人类末次的背叛

The Last Rebellion of Mankind
1与白色大宝座前的审判在本篇信息中，我们要来看人类末次的背叛（启二十7～10）与白色大宝座前的审判。（启二十～15。）这两件事都要发生在那千年之后，新天新地来临之前。虽然在千年国里一切的光景都很美妙，但在人类里面仍有背叛的天性。因为神豫先知道，即使是得恢复的人类仍会有这难处，所以祂在千年国的期间将撒但留在无底坑里，好等到千年结束之后用他试验人类。藉著这试验，人背叛的天性要被暴露且得除净。所以，在千年国之后，首先要清除的就是人类背叛的天性。接者，要清理已死的不信之人的光景，他们在等候白色大宝座前的审判。白色大宝座前的审判要对付已死的不信之人，对付死亡和拘禁死人的阴间，并对付鬼。因此，在这段话里，我们看见宇宙中最后的清理，为新天新地的来临作准备。在千年国之前，许多东西要受到对付：大妓女、敌基督、假申言者，以及邪恶、属世界的权势。在千年国时期，主要对付祂子民的不成熟。我们若在神永远的生命里不成熟也不完全，就是羞辱神。神的子民不成熟真是羞辱神。在千年国的期间，神要除去祂子民的这个羞耻。许多基督徒持有错误的观念，认为千年国时代将是绝对完美的。有些基督教教师说，当千年国来临时，在神经纶里的一切都将是完全且完美的。我们必须强有力的宣告，这观念是不正确的。千年国仍然在旧天旧地里。神对待人，每一时代都有特别的方式。祂使用不同的时代，使祂的百姓完美、完全并成熟，为要建造新耶路撒冷作祂永远的居所。所有的时代都是为著这目的。千年国那一千年将是最后一个时代，在这时代里，有些不完全的东西仍需要受对付。为这缘故，新天新地不会在千年国之前来临，乃会在千年国之后来临。所以，千年国也是神所使用的一个时代，好成全他还未成熟的子民。
1and The Judgment at The Great White Throne In this message we shall consider the last rebellion of mankind (2 0:7-1 0) and the judgment at the great white throne (20:11-15). Both will take place after the thousand years and before the coming of 11 the new heaven and the new earth. Although the condition of everything in the millennial kingdom will be wonderful, within mankind there will still be a rebellious nature. Because God foreknew that even restored mankind would still have this problem, He will keep Satan in the abyss during the millennium so that He may use him to test mankind after the thousand years are over. By means of this test man’s rebellious nature will be exposed and purged. Thus, the first thing to be cleared away after the millennium will be the rebellious human nature. Following this, there will be the clearing up of the situation of the dead unbelievers, who are awaiting the judgment at the great white throne. The judgment at the white throne will deal with the dead unbelievers, with death and Hades that hold the dead, and with the demons. Therefore, in this portion of the Word we see the final clearance in the universe as a preparation for the coming of the new heaven and the new earth. Before the millennium, many things will be dealt with: the great prostitute, Antichrist, the false prophet, and the evil, worldly forces. During the millennium the Lord will deal with the immaturity of His people. If we are immature and imperfect in God’s eternal life, we are a shame to God. The immaturity of God’sp eople is truly a shame to Him, and during the millennium God will rid His people of this shame. Many Christians hold the mistaken concept that the dispensation of the millennium will be absolutely perfect. Some Christian teachers have said that when the millennium comes, everything in God’secon o my will have been completed and perfected. We must strongly declare that this concept is inaccurate. The dispensation of the millennial kingdom will still take place in the old heaven and the old earth. God uses each dispensation to deal with people in a specific way. He uses the various dispensations to make His people perfect, complete, and mature, for the purpose of building up the New Jerusalem as His eternal habitation. All the dispensations are for this purpose. The millennium, the thousand years, will be the last dispensation. In this dispensation certain imperfections will still need to be dealt with. For this reason, the new heaven and the new earth will come after the millennium, not before it. Thus, the millennium will be also a dispensation used by God to perfect His immature people.
