At the end of the Millennium, the dead are raised from Hades and the sea, and they face the final judgment at the Great White Throne. Hades (the place of the dead) is emptied as the dead are brought up for final judgment. It’s not a place of torment, but a temporary holding area for souls that will be judged at the end of the Millennium. The wicked will be judged at the Great White Throne, while believers who are awaiting the final judgment are now in a new paradise with God. After the final judgment, Hades is cast into the lake of fire, which is the final punishment, thought by some to be of endless duration. When we examine the original Greek of the New Testament, we find that this view is erroneous as it derives from Latin and English translations, neither of which correctly represent the meaning of the Greek. In NT Greek, only God is described as endless. The lake of fire is not. A growing number of Greek scholars and theologians take the view that hell is not forever. Interestingly, this was also the majority view of theologians in the first century. They held to the Biblical doctrine of ‘apokatastasis’, which states that God will ultimately restore all things, and that Christ will ultimately draw all people to Himself, just as He promised He would.
