The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints in heaven between the first and second resurrections. During this time the wicked dead will be judged; the earth will be utterly desolate, without living human inhabitants, but occupied by Satan and his angels. At its close Christ with His saints and the Holy City will descend from heaven to earth. The unrighteous dead will then be resurrected, and with Satan and his angels will surround the city; but fire from God will consume them and cleanse the earth. The universe will thus be freed of sin and sinners forever. (Rev. 20; 1 Cor. 6:2, 3; Jer. 4:23-26; Rev. 21:1-5; Mal. 4:1; Eze. 28:18, 19.)
Throughout history there have been those who have waxed eloquent about the horrors of hell, playing on people's fear in an attempt to bring them to worship God. But what kind of god do they portray?
How will God finally get rid of evil? What will happen to Satan? What will keep sin from erecting its ugly head once more? How can a just God also be loving?
Events at the Beginning of the Millennium
During the millennium, the thousand-year period of which the twentieth chapter of Revelation speaks, Satan's influence over the earth will be restricted, and Christ will reign with His saints (Rev. 20:1-4).
The Second Advent
Revelation 19 and 20 belong together; there is no break between these chapters. They describe Christ's coming (Rev. 19:11-21) and immediately continue with the millennium, their sequence indicating that the millennium begins when Christ returns.
Revelation represents the three powers that gather the nations of the world to oppose Christ's work and His people immediately before the Second Advent, as a dragon, a beast, and a false prophet (Rev. 16:13). When "the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies" assemble to make war against Christ at the time of His return, the beast and the false prophet are destroyed (Rev. 19:19, 20). What follows in Revelation 20, the chapter on the millennium, deals with the fate of the third member of the demonic trio, the dragon. He is taken captive and cast into the bottomless pit, where he remains for 1000 years.
As we saw in chapter 24, it is with Christ's second advent, when the kingdoms of this world are destroyed, that God sets up His kingdom of glory—a kingdom that will last forever (Dan. 2:44). It is then that His people will begin their reign.
The First Resurrection
At the Second Advent the first resurrection takes place. The righteous, the "blessed and holy," are raised—for "over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years" (Rev. 20:6; see chapter 25 of this book).
The Righteous Go to Heaven
After the resurrection of the righteous dead, they and the living saints are caught up "to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17). Then Christ will fulfill the promise He made just before He left this world: "'I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also'" (John 14:2, 3). Jesus described the place to which He will take His followers as "'My Father's house,'" where there are "'many mansions,'" or dwelling places (John 14:2). Here Jesus refers to the New Jerusalem, which does not come to this earth until the end of the millennium. At the Second Advent, then, when the righteous "meet the Lord in the air," their destination is heaven—not the earth that they have just left.Christ does not establish His kingdom of glory on the earth at this time. He does that at the end of the millennium.
Christ's Enemies Are Slain
Christ compared His return to what happened at the Flood and in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Matt. 24:37-39; Luke 17:28-30). His comparison makes two points: first, that the destruction that came caught the wicked by surprise; and second, that what came was destruction—the Flood "'took them all away'" (Matt. 24:39). The fire and brimstone that rained down upon Sodom "'destroyed them all'" (Luke 17:29; see also Matt. 13:38-40). At the Second Advent Christ will descend from heaven with His armies as the rider on the white horse whose name is "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" and strike the rebellious nations of the world. After the beast and the false prophet are destroyed, "the rest" of Satan's followers will die and there will be no survivors, for they "were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh" (Rev. 19:21).
Describing this scene, Scripture has said, "The Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain" (Isa. 26:21).
The Earth Becomes Desolate
Since the righteous ascend to be with the Lord and the wicked are destroyed at His appearing, the earth stands for a time without human inhabitants. Scripture points to such a situation. Jeremiah said, "I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; and the heavens, they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth. I beheld, and indeed there was no man" (Jer. 4:23-25). Jeremiah's use of the terminology found in Genesis 1:2, "without form, and void," indicates that the earth is to become as chaotic as it was at the beginning of Creation.
Satan Is Bound
The events that take place at this time were foreshadowed in the scapegoat ritual of the Day of Atonement in Israel's sanctuary service. On the Day of Atonement the high priest cleansed the sanctuary with the atoning blood of the Lord's goat. Only after this atonement was fully completed did the ritual involving Azazel, the goat that symbolized Satan, begin (see chapter 23). Laying his hands on its head, the high priest confessed "'all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat'" (Lev. 16:21). And the scapegoat was sent into the wilderness, "'an uninhabited land'" (Lev. 16:22).
Similarly, Christ, in the heavenly sanctuary, has been ministering the benefits of His completed atonement to His people; at His return He will redeem them and give them eternal life. When Hehas completed this work of redemption and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, He will place the sins of His people upon Satan, the originator and instigator of evil. In no way can it be said that Satan atones for the sins of believers—Christ has fully done that. But Satan must bear the responsibility of all the sin he has caused those who are saved to commit. And as "a fit man" led the scapegoat into an uninhabited land, so God will banish Satan to the desolate and uninhabited earth (see chapter 23 of this book).
John's vision of the millennium vividly portrayed the banishment of Satan. He saw that at the beginning of the thousand years "the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan" is chained and confined to "the bottomless pit" (Rev. 20:2, 3). This symbolically conveys the temporary ending of Satan's activities of persecution and deception; "he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished" (Rev. 20:3).
The term John uses—"bottomless pit" (Greek, abussos)—appropriately describes the earth's condition at this time.Battered by the seven plagues that immediately precede Christ's coming (see particularly Rev. 16:18-21) and covered with the bodies of the wicked, the earth is a scene of utter desolation.
Confined to this earth, Satan is "bound" by a chain of circumstances. Since the earth is devoid of any human life, Satan has no one to tempt or to persecute. He is bound in the sense that he has nothing to do.
Events During the Millennium
Christ in Heaven With the Redeemed. At His second advent Christ takes His followers to heaven, to the dwelling places He has prepared for them in the New Jerusalem. Like Moses and the Israelites, the redeemed, filled with gratitude, sing a song of their deliverance—"the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: 'Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!" (Rev. 15:3).
The Saints Reign With Christ
It is during the millennium that Christ will fulfill His promise to give the overcomers "'power over the nations'" (Rev. 2:26). Daniel saw that after the destruction of Christ's enemies "'the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High'" (Dan. 7:27). Those whom Christ raises in the first resurrection will reign with Him for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4). But in what sense can the saints be said to reign if they are in heaven and all the wicked are dead? Their reign will consist of involvement in an important phase of Christ's governing.
