1 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7647 | ||
What happens to death and Hades in the lake of fire and why? | ||||||
2 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Makarios | 7652 | ||
Cephas, here's a few sources on Rev. 20:14... Nelson's NKJV Study Bible.. "Death and Hades refers not only to dying, but to existence beyond the grave (Rev. 1:18; 6:8). The picture here is of all intermediate abodes of human bodies giving them up to God's judgment. While unbelieving humanity is judged according to its works, Death and Hades, the Lord's final enemy (see 1 Cor. 15:26), is also destroyed by being cast into the lake of fire. The second death is spiritual and eternal, the just punishment of the wicked. The first death is physical dying. Both are included in the overall meaning of the death that came upon the human race because of Adam and Eve's sin (see Gen. 2:16,17; 3:1-19; Rom. 5:12)." The MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV) comments on Rev. 1:18, "Death and Hades are essentially synonyms, but death is the condition and Hades, equivalent to the OT Sheol, the place of the dead." The Oxford Annotated RSV states, "Death and Hades (the temporary abode of the dead) are personified." Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse states, "All those who have made a covenant with death, and an agreement with hell, shall then be condemned with their infernal confederates, cast with them into the lake of fire, as not being entitled to eternal life, according to the rules laid down in the scripture..."

3 | Death | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7666 | ||
Thanks Nolan your response helps a lot.Can I conclude that death and Hades are destroyed in the lake of fire and not subjected to "eternal torment"? And if so, how is it that unbelievers are not destroyed there as many believe? | ||||||
4 | Death | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7669 | ||
"Can I conclude that death and Hades are destroyed in the LAKE OF FIRE and NOT subjected to "ETERNAL TORMENT" (emphasis added)?" Rev 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE. This is the second death, the LAKE OF FIRE (emphasis added). Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER AND EVER (emphasis added). |

5 | Hades tormented? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7670 | ||
Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever? | ||||||
6 | Hades tormented? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7687 | ||
"Death is the condition and Hades...the place of the dead." Since it is persons, not conditions or places, that are tormented, then the logical (and biblical) conclusion would be that, no, death and Hades are not tormented forever. |

7 | Persons destroyed too? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7759 | ||
If death and Hades are not tormented forever but destroyed (in the plain and ordinary meaning of the word),then how is it that persons are not destroyed in the same place as is taught? Is it the case that the lake of fire is a place both of destruction (which implies finiteness), and ongoing never-ending torment,depending on whether what is thrown there is a person or a thing? | ||||||
8 | Persons destroyed too? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7765 | ||
Ask the Jehovah's Witnesses. They make a career out of denying the fundamental Bible doctrine of the everlasting punishment of the lost. | ||||||
9 | Persons destroyed too? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7766 | ||
