- When we get to heaven, will we remember our loved ones who didn’t make it in? The Bible says in Revelation 7:17 - For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Thank God for His Grace. I am just a man lost in sin. My only hope for redemption is under the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Amen, me too
Same here
Look at Isaiah 65:17 God said we will not remember the former things and they would not come to mind AMEN
I am NOT sure this is talking about Heaven. Look at this verse
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
What are your thoughts on this verse?
I don’t think that’s referring to heaven
That’s what’s called taking a verse out of context
I agree. “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.” Isaiah 65:17. It seems to say the former earth and heavens, and even its inhabitants, will not be remembered. If we do not remember the earth how will we remember its inhabitants.
I agree with Isaiah 65:17 - and Isaiah 35:10 Reminds us that God gives us Everlasting Joy - The ransom of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing. And, then this phrase, “Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads.” Everlasting joy.
5 seconds in: I like this guy.
The Bible says the memory of the wicked will perish. We won't remember those who do not make it. Our family is with us there. Jesus says those who do God's will are His brothers, sisters and mothers
I have always thought that maybe when he wipes the tears away it means he will take the memory of someone who didn't make it to heaven away so we would not grieve for them. Just a thought.
Great thought. God bless
Why cant i chose to remember them? i don't want to forget..
@@CloudHeady same
I am saved by the grace of god. JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. I REPENT OF ALL MY SINS.
I do not believe we will have a memory if our loved ones in hell;we can not be happy even in heaven knowing this.
So you’re fine with a loved one being in Hell as long as God will erase the memory of it?
In the context of the conversation between Abraham & the rich man, there’s memory & cognizance on the part of each, yet there is no sympathy for the rich man, or his brothers on Abraham’s part. In a paraphrased account from Charles Spurgeon, in which he asked his mother about her going to heaven without him. She replied: ‘I will simply say amen to the judgment of God’. Sadly, those who hear the gospel & reject Christ & go to hell are exactly where they wanted to be. This is the single most great tragedy in the history of history. I have people in my life who I love dearly, who also reject Christ. Please pray for them if you have time.
something doesn't seem right here...😢
Pray for our loved ones everyday that they get to know Jesus and receive the promise.
Pray without ceasing, in all things give thanks for this is the perfect will of God concerning us in Christ Jesus.
Amen 🙏
no less than 5 minutes ago did I ask myself this very question laying in bed, I got up to upload a video and this was recommended on my home page.
God is sovereign.
Believe in the lord jesus and you will be saved, you and your household acts 16:31
What if the family aren't born again? Jesus said only the born again get to see the kingdom of GOD, there's alot of contradictions in the Bible.
@@nopretribrapture2318it’s not a contradiction because he and his entire household participated in getting saved. “And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.”
Acts 16:31-34 ESV
With full context it explains that his entire family was baptized and they ALL rejoiced, not just him.
This is a real tough subject to preach on but needs to be discussed . We lost our son 2 years ago an Army disabled veteran from combat injuries in Iraq , we had him in Christian school when he was young and he loved the lord as he grew up he changed as I also did spiritually then I came back to my source Jesus and asked forgiveness as far as I know he never did so I ponder this a lot just wondering If he was saved or not, it is so hard to even think about.
We will never know the answer until we are in heaven .
when people are about to die, even if for a moment, I believe they call out to God, and the word says He who calls upon the name of the Lord shall b saved; plus think of the thief on the cross beside Jesus; all he said was remember me when u get to your kingdom, and Christ replied THIS DAY thou shalt be with me in paradise. So your son very likely knew he was about to die and called upon the Lord; get ready to see him there!
I'm going through the same thing concerning my mom. She died June 25th 2022 from a brain aneurysm. I struggle so much wondering where her faith was and did she make it. I cry almost every day about it. From what I understand hell is a terrible place I wish on no one. Her and I never really talked about her faith. My sister says she use to talk about going to church but going to church doesn't seal ones salvation. My thoughts are screwed about this everyday. Lord please give our minds peace.
