23 Minutes in Hell
By Bill Wiese

Part 1 of 3





Transcribed from the Audio CD, NOT from his book. The experience in Hell happened on November 23, 1998.You're going to hear the vision of Hell, but even more important, 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 for about a half an hour with absolutely no hope of ever escaping.  Bill and his wife are deeply devoted to Jesus Christ, and to the work of God, and to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.  You're going to like him also.  Please welcome Bill and Annette Wiese.

(Bill Wiese speaking)
It is an honor to be here.  This whole trip has been such a blessing to us.  Like Hal said, we are in the Real estate business.  We don't do this for a living.  We don't do this for money.  We just know that God has told us to go and tell the world about His love for people and the place He doesn't want any of His creation to go to.  So that's why we're here.  So, for the sake of time, I'm going to shorten this testimony and just get right into it.

But first I want to address a couple things, questions that might be in your mind.  The first question that would be in mine, if I was listening to me, would be, "How do you know it wasn't just a dream that you had?  A Bad dream?"  A couple points to make, first of all, I had left my body.  I saw my body when I returned, lying on the floor.  So I know for sure it was an out of body experience.  Some Christians have said, "Oh a Christian can't leave his body."  But that's not true, In 2 Corinthians 12:2, when Paul was caught up into the third heaven, He said, "whether in the body, or out of the body I do not know."  So if he didn't know that must mean it's possible.  And also he said in verse 1 that it was a vision, so I believe this comes under the classification of a vision. 

In Job 7:14 it says, "thou scarest me with dreams and terrifieth me with visions."  So this is definitely what the Lord did, terrified me through a vision.  Also in returning from this, it took me a year to calm down, and become like a normal person again.  I was so upset and traumatized from the fear that it's changed my whole viewpoint on how to witness and how much to appreciate what God saved us from. 

I asked my wife to come up for a minute so that she could just share with you what happened when she found me in the living room, because I don't remember that part.  So I want her to say a few words.  Thank you. 

(Bill's wife Annette speaking)
It was about 3:23 in the morning 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.  He's just not the type to get excited or get real emotional over anything, unless it's God at times.  But, anyway, 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 didn't know what to do. I thought he was having a heart attack.  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, like someone who went to Vietnam and has a reoccurrence, or a horrible car accident where they're reliving it.  It was not just someone who had a bad dream and woke up.  So I just wanted to testify to that. 

(Bill Wiese speaking)
I'm so blessed with a good woman.  I'm really grateful to God.  I've been married for four years, and have known her for six, and it's been the best six years of my life, I have to say, so praise God. 

I wanted to find out when got back from this experience, if there's any body in the Bible who has ever experienced Hell.  So I began research.  I listen to Chuck Missler a lot. He's a Bible teacher across the nation, a real scholar and he had said that Jonah had experienced Hell.  In Jonah 2:2 it says, "in Hell he cried out."  And In Jonah 2:6 it says, "The earth with her bars was about me forever, yet thou has brought up my life from corruption."  So at least there was somebody in the Bible that experienced Hell, Jonah. 

I also wanted to find out, because I was raised in the early days of Calvary Chapel, that any spiritual experience that you would go through should already be in the Word of God.  So I knew that if what I experienced was true, it would already be there in the words.  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.  I'll make reference to some of the scriptures as we go.  I can't quote all 400, but I will for some of them.  I also found out there were about 14 other people that had experienced some portion of Hell.  Most of them were near death experiences, people in the hospital dying and were brought back.

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 scenery better, but then it got dark after about a minute. 

In Isaiah 24:22 it says: "And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison...."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.

Also in Jonah 2:6, "the earth with her bars was about me for ever...."And Job 17:16 "They shall go down to the bars of the pit..."So again, everything I saw was in The Word.  Stones are talked about in Isaiah 14:19. 

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 as an unsaved person.  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, one you will see in the video.  One of the people that gives their testimony, he saw the same demon that I did.  So you will see what one actually looks like.  There is a really good picture of it in the video where one guy was drug up to the bars of Hell.  It's Kenneth Hagan's testimony.
Anyway, 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.


There were things that I am going to say, that I don't know how I knew.  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.

I was lying on the floor in this cell and I had absolutely no strength in my body.  I wondered, "Why can I hardly move, what is wrong with me?"  I was just aware of no strength, and I was helplessly lying there.  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. 

In Isaiah 14:9-10 it says
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.  All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we?  Art thou become like unto us? 

Psalms 88:4
I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength,

And we know that the devil does have strength, in the scriptures were there was a demon-man running through the graveyard, it says:Mark 5:1-4
Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.  And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains.  And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.

They couldn't bind him; he had broken the chains into pieces.  And that was just a man with a demonic strength.  I understood these demons had about 1000 times the strength of a man.  So even if I had my natural strength, I could not have fought them off anyway.  So I was absolutely at their mercy, which they don't have any mercy.  The Demons run your life in Hell. 

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 profanities, that they were cursing at God is mentioned in Ezekiel 22-26 "I am profaned among them"
Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

Profaning degraded vulgar language and blasphemies.

The torment they were doing on me was mentioned in Deuteronomy 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.
2 Samuel 22:6 states:

The sorrows of Hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

And in Micah 3:2 there is an interesting scripture where the Philistines, who hate the Israelites says:
You who hate good and love evil; Who strip the skin from My people, And the flesh from their bones;

That was what they did to the Jewish people.  That was in the natural, but where did they get that idea from?  That comes from Hell. That is what the Demons do, and the mercy?  There is only mercy in Heaven.  Mercy comes from God, and the devil has no knowledge of any kind of mercy, he is totally against that.  Psalms 36:5

"Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds."
 It is defiantly not in Hell.  And in Psalms 74:20 it says:
Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.

It is just a cruel, miserable, horrible place that you have to endure.  You have to endure all these things. 

God has made mankind the highest form of creation, and these demons are the lowest form of creation.   As men we work hard to get ahead in life, we better ourselves, we study.  But in Hell, your life is run by demons.  These 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. 

There are scriptures about the humiliation you have to endure.  "This thing is going to run my life, I can't stop it!"  In Isaiah 5:14-15
Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.  Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers.  So man will be brought low and mankind humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled.

Isaiah 57:9-16
You went to Molech with olive oil and increased your perfumes.  You sent your ambassadors far away; you descended to the grave itself!  You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.  "Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts?  Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me?  I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.  When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you!  The wind will carry all of them off; a mere breath will blow them away.  But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain."  And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road!  Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."  For this is what the high and lofty One says-He who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.  I will not accuse forever, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirit of man would grow faint before me- the breath of man that I have created.

Ezekiel 32:24
There is Elam and all her multitude, All around her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Who caused their terror in the land of the living; Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit. 

On and on it goes.  That was a horrible thing, to have your life run by these creatures, that have no mercy for you whatsoever.

(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.

And the fear that overcomes you is unbelievable.  Everything is dominated by fear.  There is no presence of God in this place, so 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.  Scripture talks about this darkness in Psalms 88:6

You have laid me in the lowest pit, In darkness, in the depths.
Revelation 16:10
Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

Jude 1:13
Raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 

And there is a darkness which may be felt, as shown in Exodus 10:21
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt-darkness that can be felt."

You can feel this darkness.                                                                                          Next page
