Revelation 20:13

Read in context

Revelation 20:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Then I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.

13 The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire.

15 And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
