Every woman on this planet should listen to the series ‘The Proverbs 31 Woman’. I just listened and it has changed my life. When I began to listen, I told God I am so far from this kind of Godly woman. I wanted to turn it off. But the Lord kept pushing me on! I now understand it is about the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). The inner man. A meek and quiet spirit. One who isn’t easily provoked to anger. They will put up with injuries done to them and not retaliate. Quietly submitting all to God. Believing others better than herself (Philippians 2:3). This has not been my nature. As I always have been a fighter. Believing I had to fight for my rights. To keep people from trampling on me! Now the Lord says give that up! Stop fighting for yourself and fight for me! Fight the good fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12. Let me give you a meek and quiet spirit which is in my sight a great price. This is the whole adorning of a Proverbs 31 Woman. The outward beauty is esteemed by men but the inward beauty is esteemed by God! Amen!” Karen Cochran

WHY ARE WOMEN SO UNDER ATTACK IN THIS LAST HOUR BEFORE CHRIST’S RETURN?

The reason women are so under bombardment, unrelenting attack from the enemy of souls, is due to the power of a God fearing woman!

God fearing women are pleasant, full of the love, joy, and peace of God (Galatians 5:22-23). They are the LORD’s treasure and consequently an inestimable blessing to all. Proverbs 31. Nothing replaces a God-fearing woman.

“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” 1 Timothy 2:9-15

Ladies, if you don’t view your marriage as your place to humbly, quietly SERVE God by serving your husband and children, you are out of His will and in need of repentance. One pastor said “Women have the highest place in Christ’s kingdom – servant” (Matthew 23:11). Read, pour prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 each morning this week. Cry out to God to break you to the core of your being. Let it be dear LORD, in Jesus’ name. It’s time to get down low beloved of God… go deep into the death of Christ that He might raise you upward in His grace and for His eternal glory! HE is able! We must do things His way and no other – the way of the cross (Luke 9:23-24).

“I listened to the Proverbs 31 women series and I’m touched. Thank you for your ministry.” T.

“WOW!!! This series is EXCELLENT!!! I just finished part 3 on the Proverbs 31 series; that is EXCELLENT teaching and… my-my-my, you have really hit it on the nail about churches allowing self-proclaiming Jezebel in (pastors wife, prophetesses, intercessors, garbage, etc). It’s an excellent teaching that really exposes how apostate “churches” are! This series is an answer to PRAYER because I had been asking God to direct or connect me to this very thing. I’ve got to start reading my King James Bible now. I’ll be starting part 4 this evening. Powerful truths in this series that I’ve NEVER heard in any church, but it’s all King James Bible truth!” A. (More comments from listeners below)

The virtuous woman takes good, loving care of her husband, children, and is very industrious. In Proverbs 31 we see she sold real estate, made clothes (textiles) etc. She is a magnificent creation of a great and loving God – for HIS purposes and not her own.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Proverbs 31:10

There is nothing in God’s creation so beautiful as HIS women, the virtuous woman. Why would any dear lady want anything less? 

The content of this video addresses our Maker’s original purpose and blessing of the female. This is a refreshing and yet resolute exploration and declaration of God-fearing womanhood that has and is transforming lives. The godly woman is irreplaceable. Satan knows this and from the Garden of Eden till today, unceasingly seeks to derail women with an alternate, iniquitous, rebellious image of what God has designed and ordained for women. Any woman not pouring prayerfully over Holy Scripture concerning the LORD’s purpose, design, mandate and will for women, is completely deceived and the prey of the wicked one.

God ordains that women are to be protected under the servant leadership of Godly men.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS SERIES:

“I have enjoyed listening to this.” Penny

“We love this podcast!” (From a lady who serves in a ministry group to incarcerated women, etc.)

I’m currently listening to this series. I love it. There are lots of gems that I can apply to my own life that I did not know before. Everything mentioned is backed up with scriptures…. (later) Loved the Proverbs 31 podcast series. A must for every woman.” Maureen Lundie

“Awesome I think God is getting ready to move on a Bible study in my home. I’m praying that He sends the right women and this Proverbs 31 audio series is what I’m going to use to help us be what The Lord created us to be biblically! Your ministry is such a magnificent gift and blessings to my family! I’m praying my daughter joins in this study.” Cassandra

EXCELLENT and beautiful truth that was well said. Sad to say we don’t see enough of this truth due to the loss of reverent fear of God in the churches due to pride. That overflows into marriages, and the children seemed to had to pay the price for this lack of obedience. Thanks for posting this!” Nancy Cote

I’ve been listening to these podcasts all week, love this teaching, even sent it to another friend.” Laurie Cox

