THE GREAT WHITE
THRONE — The Final Judgment of the Unsaved.
We read these
interesting words in Revelation 20:14,
“And DEATH AND HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
“And DEATH AND HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
How can Hell be
cast into the Lake of Fire? How can death be cast into the Lake of Fire? There
are two different Greek words used here. The Lake of Fire is the Greek word Gahanna.
The word “hell” in #Revelation 21:14 is the Greek word Hades. So we learn from
the Bible that Hades will be cast into Gahanna. Hades is a temporary place, but
Gahanna will be the eternal home of the damned.
Hell is a jail
where the unsaved await trial and sentencing before being cast into the prison
of the Lake of Fire. Please understand that if you are not a Believer—you are
already condemned! ... “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God” (#John 3:18)
Death is man’s
great enemy! All the wealth, fame and worldly enjoyments a person may
experience in this lifetime CANNOT go with them beyond the grave. Once you're
dead, it’s over! It’ll be too late to live for God when your six-feet-under.
Death means
SEPARATION. The first death is the SEPARATION of body from soul and spirit.
This is true of the saved and of the unsaved because we must ALL experience the
first death. Only the unsaved must experience the second death. If you’re a
Believer, you will receive your resurrected incorruptible body at the Rapture
(before the Tribulation Period); If you're NOT a Believer, then your body will
be resurrected after the Millennium to stand before God at The Great White
Throne of Judgment. “And the sea gave up THE DEAD which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up THE DEAD which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works” (#Revelation 20:13)
There will be a
reuniting of the body, soul and spirit at The Great White Throne of Judgment.
Body, soul and spirit will all be cast into the Lake of Fire.
The Bible makes
reference to the body being destroyed in Hell... “And fear not them which kill
the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able
to destroy BOTH SOUL AND BODY in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Those in Hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire. The second
death is a SEPARATION of your body, soul and spirit from God for ALL ETERNITY!
How sad. If man will not accept the gift of eternal life from God, then he will
receive the only other alternative—eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire. God
never created mankind to be put in such a horrible place, but there is no other
place for him. Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. I take it that
this is a place where God never goes. The second death means eternal and
absolute separation from God.
