In ancient times, many centuries before Christ came the ancient prophets were made aware in their prophetic visions of the existence together with God of a being like a human called The Son of Man. Jesus of Nazareth came preaching to the Jews who themselves knew these prophesies well and just before they crucified Jesus, Jesus told them: "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing of Myself. But I speak these things as My Father taught Me. He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him." He told them that they would die still with their sins left in them unless they believed this: He is this Son of Man. He then told those who did believe that to be freed from their slavery to their lying and hating and other such sins they had to keep Jesus' teachings given by The Father. He said "Then you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." After God raised Jesus from the dead, showing Jesus is His Son, Jesus revealed that God will eternally commit those who persist in lying and murderous attitudes and clever wizardry and filthy living to an eternal lake of fire to come and those who believe and are set free by the truth in Jesus will live forever.
