Dr. Maurice Rawlings & The Reality of Hell

On January 5th, 2010 a prominent physician by the name of Dr. Maurice S. Rawlings passed away. Who is Dr. Maurice Rawlings and why is he so prominent? Dr. Rawlings was noted as a man who witnessed the gateway between physical science and the real hell. But before I delve deeper into the details, I want to share with you a little bit of information about this Dr. Maurice S. Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings was a war hero, a scientist (serving as Medical Director for Aventis and ZLB Bio-Science Laboratories), and a doctor. He served as a physician to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and served as a physician to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, including famous names to American History such as World War II Generals George C. Marshall, Omar Nelson Bradley, and George S. Patton. He was an associate clinical professor of medicine for the University of Tennessee and a National Teaching Faculty for the American Heart Association.

Dr. Rawlings was an extremely accomplished man and a self-professed atheist… that is, until he had a very unusual experience with a patient who complained of chest pains......

If you died, had an unpleasant experience in another realm, and experienced sheer terror, how would you identify where you went if you came back? If it were me, I certainly would not identify it as Heaven. I would identify it as Hell, even before they were judged by God. From hearing these people, or reading their testimonies, it is obvious that these people were not aware of the compartments that hell is comprised of (meaning Hades, Sheol, and Gehenna).

Even if these people were in waiting areas, anything that is as dark and evil as these people described could not be identified as Heaven and would be best described as Hell.

Also, I am going to tell you, God gives people experiences. He knew that if he allowed those people to encounter a taste of the spirit realm, their testimonies would appear on television and in books. Hell is a real place. We had an experience that hit home in our family back in 2001. My Grandpa was a self-professed atheist (yet a moral atheist), and towards the end of his life he said that he saw these evil looking beings. He did not believe in God or Satan, but he saw these things. It prompted my Dad to talk about Christ, and my dad brought a Bible to my grandpa’s apartment so that he could wart off those evil spirits in Jesus’ name.

God works in many strange ways, and if it takes experiences like these to reach out to people to raise awareness to thems, then that is just another example of God acting in grace, reminding people that Hell does exist.
