The Great White Throne Judgment

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face athe earth and the heaven fled away. bAnd there was found no place for them.  
12 And I saw the dead, asmall and great, standing before1 God, band books were opened. And another cbook was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged daccording to their works, by the things which were written in the books.  
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, aand Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. bAnd they were judged, each one according to his works.  
14 Then aDeath and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. bThis is the second death.  
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life awas cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:13

death and hell—Greek, "Hades." The essential identity of the dying and risen body is hereby shown; for the sea and grave give up their dead. The body that sinned or served God shall, in righteous retribution, be the body also that shall suffer or be rewarded. The "sea" may have a symbolical [CLUVER from AUGUSTINE], besides the literal meaning, as, in Revelation 8:8; Revelation 12:12; Revelation 13:1; Revelation 18:17, Revelation 18:19; so "death" and "hell" are personifications (compare Revelation 21:1). But the literal sense need hardly be departed from: all the different regions wherein the bodies and souls of men had been, gave them up.
