Rev 19.20 And the beast was seized, and with this one the false prophet doing signs before it, by which he led astray those having received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping its image. The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone.





και ο διαβολος ο πλανων αυτους εβληθη εις την λιμνην του πυρος και θειου οπου το θηριον και ο ψευδοπροφητης και βασανισθησονται ημερας και νυκτος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων

Rev 20.15 And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.





δειλοις δε και απιστοις και εβδελυγμενοις και φονευσιν και πορνοις και φαρμακευσιν και ειδωλολατραις και πασιν τοις ψευδεσιν το μερος αυτων εν τη λιμνη τη καιομενη πυρι και θειω ο εστιν δευτερος θανατος

Rev 21.8 But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become foul, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the lying ones, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Summary of 81.12:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• 81.12 begins with “wa-itha”, which is a continuation of 81.11, and can be rendered as “remember the time”…hence the information contained in this ayah also existed prior to it being penned in Arabic
• Revelation tells us that all disbelievers will reside in the lake of “pur”, or fire, and “theion”, or brimstone
• 81.12 informs us that “jaheemu”, or the fire, will have many live coals
• Revelation describes the Lake of Fire as “kaio”, or being set on fire; or kindled
• In like fashion, 81.12 mentions it as “suAAAAirat”, or is set ablaze, from the root “sa’ara”, which means to light or kindle a fire
• Revelation tells us that “hades”, or hell, will be thrown into the fire
• Similarly, 81.12 tells us that “jaheemu” refers to Gehenna, or hell, and that it will be set ablaze
• It is beyond reasonable doubt that 81.12 directly refers to the Biblical Lake of Fire as mentioned in the Book of Revelation
