1. The Seven Wonders
of Hell
Revelation 20:11-15

2. Revelation 20:11-15
• Revelation 20:11-15 Then I saw a great white throne and
Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before
God, and books were opened. And another book was
opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were
judged according to their works, by the things which were
written in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead who were
in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were
in them. And they were judged, each one according to his
works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. 15And anyone not found
written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

• 2 Peter 2.20-22 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of
the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the
latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21For it would
have been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy
commandment delivered to them. 22But it has happened to
them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own
vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the
mire."

there few who are saved?" And He said to them, 24"Strive to enter
through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and
will not be able. 25When once the Master of the house has risen up and
shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door,
saying, "Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you, "I
do not know you, where you are from,' 26then you will begin to say,
"We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.'
27But He will say, "I tell you I do not know you, where you are from.
Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.' 28There will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

45. Worm Never Dies
• Mark 9:43-48 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is

hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
44where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not
quenched.' 45And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is
better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to
be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
46where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not
quenched.' 47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It
is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye,
rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire-- 48where
"Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.'
