23 Minutes in HELL – Testimony of Bill Wiese

You’re going to read the experience of Hell, and you’re going to hear a vision of intimacy with Jesus Christ and the love He has for this whole world. Bill was in Hell. He wasn’t a casual observer, as so many people have been in legitimate visions, but He experienced the torments of Hell. Read on …

Bill’s wife Annette speaking –> “It was about 3:23am when I woke up. I just remember that because I looked at our digital clock, and I noticed Bill was not next to me, and I heard screaming coming from our living room. I proceeded to go down the hallway. I found my husband in a way I’d never seen him before. If anyone gets to know Bill, he’s very conservative by nature, very calm, and a professional man. I saw him there traumatized, literally traumatized holding his skull, holding his head between his hands and crying out and screaming. He was in a fetal position on our living room floor. I just started to pray and he cried out and said, “Pray that the Lord would take this out of my mind! The Lord took me to Hell. I feel like my body is dying, I can’t handle this.” So I proceeded to pray over him, and in about ten to twenty minutes he began to calm down. He was literally in a traumatized state. It was not just someone who had a bad dream and woke up. So I just wanted to testify to that.

BILL’S TESTIMONY

(Bill Wiese speaking) I knew that if what I experienced was true, it would already be there in the word of God. So I began to research and I found over 400 scriptures that depicted everything I saw, heard, felt, everything to do with Hell. It’s already in the Bible, so whatever I’m telling you it’s already there.

So to get right into it, quickly: My wife and I were at the Sunday night prayer meeting that we always attend with our pastors. And we went home like any other normal night and went to bed. About 3:00 o’clock in the morning I was taken. I did not know how I got there until I returned. Then the Lord explained. But I was just dropped into a prison cell, just like a regular prison cell, like you imagine, with rough huge stone walls and bars on the door. I didn’t know where I was yet. All I knew was that it was extremely hot, terribly hot. It was so hot, I couldn’t believe, that I was alive. I felt like I should have disintegrated with this heat, but I was still alive. It was light in the room for a little while, and I believe the Lord’s presence was there for me to see the scene better, but then it got dark after about a minute.

Proverbs 7:27 “they shall go down to Hell in the chambers of death” By “Chambers” it means rooms. So part of Hell has prisons cells, chambers, pits of fire, and big areas of fire, so I was just in a prison cell at this time. So again, everything I saw was in The Word.

HELL CELLS

I found myself in the cell, and these 4 creatures were in the cell with me. I didn’t know they were demons at the time, because I went there like as an `unsaved person`. Because for the experience God took it out of my mind that I was a Christian. I didn’t understand why, but He explained it to me on the way back. These creatures, I didn’t realize that they were demons, but they were enormous. They were about 12 or 13 feet tall, it was all scaly. This one had scales all over its body, giant jaws with huge teeth, and claws sticking out, along with sunken-in eyes. They were just enormous. And the other one didn’t looked like this at all, but it had razor sharp fins all over with one long arm and out of proportion feet. Everything was deformed and twisted and out of proportion, out of symmetry, no symmetry, one arm longer and one shorter and just odd looking creatures, horrible, horrible looking things.

And they were blaspheming God. The whole time they were cursing God. I wondered, “Why are they cursing God? Why are they hating God so much?” And then they turned their attention to me, and I felt the same hatred they had for God, they had for me also, and again I thought: “Why do they hate me? I haven’t done anything to them.” But they hated me with a hatred that I have never experienced on earth; way beyond what man has the ability to hate with. They absolutely hated me, and I knew they were assigned to torture me.

In Hell your senses are keener, you are just aware of more than our physical bodies are. I was aware of distances, I was aware of time, and so forth, much more than you are here. I knew these things were assigned to me, to torture me forever in this place.

TORMENT AND ABUSE

I was lying on the floor in this cell and I had absolutely no strength in my body. One Demon just grabbed me and picked me up, and threw me into the wall like a glass. He just picked me up like a glass. That was how light I was, or how strong he was. And threw me into the wall, and every bone in my body just broke. And I felt pain! I just began to lie on the floor there, crying out for mercy, but these creatures don’t have any mercy at all, absolutely no mercy.

