Revelation 20

1: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2: And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8: And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9: And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I can't tell you whether YOU are going to Hell; I can only give you this information:

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

What is the condemnation?

John 5:26 "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation."

Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

No one has said you were going to hell, however Revelation 20:15 says "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." So if you have made sure your name is written in the Book of Life, you have no problem, but don't wait, because God also said long ago, "My Spirit will not always strive with man."

Revelations 24:7 And then the Lord looked down upon the harlot Limendoz, and said, "Oops. Ya missed one", and yea, verily yea, He did stretch forth his hand and crack the earth asunder, casting her into the fiery pit. And lo, she crash landed in the punch bowl at Satan's Saturday Afternoon Pig-Pickin', ruining Pope John Paul the Second's pearly white robes, soaking George Burn's toupee, and interrupting Beelzebub's favorite cookout sing-along: "We're Going to the Hookie Lau."

Oops! Did I just add to the Book of Revelations and invoke God's curse? I better get me some fire insurance!

Christ will be the ultimate judge. Anyone who makes that judgment now is in danger of the judgment themselves.

I like 2 Timothy chapters 3 and 4 which remind us of the way things are today. These are the types of wickedness that will be rampant in our latter days. The bottom line is found in Galatians 6:7.

No one can say that "you" are going to hell. Only God knows that. Here is what God said, "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."

If you read all of John chapter three, it will go into more descriptive detail.

THE GOOD NEWS: John 14:6

I am the way the truth and the life. No man goeth to the father but by me.

THE BAD NEWS: Revalations 20: 12

Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Hell . . . Another way of saying is death, or to be away from God. Or with life.

To be in heaven is to be with God, to have life, to live.

Perhaps you may want to read Ezek? I think that is interesting.

Yes - Luke 13:3b - "But unless you repent you will all likewise perish." To perish means to be separated from God for all eternity. To repent mean to turn from your own ways and trust God's ways. You will turn from your sin and self. You will have to go another direction in your life. It is not hard. Just talk to Jesus - He is there waiting for you and pursuing you. You won't be sorry.

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world (your name here), that he gave his One and Only Son, that if whosoever (your name here) believes in Him, will not perish, but have Everlasting/Eternal Life." It is for you. Blessings. Seek Him and you will find Him. He loves you.

I might be able. But I know nothing about your situation. Going to hell depends on your actions. So does going to Heaven. Frankly I'm more concerned that I don't go there. You on the other hand might fall under the 'Three Dog Night' verse, I know there ain't no heaven, but I pray there ain't no hell.