2倘若你在现今的时代就成熟了，就用不著下个时代使你成熟；然而，你若在这个时代不成熟，你就得在下个时代成熟。在现今的时代，神将祂的生命赐给我们，将祂的恩典供给我们，也豫备所需要的环境和景况，使我们长大成熟。祂甚至利用属于头一次死的种种项目，如软弱、疾病、麻烦、艰难，帮助我们长大。但若是有了生命、恩典和环境之后，我们在这个世代仍未成熟，神在祂的智慧中就要使用最后一个时代，就是国度时代，使我们成熟。对于成熟并完全的人，千年国是赏赐和享受；但对于不成熟的人，千年国却是亏损和对付。在最后一个时代，神甚至要用与第二次死有关的各项，管教并惩罚未成熟的信徒。祂作这事有积极的目的，就是强迫他们长大成熟，使他们豫备好了，进入新天新地里的新耶路撒冷。感谢主，神在现今的时代已经使许多人长大成熟了。神在现今的时代也要对付天主教、犹太教、敌基督、假申言者、以及邪恶、属世的权势。然后千年国，就是国度时代要来临，作为成熟者的赏赐。在千年国期间，神子民中未成熟的人要受对付，使他们成熟。在千年国之后，千年国的国民身上仍然有人类背叛的天性，需要被暴露并除净。不仅如此，已死的不信之人、死亡和阴间、以及鬼，也都需要受对付。所有这些消极之物仍然需要扔进『垃圾箱』里。所以，在千年国期间，神要管教未成熟的信徒，以除去他们的羞耻，将他们领入成熟的地步。千年之后，撒但要被释放，且要被主用来试验背叛的人类并除净人背叛的天性。此后，已死的不信之人与鬼要在白色大宝座前受审判，这一切消极的东西，包括死亡和阴间，都要被扫进宇宙的『垃圾箱，』就是火湖里。那时，全宇宙一切消极之物都要在火湖里，并且新天新地要随同新耶路撒冷来临。
2If you mature in the present dispensation, you will not need the next dispensation for your maturity. However, if you do not mature in this dispensation, you will have to mature in the next. In the present dispensation God gives us His life, He affords us His grace, and He also prepares the environment and circumstances we need to grow into maturity. He even uses items of the first death, such as weakness, sickness, trouble, and hardship, to help us grow. But if, in spite of the life, the grace, and the environment, we still do not mature in this dispensation, then, in His wisdom, God will use the last dispensation, the dispensation of the kingdom, to make us mature. To the mature and perfected ones, the millennium will be a reward and an enjoyment. But to the immature ones, it will be a loss and a dealing. In the last dispensation God will even use the items related to the second death to discipline and to punish the immature believers. He will do this with the positive intention of forcing them to grow into maturity so that they may be prepared to enter into the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and the new earth. Thank the Lord that in the present dispensation God has already caused many of us to grow into maturity. In this present dispensation He will also deal with Catholicism, Judaism, Antichrist, the false prophet, and the evil, worldly forces. Then the millennium, the kingdom age, will come as a reward to the mature ones. During the millennium, the immature ones among God’sp eople will be dealt with so that they may mature. After the millennium, the rebellious nature of mankind will still be found in the citizens of the millennial kingdom and will need to be exposed and purged. Furthermore, the dead unbelievers, death and Hades, and the demons will all need to be dealt with. All these negative things still need to be cast into the “trash can.” Therefore, during the millennium God will discipline the immature believers to rid them of their shame and to bring them into maturity. After the thousand years, Satan will be released and used by the Lord to test rebellious mankind and to purge out man’s rebellious nature. After this, the dead unbelievers and the demons will be judged at the great white throne, and all these negative things, including death and Hades, will be swept into the universal “trash can,” the lake of fire. At that time, everything negative throughout the whole universe will be in the lake of fire, and the new heaven and the new earth will come with the New Jerusalem.
