Who Get's Thrown Into The Lake of Fire?

And he said, Friend, how did you come in here without putting on the [appropriate] wedding garment? And he was speechless ([muzzled, gagged). Matthew 22:12

When our Father comes to the Wedding Supper He judges the guests of the wedding. Everyone who has ever lived is at the Wedding Feast at this time and Jesus tells us that all of the guests are judged by the King. Notice that God does not judge the Bride when He comes, He judges the guests. Also notice that out of a room full of guests, our Father only finds one person that is not worthy to be there. If it were such a given that so many people are to be thrown into the Lake of Fire, why wouldn’t Jesus have said the King found many who were not appropriately dressed? We are shown in Revelation that when God comes to the earth, everyone who has ever lived is here and yet Jesus only says that God found one who was not worthy to stay.

This is a great topic to study. I have always been taught that far more of us will be thrown into the Lake of Fire than won’t be thrown into it. Yet Jesus doesn’t allude to that in this parable at all and Jesus used this parable to tell us what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus tells us here that a very small amount of people are thrown out of the Wedding Feast. Jesus does tell us that there are people who will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, but He doesn’t tell us that it is a majority of the guests at the Wedding Feast or even many of the guests at the Wedding Supper.

There is only one unforgivable sin according the Bible and that sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The people who commit this sin will have no defense and they will be unable to defend their actions that took the attention away from the Holy Spirit and directed it towards themselves and man. This is why Jesus tells us in the parable that the man was speechless.

And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Matthew 12:31

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 1 John 5:16-17

There is only one sin that leads to death and that sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has John write that there are sins that do not lead to death and those sins are every other sin other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Every sin can be forgiven except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. So what is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? This sin is when people in positions of power over the people try to have the people rely on themselves and not on God. It is the sin of anti-christ. It is the sin of people believing and persuading others to believe and put their trust in man and not in God. It is the sin that puts trust in the works of man. Look at who is guilty of it in Matthew 7:22-24

Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

These people all took the credit for what they did. They did the works in Jesus’ name, but they are anti-christ. They proclaim what they did, not what Christ did through them. They credited the works of our Father to man and themselves and not to the Holy Spirit; they blasphemed the Holy Spirit. This sin is unforgivable. Yet this sin is also very, and I do mean very difficult, to commit. Look at the Jewish Leaders who lied about Jesus, tried to discredit His works, they tried to say satan was doing the works that the Holy Spirit was doing through the Disciples, and had Jesus killed, and Jesus still forgave them. So this is an incredibly rare sin and while Jesus tells us that it will be committed, in this parable Jesus only refers to one who has.

All other sin does not lead to being thrown into the Lake of Fire, or death. I know how that sounds, believe me, I know how that sounds. But look at what happens at the end of the Millennial Reign, every human that has ever lived will be raised up to be a the Wedding Feast. The books are opened, it is plain for us to see what every one has ever done. As we see these things, we will ask for their forgiveness and they will be forgiven. We will ask for everyone who has not committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit to be forgiven and they will be and they will eternally be alive for us to serve and rule and reign over. These people will never be the Bride of Christ, but they will be eternally the guests of the Bride. This Truth should bring you great peace and joy!

To help you grasp the reality of how many are permitted to be the eternal guests of the Bride and Groom of Christ, I want you to think about Jesus and His life here on the earth. The Word teaches us that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Hebrews 13:8. When Jesus was here who did He sternly rebuke? Was it the adulterous woman, the tax collectors, the notable sinners, the prostitute, or was it the Pharisees and Scribes? Who does Jesus tell us to beware of, the sinners or the wolves in sheep’s clothing, who are false religious leaders, Matthew 7:15? Jesus provided for and constantly forgave and had compassion for the sinners, yet He openly rebuked and went after those religious people who were close to committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will not change, these are the same people who will be thrown out of the Wedding Supper into the Lake of Fire. The people who are thrown out of the Wedding Supper are the people who complained that Jesus was with the notable sinners.

When Jesus was being crucified what did He do? He forgave those who were doing it, right? When the disciples asked Jesus, how often do we forgive, Jesus said to them seventy times seven times. Jesus never changes and He will not change when the books are opened to judge the guests. Jesus plainly tells us us in this parable that only one was found by our Father who could not stay at the Wedding Supper. And the one found unworthy is the ones who committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, we know this because every other sin does not lead to death. We will intercede and forgive every sin, other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, so that a majority of the guests will be allowed to stay.

So how can the Word say that there will be no murderers, or sorcerers, or witches, or adulterers in the Kingdom of Heaven?

But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)--[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8

There will be none of these people in the Kingdom because all of these sins will be forgiven. Yet for those who committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, they will have their part in the Lake of Fire. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are cowards and ignoble. They are unbelieving and faithless. They are defiled with abominations and lewd and practicers of magic arts, the trust in man and not in God. They are liars and they knowingly convey untruth. Look at the Pharisees and Scribes. They were cowards of the Romans. They saw marvelous things and yet did not believe and they had no faith. They were murderers and practiced things that were definitely not of God and they knowingly conveyed untruths. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will have their part in the Lake of Fire, but as for the rest of the sinners, their sin does not lead to death. So they are permitted to stay eternally at the Wedding Feast because their sins will be forgiven.
