Judgment Before the Great White Throne

11 Then I saw a great white throne and one who sat upon it. The [fn]earth and the sky fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, [fn]great and small, standing before [fn]the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their works. 13 Then the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each person was judged according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. [fn]This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
