I will share briefly my understanding of each one.
1) I believe the bible speaks of more than one book of life. I believe there is a book of life that everyone who has been born into this world is recorded into. And then I believe that there is the Lamb's book of life that everyone who has been born again by the Spirit of God is recorded into. As far as who makes the entries, I don't think that God actually has pen and paper writing down all the names of those who received Him. He already knows those who belong to Him. The other book of life may have been some register that recorded a person's name when they were born. We still have that today.
2) I look at the story of the rich man and Lazarus and I see that there were two compartments, Abraham's Bosom, and Hades. I believe that Abraham's Bosom was paradise. Right now, I believe there is only one side left, and that's Hades. I believe Christ descended into the lower parts of the earth and released those who were in Abraham's Bosom and took them with Him. This is also my understanding of why Christ told the thief on the cross that today you will be with me in paradise. How individuals were assigned was determined by whether a person belonged to God or not at the point of death.
3) The Great White Throne Judgment is a judgment that only non-believers, those who reject Christ, will have to face. Believers will also be judged, but we stand before the Bema seat of Christ. Our judgment is not for salvation or damnation, but for reward/s. That which is of Christ, we will receive a reward for. That which is not of Christ will burn in the fire, but we ourselves will be saved.
4) The lake of fire was created for the devil and his angels. Satan will eventually be cast into the lake of fire, along with all his angels. Non-believers, those who have rejected Christ will stand before the Great White Throne Judgment, and they too will be cast into the lake of fire.
2) describe paradise, and how individuals are assigned to each side.
3) describe "the great white throne judgement".
4) describe "the lake of fire", and who will face that punishment.
i thank you...
