Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 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 from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Amen.

It is interesting that in that one paragraph of Revelation 20:11-15 lies the entire synopsis of human destiny, from beginning, to end.

All of our failures, all of our "accomplishments", all of our hopes, loves, dreams, and also, our terrible sins against a Holy and all powerful God.

As Christ told us; the door is open to grace, but few take it. The path Hell is wide, and most take that way.