壹 人类末次的背叛
I. THE LAST REBELLION OF MANKIND
一 撒但从监牢里被释放
A. Satan Loosed out of His Prison
3七节说，『那一千年完了，撒但必从监牢里被释放。』无底坑（启二十3）是魔鬼暂时的监牢。我们已经看见，过了一千年，他要从其中被释放出来，作神最后一次试验人的工具。
3Verse 7 says, “And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be loosed out of his prison.” The abyss will simply be a temporary prison. As we have seen, after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison and used by God to test mankind
二 撒但迷惑列国背叛神
B. Satan Deceiving the Nations to Rebel Against God
4八节说，撒但『要出来迷惑地上四方的列国，就是歌革和玛各，叫他们聚集争战，他们的数目多如海沙。』列国要上来『遍满了全地，』并且『围住圣徒的营，与蒙爱的城。』（启二十9。）这里我们看见，撒但要迷惑列国背叛神。在喜乐的一千年之后，列国中竟有这么多人背叛神，并与神争战，真令人难以置信；然而事实确要如此。这次战争是地上最后一次战争，是人类末次的背叛。人类虽然得著恢复一千年，背叛的天性仍旧存在。这背叛的天性要因撒但末次的煽动暴露出来，也要藉著主对人类最终的审判得以除净。照以西结三十八章二至三节和三十九章一至二节看，歌革和玛各必是指苏俄。以西结三十八章二节指明，歌革和玛各属于罗施、米设和土巴。罗施等于罗细亚（Russia），米设等于莫斯科，土巴等于托波耳斯克。以西结三十九章二节说到这些地方是北方的极处。以西结三十八和20三十九章中所说歌革和玛各的事，要发生在千年国之前，而本章所记载关于他们的事，要发生在千年国之后。启示录二十章八节指出，撒但迷惑地上四方的列国，就是迷惑歌革和玛各；这也许指明人类受撒但煽动，末次背叛神时，歌革和玛各居于领导地位，列国要跟随他们。请注意，撒但要『迷惑地上四方的列国，就是歌革和玛各。』按这节，歌革和玛各等于地上四方的列国。但歌革和玛各实际上是地上四方的列国么？不是！所以，这必是指明在撒但的煽动下，歌革和玛各要在列国中领头背叛神。看看今日的世局。所有的共产国家都在苏俄的影响或控制之下，就是在歌革和玛各之下。当撒但煽动歌革和玛各背叛的时候，事实上就是煽动地上四方的列国背叛，因为所有的共产国家都会跟随苏俄。因此，这节指明，由于领导国苏俄的强大影响，便左右了其他国家，领著他们背叛。因著人背叛的天性深深扎根在他里面，所以即使在千年之后仍然要表现出来。地上那一部分的人最背叛神？答案当然是苏俄。圣经不会叫我们对这事一无所知。我们若是在今日世局的光里仔细读圣经，我们就要敬拜神。圣经清楚的指明，人类背叛的源头是在北方的极处，歌革和玛各之地，就是苏俄。背叛神的思想在这地区的人里面深深扎根。我信，地的这一部分就是启示录所说『地的三分之一。』（启八7。）五十年前我就熟悉圣经的豫言，但我没有看见许多豫言的应验。但今天许多豫言已经应验了，也许不久之后，还有更多的豫言也会应验。按著我对圣经豫言的研读，今天地上的确有一非常黑暗的部分，就是地的三分之一；甚至在千年之后，这地区的人仍会与撒但联合背叛神。背叛神的人数『多如海沙。』那一个国家能召集这么多的人？答案当然是苏俄，以及在她影响之下的共产国家。共产国家有方法激动百姓，这些国家要聚集他们的人民发动这最后一次的战争。九节说列国要围住圣徒的营，与蒙爱的城。圣徒的营是得胜信徒暂住之所，他们是天上的众军，（启十九14，）安营在地上。我们这些天上的众军要安营在那里，而在歌革和玛各影响之下的列国要攻击我们。蒙爱的城是耶路撒冷城，以色列遗民所住的地方。在千年国里，得胜的信徒和以色列遗民是神在地上忠信的百姓，同神并为神站住。到了千年国末了，撒但要从北方的极处煽动背叛的人类攻击他们。撒但是何等恨恶圣徒的营和蒙爱的城这两个地方！然而，火要从天降下，烧灭这些背叛的人。赞美主，祂轻松的就打退了攻击的人！
4Verse 8 says that Satan “shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.” The nations will go up “over the breadth of the earth” and surround “the camp of the saints and the beloved city” (v. 9). Here we see that Satan will deceive the nations to rebel against God. It is difficult to believe that after the pleasant, thousand - year period, so many among the nations will rebel against God and go to war against Him. Nevertheless, it will be so. This war will be the last war on earth, the last rebellion of mankind. Although mankind will be restored for one thousand years, his rebellious nature will still remain. It will be exposed by Satan’s last instigation and it will be purged away by the Lord’s final judgment on mankind. According to Ezekiel 38:2-3 and 39:1-2, Gog and Magog must be Russia. Ezekiel 38:2 (ASV) indicates that Gog and Magog are of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, answering to Russia, Moscow, and Tobolsk. Ezekiel 39:2 (ASV) refers to these places as “the uttermost parts of the north.” What is mentioned concerning Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39 will occur before the millennium, whereas the record concerning them in Revelation will transpire after the millennium. Revelation 20:8 shows that Satan’s deceiving of the nations which are in the four corners of the earth is his deceiving of Gog and Magog. This may indicate that in the last rebellion of mankind against God, Gog and Magog will take the lead and