Yes that it is a difficult thing but our lord is a very loving merciful God and long suffering towards us as well …. A lot of us grew up in a Christian household some not…. But in your case one Bible passage comes to mind …. Bc it’s what happened to me as well as many others …..”teach a child in the way he should go and when he gets older he will not depart from it “…. So there’s hope there the way I see it …. I strayed and had to learn the hard very painful ways even effecting my health a lot … but I returned ….so very possible he returned to his roots and what you taught him in his last time moments …. And God isn’t willing anyone should perish …. So there’s deff hope there yet my friend ….trust God tho and lean not on your own understanding of things…keep the faith brothers and sisters for soon we shall be with the lord Jesus …abba father
@@Officer_Naughty-Cuffs I feel your pain. I lost my mom 7/7/2022. She was 60. Heart condition. This morning I lost my aunt. Cancer. I had the chance to speak to them about the gospel. It was a tough battle, but i don’t know what was in their heart at the end. I’m here looking for answers too. The not knowing is painful. The hope I cling to is Jesus and His word is true. He answers prayer and His word doesn’t return void. My aunt cried when I preached to her and she did say a prayer in faith. My mom could not speak (intubated) so I never heard her confess the Lord. I had a dream of her one night being dressed in white and dancing. I hope your loved one is with the Lord.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thanks for the comforting words, God's grace is too HIGH you can't reach it, Too wide no can't go around it, too deep you under it..
Hearing this already makes me sad. 😔
We are called to make disciples, this highlights why it is so important.
😢 im scared!!! i dont want to forget!!!
@@CloudHeady Matthew 10:37, "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me"
No more suffering and sorrow in heaven, ever
The Lord told me if I followed Him faithfully and repented of all evil that He would save my family...I hope to encourage you all here that God can save our families even if sometimes it's when they die...the Lord comes even to the dying to be saved that's in scripture
Once we are with Him we will see His perfect Plan. Although some us who have studied the KJB for many years He has already revealed it to them and there is such a peace once He gives you that understanding. He is in control of everything and every soul, God in His infinite wisdom knows those who love Him and those who hate Him before the foundation of the world. Let God be God and trust in the deep work He is doing in the earth.
God loves our loved ones WAY more than we do, if God is not upset about it we won't be either. This is it.
Luk 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luk 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
I’ve learned a lot from this man, he truly is a man of God. I’m grateful for him.
They were only attachments of this world. The feelings of sorrow that we experience here isn’t the same when we leave this body.
It's good to be in the word, nothing else can compare to it, it's imperative that we study and remember what the word states, God bless you all, thank brother pearl, I really enjoy fellowship with you and your other guest, I too want everyone to make it to the kingdom of God...
I believe that God is a merciful God and is more forgiving than we can imagine
When God closes the gates of hell forever, He will forget about hell and we will also forget about hell and those in it. We will never remember or think of them again.
Not sure I agree with this one.
idk..
Thank you for answering those questions! I so love to listen to the answers and too want to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. I pray that I will meet up with my family that have been long gone before me. I pray there will be that glorious day we all are reunited and see each other again.I so pray that our "Circle will be unbroken" and none are left behind to suffer. So for that being said, I pray, pray , pray and pray and pray some more! May God continue to bless you for speaking his Truth!
Best teacher wants us to go to heaven
You have such a beautiful, soft, way of answering questions. Thank you for sharing Gods truth.
Such a hard subject too digest, in my earthly mind I can't understand how I could possibly enjoy anything without loved ones, it seems like their absence and suffering would put me in my own personal hell of guilt and sorrow, I understand in the presence of the Lord my mind will not work the same and I couldn't possibly understand the motives of the Lord, nor was I meant to understand, He does what He does because it needs to be done weather or not I understand is irrelevant, it's just always been hard for me to reconcile being able too enjoy anything without certain loved ones.
I've had this question for years.
Thank you for addressing this issue.
Even if I didn't like the answer so much...😁🙏🙏
This was seriously a very good question.
