Analysis\u00a0of\u00a0\u201cHoping\u00a0All\u00a0Will\u00a0be\u00a0Saved\u201d\u00a0\/\u00a0\u2026Hell\u00a0is\u00a0Empty\u201d<\/a>; specifically, the following portion in it:<\/span><\/p>\nWe know that hell is not empty from the following passage (among others):<\/p>\n
Revelation 20:13-15<\/strong>\u00a0(RSV)\u00a0<\/span>And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.\u00a0<\/span>[14] Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;\u00a0<\/span>[15] and if any one\u2019s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.<\/span><\/p>\nThe lake of fire is hell.\u00a0Hades\u00a0<\/em>(Hebrew,\u00a0Sheol<\/em>)\u00a0is the netherworld where the dead await final judgment (see Luke 16 for a description). Those who are damned will go from Hades to hell.\u00a0And those not written in the Book of Life will go there. This is not speculation. This is biblical prophecy and a description of what occurs in the end times.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cDeath and Hades\u201d thrown into the Lake of Fire means in context that damned dead people were sent there.<\/span><\/p>\nThe account in Revelation 20 is one of actual happenings in the future. It\u2019s not a theoretical; it\u2019s factual. Thus, \u201cif any one\u2019s name was not found written in the book of life, he was\u00a0<\/em>thrown into the lake of fire.\u201d The \u201cdead were judged\u201d (Rev 20:12), etc. The contrary scenario\u00a0would, I think , require modified \u201chypothetical\u201d language; something to the effect of, \u201cif any one\u2019s name had not been<\/em> found written in the book of life, he would have been<\/em> thrown into the lake of fire.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThat sort of\u00a0 language would easily and naturally allow an interpretation of possible universalism; a live, real possibility.\u00a0I don\u2019t believe that the language in the passage allows that possibility, because of its \u201creporting factuality.\u201d But there are other cross-references concerning the book of life<\/em> in Revelation:<\/span><\/p>\nRevelation 3:5<\/strong> He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.<\/span><\/p>\n[implies a very real possibility of not being included]<\/span><\/p>\nRevelation 13:8<\/strong> and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written<\/em> before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.<\/span><\/p>\nRevelation 17:8<\/strong> The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life<\/em> from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.<\/span><\/p>\n[two definite assertions that there are people whom God has known would be damned from all eternity, not<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in the book of life [but God didn\u2019t predestine the damnation; He simply knows about it, in His omniscience]<\/span><\/p>\nRevelation 21:27<\/strong> But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb\u2019s book of life.<\/span><\/p>\n[clear, plain insinuation that the damned (not in the book of life) exist.]<\/span> We also have the following passage from St. Paul:<\/span><\/p>\nPhilippians 4:3<\/strong> . . . they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.<\/span><\/p>\n[implies that there are those who are not in the book; i.e., the damned or reprobate or lost souls, sentenced to hell]<\/span><\/p>\nOld Testament passages also teach the same notion:<\/span><\/p>\nDaniel 12:1-3<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAt that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.\u00a0[2] And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. \u00a0[3] And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[the saved must be in the book, thus implying that others are not in the book. In the same context, it says flat-out that some of the dead will end up in \u201cshame and everlasting contempt.\u201d]<\/span><\/p>\nExodus 32:32<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBut now, if thou wilt forgive their sin \u2014 and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.\u201d (cf. Dt 29:20)<\/span><\/p>\n[not as explicit, but appears to presuppose the notions more clearly expressed elsewhere, of a dual possibility of destination after death]<\/span><\/p>\nOne of the bedrock principles of Bible interpretation \u2014 on which all Christians agree \u2014 is to interpret the less clear passages from related clear ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fire sunset hd wallpaper [http:\/\/widehdwalls.com] \u00a0 This is a follow-up to my post,\u00a0Analysis\u00a0of\u00a0\u201cHoping\u00a0All\u00a0Will\u00a0be\u00a0Saved\u201d\u00a0\/\u00a0\u2026Hell\u00a0is\u00a0Empty\u201d; specifically, the following portion in it: We know that hell is not empty from the following passage (among others): Revelation 20:13-15\u00a0(RSV)\u00a0And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2331,"featured_media":2642,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[583,50],"tags":[222,197,227,223,2345,85,229,224,228,54,155,226,196,154,225,221],"class_list":["post-2641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hell-satan-last-things","category-salvation-justification","tag-annihilationism","tag-damnation","tag-damned","tag-eschatology","tag-final-judgment","tag-gehenna","tag-heaven","tag-judgment","tag-lake-of-fire","tag-last-judgment","tag-predestination","tag-reprobates","tag-reprobation","tag-the-elect","tag-the-lost","tag-universalism"],"yoast_head":"\n
