The Bible Study New Testament

Revelation 20:14-15

Were thrown into the lake of fire. We see the doom of the unbeliever! The unbeliever and the unrighteous share the doom of the Devil, in a place never intended for them. [Book of the living: ancient cities kept the names of their legal citizens in a book. The names of the dead were erased from the book, also the names of criminals.]

The redeemed universe in Eternity as symbolically pictured in the messianic community of the redeemed in the present!
