Revelation 20:1-14

Სწავლა

      

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Apocalypse Revealed # 872

872. 20:14 Then Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This symbolically means that the impious at heart, who in themselves were devils and satanic spirits, and yet in outward appearances seemed to be people of the church, were cast down into hell among spirits who were caught up in a love of evil and so in a love of falsity according with evil.

Death and Hell symbolize the impious at heart, who inwardly in themselves were devils and satanic spirits, and yet in outward appearances seemed to be people of the church, as in no. 870 above. The lake of fire symbolizes hell, where those people reside who are caught up in a love of evil and so in a love of falsity according with evil, thus who love evil and justify it by arguments arising from their natural selves, and still more so those who justify it by the literal sense of the Word. Inwardly in themselves these cannot but deny God, for such a denial is subconsciously latent in any evil life practice that is justified by falsities. The lake symbolizes a circumstance in which there is an abundance of falsities, and fire symbolizes a love of evil, as in nos. 835, 864 above.

Our being told that Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire accords with the speech of angels, in which persons are not named, but instead that which is in a person and makes him who he is. In the present case that which is in the person makes of him death and hell. The reality of this can be seen from the fact that hell cannot be cast into hell.
