause you a great persecution. But I will be with you.’ He went on to say, ‘Rodolfo, this man is Charles T. Russell.’ I said, ‘Lord, who is he?’ The Lord said, ‘That this man was the founder of the Jehovah Witnesses.’ I pleaded, ‘Lord, please help him.’ And the Lord said, ‘No, Rodolfo.’ 

And as the Lord moved his hands, immediately I saw that many souls were falling into hell in every way possible. They were falling headfirst, feet first, stomach first, etc. 

‘Rodolfo, for that cursed man all these souls are entering into hell. This man taught that God was only a God of love. The Bible says that God is a consuming fire. This man Charles Russell took the word “hell” from the Bible, and he took out all the words Sheol and Abaddon. Also he denied the deity of Jesus Christ, and also denied the deity of the Holy Spirit, and he put only the word Jehovah in the Bible. He took out Jesus and the Holy Spirit. For this cursed man, all these souls are falling into hell’ (Revelation 22: 18-19). Then the Lord said, ‘I curse that man.’ 

Please, Jehovah Witness that is listening to me at this moment. I don't want to offend you. Get out of that sect, and come to Jesus quickly. I don't hate you, and I don't hate your religion either, but you are in a farce. Come to Jesus. He is waiting for you with open hands. Charles Russell is in hell, because he taught lies. Don't follow his lies. 

When we left this place, these prison doors closed and caught fire, and this man Charles Taze Russell cried and screamed and cursed Jesus repeatedly, because Jesus said, ‘The  judgment has been set for this man.'"

END OF TESTIMONY BY RODOLFO ACEVEDO HERNANDEZ

---------------------

Closing Words
I would like to just add that although the Jehovah's Witness leadership honors Charles Taze Russell, they disown him as their founder. However, the historical facts prove that he was indeed the founder of what is now known as the Bible Student movement, and the founder of Zion's Watchtower Tract Society, which was later renamed the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, from which the Jehovah's Witnesses came forth, But perhaps the reason they won't admit that he is the founder of their religion is that he is such an embarrassment to them, since he has been proven in so many ways to have been a fraud and a false prophet. I believe that the bad fruit that is evidenced in this religious group is a direct result of the bad character of its founder, based on the principle of sowing and reaping.  

Space does not permit us to go into all of the bad fruit in his life. You can read about this all over the internet. Wikipedia has an article on him that you can read, if you are interested. But his group was strongly influenced by the writings of two Millerite Adventist ministers, which explains why his false teachings have so much in common with the false teachings of Ellen G. White's Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church that she founded, since she also had Millerite roots like Russell. 

Russell perjured himself in a court of law, by lying under oath several times and later retracting his claims on each of the lies upon cross examination. For example, he falsely claimed to have studied the original Greek language that the New Testament Bible was written in. but when he was later asked to identify some letters of the Greek alphabet, he could not do so, and had to admit he hadn't studied Greek. 

He was accused by a certain group of people of being a dictatorial leader, as well as a shrewd businessman who appeared eager to collect funds from the selling of books. His early Watchtower publications prominently displayed on the upper left-hand corner the cross and crown symbol of the Knights Templar, which is actually a Masonic symbol. The same symbol can be found at the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

He also made numerous false date predictions regarding various end time events that never came to pass. For example, he taught that Christ had already returned invisibly in 1874, and that 1914 would mark the end of a harvest period and usher in Armageddon. 

I realize that none of this would matter to most Jehovah's Witnesses, but I believe it should give most thinking people cause for pause and reconsideration before listening to Jehovah's Witnesses or having anything to do with that cult. 

Jesus said that we would know false prophets by their fruit, and that is certainly the case with Russell. The Lord said:

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. (Mat 7:15-20)

In addition to the moral issues in Russell's life, his teachings were another type of bad fruit by which you can recognize that he was a false teacher. I have covered several of his false teachings in my related article called Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Cult? In it I explain his denial of the true doctrine of the Holy Trinity, the deity of Christ, hell, the bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead, and the general bodily resurrection of all the dead, as well as his denial of the power of the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read that article to learn more about his many false teachings, so that you will hopefully avoid this cult and help others do so as well.