The Judgment of the Wicked
John saw that during the millennium the saints would be involved in judgment; he saw"thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them (Rev. 20:4). This is the time of the judgment of Satan and his angels that Scripture notes (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6). It's the time when Paul's declaration that the saints would judge the world and even the angels (1 Cor. 6:2, 3) will come to pass.
The millennial judgment does not decide who is to be saved or lost. God makes that decision before the Second Advent; all those who were not either resurrected or translated then are forever lost. The judgment in which the righteous participate serves the purpose of answering any questions the righteous may have as to why the wicked are lost. God wants those to whom He has given eternal life to have full confidence in His leadership, so He will reveal to them the operations of His mercy and justice.
Imagine you were in heaven and you found that one of your loved ones whom you certainly expected to be there was not. Such a case might cause you to question God's justice—and that kind of doubt lies at the very base of sin. To lay to rest forever any occasion for such doubts—and so to ensure that sin will never rise again—God will provide the answers to these questions during this review phase of the millennial judgment.
In this work the redeemed fulfill a crucial role in the great controversy between good and evil. "They will confirm to their eternal satisfaction how earnestly and patiently God cared for lost sinners. They will perceive how heedlessly and stubbornly sinners spurned and rejected His love. They will discover that even seemingly mild sinners secretly cherished ugly selfishness rather than accept the value system of their Lord and Saviour."
Satan's Time for Reflection
During the millennium Satan will suffer intensely. Confined, with his angels, to a desolate earth, he cannot carry on the deceptions that had constantly occupied his time. He is forced to view the results of his rebellion against God and His law; he must contemplate the part he has played in the controversy between good and evil. He can only look to the future with fear for the dreadful penalty he must suffer because of all the evil for which he is responsible.
Events at the End of the Millennium
At the end of the thousand years "the rest of the dead"—the wicked—will be resurrected, thus releasing Satan from the inactivity that has imprisoned him (Rev. 20:5, 7). Deceiving the wicked once again, he leads them against "the camp of the saints and the beloved city [the New Jerusalem]" (Rev. 20:9), which, with Christ, have descended from heaven by this time.
Christ, the Saints, and the City Descend
Christ descends to earth again, with the saints and the New Jerusalem, for two purposes. He will end the great controversy by executing the decisions of the millennial judgment, and He will purifyand renew the earth so that He can establish on it His eternal kingdom. Then, in the fullest sense, "the Lord shall be King over all the earth" (Zech. 14.9).
The Resurrection of Condemnation
Now the moment has arrived that will complete the fulfillment of Christ's promise that "'all who are in the graves will hear His voice'" (John 5:28). At His second advent Christ brought the righteous dead from their graves in the first resurrection, "the resurrection of life." Now the other resurrection Jesus spoke of will take place, "'the resurrection of condemnation'" (John 5:29). Revelation also refers to this resurrection: "The rest of the dead [those who were not raised in the first resurrection] did not live again until the thousand years were finished" (Rev. 20:5).
Satan's Captivity Ends
The resurrection of the wicked at the end of the thousand years releases Satan from his captivity "for a little while" (Rev. 20:3). In his last attempt to challenge God's government he "will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth" (Rev. 20:8). Since the wicked are raised with the same rebellion spirit they each possessed when they died, his work will not be difficult.
The Attack on the City
In his final deception Satan seeks to inspire the wicked with the hope of capturing the kingdom of God by force. Gathering the nations of the world, he leads them against the beloved city (Rev. 20:8, 9)."The wicked who stubbornly refused an entrance into the City of God through the merits of Christ's sacrificial atonement, now determine to gain admission and control by seige and battle."
The fact that the wicked, as soon as God gives them life again, turn against Him and attempt to overthrow His kingdom confirms the decision He has made about their fate. In this way His name and character, which Satan has sought to besmirch, will be fully vindicated before all.
The Great White Throne Judgment
John indicates that when God's enemies have surrounded the city and are ready to attack it, God sets up His great white throne. As the entire human race meets around this throne—some secure inside the city, others outside, terrified in the presence of the Judge—God will carry out the last phase of judgment. This is the time Christ spoke of when He said, "'There 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'" (Luke 13:28).
To carry out this executive phase of the judgment, God's record books will be 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" (Rev. 20:12). Then God pronounces the sentence of doom.
Why does God raise these people to life only to end their existence again? During the millennium, the redeemed have had an opportunity to examine the justice of God's treatment of every intelligent being in the universe. Now the lost themselves—including Satan and his angels—will confirm the justice of God's ways.
It is at this great white throne judgment that Paul's words, "We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" (Rom. 14:10), will be fulfilled. There all creatures—unfallen and fallen, saved and lost—bow the knee and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil. 2:10, 11; cf. Isa. 45:22, 23). Then the question of God's justice will have been forever resolved. Those who receive eternal life will have an unshakable faith in Him. Never again will sin mar the universe or wreak havoc on its inhabitants.
Satan and Sinners Destroyed
Immediately upon their sentencing, Satan, his angels, and his human followers receive their punishment. They are to die an eternal death. "Fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured" all the unsaved (Rev. 20:9). The very surface of the earth outside the city appears to melt, becoming a vast lake of fire for the "judgment and perdition of ungodly men" (2 Peter 3:7). The "'day of the Lord's vengeance'" (Isa. 34:8), upon which He will perform "his strange act" (Isa. 28:21, KJV) of destroying His enemies, has arrived. Said John: "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire" (Rev. 20:15). The devil and his associates also suffer this fate (Rev. 20:10).
The context of the entire Bible makes clear that this "second death" (Rev. 21:8) that the wicked suffer means their total destruction. What then of the concept of an eternally burning hell? Careful study shows that the Bible teaches no such hell or torment.
1. Hell
Biblically, hell is "the place and state of punishment and destruction, by eternal fire in the second death, of those who reject God and the offer of salvation in Jesus Christ."
English versions of the Bible frequently use the word "hell" to translate the Hebrew word sheol and the Greek hades. These terms generally refer to the grave where the dead—both righteous and wicked—await, in a state of unconsciousness, the resurrection (see chapter 25). Because today's concept of hell differs so greatly from what these Hebrew and Greek terms imply, a number of modern versions avoid the word "hell," simply transliterating the Hebrew word as "Sheol" and the Greek as "Hades."
In contrast, the Greek word geenna, which English versions of the New Testament also translate with the word "hell," denotes a place of fiery punishment for the impenitent. In the Bible, then, "hell" does not always have the same meaning—and the failure to note this distinction has often led to great confusion.
