The Revelation -Re. 20:13-14 “Restoration”

GuidetohisWord

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works./ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
