Testimony of Philip Mantofa - #12
YouTube Channel: “Philip Mantofa Goes To Hell”
“I got few death threats when I speak on it.
Few bomb threats.
And, many gossips.
Slanderers.
And, say that I’m not healthy.
False prophet and all those things.
Who cares?
Because, even if I can save one soul.
Defending them through the testimony.
My testimony of good.
It’s worth it.
You want to kill me.
Deal with it.
It was on January, the first, eight years ago.
Year 2000.
I went to bed the night before.
My wife was next to me.
And, there’s one moment when I woke up.
And, all consciousness.
All my senses in tact.
My brain, everything is just fully conscious.
But, I was surprised.
Because, I wasn’t where I was supposed to be.
In my room.
I was in a very, in a weird place.
I couldn’t explain.
There’s no place like that.
And, I was puzzling.
Where am I?
What’s this?
I mean, I’m conscious.
It’s not a dream.
Not a vision.
But, it’s me.
Like, physically.
It’s me.
I just cannot see myself.
Wearing what clothes and so on.
It’s, all details is lost.
Because, of the trauma.
You know.
The shock.
And, I heard a voice behind me.
And, I couldn’t turn my neck.
You know, to the right.
To the left.
The voice behind me.
Because, I fellowship with that voice every day.
Reading the Bible every day.
I know who.
I know, that I know.
That voice is my Master, Jesus Christ.
Saying to me, ‘You are here by My will.
Go ahead.
And, go forward.
Walk on.
I’ll lead you.
I’ll show you something to tell other people.
And, just walk on.’
And, a very, long, long path.
A long path.
And, it’s very stuffy.
And, no air.
And, no wind blowing.
And, very heavy.
I think the stink itself could kill ya.
Literally.
In this life.
But, I know that I was in a good hand.
And, I walk on.
Say, 'What is it that You are trying to show me?
Get me out of here.'
You know.
'Get me out of here'.
You feel everything.
Like, you feel your skin.
You feel everything.
And, finally, I reach a place.
He led me to a place.
It’s a wide, wide, a huge wide gate.
It’s not like a gate, at all.
Nothing like it.
Whatever I say here.
Is just far to be likened to anything that we have seen in this life.
On earth.
And, that gate is so wide.
And, then there’s a supernatural writings on it.
Above it.
It’s amazing even to be able to read it.
Because, it’s so far.
So wide and tall.
And, it’s a door.
And, the writing.
And, God touched my eyes, to be able to interpret what is written.
Something, like, ‘The Valley of Death and Torture.’
Something, like that.
And, a voice behind me saying, ‘Open the door.’
I said, ‘I’m afraid to even open the door.
It’s so rusty.
It could hurt my hand.’
Because, it’s not a spiritual, I mean it’s not a spiritual experience.
Like, almost physical, you know.
Not only spiritual.
More than physical.
It’s very.
I’m not going to touch doors, like that, so I hurt my hands.
But, before I touch it, the door open by itself.
And, as it opens.
It breaks my heart so much.
I could.
I could hear.
All those.
All those.
I could.
Could hear, people.
People.
Voices.
Voices of human beings.
Crying for help.
And, cursing everything.
You name it.
And, it’s not clear anymore.
So many people.
And, gnashing of teeth.
And, the heat.
And, darkness just came out.
And, it’s not like darkness.
Like, there’s no light.
And, this is darkness.
It’s the darkness is a force.
And, it’s a, it’s a reality.
It’s a feeling of wrath of God in the air.
And, as I opened the door.
And, I could see.
I was by the gate.
And, I knew exactly where I was.
I was where the dead are kept until the Day of the Judgment of Jesus Christ.
The White Throne Judgment.
That is written in the Book of Revelation.
And, people, I could see anything else?
I could see far, far away.
Far, far away.
It’s too far for men to reach with his eyes.
But, because God.
Because, of Jesus.
And, His, His power.
I could see very far away.
Endless.
Endless.
At that direction, in front of me.
It’s really endless.
And, I could see smoke billowing up.
And, it was like.
There is a glow of fire.
Though I could not see the end of the fire.
It must be, where the valley must be very deep.
You know.
And, the lake, must be a lake of fire, or something.
And, it’s, and it’s so huge.
I could only see the smoke billowing up.
And, I began to see a lot of tortures happen.
And, I, I reminded what is written in the Book of Revelation.
That no one has been drawn into that Lake of Fire.
Not the devil.
Not human beings who died and perished in the sin.
No one, until the throne of, I mean, the White Throne Judgment of Jesus Christ.
So, I know where I’m standing at is by the gate of death.
Where I see so millions.
And, only God knows the numbers.
And, it’s a lot.
Trust me.
A lot more than people who go to church for sure.
And, I saw people being tortured.
By the free demon spirits, that are, until condemned.
But, they are not yet judged.
And, not yet bound.
Not yet.
Not yet thrown into the Lake of Fire.
And, these human beings.
These dead people who’s, trust me, they’re not dead at all.