Geenna is derived from the Hebrew Ge Hinnom, "Valley of Hinnom"—a gorge on the south side of Jerusalem. Here Israel had conducted the heathen rite of burning children to Molech (2 Chron. 28:3; 33:1, 6). Jeremiah predicted that because of this sin the Lord would make the valley a "Valley of Slaughter," where the corpses of the Israelites would be buried till there was no more place for them. The remaining bodies were to be "food for the birds" (Jer. 7:32, 33; Isa. 30:33). Jeremiah's prophecy undoubtedly led Israel to view Ge Hinnom as a place of judgement of the wicked, a place of abhorrence, punishment, and shame. Later rabbinical tradition considers it a place for burning carcasses and rubbish.
Jesus used the fires of Hinnom as a representation of hellfire (e.g., Matt. 5:22; 18:9). So the fires of Hinnom symbolized the consuming fire of the last judgment. He stated that it was an experience beyond death (Luke 12:5) and that hell would destroy both body and soul (Matt. 10:28).
What is the nature of hellfire? Do people in hell burn forever?
2. The fate of the wicked.
According to the Scriptures, God promises eternal life only to the righteous. The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in hell (Rom. 6:23).
The Scriptures teach that the wicked will be "cut off" (Ps. 37:9, 34); that they will perish (Ps. 37:20; 68:2). They will not live in a state of consciousness forever, but will be burned up (Mal. 4:1; Matt. 13:30, 40; 2 Peter 3:10). They will be destroyed (Ps. 145:20; 2 Thess. 1:9; Heb. 2:14), consumed (Ps. 104:35).
3. Everlasting punishment
In speaking of the punishment of the wicked, the New Testament uses the terms "everlasting" and "eternal." These terms translate the Greek word aionios, and apply to God as well as to man. To avoid misunderstanding, one must remember that aionios is a relative term; its meaning is determined by the object it modifies. So when Scripture uses aionios ("everlasting," "eternal") of God, it does mean that He possesses infinite existence—for God is immortal. But when it uses this word of mortal human beings or perishable things, it means as long as the person lives or the thing exists.
Jude 7, for example, says that Sodom and Gomorrah suffered "the vengeance of eternal fire." Yet those cities are not burning today. Peter said that that fire turned those cities into ashes, condemning them to destruction (2 Peter 2:6). The "eternal" fire burned until there was nothing left to burn, and then it went out (see also Jer. 17:27; 2 Chron. 36:19).
Similarly, when Christ assigns the wicked to "'everlasting fire'" (Matt. 25:41), that fire that will burn up the wicked will be "'unquenchable'" (Matt. 3:12). Only when there is nothing left to burn will it go out.
When Christ spoke of "'everlasting punishment'" (Matt. 25:46) He did not mean everlasting punishing. He meant that as the "eternal life [the righteous will enjoy] will continue throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity; and the punishment [the wicked will suffer] will also be eternal—not eternal duration of conscious suffering, however, but punishment that is complete and final. The end of those who thus suffer is the second death. This death will be eternal, from which there will not, and cannot, be any resurrection."
When the Bible speaks of "eternal redemption" (Heb. 9:12) and "eternal judgment" (Heb. 6:2), it is referring to the eternal results of the redemption and the judgment—not to an endless process of redemption and judgment. In the same way, when it speaks of eternal or everlasting punishment, it is speaking of the results and not of the process of that punishment. The death the wicked die will be final and everlasting.
4. Tormented forever and ever
Scripture's use of the expression "forever and ever" (Rev. 14:11; 19:3; 20:10) has also contributed to the conclusion that the process of punishing Satan and the wicked will go on throughout eternity. But like "everlasting," the object it modifies determines the meaning of the word "forever." When it is associated with God, its meaning is absolute—for God is immortal; when it is associated with mortal humans, its meaning is limited.
Scripture's description of God's punishment of Edom yields a good example of this usage. Isaiah says that God would turn that country into burning pitch that would "not be quenched night or day" and that its smoke was to "ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and ever" (Isa. 34:9, 10). Edom was destroyed, but it is not still burning.The "forever" lasted until its destruction was complete.
Throughout Scripture it is clear that "forever" has its limits. The Old Testament says that a slave could serve his master "forever" (Ex. 21:6), that the child Samuel was to abide in the tabernacle "forever" (1 Sam. 1:22), and that Jonah thought he would be in the belly of the great fish "forever" (Jonah 2:6). The New Testament uses this term in a similar way: Paul, for example, counseled Philemon to receive Onesimus "forever" (Philemon 15). In all these instances "forever" means "as long as the person lives."
Psalm 92:7 says that the wicked will be destroyed forever. And prophesying of the great final conflagration, Malachi said, "'The day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,' says the Lord of hosts, 'that will leave them neither root nor branch'" (Mal. 4:1).
Once the wicked—Satan, evil angels, and impenitent people—are all destroyed by fire, both root and branch, there will be no further use for death or hades (see chapter 25 of this book). These also God will eternally destroy (Rev. 20:14).
So the Bible makes it very clear that the punishment, not the punishing, is everlasting—is the second death. From this punishment there is no resurrection; its effects are eternal.
Archbishop William Temple was right when he asserted, "One thing we can say with confidence: Everlasting torment is to be ruled out. If men had not imported the Greek and unbiblical notion of the natural indestructibility of the individual soul, and then read the New Testament with that already in their minds, they would have drawn from it [the New Testament] a belief, not in everlasting torment, but in annihilation. It is the fire that is called aeonian [everlasting], not the life cast into it." The full penalty of God's law having been executed, the demands of justice are satisfied. Now heaven and earth proclaim the righteousness of the Lord.
5. The principle of punishment
Death is the ultimate penalty for sin. As a result of their sin, all who refuse the salvation God offers will die eternally. But some have sinned flagrantly, demonic in the delight they have taken in causing others to suffer. Others have lived relatively moral, peaceful lives, their guilt mainly that of rejecting the salvation provided in Christ. Is it fair that they suffer the same punishment?
Christ said, the "'servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much will be asked'" (Luke 12:47, 58, NIV).
Undoubtedly, those who have rebelled against God the most will suffer more than those who have not. But we should understand their ultimate suffering in terms of Christ's "second death" experience on the cross. There He bore the sins of the world. And it was the awful separation from His Father that sin brought that caused the agony He suffered—a mental anguish beyond description. So with lost sinners. They reap what they sow not only during this life but in the final destruction. In God's presence, the guilt they feel because of the sins they have committed will cause them to suffer an indescribable agony. And the greater the guilt, the greater the agony. Satan, the instigator and promoter of sin, will suffer the most.
The Cleansing of the Earth
Describing the day of the Lord, when all traces of sin will be eliminated, Peter said, "The heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).
