"And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15
It should not be a surprise that the last few chapters of the Bible would describe the end of every being which God has created. Let us look at each category of created beings and their respective fates:
The Beast and the False Prophet:
These two evil beings who will lead multitudes to worship the antichrist and Satan and will kill all those who would refuse to receive the mark of the beast will be thrown into lake of fire at the end of the seven-year great tribulation.
"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone." (Rev. 19:20)
The Dragon Who is the Devil and Satan:
Once the most beautiful and powerful of all created beings named Lucifer, he became the devil or Satan after rebelling against God and has since the creation of Adam and Eve never ceased to tempt humans in order to bring as many souls to hell as possible. His end will be the same as that of the beast and the false prophet after he is loosed from captivity in the bottomless pit after 1000 years peace on earth.
"The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rev. 20:10)
Unbelievers:
These include not only those who denied Christ as God and Savior but all who refused to make the decision to repent and follow Christ as their Lord and Savior. Their end will be with the devil and the beast and the false prophet.
"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (Rev. 20:11-15)
Followers of Christ:
These are those who Jesus calls His disciples, followers of Christ, those who are born again in the family of God, saints, and many other names all describing the same thing, that is, these all obey the commandments of God and of Christ.
"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." (Rev. 22:14-15)
Here is the most important question you will have to answer; your response will determine your eternal destiny or fate: Which category of people do you belong, the unbelievers who do not obey Christ or the believers who follow Christ at all cost?
