Revelation 6:9-11
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
• The Bible reveals that the soul dies naturally
Ezekiel 18:4,20
“Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
• John sees a vision of things that will happen
• John sees Jesus Christ opening seven seals
• Showing what will happen in the End Times
Revelation 5:5
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
Revelation 4:1
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
• John was in the Spirit when he saw the opening of seven seals showing things to come
Revelation 4:2
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
• Since John was just in the Spirit
• This indicates that the things he saw in his vision
• Are genuine
• They are things that will happen anyway
• John was shown the things published in heaven that will happen on earth in the future
• These things are heavenly enactments
• Nothing can stop them from happening
• It is the law of heaven that these things must end up happening.When the event is enacted, no one can prevent it from happening.
• When Jesus Christ opens the Fifth Seal,John sees the souls of those who were killed
Revelation 6:9
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
• Jesus Christ revealed while on earth that a time of tribulation will come
• The time of trouble will come on earth.This is the Seven year period of Tribulation
• The Fifth sign symbolically means the Great Tribulation.The Great Tribulation is last half of the seven year tribulation,that is, the 3 1/2 years of the tribulation
• Jesus Christ spoke about the Great Tribulation that will happen on earth
Matthew 24:9-28
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
• During the Middle Ages, saints were killed for their faith
• And because of their testimony about Christ
• The Middle Ages is the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of modern Europe
• The Middle Ages began in 476 AD
• At that time, the Roman Empire lost its power to rule the world
• The Roman Empire ruled the world strongly at the time of Jesus Christ’s birth
• Jesus Christ was born under the kingdom ruled by the Roman Empire Antichrist
• Jesus Christ will return for the Second Coming when the earth is ruled by the Antichrist
2 Thessalonians 2.8
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
• The Middle Ages ended between 1400 and 1450 AD
• Believers were killed during the Middle Ages
• They will be killed again during the Tribulation period
• The seven year tribulation period is about to take place,and immediately after the Rapture
• The believers who were killed (martyred) through the tribulation will be told to wait until the number of saints who will be killed like them is completed.
• Then God will avenge their blood on those who dwell on the earth
Revelation 6:10-11
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
• The human soul and flesh die but we will rise again to eternal life
• The resurrection of Jesus Christ is an evidence that all those who believe in Him will also be resurrected
Acts 2:26-27
Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
• During the tribulation there are Servants who will preach the Word of God with power
• They will not give up and stop preaching. The Holy Spirit will give them more power to persist and endure the pains of torture and torment due to their faith in the Lord
• God says that the angels must not harm the world until he has put a seal on his 144000 servants from the tribes of Israel
Revelation 7:3-4
saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed
• In this book, the Bible talks about the placing of a mark on the foreheads of the 12 tribes of Israel
• In each tribe of Israel 12000 Servants are sealed
Revelation 7:4–8
And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
It is the blood of the Lamb that keeps us reconciled to God
- The blood of Jesus Christ sets us free from slavery to sin and Satan’s control
- The blood of Jesus Christ is powerful 1 Peter 1:18-19
- knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
- Also the brothers of the time of tribulation
- They will wash their clothes white in the blood of the lamb Revelation 7:14 And I said to her: “My Lord, you are the one who knows.” Then he said to me: “These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, they washed their clothes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
- Jesus Christ died on the cross,
- • His blood bought us from every nation • From every tribe • And from every language • We just walk bought with the blood of Jesus Christ Revelation 5:9 They sang a new word, and said: “You are worthy to take the book and open its seals, because you were sacrificed and bought for God with your blood from all families, languages, peoples, and nations, • The blood of Jesus Christ was shed for the forgiveness of our sins Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he himself is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sins. • Satan tries in every way to accuse us • But but we overcome by the blood of the Lamb. Romans 8:1-2 Thus there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death. • In Kwelika Moya we were chained • Jesus Christ came into our lives and set us free • Now we are spiritually free from the bondage of sin
- John 8:35-36 A slave does not live forever in the house; but the son lives forever. Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. • Jesus Christ did not come to earth to hear crimes • But Jesus Christ has come to free the imprisoned world • Through Jesus Christ, God wants to speak and save the world • Those who believe in Jesus Christ will be saved John 3:17-18 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in it is judged; the unbeliever is still judged, because he did not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God. • All who believe in the blood of God’s son will be saved • Whether in the past • Today or in the Future • As long as they believe in Jesus • We are saved the blood of the lamb • We win through the blood of Jesus Christ • Until now, Jesus Christ may be sitting at the right hand of God • Jesus Christ intercedes for us every day
Romans 8:33-35 • Who will accuse the elect of God? God is just; who condemns? Christ Jesus who died, yes indeed, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, is the one who intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Or suffering, or delay, or hunting, or famine, or wandering, or danger, or the sword? • Through Jesus Christ we are more than conquerors, despite everything in the devil’s arsenal that he can hit us with anything. Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. • Let’s not let anyone accuse us • Mhlasi was baptized, we were all buried with Christ • We believe that we have been resurrected together with him to a new life • Forgive all our sins • All the charges that Satan put on us Jesus Christ with his blood are erased • We come out innocent in Satan’s false court
