20:10 KJV And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
20:12.5 The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.

Over and over I've heard that if you die and go to Hell, it's game over. What I'm reading suggests otherwise. We all need to get busy interceding for our past generations!!!
Catholics have been taught that once a soul departs earth, they cannot pray for themselves and depend upon our mercy to pray for their salvation. This scripture perhaps may be what inspired such a practice.
What are your thoughts???
Let’s pray to have the Holy Spirit give us clarity on this
This is a great Word for people with loved ones that have passed and they were unsure of where they went. God doesn't have a time restriction and He is the final judge :) I will keep these scriptures in my pocket to share with others in their moments of uncertainty to give them hope if Holy Spirit leads me.
Revelations like these can only come from a personal relationship and reading the Word. So we must also encourage others to make this a practice in order to receive these revelations or any revelations in their lives.
If someone is reading the scripture, seeking and asking the Lord for clarification, I will always celebrate with them instead of debating if it is accurate.
I don't know their personal journey and do not want to discourage them from reading scripture or a having a personal relationship. Likewise, Holy Spirit may reveal something to me through scrioture that may not be for anyone else.
Discerning who to share it with or how to share it at all is my daily practice :)
So my prayer for all:
Keep reading the Word, meditating, keep seeking and sharing with discernment as Holy Spirit leads!!!!
