Revelation 21:8


But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”


  • ·        But the Jesus-rejecting and apostate are specifically prohibited from entering the New Jerusalem. (DG)

  • ·        Cowardly: Is cowardice enough to send a person to hell? “John is not speaking of natural timidity, but of that cowardice which in the last resort chooses self and safety before Christ.” (Morris) John Trapp spoke of these “Cowardly recreants, white-livered milk-sops, that pull in their horns for every pile of grass that toucheth them, that are afraid of every new step.”  (DG)

Psalm 89:46  How long, LORD?  Will You hide Yourself forever?  Will Your wrath burn like fire?

Isaiah 1:31  The strong shall be as tinder, and the work of it as a spark; both will burn together, and no one shall quench.
