| Figure NAM-can-062. A frog and a lizard emerging from the gaping mouth of The Dragon of the Last Judgment (the Hell) swallowing the tormented souls of those who have been damned, the subject referred to in the Bible (New Testament), NRSV as follows: ✠ "Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13: 40-42);
✠ "Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.“ ⟨...⟩ “And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”" (Matthew 25: 41, 46);
✠ "And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit; he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given authority like the authority of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to damage the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them." (Revelation 9: 1-6);
✠ "And I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from the mouth of the dragon [δράκον, drakon = "fabulous serpent/dragon" in Greek], from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet." (Revelation 16: 13);
✠ "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20: 14); and
✠ "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." (Revelation 21: 8). |
