Does God answer prayers, do miracles, heal people, give prophetic warnings? Some would like you to believe he only does some of these things. No, he is still the same. As we get closer to his return the warnings will get more severe and so too the deception. We are all susceptable to the later, don't kid yourself. One of the most frustrating and unrewarding jobs that a Christian can have is that of a prophet giving a warning. Why?, becuase the people who should know better are the ones that are hardest to convince. Take a tour of the old testement if you don't think that is so. Did God reveal to them anything that was not previously written? You bet he did. So too day. Some of these warnings are very uncomfortable to some because it threatens the status quo. You might say it threatens to good ole boy club. However that has always been a job of the prophet, to shake up the status quo and turn them away from their false assumptions and distortion of scripture.
 
There have been those of us who have seen heaven and have seen hell. It is just like it says in scripute but oh how much more real and powerful it is to be there than just read about it. When God allows some on to go thru this it is to warn, especialy to carelss Christians who think they will be given a pass no matter what they do. God have mercy on those who discredit God's warning. It will not be good for them. Be not too quick to judge and discredit. be very careful that you understand what is being said. Judgement begins first in the house of God. Hell has many chambers , many levels and different stripes. But it is all awful and all unescapable, no second chances. That is why these warnings are so severe. God does not want anyone to go there. He is warning and warning, do not assist others into ignoring these warnings. What would God do to someone who dicredit his warnings?
