Revelation 20:13-15

13 And the sea delivered up the dead who were in it, death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done [according to their motives, aims, and works].

• Once again the Truth is that everyone's works will not stand up. No ones motives or works will ever be counted as righteous.
• As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. Romans 3:10
• So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groaning's too deep for utterance. Romans 8:26
• For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32
• The Truth is that everyone would be judged guilty here if it wasn’t for Grace.
• But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless]. Romans 11:6
• Jesus has been given control over all flesh, all, not just some, not just those who believe now, but all flesh. 
• [Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2
• Jesus has been given such control over all of us, so that He may give eternal life to all that He has been given and eternal life is to know God, John 17:3
• Our Father would that all men be saved and our Father gets His way. Some have told me that He doesn’t, but show me in the Bible were it ever tells us that. Go ask Jonah if our Father gets His way.
• So here is the Truth, everyone's name has to be in the Book of Life. Some have the reward of being the Bride of Christ, some have lost that reward, yet they are still allowed to have eternal life as our guests, 1 Corinthians 3:15. But either way Jesus was very successful at the Cross in insuring that all mankind will spend eternity with our Father, Who is God.

14 Then death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

• Death will be done away with, so of course Hades will no longer be needed. Death and Hades will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and so they will cease to exist, just like everything that is thrown into the Lake of Fire will cease to exist.
• For the Son of man came to save [from the penalty of eternal death] that which was lost.  Matthew 18:11

15 And if anyone’s [name] was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

• Well then, as one man’s trespass [one man’s false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man’s act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. Romans 5:18
• For the Son of man came to save [from the penalty of eternal death] that which was lost.  Matthew 18:11
• These verses are intense I know. This Blog is just a starting point, it is not intended to be a complete study of the Truth. That occurs face to face, with a group of believers, Revelation 1:3. This is only a brief discussion of the Truth.
