“Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.” – Revelation 20:14
What a glorious moment this will be for everyone who has ever felt the sting of death! As Jesus judges every person who’s ever lived, He also destroys death itself. This hated, feared, vile, and ancient enemy of humanity, will itself be wiped out!
As common as it is, death is an unnatural monstrosity introduced into creation by human sin. Once Jesus returns and completes His Holy work of judgment, sin will be gone. Because sin will be gone, death will also be gone. As the new creation dawns in Jesus Christ, death, the ravenous enemy that has stalked the old creation and everything in it is banished forever. What a joyous moment that will be for every follower of Jesus who has felt the sting of death when parted from loved ones!
It’s difficult for us to even imagine how amazing life will be after that without the presence of death. There will be no more grief and mourning because there will be no more death. We will enjoy God’s presence without having the awareness or fear of time winding down. We will be free to live life boldly and joyously in the light of God without the shadow of Satan’s vile contribution to the world! Look forward to and pray for that glorious day to come! #FollowJesus