The fire that destroys the wicked purifies the earth from the pollution of sin. Out of the ruins of this earth God will bring "a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away" (Rev. 21:1). From this cleansed, re-created earth—the eternal home of the redeemed—God will forever banish mourning, pain, and death (Rev. 21:4). Finally the curse sin brought will have been lifted (Rev. 22:3).
In view of the coming day of the Lord, in which sin and impenitent sinners will be destroyed, Peter says to all, "What kind ofpeople ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming." Basing his hope on the promise of Christ's return, he affirmed, "We are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him" (2 Peter 3:11, 13, 14, NIV).
Ufunuo 20X 1 Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, mwenye ufunguo wa kuzimu, na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. 2 Akamshika yule joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni Ibilisi na Shetani, akamfunga miaka elfu; 3 akamtupa katika kuzimu, akamfunga, akatia muhuri juu yake, asipate kuwadanganya mataifa tena, hata ile miaka elfu itimie; na baada ya hayo yapasa afunguliwe muda mchache. 4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi, wakaketi juu yake, nao wakapewa hukumu; nami nikaona roho zao waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wa Yesu, na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na hao wasiomsujudia yule mnyama, wala sanamu yake, wala hawakuipokea ile chapa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao, wala katika mikono yao; nao wakawa hai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo miaka elfu. 5 Hao wafu waliosalia hawakuwa hai, hata itimie ile miaka elfu. 6 Huo ndio ufufuo wa kwanza. Heri, na mtakatifu, ni yeye aliye na sehemu katika ufufuo wa kwanza; juu ya hao mauti ya pili haina nguvu; bali watakuwa makuhani wa Mungu na wa Kristo, nao watatawala pamoja naye hiyo miaka elfu. 7 Na hiyo miaka elfu itakapokwisha, Shetani atafunguliwa, atoke kifungoni mwake; 8 naye atatoka kuwadanganya mataifa walio katika pembe nne za nchi, Gogu na Magogu, kuwakusanya kwa vita, ambao hesabu yao ni kama mchanga wa bahari. 9 Wakapanda juu ya upana wa nchi, wakaizingira kambi ya watakatifu, na mji huo uliopendwa. Moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawala. 10 Na yule Ibilisi, mwenye kuwadanganya, akatupwa katika ziwa la moto na kiberiti, alimo yule mnyama na yule nabii wa uongo. Nao watateswa mchana na usiku hata milele na milele. 11 Kisha nikaona kiti cha enzi, kikubwa, cheupe, na yeye aketiye juu yake; ambaye nchi na mbingu zikakimbia uso wake, na mahali pao hapakuonekana. 12 Nikawaona wafu, wakubwa kwa wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi; na vitabu vikafunguliwa; na kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa, ambacho ni cha uzima; na hao wafu wakahukumiwa katika mambo hayo yaliyoandikwa katika vile vitabu, sawasawa na matendo yao. 13 Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake; na Mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Wakahukumiwa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake. 14 Mauti na Kuzimu zikatupwa katika lile ziwa la moto. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili, yaani, hilo ziwa la moto. 15 Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
1 Wakorintho 6:2-3X 2 Au hamjui ya kwamba watakatifu watauhukumu ulimwengu? Na ikiwa ulimwengu utahukumiwa na ninyi, je! Hamstahili kukata hukumu zilizo ndogo? 3 Hamjui ya kuwa mtawahukumu malaika, basi si zaidi sana mambo ya maisha haya?
Yeremia 4:23-26X 23 Naliiangalia nchi, na tazama, ilikuwa ukiwa, haina watu; naliziangalia mbingu, nazo zilikuwa hazina nuru. 24 Naliiangalia milima, na tazama, ilitetemeka, na milima yote ilisogea huko na huko. 25 Nikaangalia, na tazama, hapakuwa na mtu hata mmoja, na ndege wote wa angani wamekwenda zao. 26 Nikaangalia, na tazama, shamba lililozaa sana limekuwa ukiwa, na miji yake yote ilikuwa imebomoka mbele za Bwana, na mbele za hasira yake kali.
Ufunuo 21:1-5X 1 Kisha nikaona mbingu mpya na nchi mpya; kwa maana mbingu za kwanza na nchi ya kwanza zimekwisha kupita, wala hapana bahari tena. 2 Nami nikauona mji ule mtakatifu, Yerusalemu mpya, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu, umewekwa tayari, kama bibi-arusi aliyekwisha kupambwa kwa mumewe. 3 Nikasikia sauti kubwa kutoka katika kile kiti cha enzi ikisema, Tazama, maskani ya Mungu ni pamoja na wanadamu, naye atafanya maskani yake pamoja nao, nao watakuwa watu wake. Naye Mungu mwenyewe atakuwa pamoja nao. 4 Naye atafuta kila chozi katika macho yao, wala mauti haitakuwapo tena; wala maombolezo, wala kilio, wala maumivu hayatakuwapo tena; kwa kuwa mambo ya kwanza yamekwisha kupita. 5 Na yeye aketiye juu ya kile kiti cha enzi akasema, Tazama, nayafanya yote kuwa mapya. Akaniambia, Andika ya kwamba maneno hayo ni amini na kweli.
Malaki 4:1X 1 Kwa maana, angalieni, siku ile inakuja, inawaka kama tanuru; na watu wote wenye kiburi, nao wote watendao uovu, watakuwa makapi; na siku ile inayokuja itawateketeza, asema Bwana wa majeshi; hata haitawaachia shina wala tawi.
Ezekieli 28:18-19X 18 Kwa wingi wa maovu yako, katika uovu wa uchuuzi wako, umepatia unajisi patakatifu pako; basi nimetokeza moto kutoka ndani yako, nao umekuteketeza, nami nimekufanya kuwa majivu juu ya nchi, machoni pa watu wote wakutazamao. 19 Wote wakujuao kati ya kabila za watu watakustaajabia; umekuwa kitu cha kutisha, wala hutakuwapo tena hata milele.
Ufunuo 20:1-4X 1 Kisha nikaona malaika akishuka kutoka mbinguni, mwenye ufunguo wa kuzimu, na mnyororo mkubwa mkononi mwake. 2 Akamshika yule joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni Ibilisi na Shetani, akamfunga miaka elfu; 3 akamtupa katika kuzimu, akamfunga, akatia muhuri juu yake, asipate kuwadanganya mataifa tena, hata ile miaka elfu itimie; na baada ya hayo yapasa afunguliwe muda mchache. 4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi, wakaketi juu yake, nao wakapewa hukumu; nami nikaona roho zao waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wa Yesu, na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na hao wasiomsujudia yule mnyama, wala sanamu yake, wala hawakuipokea ile chapa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao, wala katika mikono yao; nao wakawa hai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo miaka elfu.
