What does the Bible say about lake of fire?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that the lake of fire is God’s final, righteous judgment on Satan, evil, and all who remain unrepentant apart from Christ, described as everlasting punishment and the second death. Revelation 19:20 and 20:10 portray the final defeat and punishment of the beast, false prophet, and devil. Revelation 20:14-15 says that death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, and those not found in the book of life share this judgment. Jesus warns in Matthew 10:28 and 25:41, 46 that God’s judgment is real and eternal. Yet these sober passages also magnify God’s holiness, justice, and the saving mercy offered in Christ to all who trust him.
