third ‘coming’ since anything that would be 'come to', such as the earth, will be
simultaneously new (Rev 21:3).
Revelation 21:8 and 21:27 do not represent the re-emergence of the Law (Rev
22:3) but rather stress the fact that by belief in Christ (Rev 21:6) and Salvation
(Rev 21:27 “book of life”) such acts do not carry the Law’s judgement. Only those
saved are guiltless not because they have never lied, or committeth other
abominations under the Law or whatever (Rom 2:1-4, 22-23, Rev 21:8, 27) but
because they are saved and are therefore as if they had never sinned in any respect
under the Law, this also despite failing to keep the two key commandments under
grace (Rom 8:1, 1 John 1:8, 3:9). Crucially also once changed or resurrected and
free from the old flesh that sinned (Rom 6:6-7, 7:25, 1 John 1:8) they will never sin
(1 John 3:9). After all are saved there is nobody to sin against the Law (Rom 6:6-
7, 7:18, 25, Rev 21:8, 22:3). Free will still exists in the Second Creation and people
could chose to come under the Law, but nobody elects for this option (Rev 22:3).
Those in the Lake of Fire, post second 'Creation' (Rev 21:8), continue in their sins
against the Law until they repent to be under grace as Christians in the eternal
second 'Creation' (1 Cor 12:3, Phil 2:11, Rev 22:3).
In between the end of the battle of Armageddon and the marriage supper the final
judgement takes place (Rev 20:13). This involves the following sequence:
The Armageddon battle is concluded (Rev 19:18). The wild beast and the false
prophet are eternally condemned (Rev 19:20), having been exposed to the gospel
to God’s satisfaction (1 Pet 3:19, 4:6), which is being cast alive into the eternal
torment of the lake of fire which is that part of hell, called hell fire (Mat 18:9,
25:41, 46, Rev 14:10-11, 19:20, 20:10). This is by default a place of everlasting
punishment (Mat 25:46). After the last judgement the devil spirits whilst dead are
yet, mysteriously, also tormented in the lake of fire (Rev 20:10, 14). There is night
in the lake of fire (Rev 20:10) but not in the second Heaven, the new Jerusalem
(Rev 21:25). Satan is then also cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:10). The lake of
fire is the second death of Revelation 20:6, 14 and is, by default, permanent (Rev
2:11, 14:11). It is a place of torment (Rev 14:11). Eventually, even from here,
those experiencing this state repent and are saved (Mat 16:17, 1 Cor 12:3, Phil
2:11). This accords with the Prime Principle because just as all beings must be
given the maximum chance of Salvation, once they have rejected it they must
equally as a default live with their choice, which was known by them to be an
eternal one (Rom 1:19-20). Furthermore the alternative of Salvation would be even
more intolerable to them (Mat 6:24, Luke 16:13). Finally they must ‘exist’ as they
still wish to do so even in this state (Luke 16:23-24), so strong is the desire to be