that the nations will follow. Notice that Satan will “deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog.” According to this verse, Gog and Magog equal the nations in the four corners of the earth. But are Gog and Magog actually the nations in the four corners of the earth? No. Therefore, this must indicate that Gog and Magog will take the lead among the nations to rebel against God under Satan’s instigation. Consider today’s world situation. All the communist countries are under the influence or control of Russia, that is, under Gog and Magog. When Satan instigates Gog and Magog to rebel, he will actually instigate the nations in the four corners of the earth to rebel, for all the communist countries will follow Russia. Thus, this verse indicates that, due to her powerful influence, Russia, a leading nation, will affect the other nations and lead them in rebellion. Because man’s rebellious nature is so deeply rooted in his being, it will still be present even after the thousand years. In which part of the earth are people the most rebellious against God? The answer certainly is Russia. The Bible does not leave us in ignorance regarding this matter. If we read the Bible carefully in the light of today’s world situation, we shall worship God. The Bible clearly indicates that the source of mankind’s rebellion is in the uttermost part of the north, in the land of Gog and Magog, in Russia. The thought of rebellion against God is deeply rooted in the people in this part of the earth. I believe that this part of the earth is what the book of Revelation calls “the third part” (8:7). Fifty years ago I became familiar with the biblical prophecies, but I did not see the fulfillment of very many of them. But today a number of prophecies have been fulfilled already. Perhaps after a short while, many more prophecies will also be fulfilled. According to my study of biblical prophecy, the earth today does have a part, the third part, that is very dark. Even after the thousand years the people in this part of the earth will join Satan to rebel against God. The number of those who rebel against God will be “as the sand of the sea.” What country can raise such a large number of people? Certainly the answer is Russia and the communist countries under her influence. The communist countries have away to stir up people, and they will gather their people together for this last war. Verse 9 says that the nations will surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city. The camp of the saints is the lodging of the overcoming believers, who are the heavenly armies (19:14) camping on earth. We, the heavenly armies, will be there camping, and the nations under the influence of Gog and Magog will attack us. The beloved city is the city of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of the remnant of Israel. The overcoming believers and the remnant of Israel will be God’s faithful people on earth in the millennium, standing with God and for God. At the end of the millennium, Satan will instigate rebellious mankind from the uttermost parts of the north to attack them. How Satan will hate these two places, the camp of the saints and the beloved city! However, fire will come down out of heaven and devour the rebels. Praise the Lord, He will easily defeat this attack!