T.B. Joshua is Suffering in Hell Now!

This is something I feel led to share about the so-called prophet T.B. Joshua. the pastor of "The Synagogue, Church of All Nations" (SCOAN) in Nigeria. You may not have heard of him, but he is pretty famous, and his followers across Africa esteem him very highly as one of the great preachers of our time. He was a prosperity preacher with his own Emmanuel TV channel, who operated in signs and wonders, but sadly he was secretly doing things to the people in his church that were ungodly. I had seen at least one documentary about these abominations that were happening in his church, which was based on whistleblower testimonies that were horrendous. It was essentially a cult in the truest sense of the word.

I had actually mentioned him in two of my articles, calling him out. I'll link to those at the bottom. So I was not unaware of some of the atrocities he had committed.  Nor was I ignorant to the fact that he was on course to end up in hell unless he would have repented. But because he did such a great job deceiving the people, those who follow him don't believe any bad reports about him, rather they would believe that he was a mighty man of God. For example, one viewer of the video below commented with a verse from Matthew 19 to sum up their feelings: "When his disciples heard this they said, 'Who then can be saved?'"

I didn't even realize that he had died this year at age 57. It was quite sudden and unexpected.

In this video that premiered Jun 19th, someone shares how they saw him in hell, where Jesus took them to see this man. Now he is ready to repent, but it's too late. Please watch the short video, and don't assume that I have already covered everything in written form in this post, because I have not. I have only provided an introduction to the subject, but the video contains more and different information that you need to hear.

Closing Words

In closing, I would like to conclude with some thoughts from someone I know who is from Nigeria. T.B. Joshua misled the masses across Africa through the false miracles that he performed, and he is still able to bewitch them even now after he has died. But true, Spirit-filled believers were and are able to discern that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is a tragedy that he died without publicly repenting of his sins, but we can be sure that God gave him plenty of time to do so.

Author's note: The two articles, in which I had previously mentioned T.B. Joshua years ago, were What's Wrong with the Prosperity Gospel? and Ibrahim's Experience in Hell.

Forty Days in Heaven and Hell

This is the testimony of an Indonesian lady, called Elisabeth Widyawati Herman, which has been translated from Indonesian into English by a woman named Elma Larsen, so that many more could be blessed by her testimony. 

In 2001, when Elisabeth was twenty years old, the Lord Jesus Christ personally took her to see heaven & hell during a period of forty days and forty nights. 

Elisabeth initially had an experience at an intercessory prayer meeting at church, whereby the Holy Spirit came upon her, and she began speaking in tongues. Afterward she realized that she could no longer speak in her native Indonesian language, but only in tongues, which continued for the entire forty days. She also discovered that she was unable to eat food, so she fasted for the entire duration of this experience. Meanwhile the Lord continued to show her hell and heaven, and the revelation she received was truly amazing.

Some of the highlights of it include the following:

  • She saw the map of hell and the shape of it, which amazingly corresponds to the shape of a crucified man. 
  • People enter into hell through the section that corresponds to the mouth. As it says in the prophet Isaiah: "Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself and opened its mouth beyond measure; their glory and their multitude and their pomp, and he who is jubilant, shall descend into it." (Is 5:14, KJV).
  • The people in hell are being punished in different locations there, depending on whether they were a believer or non believer, and what kind of sinful lifestyle they practiced during their earthly life.
  • She actually saw that there were preachers of the gospel there in hell, because they didn't practice what they preached.
  • The Lord holds each one of us responsible for controlling the use of our bodies and all their parts.
  • In heaven she met King David, and you will be amazed at his comment as to why he made it into heaven. 
  • She also met the apostle John in heaven, who gave her advice for all of us on our relationship with the Lord, which is right in line with the kind of relationship he had with the Lord during his earthly life, as told to us in the Bible (Jn 13:23; Rev 1:10).
  • She met Paul the apostle, who gave her a word of encouragement to remember in our trials and hardships, which I believe you will appreciate. It was essentially what he wrote to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 10:13.
  • She saw the Lord's palace and described what it was like seeing the Father on His throne.
  • She saw the twelve, colorful foundations decorated with precious stones, which are spoken about in Revelation 21:19-20.
  • She described the angels and some of the differences between the worship angels and the warrior ones.
  • She saw a warehouse in heaven containing spare body parts with people's names on them that were simply there for the asking, if the people who needed them would only ask and believe. But most never bother to ask.
  • She says that there are separate rewards given to the saints for each thing that they do for the Lord, no matter what it is.
  • She said that what matters in the end is not how much you serve the Lord, but the quality of your service, which is evidenced by the heart and attitude with which you do it. Whatever we do, we should do it as unto the Lord, for the glory of God, in the name of Jesus, and with love. Then even if all you can do is pray, you will be rewarded for praying. If all you can do is care for the children or do housekeeping chores, you will receive a reward for it, if is done in loving service to the Lord.
I have tried not to give you too much detail about her revelation, because you really need to just watch it and listen to her give the testimony herself. You are in for a real treat!

