REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 20:13 The sea, Death, and Hades (the realm of the dead; Revelation 6:8) will give up their dead as all people return to bodily existence to be judged. they were judged... according to what they had done. Unbelievers will be rightly condemned for their sins (Revelation 20:15). Believers, whose names are in the “book of life” (vv. Revelation 20:12, Revelation 20:15), will enter into “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1) because they are redeemed by “the Lamb who was slain” for their sins (Revelation 1:5; Revelation 13:8). Their recorded deeds give evidence of their trust in Christ and are the basis for determining their rewards (see notes on 1 Cor. 3:14–15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 22:12).
