20:13
All who had died were given up to face the judgement of God, whether they had died at sea or whatever. Sometimes people think death is an escape, but this is not true if one is hoping to escape judgement for our sins. All will have to give an account to God for what they have done.
20:14,15
Death and Hades were then thrown into the lake of fire. So Death and Hades will be no more. This is the second death, the final death. And all those whose name was not found in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. So there is an escape from being thrown into the lake of fire, and that is to have one’s name written in the book of life. So we must never deny Christ. The consequences of maintaining our faith in Christ maybe very severe, but the cost of not holding fast to Christ are much, much greater. And the consequences for those who persecute Christians is far worse than anything they can inflict on believers.