Mike I've always believed that since God is all powerful that He would wipe away any memories that would bring us sorrow as He wiped away the tears. Just my way of thinking. I enjoy your teaching. Thanks for sharing.
Think of the family and friends we know are in Hell right now and we are not bothered too much as we go about our lives and have happy moments without them as time has gone by since their passing. This is from a human ability so imagine if God wipes away all out tears how we would feel then?
I truly love your teachings of God’s Word. God Bless You
No one loves our family members more than the LORD. He has taken on all of our sufferings through Jesus Christ. We will understand His perfect love and have complete peace with His judgement.
I preached a sermon on this very subject. If we don't tell the sinner about the Savior I believe we will regret it forever
but why does it our duty to save others? a mere human? i dont understand 😢
I’m pretty sure there will be no worries in heaven. I believe when our bodies are transformed into spiritual bodies, our minds are also transformed. There will be no negativity.
My answer was that of perspective. Now, you look to your dad and mother for guidance. In heaven, they will be your brothers and sisters. God will be the Father of us all.
The glory of heaven will be awesome and your problems won't compare ....I didn't think of that angle.
In our new eternal life with christ the bible says we will have no memory of our previous life as it is now.
The Bible says, we now see through a glass, darkly, but then we will see perfectly!!! God bless everyone
What a good question and one I've pondered before. God bless you for how hard you work to tell us all that you have!
Well...we have to remember that everyone that ends up in hell are there due to their own free will choice of NOT wanting to be with God.
If someone who is a loved one does such a thing I think when we are made new we have the ability to make peace with the choice that they made in not wanting to be with God because that is the free will choice that they made.
We lose concern or sadness about earth when in heaven. There is only joy from the love of God.
You have such a kind and giving heart. Thank you!
Nevertheless it go to your nerves when you see your relatives lives their lifes as it is and don't want to listen to you if you tell them about the bible and the possibility to get "saved".
Also, I must confess, their attitude annoys me from time to time.
This makes me incredibly sad!!! 😭 im crying in my hands saying "No!!!"
I don't know. I think it's more likely we won't know each other as we were on earth.
I preached a sermon about this very thing. If we don't tell the sinner about the Savior we will regret it forever
It's imperative that we stay in the word, nothing else can compare to it, I really enjoy fellowship with you and your guest, keep up the good work, I too want everyone to make it into the kingdom of heaven... Peace and God bless you
We know you do this because of your love for God & people & I appreciate you doing this. I love watching your channel & learn a lot. Thank you Mr Pearl!
I seriously want to thank you the Bible questions that people are asking you are helping me and you’re taking your time away from your family to do this may God bless you and your whole entire family.
Thanks for making these videos. We appreciate them! God bless and stay safe!
The Lord Jesus bless you Brother!
GOD IS GOING TO BRING ALL PEOPLE INTO HIS KINGDOM OVER THE NEXT 1000 YEARS.
Thank you Pastor Michael. That was a wonderful explanation. It sure is gratifying to see you working with your hands and applying the gifts the Lord has given you.
You are a wonderful man who makes God smile.
What a great lesson , God bless🙏
Thank you for your service , inspiration and heart for the lost. I really enjoy your videos 🙏
I personally think God will blot out that memory of loved ones who did not make it, just like the Bible says God remembers our sin not, I feel like since He remembers the sin not, and obviously those who were cast into hell were sill in sin, I believe God will have us not remember them, and the will be replaced with the Glory of God. Guess we will see but I know one thing when we get there, those things that seem so important now or such a big deal will fade like smoke in a windstorm.
Very tough question. It’s hard to think of someone close to me goto hell. Thank you for the great answer!
God bless you brother! See you with our Savior, the LORD God Jesus (the) Christ, Maranatha!
Thank you for caring whether or not I go to heaven ❤️ I enjoy and get a lot out of your videos. God Bless You ❤️
I thought it meant God would wipe away every tear we go through here. All the persecution for our faith, rejection etc. The whole of it and the lost ones we knew in our lives who didn't make it
I understand that we will forget those who got condemned.