The one picked me up, and the other one, with his razor-sharp claws; he just shredded my flesh right off. He just tore it off, and had absolutely no care what so ever for this body that God so wonderfully made. It had a hatred that was so intense against me. I wondered, “Why am I alive, why am I living through this? I don’t understand why am I not dead.” My flesh just hung there in ribbons. And there was no blood, just flesh hanging, because life is in the blood, and there is no life in Hell. And there is no water in Hell. Psalms 88:4 “I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength,”

HELL SMELLS

The smell of these demons and the smell in Hell were so atrocious; I can’t even describe it to you. There was a smell of burning flesh, of sulfur. The smell of these demons was like an open sewer, putrid, rotten meat, bad eggs, sour milk and everything you can imagine. Take it in, times 1000, and put it up to your nose. And you just breathe it in. It was so toxic, that it would kill you, if you were here in this body, you would die. And I wondered, “Why am I living through this smell, it is so horrendous?” But again you don’t die, you have to endure it.

The torment they were doing on me was mentioned in Deut 32:22-24. “For a fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the lowest Hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains. ‘I will heap disasters on them; I will spend My arrows on them. They shall be wasted with hunger, Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, With the poison of serpents of the dust.” So there are teeth of beasts upon you.

In Hell, your life is run by demons. These fallen creatures have a zero IQ, absolute ignorant creatures. All they know is hatred for God, hatred for you and torture. And they run your life, and you can’t do anything about it.

THE DARKNESS AND SCREAMING IN HELL

I was lying in the cell and it went dark, pitch, pitch black. I mean a darkness I have never ever felt before. And I have been down in caves, way down in iron mines in Arizona. There was a blackness that you couldn’t even imagine. I managed to crawl out, somehow I was able to crawl and they let me apparently. I remembered where the door was so I crawled towards it and I felt my way, and I got outside the cell. I looked one direction, all black, and all I heard was screams, Billions of people screaming in this place. I knew there were billions, and it was so loud. If you have ever heard someone scream before, it is so annoying. Well if you hear billions of people screaming, you can’t imagine how it affects your mind. You just can’t stand it. You hold your ears because it is so loud and penetrating. You can’t get away from the screams.
Scripture talks about this darkness in Psalms 88:6 “You have laid me in the lowest pit, In darkness, in the depths.” And Jude 1:13 “wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. “

INTENSE FEAR

And the fear that overcomes you is unbelievable. Everything is dominated by fear, you have to endure the fear and the torment and the blackness. You can’t see anything. You can’t even see what is coming up against you. The fear, I got a tell you, was so powerful. It grips you. If you have ever seen some scary movie, where the fear jumps up in your throat, if you can take that and multiply it by at least a thousand, and hold it there, that is how you stay all the time!

And I know something about fear. When I was young, I use to surf. When I was really young we were in Coco Florida surfing and there was a school (group) of sharks coming around me. And a 9 foot Tiger shark came up and bit my board right in a half. And it grabbed me by the leg and pulled me down. So my leg was in the mouth of this giant shark. I wasn’t a Christian then; it was before I was even saved. And all the sudden, it let me go. I know God opened that shark’s mouth. But for a few moments, the fear that comes into you is absolute overwhelming. The guy next to me was just a couple of feet away, and a shark ripped his leg right off! And they dragged him up on the beach, with blood everywhere. He was screaming and had no leg. So I understand fear, but that fear was nothing, absolute nothing compared to the fear I felt in Hell, no comparison at all. I think the fear I felt from the shark attack was one of the greatest fears we could experience on earth. So these are some of the things we have to endure in Hell. In Isaiah 24:17 it says:“Fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth”

DESOLATE IN HELL

I was now outside the cell and I looked this direction and as I looked this way I could see there was flames of fire, about 10 miles away from me. I knew it was 10 miles. And a pit of fire, about 3 miles across, had flames that lit up the skyline enough to see the landscape of Hell just a little bit. The darkness was so heavy; it just eats up any light. But there was enough to just see some of the skyline. It was all brown and desolate! I mean absolutely not one green leaf, not anything of life of any kind, just stone, dirt and black sky, and smog in the skylight. The flames were really high, so I could see it

INTENSE HEAT

The heat was so intense, you can even describe it. It says in Psalm 11:6 “Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.”
That’s what is going on in Hell, it is so hot. All these things should kill you, but you don’t die! You had to keep enduring all these things. I wanted peace of mind, to get away from the screams and to get out of there. It’s like when you want to go home at night, when you had a rough day, you just want peace of mind. But there you endured all the screaming and all the torment. And you never ever get away from it, ever. In Isaiah 57:21 it says:
“There is no peace,” Says my God, “for the wicked” You are also naked in Hell. It is just another thing to have to endure. Shame! In Ezekiel 32:24 “Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.”

DRYNESS

There is no water in Hell, at all, no water. There’s no humidity in the air and no water of any kind. It is so dry; you are desperate for a drop of water, just one. Just like the scripture says in Luke 16:23-24, “And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.”

