10 And (A)the devil who (B)deceived them was thrown into the (C)lake of fire and [a]brimstone, where the (D)beast and the (E)false prophet are also; and they will be (F)tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment at the Throne of God

11 Then I saw a great white (G)throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose [b]presence (H)earth and heaven fled, and (I)no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the (J)great and the small, standing before the throne, and [c](K)books were opened; and another [d]book was opened, which is (L)the book of life; and the dead (M)were judged from the things which were written in the [e]books, (N)according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and (O)Death and Hades (P)gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them (Q)according to their deeds. 14 Then (R)Death and Hades were thrown into (S)the lake of fire. This is the (T)second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if [f]anyone’s name was not found written in (U)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The New Heaven and Earth

21 Then I saw (V)a new heaven and a new earth; for (W)the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw (X)the holy city, (Y)new Jerusalem, (Z)coming down out of heaven from God, (AA)prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, (AB)the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will (AC)dwell among them, and they shall be His [g]people, and God Himself will be among them[h], and He will (AD)wipe away every tear from their eyes; and (AE)there will no longer be any death; (AF)there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; (AG)the first things have passed away.”

And (AH)He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am (AI)making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for (AJ)these words are faithful and true.”

The Judgment of the Dead

11 Then I saw a great white throne(F) and him who was seated on it.

A New Heaven and a New Earth

He who was seated on the throne(AF) said, “I am making everything new!”(AG) Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”(AH)
