So awesome was the scene that the earth and the heaven fled away. In writing to Timothy, Paul again again stated: “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:” (2 Tim 4:1 NAS). Paul states: “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:30 -31 NAS). Jesus is sitting upon this white throne that symbolizes holiness and purity. In the vision John sees a great white throne with Jesus Christ sitting upon it (Matt. Having shown how God would bring the church through her trials and persecutions, John then turns to show that at the final judgment the Lord’s people will be ushered into heaven where they will celebrate their victory forever while the wicked will be lost in the place designed for the eternal punishment of Satan and his angels. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:11-15 NAS). This is the second death, the lake of fire. And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened and another book was opened, which is the book of life and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. “And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
