WRITING THE NAMES IN THE BOOK 303 one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil".-Hebrews 2 :14, NW. 8 Now comes total abolition of the death due to Adam : "And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire . This means the second death, the lake of fire . Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire." Revelation 20 :14, 15, NW Those acting rebellious during the thousand years prove unfit to be enrolled in the book of life and they would be plunged into the lake of fire, the second death, without waiting for the final general test at the close of the millennium. Their submerging in the lake of everlasting destruction would not mean the continuance forever of death due to Adam . No ; for the fiery, sulphurous lake symbolizes the "second death", a death not suffered for our natural inheritance from Adam but inflicted for the rebellious sinner who sins out of his own willful choice against God's requirements for life. Second death could at any time throughout eternity be inflicted upon any who might choose to sin . That always remains within God's power . 9 Death and Hades are hurled into the lake of fire to experience everlasting destruction. Hades, mankind's common grave, is destroyed by emptying it of all the dead and by never returning the rebellious sinners to Hades but pitching them into the symbolic lake of fire . Death is destroyed by the sin-removing sacrifice of Jesus Christ which cancels all the disabilities the believers e . a Who of mankind are hurled into the lake of fire? b Does that mean the continuance forever of death due to Adam? Or what? 9 . How are death and Hades cast into the lake of fire? Of what prophecy does this mark the climax for Christ's reign?
