We’ve looked at some of what the book of Revelation says about heaven.  Let’s now look at what it says about hell.  God prepared hell for the Devil and the angels who rebelled against God.  In 20:10 it says, after the thousand year reign of Christ ends, “The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown.   They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” 

After this John saw a great white throne.  All who die without believing in Jesus Christ stand before the one on the throne.  The book of life was opened and the people were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.  Verses 14-15 say, "Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  The lake of fire is the second death.  If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life he was thrown into the lake of fire.” 

Take note: this judgment is not to determine if you are going to heaven or hell.  This judgment is for those who are going to hell because their names were not found in the book of life.  There evidently are degrees of punishment in hell.  That’s why the books that record their deeds are referred to, to determine the degree of punishment. 

The only way to escape this judgment is to have your name in the book of life.  How is this done?  By trusting in Jesus as your Savior before you die.  If you haven’t done this, I encourage you to do so before this year ends.  Do it today.