Colossians 2:12-16 You were buried with him in baptism, and you were raised with him by faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead. And you who were dead in the transgressions and uncircumcision of your flesh made you alive together with him forgiving all our sins; having saved the document of our case, which opposed us with its instructions, he removed it by nailing it to the cross; having stripped the rulers and the powerful of their weapons, he shamed them publicly, thereby defeating them. Therefore let no one condemn you for food and drink, or for festivals, or for the new moon, or for the Sabbaths, • When Satan accuses us, we must tell him that “ I am freed from the chains of sin • I have been set free • There is Our believing brothers died before Jesus Christ’s first advent • Jesus Christ’s first advent is His first coming as a baby • As a child • As youth • As an adult • As a preacher • As a teacher • To die for our sins • Then there will be our brothers who will believe in the tribulation period • Then it is for the Church of God we believe in the Church Age • What is common to all of these brothers is that • All are saved by blood • And all must believe that their sins are forgiven by the shed blood • Brothers of the Old Testament, God provided for the blood of sacrificial animals without blemish • It was an old covenant • Today is a time of new compassion • The covenant of the blood of Jesus Christ • This is the time of the Church Age • The time of tribulation (After the Rapture) and the Church Age • God provided us with the blood of his son John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” • All of us who have salvation by blood belong to the kingdom of God forever • What is common for us to say • Our sins are forgiven • This makes us qualify to live with God forever • The blood reconciles us to God Daniel 7:27 The kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the nation of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; all kingdoms will serve him and obey him.’ Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones; they dwell in them, they are given judgment; I also saw the souls of those who were beheaded for testifying about Jesus and for the word of God, and those who did not pray to the beast and its image, and who did not accept the mark of the beast on their foreheads and on their hands; they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years • All three of these blood brothers will return with Jesus Christ at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ • They will enter the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ • Jesus Christ will rule the world for a thousand years • The Millennial Kingdom is the coming reign of Jesus Christ • Taking the throne of David here on earth in Jerusalem in Israel. • All who enter the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ will be redeemed by God • They will have their sins forgiven • They were made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ so that they can live forever with God
Take note that the tribe of Dan is missing from the list of the servants sealed in their foreheads in Revelation 7:4–8.
Revelation 7:4–8 lists 144,000 “sealed” or protected servants of God who will minister during the tribulation of the end times. The sealed comprise 12,000 individuals from each of the twelve tribes of Israel: Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. For some reason, the tribe of Dan is not listed; in its place is Manasseh, which is one of the two tribes that came from Joseph.
• Let’s not forget that Israel is a nation of God in which the King of kings, Jesus Christ, was born
• It is God’s will that he chooses among the people of God’s people who he will put His seal of protection on
• It is the same for us as we are the Church of God,and God has chosen us to be his children
• He gave those who received him the power to become God’s children
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name
According to John
• The state of being sealed by God over 144,000 of our brothers,will happen during the seven year tribulation period which is the time when the Church of God has been raptured
Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
• The sealing of 144000 Israelitesi is a proof that
• When the Church of God is caught up to heaven
• There is an opportunity for people who did not believe in Jesus Christ during the Church Age to repent and get saved
• The 144000 Jews will proclaim the gospel during the tribulation period.
• The preaching service will be done by these 144000 Brethren in the world
• This means that this gospel of salvation through Christ will be preached like never before.The 144000 believers will strongly preach the Gospel of salvation through Christ
• There is salvation during the tribulation
• There is no salvation beyond death
Revelation 7:9-17
• The people who will miss the Rapture will still have the opportunity to surrender their lives to the God, believe in Jesus Christ and receive salvation.
• Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
• As long as they are alive they can still be saved
• But remember that salvation of a person takes place here on earth while they are still alive
• When the Church is raptured, some will remain,while others go to heaven
• Which people will be left behind?
• In the church denominations we will not all be raptured
• Amongst us there are people who do not go to Church because they believe in Jesus Christ
• Some people will go to Church for completely different reasons .They will attend Church services for
• Burial service when when they pass on
• Their parents were members of the Church
. All family members or a friend or neighbour belong to the church
• They go to Church to meet their friends
• I want to be seen by people that I attend Church services
. I play a keyboard in the Church
• The instruments ,together with the music, is good in the Church
• Such persos never bothered themselves with accepting Jesus Christ their personal saviour
• They do not trust Him either
• If a person dies without believing in Jesus Christ, it is over for them
.They go straight to eternal condemnation
• Their sins are not forgiven
• They did not take the opportunity to reconcile with God through the blood of Jesus Christ while they are still on earth
Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the sign of the living God, and he called out with a loud voice to the four angels who were given to see the earth and the sea,
• They prefer to die in the darkness
• If a person does not believe in Jesus Christ now there is no chance of salvation after death
• Revelation 7:2-4
Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
• The placing of God’s seal on the foreheads of 144000 Brethren was done by angels sent by God
• Now is the time for the opening of the sixth seal of the tribulation period
Revelation 6: 9 -17
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
• The Brethren were given the seals of God from all the 12 tribes of Israel
Revelation 7:9-17 shows that apart from the 144000 saints from the tribes of Israel
• there are other believers who accepted Jesus Christ during the tribulation
• After the Rapture
• This passage means that there are many of our people who will have the opportunity to repent after the Rapture ,during the tribulation period.