三 撒但被扔在火湖里
C. Satan Being Cast into the Lake of Fire
5十节说，『那迷惑他们的魔鬼，被扔在硫磺火湖里，也就是兽和假申言者所在的地方；他们必昼夜受痛苦，直到永永远远。』火湖是为魔鬼和他的使者豫备的。（太二五41。）兽和假申言者并马太二十五章三十二至三十三节、四十一节的山羊，要比魔鬼早一千年被扔在火湖里；（启十九20；）一千年以后，魔鬼也要被扔在火湖里。在千年国以后，人类背叛的天性要完全得以除净，撒但要被扔在火湖里。
5Verse 10 says, “And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also the beast and the false prophet were; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.” The lake of fire is prepared for the Devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41). However, the beast, the false prophet, and the “goats” in Matthew 25 will be cast into it a thousand years earlier than the Devil (19:20). After the thousand years, the Devil will be cast there also. After the millennium, the rebellious nature of mankind will be thoroughly purged, and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire
6并非所有的列国都会有分于这末次的背叛。那些没有背叛神，千年国的国民，要被迁入新天新地，成为那里的万民。启示录二十一章二十四至二十七节说到围绕新耶路撒冷的列国，他们背叛的天性已经完全被除净了。这是何等大的清理！在千年国末了，神子民的不成熟要被消除，人类背叛的天性要被除净，撒但也要被扔在火湖里；只有那些不信的死人、死亡和阴间、以及鬼，还需要受对付。这将要在白色大宝座前进行。
6Not all the nations will participate in the last rebellion. Those citizens of the millennial kingdom who do not rebel against God will be transferred into the new heaven and the new earth to become the nations there. Revelation 21:24-27 speaks of the nations around the New Jerusalem. These nations will be fully purged of their rebellious nature. What a great clearance this will be! At the end of the millennium the immaturity of God’sp eople will be eliminated, the rebellious nature of mankind will be purged, and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire. Only the unbelieving dead, death and Hades, and the demons will still need to be dealt with. This will take place at the great white throne
贰 白色大宝座前的审判
II. THE JUDGMENT AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
一 白色大宝座表征主在那里的审判是公义的
A. A Great White Throne Signifying That the Judgment of the Lord There Is Righteous
7十一节说，『我又看见一个白色的大宝座和那坐在上面的，从祂面前天地都逃遁，再无可见之处了。』白色在这里表征公义，指明主审判的大宝座是公义的。
7Verse 11 says, “And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.” White here signifies righteousness, indicating that the Lord’s great throne for His judgment is righteous
二 坐在宝座上的那一位
B. The One Sitting upon the Throne
8基督就是坐在白色大宝座上的那一位。十一节的『祂』必是主耶稣。父神已将审判的事全交与子，（约五22，）并且设立祂作审判活人死人的那一位。（徒十42，十七31，提后四1，罗二16。）马太二十五章三十一至四十六节说到祂在千年国以前，是审判活人的；这里说到祂在千年国以后，是审判死人的。
8Christ is the One sitting upon the great white throne. The “Him” in verse 11 must be the Lord Jesus. God the Father “has given all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22) and has ordained Him to be the Judge of the living and the dead (Acts 10:42; 17:31; 2 Tim. 4:1; Rom. 2:16). Matthew 25:31-46 speaks of the Lord as the Judge of the living before the millennium. Here, the Lord is the Judge of the dead after the millennium
