Everything in the Bible, nor any story passed down isn’t suppose to be taken verbatim. It’s been greatly distorted for political agendas and by Satan to take souls (read Revelation 14: Satan Perverts Divine Symbolism). It’s your job to decipher what’s true, learn and apply the lessons. Free will gives everyone a choice to follow good or evil. Karma hits either way, the longer it takes the better or worse it’ll be. Going through it has a purpose. Continuing to hold faith despite the hardships shows who’s true to this.
We are in spiritual warfare, Armageddon. Even the Devil knows he doesn’t win, but whom will he take with him? Everyone will be sorted where they aligned. This the last lifetime of the condemned, which unfortunately is more people than not because they focus on the now and not the later. You are a soul having a human experience. Everything material falls away, down to the body. The choices made during Judgement era have dire consequences. I’m the test for a lot of people, mind yourselves.