Video


You may watch the video here on this blog, or click here to watch on Youtube Elisabeth's testimony on both Heaven & Hell, translated into English

Translator Elma Larsen posted the following statement in the description box of the video containing her English voiceover of the testimony, which is worth reposting here:

"To avoid confusion among Christians, below is an extract taken from Elisabeth's 40-day dairy. This is what the LORD JESUS said to her on day 39:"

"All who enter the Kingdom of Heaven enter only by the grace I give. When people believe in ME, that person has the right to enter into MY Kingdom. But I judge not from the first moment they made the decision in their life to repent and believe in ME. I judge the end of their life whether they still believe in ME and loves ME. Therefore, it is necessary to be guided by the HOLY SPIRIT in living their life – so that they are able to do MY every will. There are many children of the LORD who, in the middle of their lives, cease to trust ME, leaving ME, exchanging the salvation they received only for the sake of wealth, honour, pleasure which are all temporary in the world." 

"It is your duty and the duty of MY children, MY servants who believe in ME to bring MY children who have long forsaken ME to return to ME, and also bringing those who do not believe in ME to repent and believe in ME before MY second coming."

Another helpful resource for you is Elisabeth's DIARY covering Day 1 - 40 (a must read!), translated into English (see here for PDF download)

What a treasure this video and diary are. I hope you will take the time to view the video and read the diary. Then take it to heart, repent wherever necessary, and live your life according to the Word of God. If you do not know the Lord, then you will perish unless you repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Please see the final section at the end of this blog for guidance on giving your life to the Lord and coming to know Him.

Mathematician Goes To Hell Then Meets God

This is a truly amazing story of a mathematician and computer scientist-engineer, named Randall Rathbun. He got saved at age eighteen during a revival in the Lutheran church, in which God had visited them and showed them about being born again. But later on while serving as a worship leader in his local church, he was living a double life. He was walking in sin and resisting the Holy Spirit's conviction about it. He came to a point of desperation that led to a tragic car crash one day. That was when he found himself descending into hell.

In this interview, he tells about his experience and what hell was like. He also discusses how the Lord mercifully pulled him out of hell and showed him heaven, and gave him a chance to come back and warn others. Don't miss this powerful testimony of God's mercy and love, told only as the man who experienced it could tell it.

Sakhile's First Trip to Heaven

This is the testimony of a young man from South Africa named Sakhile, who was given a trip to heaven by the Lord in 2015 when he was fifteen. There he saw things that are inexpressible and full of glory. He saw mountains of various sizes, some of which reached to the sky. He saw trees of various colors that we have here on earth, and even colors we don't have on earth. He saw beautiful flowers that speak. All the animals that we have here on earth are found in heaven, except that in heaven they are all harmless. 

He saw holy angels, some that we the size of men, others the size of trees, and some the size of mountains, as well as ones as big or bigger than the earth. They were all flying to and fro busily. They came to him singing and then said to him, "Welcome! Welcome!" And they were all smiling.

He saw the Holy City, which was made of gold, glass and diamonds, and he entered through its tall, golden gates. He walked on the streets of gold inside the Holy City. He met Jesus there, who had nail holes in his hands and feet and was wearing a white robe with brown sandals and a purple sash around His chest.

