Revelation 21:8

8 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.”

A. Those who have not overcome are listed here. Like other lists of sins (Galatians 5:1-26 and Romans 1:1-32) this list is not an exhaustive one. The list is suggestive of the sins for which eternal punishment will be meted out.

B. This list is a “Who’s Who in Hell”.

 Cowardly - Those afraid to act

 Unbelieving - Atheists and others who rejected the gospel

 Abominable - Sins which are abhorrent to God

 Murderers - This group includes killers, haters, abortionists and all who take human life on purpose

 Sexually immoral - All kinds of immoral sexual behavior

 Sorcerers - Those who had their faith in potions, spells, drugs, psychic readers, taro cards, and superstitions invented by men

 Idolaters - All who worship and serve things, people, positions, and powers more than they seek to serve Jehovah

 All liars - All who love or make a lie (22:15)

C. All of these will suffer the same fate as Satan. They will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone.

D. For these unbelievers, this will be the second death. They died physically. Now they will die spiritually.