TORMENT CONTINUES

Then one of the demons grabbed me, and drug me back into the cell and began all these torments again, which I really hate to talk about, because I don’t like to have to re-live the torment. They began to crush my skull. One demon grabbed me and tried to crush my head. I was screaming and begging for mercy, but no mercy! About this time they each grabbed an arm and a leg and were about to tear off my legs and my arms. I thought, “I can’t endure this, I can’t endure this!”

NEXT TO THE FIRE

And all of a sudden, something grabbed me and pulled me out of this cell. I know it was the Lord, but then I didn’t know that. I was there as an unsaved person, so I didn’t know these things. I just went there as if I had never accepted the Lord. I was placed over next to the fire that I had seen. I was standing along side that pit. I was beneath a cavern, like a giant cave, with a tunnel going up.

Along side the fire I could see through the flames, just enough to see bodies, people in the fire screaming, screaming for mercy, burning in this place! And I knew I didn’t want to go in there. The pain I’d endured already was bad enough, but the heat from that flame I knew was worse. These people were begging to get out.

There were these big creatures lined all around the edge of this Pit, and as the people crawled up trying to get out, they would be shoved back in to the fire and not allowed out. I thought, “Oh, this place is so horrible, so horrible and horrendous.”

All this is going on at the same time. You’re thirsty, you’re hungry, and you’re exhausted. You don’t get to sleep in Hell either. You need sleep just as you do now. Your body needs sleep. Rev 14:11 says, “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night,…You never get to sleep. You can imagine how that is, never sleeping.”

HELL IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

I knew that Hell’s location is in the center of the earth. That’s were it’s at, in the center of the earth. I understood that I was about 3700 miles deep in the earth. We know that the earth’s diameter is 8000 miles. Half way would be about 4000. I was about 3700 miles down. In Ephesians 4:9 it says that Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth.
In Numbers 16:32 says, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. That’s were Hell is right now. Later Hell and Death will be cast into the Lake of Fire and then cast into Outer Darkness. That’s after Judgment Day, but right now it is in the earth.

VARIOUS TYPES OF DEMONS

I was along side this pit of fire and I saw all these demons all lined up along the walls, all sizes and shapes of every kind, deformed, ugly creatures, you can imagine. They were twisted, deformed creatures, huge ones, small ones. There were giant spiders, huge spiders this big. (5 feet tall) Rats, snakes and worms, because the Bible talks about worms that cover thee (Isaiah 14:11). There are all kinds of abominable creatures everywhere and they seemed to be chained to the walls. I wondered “Why are these things chained to the walls”. I didn’t understand that, but there’s a scripture on that in Jude 1:6 says, “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;”
And so maybe that’s what I saw, I don’t know, but that is what it appeared to be. I was glad because I didn’t want them to get to me. They all hated me with a passion! That was another thing I didn’t understand, they weren’t just creatures, they had hatred towards mankind. So I was glad they were chained to the walls.

NO HOPE FOREVER

The worse thing in Hell, the worse thing, worse than all the torments, was I understood that, first of all, that there was life going on up here on the earth. And that people up here, most people, had no idea that this world even existed down here! They don’t even know this is a real world down here and there’s billions of people suffering and begging for one chance, if they had an opportunity to get out. But they never get a chance to get out, and being mad at themselves for not taking the opportunity to have received Jesus, that they are stuck there forever.
This is the worse thing about Hell, that there was absolutely no hope of ever getting out. I understood that. I grasped eternity. I could understand eternity. Here on earth, we can’t quite, can’t get a hold of it. But there I understood it. I knew I would be there forever and ever, and had no hope of getting out. In Isaiah 38:18 it says, “Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.”

JESUS APPEARS

About this time, I’m going up this tunnel, and I’m just in absolute fear, hopelessly lost, and fearing these demons. All of the sudden, just all of the sudden, Jesus showed up! “Praise you Lord”, Jesus showed up. This bright light lit up the place. I only saw His outline, the outline of a man. I couldn’t see his face, it was so bright. I just looked into this light and saw His outline. And I just fell on my knees and collapsed. I couldn’t do anything but worship Him. I was so grateful. One second ago I was lost forever, and now all of the sudden I’m out of this place, because I had already known Jesus. Those people can’t get out, but I could because I was already saved. I knew and understood that there was no way out of this place, only by Jesus. I fell at His feet like a dead man.

HELL IS REAL – TELL THEM

I said, “Lord why did You send me to this place? Why did you send me here?” He said to me “Because people do not believe that this place exists.” He said “Even some of my own people do not believe this place is real.” I was shocked at that statement. I thought every Christian has got to believe in Hell. But not everyone believes in a literal burning Hell. I said Lord “why did you pick me?”