The Lord showed him the River of Life that was so pure and clear that you feel thirsty just looking at it. The Lord told him to wash his face with its water, which he did by splashing some of the water on his face with his hands. His face dried off immediately afterward without the use of a towel. Then the Lord gave him a mirror to look at himself, and he saw that his face was very bright without any marks at all, and his eyes were very bright. Everyone in heaven looks new, and nobody has wrinkles, glasses, gray hair, or sickness. They all look as if they are in their twenties and not more than thirty years old. Even the Lord Jesus Himself looked like He was in His twenties or at the most thirty.

The Lord took him to a place where he saw thousands of angels all gathered together in one place like a great choir. As soon as he and the Lord arrived, the music began playing. He did not see any instruments, but the music was everywhere and he could hear all the instruments very clearly right in his ears. The angels' voices were amazingly beautiful as they sang. He was led to sing along with them and he was given a beautiful voice to sing with. In fact, he was given several voices to sing with, and he sang for what seemed like forever.

At the end of his trip to heaven, the Lord led him to the gates of the city and told him he needed to go back to the earth and tell everyone what he saw. He was commanded to tell everyone, both those who believe and those who do not believe. He was told that when he speaks to anyone about it, if they do not believe him, then he should go on to the next person. He was told that this message is not for one particular church, but for all the churches. 

Then he told the Lord that he wasn't going back to the earth, but that he was going to remain there in heaven, so the Lord asked him why. He replied that on earth there is suffering, sickness, and pain, and he was tired of that. But the Lord told him in a very gentle voice that he had a mission to fulfill for God back on earth and when his work is finished, then the Lord will take him back up to heaven forever. He agreed to go back to earth, and as he walked toward the gates, they opened for him. As he walked through, he turned to wave at the Lord and the angels. When he turned to leave, and then he awoke back into his body on earth.

There is so much more to this glorious testimony that you should hear. This young man is genuine and speaks so articulately that you are sure to understand him as long as you understand English. He presents the whole experience in such a clear, concise way that you will enjoy every minute of it. I hope you will take time to watch it, because you won't regret it if you do. Here is the link as well as the video itself below:

Video



Once you have watched it, you need to prepare yourself to go there, too. This place is not just for Sakhile but for all who will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He wanted Sakhile to tell everyone, and you are one of those the Lord wanted him to tell. The reason the Lord wanted Sakhile to tell you is that the Lord wants you to go there, too. He does not want you to perish but have everlasting life.

The way you prepare yourself for heaven is first to repent of all your sins, stop doing the things of the world, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that He died for your sins to pay the price and set you free; and believe that God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Surrender your whole life to Him. Ask Him to come and live inside your heart and be your Lord and Savior. Make a commitment to follow and serve Him all the days of your life. Ask Him to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Then turn from iniquity and live a righteous, holy life for Him. Soon He will come back for all His saints and take us up to be with Him forever in heaven. 

I hope this has helped to wake you up and remind you of the reality of heaven and our need to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior if we want to make it to that glorious place.

Sakhile Tells the Truth About Hell

Today I want to share with you the testimony of a young man named Sakhile from South Africa, regarding the time the Lord Jesus showed him hell. He saw himself walking on a cloud and Jesus came to him and asked him if he would like to see another place. Sakhile gladly accepted the invitation, thinking he was going to see another part of heaven, because previously the Lord had shown him heaven. He did not know the Lord was about to show him hell.

So the Lord introduced him to an angel that was with him, which was the angel Gabriel, who had gold hair and blue eyes. With Jesus on one side of him and Gabriel on the other side of him, they took his hand. An opening appeared in front of them and they went into it. Within about five seconds after they entered the opening, they were in hell. It was extremely dark, but since Jesus and Gabriel were with him, there was some light around them. 

While he was in hell, he saw that very scary scorpions, snakes, and spiders were crawling on the ground. They were so scary that he wished he could float above the ground to avoid coming into contact with them. But when he looked down and saw the feet of Jesus and Gabriel, he knew those creatures wouldn't dare to come near their feet, so he felt safe.

He saw people in cages, and demons were torturing them. He could hear their bones breaking as the demons crushed them and tormented them. The people were screaming and crying, but there were no tears. In hell there are no tears, because it is a very dry place where there is no water. The people wish for water, but there is not one drop of water there.

