SUMMARY: Torment
OVERVIEW: This chapter includes the thousand-year reign of Christ, the defeat of Satan, and the final judgment.
BIG IDEA: Satan and those whose names are not found in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire.
KEY VERSE: Revelation 20:10 (John’s description)
Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
IF GOD WROTE YOU A LETTER
There is an end to evil. It is coming. And when it does, it will be permanent. The devil and all who follow him will be thrown into the lake of fire and the key will be locked away. They will suffer day and night for eternity. It is my final judgment on evil and will show that although I am a loving God, I am also just.
People always have an opportunity to turn to me. As long as there is breath in their lungs, I am ready and willing to grant forgiveness. But sin will be punished. For those who reject me, I will give them the desire of their heart and never again be in their midst. But that is not my desire. I want all to know me. Pray for those who are far from me. Tell them about me. Share your story. But in the end, we can’t force anyone to believe. Love me with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love others as I have loved you.
NEXT STEP
Pray for your family and friends to know Jesus. Ask God for wisdom in timing and with your words. Share your faith with them prayerfully, faithfully, lovingly, and frequently. Be known as someone who loves God and loves people, not someone who “pushes religion.”
