Page 69 - The Road from Babylon to Zion

Look carefully at these three scriptures side by side:

But for the cowardly and unbelieving..., their part will be in the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

The Lord of that [wicked] slave will come..., and assign him a place with
the unbelievers.

He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death...

If you wonder what benefit there is in your enduring so many trials, taking up your
cross and following in the path of Yahshua when so many other saints treat the cross
as an optional part of Christianity that they have opted out of, then consider these
scriptures. These lukewarm saints will be spewed out of Yahshua’s mouth. They will
be assigned a portion with the unbelievers. They will endure the second death, the
Lake of Fire, which purifies all those who would not voluntarily submit to the
purging processes of God while in this life. They will endure the fires of purification
until all that is not of Christ in their life is burned away.

[To read more of this matter of Yahweh’s purpose for the Lake of Fire, I would
encourage you to read the book “God’s Plan of the Ages” which can be found at

To be spared from the second death.
To eat of the hidden manna reserved for the Overcomers.
To be given a name written on a white stone that only the Overcomer
and God know.
Authority over the nations, and the right to rule over them.
The morning star.
White raiment to clothe themselves with (Righteousness).
Their name will be confessed before Yahweh and before His angels.
They will be made a pillar in the house of God and they will not go out
from there anymore.
They will have Yahweh’s name written on them, and the name of the
New Jerusalem, and Yahshua’s new name.
They will sit with Yahshua on His throne.
They will inherit the New Heaven and New Earth, and the New