They’re alive.
And, more alive than they thought.
Than we think.
And, they are tortured day and night by the spirits.
And, that served them, in their lives, with their sins.
And, this is, pay up time.
This is not judgment time.
This is just pay up time.
You know.
These spirits own them forever.
And, these spirits.
The devil’s demon spirits.
The devil and all this cursed death.
People who perished in their sins.
Gonna be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
And, I could see all kinds of torture there.
People are tortured according to their sins on earth.
Not because it’s God’s judgment.
God’s judgment is fair.
But, this is, like a playground.
Playtime for the devil.
You know, Jesus says, ‘It’s better for you to go to Heaven one eye.
If your eye causes you to sin.
Gouge it out.
Because, it’s better for you to be one eye into Heaven.
And, two eyes into Hell.
You know what happen?
You see with your eyes.
And, your eyes are the play toy.
In that.
In that.
In that torture chamber.
Not even the chamber is too small.
The chamber is too small.
And, if your hand causes you to sin.
One of your hands causes you to sin.
Just cut it off.
It’s better for you to be one handed into Heaven.
Than two hands.
I saw all kinds of tortures.
And people.
And.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, have mercy.
All I did was.
I just said, ‘Have mercy, Lord, have mercy.’
I almost died.
Witnessing all that.
And, I didn’t die.
Because, of God’s strength.
And, if it was not God’s strength.
I would have died in my sleep.
And, people would have thought I got a heart attack or something.
Ya.
And, after that experience, I woke up and in the morning.
I got pain all over my body.
I threw up almost every day, just thinking about it.
It’s so traumatic.
Especially, if people ask you.
Ask you to tell the story.
That would be like killing you.
Again.
And, again.
And, again.
And, nine months after that, I did the first crusade.
It was after a lot of back/forth with God.
God told me.
The Holy Spirit urged me to do a crusade.
And, share the testimony.
I said, ‘What?
I don’t want to.
I don’t think I could.
You know.
Secondly, I don’t want people to think I am crazy.’
I’ve been called false prophet.
I’ve been called theologically unhealthy preacher.
Whatever.
'Lord, if you love me.
Don’t tell me to do this.
It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s bad enough.
You know.
You bring me there.
It’s bad enough.
Why don’t You bring like.
This guy, that guy.
You know what I mean.
You bring me.
And, I obeyed anyway.
And, in that crusade, I preach very simply.
And, people, a lot of people, keep and ran to the front to receive Jesus.
I didn’t do that altar call, that, in this way, 'Who wants to receive Jesus, all eyes closed, all heads bowed.'
You know.
Nothing wrong with that style.
I don’t do that because of the emergency.
You know what?
Picture the Gospel as emergency.
It’s urgency.
It’s nothing.
It’s nothing like it.
It’s not a joke.
It’s not manipulation.
It’s not a business.
Come on.
It’s not all that.
And, I don’t care anymore.
I obey the Lord.
Even, if, I have to die.
People would kill me.
People didn’t like me.
Especially, hearing the news.
If I die, it’s a gain.
But, if I can save one person from going there.
Not me.
But, Christ, can save them through my testimony.
Through the Word of God.
It’s all worth it.
And, people just ran forward and receiving Jesus.
And, I saw about seven young men.
Up there, on the second floor.
As they’re listening to my sermon, they were joking with each other.
As I was sharing this.
And, as I was giving the altar call, people just come forward for the few seconds.
I don’t give them much time.
And, those seven people just talk with each other seemingly, like mocking what my testimony.
I didn’t, you know, I didn’t take.
I don’t take things like that personally.
Because, it’s not me they reject.
Suddenly, I get my first vision at that crusade.
I got a vision.
These seven people willing holding hands together.
Jumping into the Lake of Fire.
And, that broke my heart.
But, although, I brought some thousands of people came to Christ in that three nights, three nights of crusades.
But, still, cannot heal my heart.
I know that those seven people have hardened their hearts.
And, I don’t think in any other crusades.
Or, any other witnessing effort, by their friends.
If they hear something as hard as Hell and cannot change.
They will not change at all.
And, how about the people in the Western World?
Hell is a fantasy?
Hell is a, Hell is just a word?
Go to Hell.
Do you know what you are talking about?
And, Hell is just like.
It’s just a story.
You know.
It’s not real.
It’s made up.
It’s up to all of us, not to believe.
But, I always have this belief.
I share this.
Believe it or not.
My hands are clean.
Whether people believe or not believe.
It’s not in my control.
As long as my hands, I know I’m clean.
My hands are clean from your blood.
You make your own choice.
I’ve done my part.
And, I knew, that we are not to take sin lightly.
We are to be judged according to our deeds.
And, Jesus Christ comes.
Die
Came.
Dies a horrible death.
There must be something horrible in death.
For all human beings to experience.
For such a love to be sent from above.
To die a horrible, embarrassing, humiliating death.
Like, Jesus did on the cross.
We must not take things easily.
Take sin easily.
And, ya.”