Ufunuo 19:11 – 21X 11 Kisha nikaziona mbingu zimefunuka, na tazama, farasi mweupe, na yeye aliyempanda, aitwaye Mwaminifu na Wa-kweli, naye kwa haki ahukumu na kufanya vita. 12 Na macho yake yalikuwa kama mwali wa moto, na juu ya kichwa chake vilemba vingi; naye ana jina lililoandikwa, asilolijua mtu ila yeye mwenyewe. 13 Naye amevikwa vazi lililochovywa katika damu, na jina lake aitwa, Neno la Mungu. 14 Na majeshi yaliyo mbinguni wakamfuata, wamepanda farasi weupe na kuvikwa kitani nzuri, nyeupe, safi. 15 Na upanga mkali hutoka kinywani mwake ili awapige mataifa kwa huo. Naye atawachunga kwa fimbo ya chuma, naye anakanyaga shinikizo la mvinyo ya ghadhabu ya hasira ya Mungu Mwenyezi. 16 Naye ana jina limeandikwa katika vazi lake na paja lake, MFALME WA WAFALME, NA Bwana WA MABwana. 17 Kisha nikaona malaika mmoja amesimama katika jua; akalia kwa sauti kuu, akiwaambia ndege wote warukao katikati ya mbingu, Njoni mkutane kwa karamu ya Mungu iliyo kuu; 18 mpate kula nyama ya wafalme, na nyama ya majemadari, na nyama ya watu hodari, na nyama ya farasi na ya watu wawapandao, na nyama ya watu wote, waungwana kwa watumwa, wadogo kwa wakubwa. 19 Kisha nikamwona huyo mnyama, na wafalme wa nchi, na majeshi yao, wamekutana kufanya vita na yeye aketiye juu ya farasi yule, tena na majeshi yake. 20 Yule mnyama akakamatwa, na yule nabii wa uongo pamoja naye, yeye aliyezifanya hizo ishara mbele yake, ambazo kwa hizo aliwadanganya watu wale walioipokea ile chapa ya huyo mnyama, nao walioisujudia sanamu yake; hao wawili wakatupwa wangali hai katika lile ziwa la moto liwakalo kwa kiberiti; 21 na wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga wake yeye aliyeketi juu ya yule farasi, upanga utokao katika kinywa
Ufunuo 16:13X 13 Nikaona roho tatu za uchafu zilizofanana na vyura, zikitoka katika kinywa cha yule joka, na katika kinywa cha yule mnyama, na katika kinywa cha yule nabii wa uongo.
Ufunuo 19:19, 20X 19 Wakatupa mavumbi juu ya vichwa vyao, wakalia, wakitokwa na machozi na kuomboleza, wakisema, Ole, ole, mji ule ulio mkuu! Ambao ndani yake wote wenye merikebu baharini walipata mali kwa utajiri wake; kwa kuwa katika saa moja umekuwa ukiwa. 20 Furahini juu yake, enyi mbingu, nanyi watakatifu na mitume na manabii; kwa maana Mungu amehukumu hukumu yenu juu yake.
Danieli 2:44X 44 Na katika siku za wafalme hao Mungu wa mbinguni atausimamisha ufalme ambao hautaangamizwa milele, wala watu wengine hawataachiwa enzi yake; bali utavunja falme hizi zote vipande vipande na kuziharibu, nao utasimama milele na milele.
1 Wathesalonike 4:17X 17 Kisha sisi tulio hai, tuliosalia, tutanyakuliwa pamoja nao katika mawingu, ili tumlaki Bwana hewani; na hivyo tutakuwa pamoja na Bwana milele.
Yohana 14:2, 3X 2 Nyumbani mwa Baba yangu mna makao mengi; kama sivyo, ningaliwaambia; maana naenda kuwaandalia mahali. 3 Basi mimi nikienda na kuwaandalia mahali, nitakuja tena niwakaribishe kwangu; ili nilipo mimi, nanyi mwepo.
Ufunuo 19:21X 21 na wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga wake yeye aliyeketi juu ya yule farasi, upanga utokao katika kinywa chake. Na ndege wote wakashiba kwa nyama zao.
Mathayo 24:37-39X 37 Kwa maana kama vile ilivyokuwa siku za Nuhu, ndivyo kutakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Adamu. 38 Kwa kuwa kama vile siku zile zilizokuwa kabla ya Gharika watu walivyokuwa wakila, na kunywa, wakioa na kuolewa, hata siku ile aliyoingia Nuhu katika safina, 39 wasitambue, hata Gharika ikaja, ikawachukua wote, ndivyo kutakavyokuwa kuja kwake Mwana wa Adamu.
Luka 17:29X 29 lakini siku ile Lutu aliyotoka Sodoma kulinyesha moto na kibiriti kutoka mbinguni vikawaangamiza wote.
Isaya 26:21X 21 Kwa maana, tazama, Bwana anakuja kutoka mahali pake, ili kuwaadhibu wakaao duniani, kwa sababu ya uovu wao; ardhi nayo itafunua damu yake, wala haitawafunika tena watu wake waliouawa.
Yeremia 4:23-25X 23 Naliiangalia nchi, na tazama, ilikuwa ukiwa, haina watu; naliziangalia mbingu, nazo zilikuwa hazina nuru. 24 Naliiangalia milima, na tazama, ilitetemeka, na milima yote ilisogea huko na huko. 25 Nikaangalia, na tazama, hapakuwa na mtu hata mmoja, na ndege wote wa angani wamekwenda zao.
Mwanzo 1:2X 2 Nayo nchi ilikuwa ukiwa, tena utupu, na giza lilikuwa juu ya uso wa vilindi vya maji; Roho ya Mungu ikatulia juu ya uso wa maji.
M. Walawi 16:21X 21 Na Haruni ataweka mikono yake miwili juu ya kichwa cha yule mbuzi aliye hai, na kuungama juu yake uovu wote wa wana wa Israeli, na makosa yao, naam, dhambi zao zote; naye ataziweka juu ya kichwa chake yule mbuzi, kisha atampeleka aende jangwani kwa mkono wa mtu aliye tayari.
M. Walawi 16:22X 22 Na yule mbuzi atachukua juu yake uovu wao wote, mpaka nchi isiyo watu; naye atamwacha mbuzi jangwani.
Ufunuo 20:2, 3X 2 Akamshika yule joka, yule nyoka wa zamani, ambaye ni Ibilisi na Shetani, akamfunga miaka elfu; 3 akamtupa katika kuzimu, akamfunga, akatia muhuri juu yake, asipate kuwadanganya mataifa tena, hata ile miaka elfu itimie; na baada ya hayo yapasa afunguliwe muda mchache.
