What Is This Prophecy Rev 1:3? And... Before Jesus, a one way ticket to hell?

Not unlike our pastor, a sorted incident happened on the Internet, and that takes him off on an exciting rabbit trail. Watch that rabbit run! Okay, here it is:

“What about the countless people who existed before Jesus' time... ...Did they also get a one way ticket to hell?”

And we wonder what happens when people can buy a collage degree for five hundred thousand dollars. You get stuff like this. They are seldom right but never in doubt. They're creating idiots.

So, our pastor takes this question of the day apart... piece by piece. And it's good. I could stop right here and people would have no choice but to listen. Can I Do It?

To start with, the premise of this question is critically flawed. (...So, Can I Do It? Apparently not.) BEFORE Jesus?! Before Jesus Existed!? Oh, my goodness. Who had existence before Jesus had existence? Go to Genesis 3 to find out from where this question originates. And those of you who are new should be shouting for joy right now. You found someone on the Internet who is not shallow! Finally! Now you get to find out just how “not shallow” he is. Take the Red pill, and come with us down the rabbit hole.

Now let's go to Psalm 139:13-16. What does, “was made in secret” mean? God says, I knew you before you were formed. What is the “secret”? Now we have a Mystery. Do we have time to do this today? Ah, no.

Because now, we start the lecture. You think I'm kidding. Oh, I forgot... you're new.

Revelation 1:3. What is “this prophecy”? Almost no scholar will admit “this prophecy” is that which follows next in the text. Why? What do they gain form this? I'll let our dutiful pastor lead you to the answers to these and more.