The former world won't even come to our thought is promised in Isaiah so the reasons should not come including the loved ones who died outta the Grace won't be remembered.
There is no benefit to go to hell according to Psalms but evil is eliminated because of condemnation
I don’t think a person in heaven would remember any loved ones not saved. I also believe those in torment would be greatly tormented seeing what they could have had. Lastly I doubt them in heaven could look into hell
That green grass in the background looks much different than the heavy layer of snow in my backyard! All the best to you.
Thank you for helping us to understand the Bible and always loving God and being obedient to his will..God Bless you and your family..
Thank you sir . Mr Pearle I want to personally thank you for the time you share with us, with me. I do take to heart to listen deeply and to learn the things you say . To apply it to my life . I sometimes feel so far away from Jesus and the Father . Your plain speaking is well received. Thank you again for the inspiration not only for me , but for my going forward to win all I can to be a follower and doer of Jesus. Thank you again. Sincerely from my heart .
Even though we won't remember them, we still have to make sure they are saved, without too much force of course. Don't think that 'oh I'm going to heaven if they don't wanna come I won't remember them'. Even on your last day on earth tell them to turn to Jesus. Amen.
I can listen to this guy all day
The kingdom of God, has always been Paradise, "without those kind of people", evil will have no place!
For sharing God's word you get your blessing in heaven when Judgment Day comes it's not about money it's about saving lives money cars houses boats materialistic things will not even matter guess your soul being rested complete content with Jesus and his father the suits on the right-hand amen
I can’t even live my life knowing my parents might not make it to heaven it physically hurts so bad that I’m losing faith in God
loved ones? "Whoever does the will of God is my sister and my mother and my brothers"..... Jesus Christ...matthew chapter 12 nkjv
You’re helping me so much ! Thank you !
How can I be happy in heaven if I am aware that one of my loved ones is in hell?
"When you're in heaven, you will be so sanctified that you will be able to see your own mother in hell and rejoice in that, knowing that God's perfect justice is being carried out."
~ John Henry Gerstner via RC Sproul.
Thank you for spending your time that make these they do make a impact
This is a good answer, but I would add to it that God is a Holy, Just and Upright God. The purpose of the coming White Throne Judgement is so that all peoples ever existing, their lives and motivations, hearts and their final destinies will be revealed to all. This is both necessary but also an act of compassion and mercy to all. Because those going to hell will know EXACTLY why they are sent there, and those who are not, will know EXACTLY why those they cared for aren’t with them in Heaven. Knowing such a thing can be a great comfort; as opposed to not knowing and always having that WHY GOD gnawing away at you. I would posit even those in hell will at least have the tiny grace or comfort to know WHY they are suffering there. Better than the added burden of not knowing.
I have pondered on this many times. Thank you for bringing scriptures up to make points with! This is a great sermon!!! God bless!
YES "Unless you hate your father and your mother and your brothers and your sisters and your wife and your children and even your own life also, with a holy hatred, you cannot be my disciple"..... Jesus Christ... luke 14 nkjv
1st. Viewer. Thanks for your time and caring. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
Thank you so much for sharing your time with all of us, to share God's holy word. We appreciate you so much!
I am grateful to God for you Brother!
Thank you and God bless you and your family forever and ever, Mr. Pearl.
Job went through some type of hell, then got back double
God is righteous and just! if you don't hear and heed to your invitation....you will have to live with what you have done.......so turn from your sin and trust in him or lie in the bed that was made for you! glory be to God!
Thanks for sharing the Word brother. I'm not a biblical scholar, but I understand enough to get me in trouble with questions. Is there a reason you don't want comments posted? No offense, God bless you for spreading the Word. Jesus Christ walks TODAY ❤🙏
God bless you dearly, you have a precious, naturally pure heart. Thank you for your time and videos. God bless.

I've got a nickname for Pearl. Loved one introduced me to him here on RUclips. Well she tells me that he threw tomahawks. And so it wound up that Pearl got nicknamed "The Tomahawk Pastor".
Thanks for this.
