« And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth »
Read Revelation 21:8
Aramaic Bible in Plain English But to the timid, the unbelievers, the evil, the defiled, murderers, sorcerers, fornicators, idol worshipers and all liars: their part is in the burning Lake of Fire and Brimstone, which is the second death
NKJV But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Amplified But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
CEV But I will tell you what will happen to cowards and to everyone who is unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies. They will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur. This is the second death.
Eternal death is the same as damnation to hell.
It describes the condition of spending eternity without God.
- Eternal death is for those who die physically and depart this world without repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
This is also known as the second death, which is the final banishment of unbelievers from God’s presence. To this effect, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 CSB says:
7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels,
8 when He takes vengeance with flaming fire on those who don’t know God and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the Lord’s presence and from his glorious strength
The agony of eternal death may be described in two major ways:
1- The loss of eternal peace of joy with God.
2- The hardship of eternal damnation in hell fire.
Romans 6:23 categorically states that eternal life is a gift from God.
Romans 1:16 further tells us that this precious gift is available to those who believe in the saving power of the name of Jesus.
Eternal life provides humanity with rest from the troubles of life and grants the pleasure of being in God’s presence forever.
Thus, missing out on eternal life will be a major agony of eternal death.
The second major agony of eternal death comes from the suffering, pain and anguish of hell itself.
- The Bible describes hell as an everlasting fire that is prepared for the devil and his angels, Matthew 25:41 .
Dwelling with the devil and his angels will be such a horrific experience.
I pray that you will not partake in the agony of eternal death in the mighty name of Jesus.
To escape this agony, simply accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you are saved already, congratulations!
Please guard your salvation diligently to the end (1 Corinthians 10:12). Acts 4:12 CEV says
« Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in the entire world that can save anyone »
Prayer focus – Father, please don’t let me partake in the agony of eternal death, in the mighty name of Jesus.