Ufunuo 16:18–21X 18 Pakawa na umeme na sauti na radi; na palikuwa na tetemeko la nchi kubwa, ambalo tangu wanadamu kuwako juu ya nchi hapakuwa namna ile, jinsi lilivyokuwa kubwa tetemeko hilo. 19 Na mji ule mkuu ukagawanyikana mafungu matatu, na miji ya mataifa ikaanguka; na Babeli ule mkuu ukakumbukwa mbele za Mungu, kupewa kikombe cha mvinyo ya ghadhabu ya hasira yake. 20 Kila kisiwa kikakimbia, wala milima haikuonekana tena. 21 Na mvua ya mawe kubwa sana, ya mawe mazito kama talanta, ikashuka kutoka mbinguni juu ya wanadamu. Wanadamu wakamtukana Mungu kwa sababu ya lile pigo la mvua ya mawe; kwa maana pigo lake ni kubwa mno.
Ufunuo 15:2, 3X 2 Tena nikaona kitu kama mfano wa bahari ya kioo iliyochangamana na moto, na wale wenye kushinda, watokao kwa yule mnyama, na sanamu yake, na kwa hesabu ya jina lake, walikuwa wamesimama kando-kando ya hiyo bahari ya kioo, wenye vinubi vya Mungu. 3 Nao wauimba wimbo wa Musa, mtumwa wa Mungu, na wimbo wa Mwana-Kondoo, wakisema, Ni makuu, na ya ajabu, matendo yako, Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi; Ni za haki, na za kweli, njia zako, Ee Mfalme wa mataifa.
Ufunuo 20:4X 4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi, wakaketi juu yake, nao wakapewa hukumu; nami nikaona roho zao waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wa Yesu, na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na hao wasiomsujudia yule mnyama, wala sanamu yake, wala hawakuipokea ile chapa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao, wala katika mikono yao; nao wakawa hai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo miaka elfu.
Ufunuo 2:26X 26 Na yeye ashindaye, na kuyatunza matendo yangu hata mwisho, nitampa mamlaka juu ya mataifa,
Danieli 7:27X 27 Na ufalme, na mamlaka, na ukuu wa ufalme, chini ya mbingu zote, watapewa watu wa watakatifu wake Aliye juu; ufalme wake ni ufalme wa milele, na wote wenye mamlaka watamtumikia na kumtii.
Ufunuo 20:4X 4 Kisha nikaona viti vya enzi, wakaketi juu yake, nao wakapewa hukumu; nami nikaona roho zao waliokatwa vichwa kwa ajili ya ushuhuda wa Yesu, na kwa ajili ya neno la Mungu, na hao wasiomsujudia yule mnyama, wala sanamu yake, wala hawakuipokea ile chapa katika vipaji vya nyuso zao, wala katika mikono yao; nao wakawa hai, wakatawala pamoja na Kristo miaka elfu.
2 Petro 2:4X 4 Kwa maana ikiwa Mungu hakuwaachilia malaika waliokosa, bali aliwatupa shimoni, akawatia katika vifungo vya giza, walindwe hata ije hukumu;
Yuda 1:6X 6 Na malaika wasioilinda enzi yao wenyewe, lakini wakayaacha makao yao yaliyowahusu, amewaweka katika vifungo vya milele chini ya giza kwa hukumu ya siku ile kuu.
Ufunuo 20:5, 7X 5 Hao wafu waliosalia hawakuwa hai, hata itimie ile miaka elfu. 7 Na hiyo miaka elfu itakapokwisha, Shetani atafunguliwa, atoke kifungoni mwake;
Ufunuo 20:9X 9 Wakapanda juu ya upana wa nchi, wakaizingira kambi ya watakatifu, na mji huo uliopendwa. Moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawala.
Ufunuo 21:2X 2 Nami nikauona mji ule mtakatifu, Yerusalemu mpya, ukishuka kutoka mbinguni kwa Mungu, umewekwa tayari, kama bibi-arusi aliyekwisha kupambwa kwa mumewe.
Zekaria 14:4X 4 Na siku hiyo miguu yake itasimama juu ya mlima wa Mizeituni, unaoelekea Yerusalemu upande wa mashariki, nao mlima wa Mizeituni utapasuka katikati yake, upande wa mashariki na upande wa magharibi; litakuwako huko bonde kubwa sana; na nusu ya mlima ule utaondoka kwenda upande wa kaskazini, na nusu yake itaondoka kwenda upande wa kusini.
Zekaria 14:9X 9 Naye Bwana atakuwa Mfalme juu ya nchi yote; siku hiyo Bwana atakuwa mmoja, na jina lake moja.
Yohana 5:28X 28 Msistaajabie maneno hayo; kwa maana saa yaja, ambayo watu wote waliomo makaburini wataisikia sauti yake.
Yohana 5:29X 29 Nao watatoka; wale waliofanya mema kwa ufufuo wa uzima, na wale waliotenda mabaya kwa ufufuo wa hukumu.
Ufunuo 20:5X 5 Hao wafu waliosalia hawakuwa hai, hata itimie ile miaka elfu.
Ufunuo 20:3X 3 akamtupa katika kuzimu, akamfunga, akatia muhuri juu yake, asipate kuwadanganya mataifa tena, hata ile miaka elfu itimie; na baada ya hayo yapasa afunguliwe muda mchache.
Ufunuo 20:8X 8 naye atatoka kuwadanganya mataifa walio katika pembe nne za nchi, Gogu na Magogu, kuwakusanya kwa vita, ambao hesabu yao ni kama mchanga wa bahari.
Ufunuo 20:8, 9X 8 naye atatoka kuwadanganya mataifa walio katika pembe nne za nchi, Gogu na Magogu, kuwakusanya kwa vita, ambao hesabu yao ni kama mchanga wa bahari. 9 Wakapanda juu ya upana wa nchi, wakaizingira kambi ya watakatifu, na mji huo uliopendwa. Moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawala.
Ufunuo 20:11-15X 11 Kisha nikaona kiti cha enzi, kikubwa, cheupe, na yeye aketiye juu yake; ambaye nchi na mbingu zikakimbia uso wake, na mahali pao hapakuonekana. 12 Nikawaona wafu, wakubwa kwa wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi; na vitabu vikafunguliwa; na kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa, ambacho ni cha uzima; na hao wafu wakahukumiwa katika mambo hayo yaliyoandikwa katika vile vitabu, sawasawa na matendo yao. 13 Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake; na Mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Wakahukumiwa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake. 14 Mauti na Kuzimu zikatupwa katika lile ziwa la moto. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili, yaani, hilo ziwa la moto. 15 Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
Luka 13:28X 28 Ndipo kutakapokuwa na kilio na kusaga meno, mtakapomwona Ibrahimu na Isaka na Yakobo na manabii wote katika ufalme wa Mungu, nanyi wenyewe mmetupwa nje.