三 天地都逃遁
C. The Earth and Heaven Fleeing Away
9十一节说，天地都从坐在宝座上的那一位面前逃遁，再无可见之处了。旧天旧地要改变，（来一11～12，）旧天要过去，旧天的元素要被烧化，旧地也要被烧尽了。（彼后三10。）
9Verse 11 says that earth and heaven will flee away from the face of the One on the throne and that no place will be found for them. The old heavens and the old earth will be changed (Heb. 1:11-12). The old heavens will pass away, the elements will melt, and the earth will be burned up (2 Pet. 3:10
四 已死的不信之人受审判
D. The Dead Unbelievers Being Judged
10十二节说，『我又看见死了的，无论大小，都站在宝座前。案卷展开了，并且另有一卷展开，就是生命册。死了的都凭著这些案卷所记载的，照他们所行的受审判。』这里的『站』指明死了的人已经复活。这是指千年国以后不信者的复活，就是审判的复活。（约五28～29，林前十五23～24。）不信的死人要凭著案卷上所记载的受审判。这些书卷记载著不信者的工作和行为，他们要照所记载的受审判。另一卷展开的案卷，就是生命册，这是信徒的名册。（启十三8，十七8，路十20。）不信之人要凭著案卷上所记载的，照他们所行的受审判；凡他们所说所行的，都记载在这些案卷上。在马太十二章三十六节主耶稣说，『我还告诉你们，人所说的每句闲话，在审判的日子，都必须供出来。』每句闲话都记载下来了。宇宙的录音机录下了人所说的每句话。在白色大宝座前，案卷要展开，主要对不信的死人说，『这是你所说的，这是你所作的。』每张口都要被堵住。神是神，祂要注意到每个人。
10Verse 12 says, “And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by the things which were written in the books, according to their works.” The word standing here indicates that the dead have been resurrected. This is the resurrection of the unbelievers, the resurrection of judgment, after the millennium (John 5:28-29; 1 Cor. 15:23-24). The unbelieving dead will be judged by the things written in the books, or scrolls (Gk.). These scrolls are the record of the works, the deeds, of the unbelievers, according to which they will be judged. The other book that is open, the book of life, is the record of the names of the believers (13:8; 17:8; Luke 10:20). The unbelievers will be judged by the things written in the books, according to their works. All they have said and done is written in these scrolls. In Matthew 12:36 the Lord Jesus said, “And I say to you that every idle word which men shall speak, they shall render account concerning it in the day of judgment.” Every idle word is recorded. The universal tape recorder records every word men say. At the great white throne the scrolls will be opened, and the Lord will say to the unbelieving dead, “This is what you have said, and this is what you have done.” Every mouth will be shut. God is God; He will take care of everyone.
五 鬼受审判
E. The Demons Being Judged
11十三节说，『海交出其中的死者。』那些溺毙海中的不信者，既包含在阴间的死人中，这里海所交出的死者，就不包括不信的人类；这些死者可能是亚当以前的时代中，（见创世记生命读经第二篇，）那些活类的灵（即现今的鬼－太八31～32，十二43。）这也许指明，现今的鬼要和不信的人类，一同在白色大宝座前受审判。
11Verse 13 says that “the sea gave up the dead which were in it.” Since the dead unbelievers who were drowned in the sea are included among those in Hades, the dead given up by the sea must not be any unbelieving human beings; they may be the spirits of the living beings of the pre-Adamic age, the demons in this age (Matt. 8:31-32; 12:43). This may indicate that today’s demons will be judged at the great white throne along with the unbelieving human beings.
