[FineLinen]

The Lake Of Fire

1. We will consider all passages of Scripture speaking of the Lake.

2. What is the Lake of Fire?

3. What is not the Lake of Fire.

4. What is the defining ingredient of the Lake.

5. Compare our God the Consuming Fire & the Lake of Fire.

 

[FineLinen]

1. The passages of Scripture addressing the Lake=

Rev. 2.11

Rev. 19.20

Rev. 20.8

Rev. 20.10

Rev. 20.14

Rev. 20.15

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Actual Human beings are thrown into the very same Lake Of Fire that Satan is thrown into where He is tormented day and night forever and ever :


The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
• Revelation 20:10



.

 

[Lazarus Short]

I believe this to be an indirect reference to the Lake of Fire:

"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." I Corinthians 3:13-15 (KJV)

• Revelation 20:10

How many days and nights are we talking about?

4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
5 There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

 

[FineLinen]

In contemplating the Lake we shall consider #3 first.

What the Lake is NOT=

Hell or death.

The Scripture declares "death and hell" terminated in the Lake.

Please see Rev. 20:14

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire....">>>>

Yes, there is more>>>>>

"Which IS the second death."

Are we listening? As Judge Judy would say>>>

"Put on your listening ears."

The Lake IS NOT hell!

All aspects of hell end in the Lake>>>>>ALL!

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
5 There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

It would be as long as what ever "Forever and Ever" is.

Which brings us to #2. What is the Lake of Fire?

According to the Revelation, the ONLY book of Scripture speaking of the Lake, the Lake of Fire IS the 2nd Death.

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

According to the Revelation, the ONLY book of Scripture speaking of the Lake, the Lake of Fire IS the 2nd Death.

Yes, the very same lake of fire where Satan is tormented day and night Forever and Ever.

It's the same place.

Which brings us to #2. What is the Lake of Fire?

According to the Revelation, the ONLY book of Scripture speaking of the Lake, the Lake of Fire IS the 2nd Death.

Which brings us to Rev. 20:15. "Whoever is not found in the Book of life" will experience the 2nd death.

Alert!

But there is more. Let us now turn to Rev. 21:8 which says>>>

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Are we listening? Is our listening ears on?

1. The fearful.

2. The unbelieving.

3. ALL liars

4. Whoremongers & sorcerers, & idolaters.

"Shall have their part"

"Shall have their part"

The Book of Life is where one must be registered!

The question we must now consider is>>>

Are all believers overcomers?

We will now turn to Rev.2:11 which states >>>

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."

I repeat: are all believers overcomers?

Dear fellow members of the Tree of Life: The ONLY members who will not "be hurt" by the Lake of all lakes are the overcomer of the Living One. They and they ALONE are not "hurt" by the Lake. Your question to now consider is why?

Why is ONLY the overcomer not hurt?

 

[Petros2015]

Yes, friends, we will be considering what the Lake is, the primary ingredient of the Lake in English & koine, & how the Lake compares with our God the consuming Fire.

BUT NOT TODAY

That is coming in due time.

Dear Lazarus: So does F.L.

Dear Jude: Please examine the scope of aion and aionios.

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Dear Jude: Please examine the scope of aion and aionios.

Let's get a Greek Orthodox Priest in here and see what their understanding of The Words / Phrase is.


Also, The Church already had An Ecumenical Council about it in 553 A.D. that said :

If Anyone says or thinks that the punishment of demons and of impious men is only temporary, and will one day have an end, and that a restoration will take place of demons and of impious men, Let Him Be Anathema.
