An open letter to Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove Hebrews 9:27

Dear Rush and Karl,

Last Tuesday, March 9^th, 2010 Rush, you interviewed Karl Rove. And while the interview was interesting, there was one place that I thought you should have known better Rush. You see what happened was that either you or Karl mentioned Ted Kennedy by name, and as the two of you bantered back an forth about Kennedy, both you and Karl, at one time or another, said “God have mercy on his soul”, or something to that effect.

Rush, Karl, once a person dies it is to late to ask God to have mercy on that person. Rush, I pray for your salvation now, while you are still alive, for Rush once you take your last breath it is to late.

Gentlemen, about 1,950 years ago an unknown man, a man who was highly esteemed by the Jews and Christians of the day, but anonymous to us today, wrote the Book of Hebrews that we find in today’s Bible. In that book he tells us that once a man dies, God judges that man. That judgement takes place even before the body is cold, it is immediate upon death. Rush, Karl, long before you asked God to show mercy on Ted Kennedy, he had already been judged. That judgement is both final and has without appeal.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:27 ACP/KJV

I’m going to restrict the following to the four of us, you Karl, you Rush, Ted Kennedy and me, a poor humble preacher in Maine.

Kenney is dead, the three of us will be, maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, but without a doubt within the next 60 years. Kennedy has already been judged and as I look back on the things he fought for, the things he claimed to believe, the things he said, did, and pursued, I feel safe in saying he is now in hell.

*I am going to be 66 in the next two weeks, if I died this very night, I would find myself in the arms of Jesus, I would hear Him say “welcome home Bob.”

So, Gentlemen, way on the extreme right you have me, way on the extreme left you have the deceased senator Ted Kennedy, and in the middle we find your Rush and Karl.

Now, gentlemen it is important for you to understand there aint no purgatory, you will either spend eternity with The Lord God of Creation and me or you will spend eternity in the lake of fire with satan and I’m sure in my own mind, Ted Kennedy.

Rush, Michelangelo I am not, but, still I am going to try and paint a picture for you and Karl. Not one on canvas, but one for your mind.

Try to imagine, if you would, a large room, a very large room, say one that is five football fields long, three football fields wide, and one football field high. There are three doors in that room, one that everyone being tried walks through. Yes being tried, for the room is a court room. But not just any court room, this is the last court, it is a court with no appeal. It is a court with no prosecuting attorney and no defense attorneys. Each defendant stands on his own to be judged. That door is at the very east end of the room, close to the North East corner of the room.

There are two other doors, both of them are exits, one is a rather small unimposing door, kind of a sickly grey in color, but upon closer examination it is quite apparent that it is a door of considerable substance, more like the type of door you would find inside a maximum security prison, that door is used to keep those who have been judged guilty from ever escaping.

The other door is on the South side of the room directly behind and between two huge throne type chairs. Thrones fit for the most grand of all Kings. Thrones that seem to be made of a gold so pure that it almost looks like crystal, throne chairs that have what appears to be a rainbow emanating from them and surrounding them at the same time. That door looks as if it is made of freshly picked flowers, orchids, roses, flowers of unbelievable beauty, fragile and tender. Not a door to keep people in or out by any imagination, just a door separating the large judgement room from whatever is on the other side of the beautiful door between the two magnificent thrones.

Sitting on these two magnificent throne chairs is God the Father and to His right, His one and only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus, the Christ.

Now, Rush and Karl, as each person is brought in from the little door on the east wall, they come and bow down before God the Father, then looking at Jesus they either smile or have a look of shocked amazement on their face as they utter the words, "You're real." As each bows with his or head towards the ground, God the Father looks at God the Son and says this simple word. “Son?” At which time Jesus says one of two things, Jesus either says to the Father "He denied Me before men." or to that man, woman or child with the big smile on his or her face "Welcome My good and faithful servant."

For behind the thrones high above, about 80 yards up on the wall, is written this saying:

Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven.

But

whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven.

Each time the Lord said: "Welcome My good and faithful servant," the Rainbow get’s brighter, sounds of trumpets, harps, and every other conceivable instrument play a loud, cheerful welcoming song and as that sound plays, the white door between the Judgement thrones opens and laughter and music can be heard coming from behind it and light could be seen coming from behind it and beautiful scents too pleasant to even imagine came forth from behind this most beautiful door. And those souls who heard those welcome words "Welcome My good and faithful servant," depart from the room of judgement into everlasting paradise, not as visitors, but as adopted sons and daughters of God.

But those who hear these words; "He denied Me before men," hear no such sounds, see no such sights and feel the iron grasp of two mighty angels. The two mighty angels are taking that soul over to that thick, grey, steel door and opening it, and as they prepare to cast that soul to his or her eternal reward, horrible screams of pain are heard. No light emanates from it, horrors and stenches of undescribable decadence, filth and rot, tried to enter the throne room but were blocked by the soul being cast into the eternal lake of fire. A lake of fire, fire that never ends. A fire that burns with intense heat but with no light, causing a darkness impossible to imagine for it has never been so dark on earth.

Gentlemen, the picture I painted for you with words is not fiction, it isn't a story out of the latest and scariest horror novel, it is prophecy that will come true. It is called the white throne judgement and it is prophesied in detail in the Book of Revelation.

You see, if you are a professing Christian and slip and fall, which all of us do, me more so than others, you must repent. But, if you don't repent, you still may not be in a lot of trouble, but if while you are slipping and falling, you deny the Lord Jesus and don't seriously repent, you are going to find that hard, steel, grey door. Do not, even for a moment think that denying only means denying with the voice or in print, it doesn't. To deny the Lord is to deny Him in your dress, your behavior, your associations, and anything else that denies the presence of the Living God dwelling within you. Confused? Want to be unconfused? Read your Bible, study God's manual for you, for that is what the Bible is. It is God's owner's manual for you to run your life, authored by God, the original manufacturer of you, me, your kids, my kids, and everything else in the earth, on the earth and throughout all the heavens.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 ACP/KJV) ...and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:..1-3 ACP/KJV)

The Lord be with you both and may neither of you ever hear those horrible words, "He denied Me before men." Amen.

While the Lord does not need the platforms and audiences that Rush has, Rush, and his audiences need the Lord, as does Karl Rove.

The Lord God of the Universe, Messiah Y'shua be with you both. Remember Rush, it is better to be a horse fly in the stables of the Lord Jesus than the CEO of hell. Amen
