I'm wondering if any of you could read the below and give me your input? I'm trying to communicate what the Lake of Fire is, what the Second Death is & why it's called the Second Death, who is placed there, and when this judgment takes place. Thanks for your help.
Hades
Capernaum will descend to Hades (Mt. 11:23; Lu 10:15).
The gates of Hades will not overpower the Church (Mt. 16:18).
After the rich man died, he was taken to Hades where he was in torment (Lu 16:23).
The soul of the Lord was not abandoned to Hades (Act 2:27).
The Lord has the keys of death and Hades (Rev. 1:18).
The sea, death, and Hades will give up the dead which are in them; and they will be judged according to their deeds (Rev. 20:13).
Death and Hades will be thrown into the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14)
Lake of Fire
The beast and the false prophet, who deceives those who will receive the mark of the beast and worship his image during the end times, will be thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone (Rev. 19:20).
The devil, who deceives the world, will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone. The beast, the false prophet, and the devil will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Rev. 20:10).
Death and Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14).
Anyone’s name not found written in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15).
The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will have their part in the lake of fire that burns with brimstone, which is the second death (Rev. 21:8).
Second Death
He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death (Rev. 2:11).
The second death has no power over those who have part in the first resurrection (Rev. 20:6).
From my understanding of Scripture, Hades is an actual place where torment can occur. One day, Hades will give up those who are in it to stand in judgment before the Lord (Rev. 20:11-13). Many call this the Great White Throne Judgment due to verse 11. Then, both death and Hades will be thrown into the Lake of Fire (Rev. 21:14). Additionally, anyone’s name not found written in the book of life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Those who have practiced sins such as unbelief, murder, immorality, sorcery, idolatry, lying, etc. will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is called the Second Death (Rev. 20:14).
Why is it called the “second death”? My guess is that one dies physically once and some will also die in the Lake of Fire a second time. Since all are resurrected to life once again, those who endure the Lake of Fire die again and experience a second death.
“An hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come forth; those who did good to a resurrection of life, those who committed evil to a resurrection of judgment” (John 5:29)
“…having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked” (Acts 24:15).
My understanding is that some come to life just before the Millennial reign of Christ Jesus, and others come to life just after the Millennial reign…
“The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed” (Rev. 20:5).
