Lord of Souls

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment... Hebrews 9.27

Although mankind’s justice is different from the Divine’s, it gives insight into what will happen on Judgment Day.

Usually, when a man is brought to justice, the accused is arrested and held at the police station to await his final sentence. After filing the appropriate paperwork, he is led to court and there he will be judged. If convicted, he is taken to prison, where he will be kept behind bars to serve his sentence.
 If he is found innocent, he is immediately set free.

Divine Justice works in a similar way. It begins with death. Immediately after a person dies, they will face the first phase of the trial. The soul is separated from the body and is taken to the waiting room, before being taken to its final destination. If they are saved, they’re sent to the bosom of Abraham. If they are lost, they’re taken straight to hell.
But who takes them to their final destination?

Each person, regardless of their gender, age, belief, religion, race, nationality or social class, either belongs to God or to the devil.

Whoever repents their sins and gives their soul to the Lord and Savior Jesus when they die, the angels of God, in obedience to His command, come for their soul and bring them to Heaven, that is, to Abraham's bosom.

But if his soul is not completely devoted to the Lord Jesus during his life, there will be no more chances after death, considering that his free will is only valid while he is alive. Whether he likes it or not, after death his soul no longer belongs to him. And, because of his rejection or omission to what the Divine offered while he was still alive, the destination of his soul is hell. And after Judgment Day comes the Lake of fire and brimstone, which will be for all of eternity.

Who will take him to hell? God’s angels? No.

They only serve the Almighty.

The unclean spirits, Satan’s messengers, have authority to bring these souls straight to hell and nobody or nothing can stop them from completing their task.