Warumi 14:10X 10 Lakini wewe je! Mbona wamhukumu ndugu yako? Au wewe je! Mbona wamdharau ndugu yako? Kwa maana sisi sote tutasimama mbele ya kiti cha hukumu cha Mungu.
Wafilipi 2:10, 11X 10 ili kwa jina la Yesu kila goti lipigwe, la vitu vya mbinguni, na vya duniani, na vya chini ya nchi; 11 na kila ulimi ukiri ya kuwa YESU KRISTO NI Bwana, kwa utukufu wa Mungu Baba.
Isaya 45:22, 23X 22 Niangalieni mimi, mkaokolewe, enyi ncha zote za dunia; maana mimi ni Mungu; hapana mwingine. 23 Kwa nafsi yangu nimeapa, neno hili limetoka kinywani mwangu katika haki, wala halitarudi, ya kwamba mbele zangu kila goti litapigwa, kila ulimi utaapa.
Ufunuo 20:9, 12-15X 9 Wakapanda juu ya upana wa nchi, wakaizingira kambi ya watakatifu, na mji huo uliopendwa. Moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni, ukawala. 12 Nikawaona wafu, wakubwa kwa wadogo, wamesimama mbele ya hicho kiti cha enzi; na vitabu vikafunguliwa; na kitabu kingine kikafunguliwa, ambacho ni cha uzima; na hao wafu wakahukumiwa katika mambo hayo yaliyoandikwa katika vile vitabu, sawasawa na matendo yao. 13 Bahari ikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake; na Mauti na Kuzimu zikawatoa wafu waliokuwamo ndani yake. Wakahukumiwa kila mtu kwa kadiri ya matendo yake. 14 Mauti na Kuzimu zikatupwa katika lile ziwa la moto. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili, yaani, hilo ziwa la moto. 15 Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
2 Petro 3:7X 7 Lakini mbingu za sasa na nchi zimewekwa akiba kwa moto, kwa neno lilo hilo, zikilindwa hata siku ya hukumu, na ya kuangamia kwao wanadamu wasiomcha Mungu.
Isaya 34:8X 8 Maana ni siku ya kisasi cha Bwana, mwaka wa malipo, ili kushindania Sayuni.
Isaya 28:21X 21 Maana Bwana ataondoka kama vile katika mlima Perasimu, ataghadhibika kama vile katika bonde la Gibeoni; apate kufanya kazi yake, kazi yake ya ajabu; na kulitimiza tendo lake, tendo lake la ajabu.
Ufunuo 20:15X 15 Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
Ufunuo 20:10X 10 Na yule Ibilisi, mwenye kuwadanganya, akatupwa katika ziwa la moto na kiberiti, alimo yule mnyama na yule nabii wa uongo. Nao watateswa mchana na usiku hata milele na milele.
Mathayo 25:41X 41 Kisha atawaambia na wale walioko mkono wake wa kushoto, Ondokeni kwangu, mliolaaniwa, mwende katika moto wa milele, aliowekewa tayari Ibilisi na malaika zake;
Mathayo 25:46X 46 Na hao watakwenda zao kuingia katika adhabu ya milele; bali wenye haki watakwenda katika uzima wa milele.
Ufunuo 21:8X 8 Bali waoga, na wasioamini, na wachukizao, na wauaji, na wazinzi, na wachawi, na hao waabuduo sanamu, na waongo wote, sehemu yao ni katika lile ziwa liwakalo moto na kiberiti. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili.
Ufunuo 14:9 – 11X 9 Na mwingine, malaika wa tatu, akawafuata, akisema kwa sauti kuu, Mtu awaye yote akimsujudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kuipokea chapa katika kipaji cha uso wake, au katika mkono wake, 10 yeye naye atakunywa katika mvinyo ya ghadhabu ya Mungu iliyotengenezwa, pasipo kuchanganywa na maji, katika kikombe cha hasira yake; naye atateswa kwa moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu, na mbele za Mwana-Kondoo. 11 Na moshi wa maumivu yao hupanda juu hata milele na milele, wala hawana raha mchana wala usiku, hao wamsujuduo huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kila aipokeaye chapa ya jina lake.
Mathayo 8:29X 29 Na tazama, wakapiga kelele, wakisema, Tuna nini nawe, Mwana wa Mungu? Je! Umekuja kututesa kabla ya muhula wetu?
2 Petro 2:4X 4 Kwa maana ikiwa Mungu hakuwaachilia malaika waliokosa, bali aliwatupa shimoni, akawatia katika vifungo vya giza, walindwe hata ije hukumu;
Yuda 1:9X 9 Lakini Mikaeli, malaika mkuu, aliposhindana na Ibilisi, na kuhojiana naye kwa ajili ya mwili wa Musa, hakuthubutu kumshitaki kwa kumlaumu, bali alisema, Bwana na akukemee.
2 Petro 2:9X 9 basi, Bwana ajua kuwaokoa watauwa na majaribu, na kuwaweka wasio haki katika hali ya adhabu hata siku ya hukumu;
Ezekieli 18:4X 4 Tazama, roho zote ni mali yangu; kama vile roho ya baba ni mali yangu, ndivyo ilivyo roho ya mwana mali yangu; roho ile itendayo dhambi itakufa.
Warumi 6:23X 23 Kwa maana mshahara wa dhambi ni mauti; bali karama ya Mungu ni uzima wa milele katika Kristo Yesu Bwana wetu.
Warumi 1:31X ambao wakijua sana hukumu ya haki ya Mungu, ya kwamba wayatendao hayo wamestahili mauti, wanatenda hayo, wala si hivyo tu, bali wanakubaliana nao wayatendao.
Warumi 6:21X Ni faida gani basi mliyopata siku zile kwa mambo hayo mnayoyatahayarikia sasa? Kwa maana mwisho wa mambo hayo ni mauti.
Yakobo 1:15X 15 Halafu ile tamaa ikiisha kuchukua mimba huzaa dhambi, na ile dhambi ikiisha kukomaa huzaa mauti.
Zaburi 37:9, 34X 9 Maana watenda mabaya wataharibiwa, Bali wamngojao Bwana ndio watakaoirithi nchi. 34 Wewe umngoje Bwana, Uishike njia yake, Naye atakutukuza uirithi nchi, Wasio haki watakapoharibiwa utawaona.