He said to me, “Go tell them that I hate this place, that it’s not my desire for one of my creation to go to this place, not one! I never made this for man. This was made for the devil and his angels. You have to go and tell them! I’ve given you a mouth, you go and tell them.”

I thought to myself, “but Lord, they’re not going to believe me. They’re going to think I’m crazy or had a bad dream.” I mean wouldn’t you think that? As I thought this the Lord answered me and He said, “It’s not your job to convince them. It’s the Holy Spirit’s job! You just go and tell them!” And it was just inside, “Yes Sir!” Absolutely, I have to go and tell them.” You can’t worry and fear what man is going to think of you, you just have to go and do it and let God do the rest. Amen? And I said, “Lord, why did they hate me so much?” “Why did these creatures hate me?” He said, “Because you’re made in my image, and they hate me.” You know the devil can’t do anything against God. He can’t hurt God, per say, but he can hurt His creation. That’s why the devil hates mankind, and deceives him into taking him into Hell. And he inflicts diseases upon him, anything he can do to hurt God’s creation.”

THE PEACE AND HEART OF GOD

And then God flooded me with His thoughts. He let me touch a piece of His heart, of how much He loves mankind. Unbelievable, I couldn’t even take it. It was so overbearing. The love He has for man, you can’t take it in this body. It’s just the same as it says in Eph 3:19, ?..to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.” It goes so far past knowledge, you can’t even grasp it. I couldn’t believe how much He loved mankind, that He would die for just one person to not go to this place. And it hurts Him so much to see one of His creation going to this place. It pains the Lord, He weeps to see one person going. And I felt so bad for the Lord.

I felt His heart, He let me just touch a piece of His heart. He felt such sadness for His creation going there. And I thought “I’ve got to go out and witness and take every last breath I have and go tell the world about Jesus, How good He is.” I mean, we have the gospel. It’s good news. It’s good news, and the world doesn’t know. They have to be told! You know, we have to share this knowledge. He said to me also, “Tell them I am coming very, very soon.” And He said it again, “Tell them I’m coming very, very soon.”

And then I looked up and I saw those demons on the wall, that were so ferocious, they looked like ants on the wall! They just looked like ants! They were still big, but with the power of God next to you, all of God’s creative power, they looked like ants on the wall.

RETURNING

As we left, we went up above the earth’s surface. We went above, because we were still in a tunnel. Soon I couldn’t see it any more, but it was like a whirlwind, a giant whirlwind we were in. We kept going up. We had to go up, to get out of it apparently. When we got to the top of it, I looked down at the earth and it was about this high. The curve of the earth was like that. It’s awesome to look back at the earth! I know God allowed that for me. He could have left that tunnel any which way He wanted. He knew in my heart, as a kid I always wanted to see what the earth looked like from space.

There’s scripture in Isaiah 40:22 that says the Lord sits upon the circle of the earth. There I was upon the circle of the earth. I even thought, “Lord, how come before Christopher Columbus they could have read that scripture and known the earth was round.” You know? People wondered, they thought it was flat? (Even today some deceivers are teaching the Earth is flat)

He is in control of everything, everything. I just didn’t want Him to leave. I just wanted to be in His presence. We were coming up fast on California. Just coming real fast, we were moving so quick, and came up to our house. And I looked and I could see right through the roof of our house. And I could see myself lying on the floor. This really hit me strong, right here because I saw my body lying there and I thought, “That can’t be me, I’m here, this is me!” You know, you’ve never seen two of yourself. And I thought, “Lord don’t leave, don’t leave”. I just want to stay with You for a while. But He left. I came up to my body, and something pulled me back into my body, like I was sucked back into my nose or my mouth.

Right then, when He left, that’s when all the fear, the torture, and the torment came back into my mind! Because it says in the Bible (1 John 4:18), “Perfect love casts off fear.” So I was next to perfect love all that time, so that left me, and when He left, all of the sudden all of the fear and the horrors of Hell entered my mind. I couldn’t stand it, I couldn’t stand it! I was screaming. I was in agony. I couldn’t live with it. I knew that this body was not capable of withstanding that kind of fear. You can’t hold up under that kind of pressure. Your body isn’t strong enough. So that’s when my wife and I prayed and I was able to pray, “Take it out of my mind!”

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Hell is Real. If you die in your sins you will be in hell and then the lake of fire burning in torment forever and ever. Repent today of your sins, turn to Jesus Christ, the only Savior. He died on the cross for your sins, rose again King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Call on his name today in faith and repentance asking for salvation, give your life fully to him, be baptised in water and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
