The Inscrutable Question: The Great White Throne: Nephilim from the Abyss & Unbelievers from Torments Judged for Their Works, Rev 20:11-15
23)	The trial by jury for those in the Second Resurrection is documented in:
Revelation 20:11 -	I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
v. 12 -	And I saw the dead, the great and small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
24)	The dead are those who were born spiritually dead and who, during their physical life, never acquired eternal life through faith alone in Christ alone.  The “books”—plural—refer to discovery evidence recorded in heaven documenting the works of human good and evil performed by these unbelievers.  The “book”—singular—is the book of life which catalogues every person’s name at the moment of physical birth but from which the names of unbelievers are blotted out at the moment of their physical deaths.  The latter are going to be judged based on their works, not their sins.
Revelation 20:13 -	And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
25)	The sea is the burial place for the Nephilim / NEF‑il‑im /, the half-angel, half-human offspring from the fallen angel’s sexual contamination of the human race in Genesis 6:4.  These half-breeds were drowned in the Noahic flood.  The souls of the Nephilim went to the Abyss, called here the “sea.”  The Nephilim are the source of an oral history transmitted by Noah and his sons to their succeeding generations but corrupted by satanic duplicity and deceit into what has become know as mythology.  If one of their bodies ever turns up in an archaeological dig it will destroy the entire premise of evolution which is that man is evolving to a higher state from a lower state.  These creatures, being half angelic, were magnificent physical specimens and indeed superhuman.
26)	Their remains will challenge evolutionary theology and it will be quite entertaining to hear the explanations the “experts” will concoct to defend their utterly disproved premise.  In addition to the Nephilim, all unbelievers of human history will be judged according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 -	And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  This is the second death, the lake of fire.
27)	Notice that all unbelievers are judged for their works.  Without the imputation of divine righteousness, these are the only things available for them to offer as a reason for them to enter into heaven.  But their good works will be evaluated as an insufficient substitute by comparison to the work of Jesus Christ on the cross made available to them through the undiminished love of God.  Having thus rejected the love of God in favor of their own human good and evil, these unbelievers are sentenced for all eternity into the lake of fire, called the second death.
28)	At no point during the trial are their sins ever mentioned since all human sins were judged in Christ on the cross.
Revelation 20:15 -	And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
29)	The books in this passage are important concepts that teach several principles: (1) eternal security; (2) salvation is through faith alone in Christ alone; (3) it is not achieved by means of works; (4) God’s undiminished love was directed toward all mankind, not just a predetermined few, and (5) the reason those who stand before the Great White Throne are not written in the book of life is because they willingly rejected the love of God in favor of their own human good and evil.
30)	In the ancient world books were sealed with a device that made an impression on a soft substance such as clay or wax.  When the clay or wax hardened it bore the name or crest of the person of authority who sealed the document 
31)	This process served several purposes but the ones pertinent to those under discussion are (1) the formal ratification of a covenant; (2) protection of the book’s contents from tampering; (3) conveyance of delegated authority and power, and (4) an official mark of ownership.
32)	We have recently studied the seven salvation ministries of the Holy Spirit, one of which is His sealing ministry.  This is a figurative concept that involves the sealing of the believer’s name into the book of life.
Ephesians 1:13 -	In Christ, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation and having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise.
v. 14 -	who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