Ezekieli 28:16X 16 Kwa wingi wa uchuuzi wako watu walikujaza udhalimu ndani yako, nawe umetenda dhambi; kwa sababu hiyo nimekutoa kwa nguvu katika mlima wa Mungu, kama kitu kilicho najisi; nami nimekuangamiza, Ewe kerubi ufunikaye, utoke katika mawe hayo ya moto.
Zaburi 37:20X 20 Bali wasio haki watapotea, Nao wamchukiao Bwana watatoweka, Kama uzuri wa mashamba, Kama moshi watatoweka.
Zaburi 37:10 X 10 Maana bado kitambo kidogo asiye haki hatakuwapo, Utapaangalia mahali pake wala hatakuwapo.
Zaburi 68:2X 2 Kama moshi upeperushwavyo, Ndivyo uwapeperushavyo wao; Kama nta iyeyukavyo mbele ya moto, Ndivyo waovu wapoteavyo usoni pa Mungu.
Yohana 3:16X 16 Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, hata akamtoa Mwanawe pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.
Malaki 4:1X 1 Kwa maana, angalieni, siku ile inakuja, inawaka kama tanuru; na watu wote wenye kiburi, nao wote watendao uovu, watakuwa makapi; na siku ile inayokuja itawateketeza, asema Bwana wa majeshi; hata haitawaachia shina wala tawi.
Mathayo 13:30X 30 Viacheni vyote vikue hata wakati wa mavuno; na wakati wa mavuno nitawaambia wavunao, Yakusanyeni kwanza magugu, myafunge matita matita mkayachome; bali ngano ikusanyeni ghalani mwangu.
Mathayo 13:40X 40 Basi, kama vile magugu yakusanywavyo na kuchomwa motoni; ndivyo itakavyokuwa katika mwisho wa dunia.
2 Petro 3:10X 10 Lakini siku ya Bwana itakuja kama mwivi; katika siku hiyo mbingu zitatoweka kwa mshindo mkuu, na viumbe vya asili vitaunguzwa, na kufumuliwa, na nchi na kazi zilizomo ndani yake zitateketea.
Ufunuo 20:15X 15 Na iwapo mtu ye yote hakuonekana ameandikwa katika kitabu cha uzima, alitupwa katika lile ziwa la moto.
Ufunuo 21:8X 8 Bali waoga, na wasioamini, na wachukizao, na wauaji, na wazinzi, na wachawi, na hao waabuduo sanamu, na waongo wote, sehemu yao ni katika lile ziwa liwakalo moto na kiberiti. Hii ndiyo mauti ya pili.
Zaburi 145:20X 20 Bwana huwahifadhi wote wampendao, Na wote wasio haki atawaangamiza.
Marko 1:24X 24 akisema, Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je! Umekuja kutuangamiza?
2 Wathesalonike 1:9X 9 watakaoadhibiwa kwa maangamizi ya milele, kutengwa na uso wa Bwana na utukufu wa nguvu zake;
Waebrania 2:14X 14 Basi, kwa kuwa watoto wameshiriki damu na mwili, yeye naye vivyo hivyo alishiriki yayo hayo, ili kwa njia ya mauti amharibu yeye aliyekuwa na nguvu za mauti, yaani, Ibilisi,
Ufunuo 19:20, 21X 20 Yule mnyama akakamatwa, na yule nabii wa uongo pamoja naye, yeye aliyezifanya hizo ishara mbele yake, ambazo kwa hizo aliwadanganya watu wale walioipokea ile chapa ya huyo mnyama, nao walioisujudia sanamu yake; hao wawili wakatupwa wangali hai katika lile ziwa la moto liwakalo kwa kiberiti; 21 na wale waliosalia waliuawa kwa upanga wake yeye aliyeketi juu ya yule farasi, upanga utokao katika kinywa chake. Na ndege wote wakashiba kwa nyama zao.
2 Petro 3:10X 10 Lakini siku ya Bwana itakuja kama mwivi; katika siku hiyo mbingu zitatoweka kwa mshindo mkuu, na viumbe vya asili vitaunguzwa, na kufumuliwa, na nchi na kazi zilizomo ndani yake zitateketea.
Mathayo 21:41X 41 Wakamwambia, Atawaangamiza vibaya wale wabaya; na shamba la mizabibu atawapangisha wakulima wengine, watakaomlipa matunda kwa wakati wake.
Marko 1:24X 24 akisema, Tuna nini nawe, Yesu wa Nazareti? Je! Umekuja kutuangamiza?
Matendo 3:23X 23 Na itakuwa ya kwamba kila mtu asiyemsikiliza nabii huyo ataangamizwa na kutengwa na watu wake.
Zaburi 104:35X 35 Wenye dhambi waangamizwe katika nchi, Watendao ubaya wasiwepo tena. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana.
Zaburi 37:20X 20 Bali wasio haki watapotea, Nao wamchukiao Bwana watatoweka, Kama uzuri wa mashamba, Kama moshi watatoweka.
Zaburi 73:19X 19 Namna gani wamekuwa ukiwa mara! Wametokomea na kutoweshwa kwa utisho.
Zaburi 1:4X 4 Sivyo walivyo wasio haki; Hao ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.
Isaya 40:24X 24 Naam, hawakupandwa; hawakutiwa katika ardhi kama mbegu; naam, shina lao halikutia mizizi katika ardhi; tena awapuzia tu, wakanyauka, upepo wa kisulisuli wawaondoa kama mabua makavu.
Malaki 4:1X 1 Kwa maana, angalieni, siku ile inakuja, inawaka kama tanuru; na watu wote wenye kiburi, nao wote watendao uovu, watakuwa makapi; na siku ile inayokuja itawateketeza, asema Bwana wa majeshi; hata haitawaachia shina wala tawi.
K. Torati 29:23X 23 ya kuwa nchi yake nzima ni kibiriti, na chumvi, na kuteketea, haipandwi, wala haizai, wala nyasi hazimei humo, kama mapinduko ya Sodoma na Gomora, Adma na Seboimu, aliyoipindua Bwana kwa ghadhabu yake na hasira zake;
Isaya 13:19X 19 Na Babeli, huo utukufu wa falme, uzuri wa kiburi cha Wakaldayo, utakuwa kama Sodoma na Gomora hapo Mungu alipoiangamiza.
Mwanzo 19:29X 29 Ikawa Mungu alipoiharibu miji ya Bondeni, Mungu akamkumbuka Ibrahimu, akamtoa Lutu katika maangamizi alipoiangamiza miji hiyo aliyokaa Lutu.
Luka 17:29X 29 lakini siku ile Lutu aliyotoka Sodoma kulinyesha moto na kibiriti kutoka mbinguni vikawaangamiza wote.
