The Places in Eternity
By
Roger Behra
Eternity is a place made up of three distinct levels. The levels range from the most beautiful and blissful to the darkest and forlorn, and sooner or later each one of us earth dwellers is going to end up existing in one of the levels. The biggest question is which level is in our future? The choice is our own to make by the way we live our lives over the years we have here on earth.
The absolute best place to be in eternity, obviously, is the highest level called Heaven. The beauty of heaven is beyond description. No words are adequate to describe that eternal level of vivid colors.sparkling waters, and living environment in general. And the whole level is bathed in the “light”, which is regarded and respected as God, and where unconditional love is constant and exists for all spiritual entities there. On the heavenly level souls are with loved ones and friends who were part of earthly life. No soul ever wants to leave that level.
The next level in descending order is the holding place commonly referred to as Purgatory. It is close to the highest level and just above the place of total darkness. In the holding place the spirits exist without the divine light of God. Once the spirits are purged of their lack of penance that put them there and unconditionally accept God, they ascend to the highest place (Heaven). In the holding place their greatest displeasure is the absence of being in the all loving divine light.
The lowest level in eternity is the Dark Place. Spirits enter this dark side immediately upon death. There is no tunnel leading to the light. They enter through the left side, and there is only dark, Godless nothingness, and the very painful absence of the all loving divine light the unconditional love. It also is beyond anything imaginable.
Immediately at the moment of death souls know that the greatest gift God gave them during earthly life was FREE WILL. If free will was used according to God’s wishes, the soul does not enter the dark side. Instead, the soul entered a heavenly place or the intermediate holding place. Souls realize at the moment of the death if they used God´s greatest gift well. They realize they chose their level with their free will.
The monumental question all of us must ask ourselves is this. How are we using God´s greatest gift each and every day? That is so important, because we are choosing our eternal level at the moment of death. We have to constantly think about that every moment of each day. Through Christian living and daily prayer it becomes easier to be choosing the highest level. Without God´s blessings and daily help we cannot achieve the highest level on our own. It is just not possible. For many who will read this communication, time is on the short side. Think about the level being chosen by you while there is still some time. It is the most important thing you must do. Your daily life and the culture around you will be much better off as a result.
