NASB | Revelation 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:14 Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God]. [Matt 25:41; 1 Cor 15:26] |
Bible Question (short): Persons destroyed too? |
Question (full): 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? |