12不仅是人，还有鬼也要在白色大宝座前受审判，你听到这个也许会很吃惊。我再说，认识圣经不是容易的事。大多数的基督徒读圣经，都以为海所交出的死者就是那些溺毙海中的人。但溺毙于海中的必然包括在死亡和阴间所交出的死者中。请注意十三节还说，『死亡和阴间也交出其中的死者。』由此我们看见，海所交出的死者必是另一类的东西。我们在创世记生命读经第二篇信息里曾指出，在亚当以前的时代有一些有灵的活类。当神在撒但的背叛中审判了撒但和他的跟随者之后，这些活类就成了鬼，海就成了牠们的住处，为这缘故，鬼使猪群闯入海中。（太八31～32。）因此，海要交出所有的鬼，牠们要在白色大宝座前受审判。
12You may be shocked to hear that not only human beings but also demons will be judged at the great white throne. Again I say that it is not a simple matter to know the Bible. Most Christian readers think that the dead given up by the sea are those drowned in the sea. But those who drowned in the sea are certainly included among those given up by death and Hades. Notice that verse 13 also says, “And death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them.” By this we see that the dead given up by the sea must be another category of beings. In message two in our life-study of Genesis we pointed out that in the pre-Adamic age there were some living beings with spirits. After God’s judgment upon Satan and those who followed him in his rebellion, these beings became demons, and the sea became their dwelling place. For this reason, the demons caused the swine to rush into the sea (Matt. 8:31-32). Thus, the sea will give up all the demons, who will then be judged at the great white throne
六 死亡和阴间被扔在火湖里
F. Death and Hades Being Cast into the Lake of Fire
13十四节说，『死亡和阴间也被扔在火湖里，这火湖就是第二次的死。』火湖是整个宇宙的垃圾箱；一切消极的事物，包括死亡和阴间，都要被扔在其中。死亡是主最后所要毁灭的仇敌。（林前十五26。）
13Verse 14 says, “And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.” The lake of fire is the “trash can” for the entire universe, into which all negative things, including death and Hades, will be cast. Death will be the last enemy destroyed by the Lord (1 Cor. 15:26
14堕落的人在第一次的死里，魂和灵与身体分开，并灭亡于阴间受苦的地方。（启十六22～24。）在第二次的死里，魂和灵与复活的身体重新联结，然后与身体一同被扔进火湖里。这是说，不信者的全人－灵、魂、体，都要在火湖永远的痛苦里灭亡。
14In the first death, the soul and spirit are separated from the body and, in the case of the unbelievers, are kept in the suffering section of Hades (Luke 16:22-24). In the second death, the soul and spirit of the unbelievers, after being rejoined to the body in resurrection, will be cast with the body into the lake of fire. This means that an unbeliever’s whole being—spirit, soul, and body— will perish in eternal torment in the lake of fire
七 无论谁在生命册上不见是记著的，就被扔在火湖里
G. Anyone Not Found in the Book of Life Being Cast into the Lake of Fire
15十五节说，『无论谁在生命册上不见是记著的，就被扔在火湖里。』那些灭亡的不信者，虽是12-照著记载他们所行的案卷受审判，（启二十12～13，）却要照著生命册被扔在火湖里。这指明他们虽因恶行被主定罪，却因不信，名字没有记在生命册上而灭亡。不相信主耶稣，乃是惟一使人灭亡的罪。（约十六9。）火湖原是为魔鬼和他的使者豫备的。（太二五41。）不信的人既然跟随魔鬼，就要有分于魔鬼的审判，（约十六11，）并同受魔鬼下火湖的永远痛苦。鬼既也跟随魔鬼，就也要遭到同样的定命。
15Verse 15 says, “And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” The perishing unbelievers will be judged according to the books, which are a record of their works (vv. 13), but they will be cast into the lake of fire according to the book of life. This indicates that they are condemned by the Lord because of their evil deeds, but they perish because of their unbelief, not having their names written in the book of life. Not believing in the Lord Jesus is the unique sin that causes people to perish (John 16:9). The lake of fire is prepared for the Devil and his angels. Since the unbelievers have followed the Devil, they share the Devil’s judgment (John 16:11) and will become joint - partakers of the Devil’s eternal torment. The demons, also having followed the Devil, will share the same destiny.