Revelation 8:1
When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
• The 144000 people from Israel are literal people in Israel
• This is not a metaphor
• The 14000 people from the tribes of Israel will surely receive the mark of God
•And the 144000 people from Israel are not the only people who will enter heaven on earth
Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
• The 14000 people who receive the seal of God are only the Jews.They are not the people from other parts of the world.God remembers Israel.Israel is a nation of God.At the beginning,the Israelites were not willing to accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.The Gentiles accepted Jesus Christ without doubt.Those Gentiles who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal saviour are saved.
• Now the tribes of Israel who receive the seal of God will be saved and their salvation will be sealed
• They have special protection from God
• They will be protected from judgment from God.They will not be eternally condemned
• They will be protected from the Antichrist.They will not pray and worship the Antichrist
• Nothing will take them away from God as their salvation is sealed by God.Likewise,our salvation as the Church is sealed.No one will take us away from God.We are permanently saved.
• We are the Church of God with the mark of God
• We are saved forever
• Nothing can take us away from God
• The 144000 Jews will preach during the seven year tribulation period
• It is prophesied that Israel will be saved and return to God
Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
Romans 11:25–27
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”
• These 144000 Jews will turn and evangelize in the post Rapture world
Revelation 14:1-5
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
• This crowd seen by John will believe in Jesus Christ during the tribulation period
• BEWARE !!!
• There are others who have a teaching that is not supported by the Bible about the 144,000 Jews
• They say the 144,000 is the total number of people who will enter heaven and rule with Jesus Christ in heaven
• They say heaven is full.They say we are wasting our time if we tell people to accept Jesus Christ
• They call this 144000 “heavenly hope.”
• They say that those who are not in the list of the 144000 will enjoy what they call the “earthly hope”
• What they call a paradise on earth that will be ruled by Jesus Christ
• They say Jesus Christ will rule the world with the help of the 144,000 people who are already in heaven right now
• It is true that during “the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ” Jesus Christ will rule the world.
• Jesus Christ will return to rule Israel and the world with his Church.We are the Church and we shall rule with Jesus Christ during the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ
• The Church are all people who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in their lives
• Those who will rule the world with Jesus Christ, the Bible calls them
• Church of God
• The Bride of the Lamb
1 Corinthians 6:2-3
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
• All Brethren received salvation through the one blood of Jesus Christ
Brethren who are still alive now should believe in Jesus Christ
• They will be saved
• We must still believe in Jesus Christ even if it costs us to be killed
• “Martyred” means slain for their faith
• Currently in some countries Christians are killed if they continue to admit that Jesus Christ is Lord and savior
• This means that if it means death we must accept death and die in the Lord
• It is a blessing
• Do not deny Jesus Christ because you are afraid of death
• We are to believe in the Salvation through Christ even up to death
Revelation 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”
• The power of Jesus Christ to save us is in his blood
• Without the blood of Jesus Christ there is no salvation
• Those who were born again themselves overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb
• They overcame with the word of their testimony,
• And they did not love their lives until death
Revelation 12:10-11
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
• During the tribulation in the end times, Satan’s anger against God’s people will be very high
• It will be very intense
• Brothers must overcome by faith
• If they believe in the word of God, they will defeat Satan
• If the brothers testify about Christ, they will have courage
• Don’t retreat and win
• A person who speaks about Christ
• Testify about him even when the war is hot, he stands in faith
• Dealing with Satan is not easy
• It takes brothers and sistersinvest in the death of Jesus Christ
.invest in the death of Jesus Christ
. to be active in witnessing
. to be willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of Christ, including death
• Satan wants us in every way to return to the slavery of sin
• But day by day
• And night by night
• We need to overcome by the blood of the Lamb
• By the blood of Jesus Christ
Revelation 12:11
.And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
• Satan’s main goal with man is to end the good relationship we have with God
• Satan knows that if we believe in Jesus Christ
• Our sins have been washed away
• We are forgiven of our transgressions
• We are not going to hell
• We are going to live with God forever
• So Satan roars like a lion and wants to see us perish
• We die forever with him in hell

I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; books were opened; another book was opened, about life; and the dead are judged by what is written in the books according to their works. And the sea brought out the dead that were in it, and death and Hades brought out the dead that were in it, and each was judged according to his works. Death and Hades* were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

2 kings 23:29–30
In his days, Pharaoh Necho, the king of Egypt, went up to the king of Assyria by the river Euphrates; king Josiah went to meet him; He killed him at Megiddo, it is enough to see him. His servants took him dead from Megiddo in a cart, took him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his grave. The people of the country took Josiah’s son Jehoahaz, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