Some people called out to Sakhile asking him to get them out of there. Jesus told him that in hell, everyone wishes they could go back to earth to fix their situation, so they wouldn't have to go back to hell, but they cannot. Although Jesus normally smiles a lot, in hell He didn't smile. He looked sad and was even crying. He asked Sakhile to tell everyone about this place once he would come back to the earth, so that people wouldn't go to this place.

Below you will find the video of Sakhile's testimony, which is also at this link.

Video


I hope you will take time to watch this important video and heed the warnings in it. Hell is real! It's a terrible place, which was not created for people but for the devil and his angels. It is more scary than any scary movie you have ever seen. And worst of all it lasts forever. Once you enter hell after you die, there is no way out whatsoever.

If you care about your soul, then please repent of all your sins right now and put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you. He came from heaven to earth, died on the cross for you, shed His sinless blood and paid the price for all your sins. He rose again on the third day and He's alive forever more. He loves you with an everlasting love and doesn't want you to go to hell, so please don't go there. It's up to you whether you go there, which is where we all deserve to go, or accept the free gift of salvation that Jesus Christ is offering you.

Eternal Places Prepared by God

I'd like to tell you about the places that God has prepared, and the preparation that is needed to ensure we end up in the right place.

Places Prepared by the Father
Jesus taught that the places immediately on His right and left in heaven were prepared by His Father.

Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father." (Mat 20:23, NIV)

Places Prepared by the Son
Just as there are places prepared by the Father, there are places prepared by Jesus.

Jesus said, "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also." (Joh 14:2-3, MKJV)

Jesus taught that He went to heaven to prepare a place for us there.  In this instance, the place for us that He was referring to was a mansion or dwelling place.

He said that He has prepared the kingdom of heaven for His sheep since the creation of the world.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'" (Mat 25:34).

It's important to note that God prepared His kingdom for the righteous since the world was created. This earth is just a temporary testing ground, but the kingdom of heaven is eternal.

The apostle wrote to the Hebrews that God has prepared a city for all who live by faith in Him.

"Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." (Heb 11:16)

Place prepared for the devil and his angels
Just as there are places prepared for the saints in heaven, there is a place prepared for the devil and his angels. In that place there is everlasting fire.

"Then He also shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." (Mat 25:41).

Jesus taught that the wicked will go to the same place that is prepared for the devil and his angels. It was not meant for humans but for the devil and the demons. Yet when people follow satan, they must go to the same place where he goes, which is into eternal hell fire.

"And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev 20:10)

Our Preparation for Heaven
Even we ourselves must prepare for the Lord. The great multitude in heaven will one day shout:

"Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." (Rev 19:7)

The Bride of Christ must make herself ready, in other words she must prepare. Our preparation includes being born again, baptized with the Holy Spirit, baptized with fire, repenting, separating ourselves from the world, washing our robes in the blood of the Lamb and making them white, purifying ourselves, praying, being in the Word, doing the Father's will, as well as keeping our flasks full of oil and our lamps burning for the Lord.

The Consequences of Failing to Prepare Ourselves
The Lord also warned about the terrible consequences of failing to prepare.

"And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes." (Luk 12:47, NASB)

Notice He said that the unworthy slave did not prepare or act in accord with his Master's will. Therefore this is what the Master of that slave will do:

"The master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers." (Luk 12:46, NASB)

Closing Words
So the Lord spoke of places prepared by His Father, such as the thrones at his right and left hand. He also spoke of places that He was going to prepare for us in heaven, which are mansions or dwelling places. We know that God has prepared a heavenly city for those who walk by faith.  He has prepared the kingdom of heaven since the creation of the world for the righteous whom He has blessed.

The Lord said that everlasting fire is prepared for the devil and his angels, where they, as well as all the unrighteous, will be thrown. Indeed, even the Master's servants who know His will and do not act in accordance with it will be thrown into that terrible place. According to Scripture, ultimately death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire, along with the devil, the beast, and the false prophet.

I trust that this study has encouraged you to prepare yourself so that you end up in the right place.  No matter which place you go to, that is where you will all throughout eternity. Please take this seriously, since your eternal destination is at stake.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.
