Bible References

The sea

Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

And death

Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God].

So I looked, and behold, an ashen (pale greenish gray) horse [like a corpse, representing death and pestilence]; and its rider’s name was Death; and Hades (the realm of the dead) was following with him. They were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead)?
Shall I redeem them from death?

O death, where are your thorns?

O Sheol, where is your sting?
Compassion is hidden from My eyes [because of their failure to repent].

Now I say this, believers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit nor be part of the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (mortal) inherit the imperishable (immortal).

And they

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth].

‘Is it not laid up in store with Me,
Sealed up in My treasuries?

And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the nations with fairness (equity).

For God will bring every act to judgment, every hidden and secret thing, whether it is good or evil.

For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible].
