face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place
for them.
12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened, which is The Book Of Life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in
the books, according to their works.
13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works.
14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death.

And whosoever was not found written in The Book Of Life was cast into
the lake of fire.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and The Ancient Of Days did
sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like
the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as
burning fire.

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: thousand
thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
