And who are they? (I pointed to a long line-up stretching as far as the eye could see.)

Those are the ones who thought they could get into Heaven by faith alone. They lived the life of the world and didn’t take the time to get to know God as their loving Father. They were certain that all they needed was “faith” because that’s what their pastors told them. But then they showed by living the life of the world and remaining strangers to God that they didn’t have any faith at all, none whatsoever. It was all just talk.

And those ones over there? (I pointed to another seemingly endless line.)

They thought they could work their way into Heaven. They thought that if they read the Bible and went to church and gave money to charity and volunteered for church activities and missionary work, that was enough. They didn’t spend any time getting to know God as their Father, even though they knew they needed to know him. They just kept busy doing church things.

But if they knew they had to know God as their Father, why didn’t they do it? What stopped them?

They weren’t born-again. You can know about God if you’re not born-again, but you can’t know God as your Father and have a close loving relationship with him unless you’re born-again. You don’t even want to know God personally if you’re not born-again, because you’re still full of unrepented sin. It’s your sin that keeps you from wanting to get close to God and it’s your sin that will keep you out of Heaven.

And what about those ones over there? They look miserable!

They are miserable. Those are the souls who were told they could believe in anything they wanted, as long as they were a good person. They treated spirituality like it was a cafeteria and they could take a little bit from this belief system and a little bit from that, whatever they were hungry for at any given time. They were told that being a good person was all it takes to reach Paradise. Otherwise, they could believe in any religion they wanted to or none at all.

It doesn’t look like Paradise is where they think they’re going.

No, it’s not where they’re going, and they know it now, but they found out too late.

(It made me sad to see all the souls who’d resisted hearing God’s Truth during their time on Earth, but I couldn’t help them anymore. And then I remembered the souls who didn’t resist hearing God’s Truth. It made me happy to think about them, and I wanted to see them.)

What about the ones who’re going to Heaven? Where’s that line-up?

There’s no line-up for the souls going to Heaven.

What?! Why not?

Because those souls don’t need to line up. When they leave their earthly bodies, they go straight to Heaven. A few, like Moses and Elijah, start doing missions right away, but the rest fall into a deep dreamless sleep. They’re dressed in long white robes and their beds are covered in the finest white linen. Think Sleeping Beauty, only much more beautiful. They sleep the best sleep they’ve ever had, and they stay sleeping right up until Judgement Day.

Can I see them sleeping?

No, you can’t.

Why not?

Because they’re sleeping!… Shhhhh!
