Revelation 21:8:
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. |
This bright Gem betrays a most horrible destiny.
The Apostle John provides a comprehensive list of transgressors
ranging from the abominable to the liars. Who among mankind
could conscientiously exclude him or her self from the group identified
by this list? It is not just those who commit heinous acts
against God that are in jeopardy of the fate pictured in this Gem. Even simple liars have earned
the eternal fate described by John as being cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone. This fate is otherwise known as the second
death. Such Gems as this one bolsters the declaration of the
first Gem examined in this Drawer
"The wages of sin is Death!" And this particular Gem
reinforces that any sin
warrants this fate.