I just finished listening to your audio on women who fear God, Proverbs 31 Women. Amazing! How the devil keeps women in bondage to the lie that he tells us! So glad I listened again. This is so helpful and freeing. Keep standing your ground. God is in this mightily.” CB

“Hallelujah I got to listen to your podcast on the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman ???❤️❤️❤️❤️! What a wonderful magnificent blessed gift of God to be a virtuous woman”” Cassandra

“This series was a real blessing. It was an excellent teaching. Honestly, it changed my life and my marriage. Now I realize many of the problems in my marriage were actually being caused by my not being fully submitted to God’s Word in this area. I have always sought to please the Lord, but we are unable to do that unless we are willing to deny ourselves and heed the full counsel of God’s Word and sound instruction. After completing this series on the family, Jezebel was broken in me! I wept for days in repentance and sorrow for my sin. I had a renewed sense of purpose and regained the joy of my calling to being a godly wife, a mother and a keeper of the home. Praise God!!!! Our mother’s sold us into the slavery of feminism and the lie of seeking self-esteem instead of the Savior and we as women who fear God are having to break free from these false gods of self. The Lord is able to deliver if we will simply humble ourselves, listen, and obey.” S.T.


“This teaching is very good. Great to know you’ve got a backbone. Great truth that the family came before the church. The family is our greatest ministry.” Jeni N.


“This is so good!!” Gina Mondello


“God is so kind and merciful, brother, it’s beyond adequate words, I cannot fully express his kindness and mercy towards me, a sinner. I used to have a horrific… and I mean HORRIFIC Jezebel spirit in my life… and I made my married life miserable. I admit it and I’m so sorry I did! It was in 2008 that God opened my eyes to Jezebel and I repented… and in the process I had to apologize to my husband several times and remind him several times that he leads this family with Christ as his head. It’s a process… and God has done a lot of cleaning inside me… it’s not over, but I have to tell you… our married life is running so much better now! It is very relaxing and enjoyable.” A.


“This is a needed message and right on the mark. Listening was time very well spent. Thanks.” Chris S.


“It’s wonderful.” Gayle


“You have just freed me of my role in the woman’s place in the Church.” Carol B.


“Very good teaching!!” Stephanie P.


“It was such a blessing to listen through – Very good study! Fresh inspiration and encouragement! It made me very happy to hear the truth of the Word and also God’s heart behind it being expressed! (Oh how that can drastically change the view when that is understood!) I also appreciated the balance of the message. It reveals the wicked woman’s ways. It causes God fearing men and women alike to tremble at the thought of ever being ensnared by the likes or ever becoming like her! To my joy and inspiration, you were very expressive of God’s heart about godly women also! How encouraging it was to hear the godly woman spoken of so lovingly and her nature and works so esteemed, making obvious that she was considered as equally valuable and loved. Yet, not changing her role to try to prove it.” Michelle M.


“People don’t know what “shamefacedness” is anymore. I had to look it up, myself (in summa theologica). But it’s really based on fear of God; fear of disappointing Him by allowing immoral thoughts or deeds (or perhaps the perception of them, of being identified with them) in our lives. The ability to blush. An innocence of heart that wants no part with evil.” Jane Clark


“Excellent. What a wonderful encouragement to women today who don’t hear this Scripture taught and don’t see much of it lived out around them. We are blasted on every side, and at every turn, by the world and its ways of thinking which are NOT according to God’s Word and will … and therefore are Antichrist. God has called us to “come out from among them” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Christ is our only true “Liberator” and has set us free from the bondage of darkness — Satan and his power that is so evident in our world today — to embrace fully all of what God created us for and who He calls us to be.” Debbie L.


“This podcast changed my life. I realized I am not naturally a Proverbs women. And need to be taught by the Lord. The only way to become a Proverbs 31 woman is to be totally surrendered to Jesus. It’s about the hidden man of the heart. 1 Peter 3:4. The inner man that only God can change. The Lord can give us a meek and quiet spirit. Total opposite of my nature. As I learned while I listened to this podcast.” Karen Cochran

Delighting in the LORD [podcast]


Many have set up their altar to the false gods of church, church attendance, mere men in ministry, etc., and not at the feet, the throne of Jesus Christ. These are examples of some of the most insidious, the most subtle forms of damnable idolatry.

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” Revelation 22:1

Our lives in Christ must be built around His throne and not a certain church building or Sunday morning event (Jeremiah 17:12; Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews 4:14-16; Revelation 22:1).

Memory truth:

“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12

Heaven is where God is and He’s your headquarters. The LORD Himself is “the place of our sanctuary.”

For many, going to “church” seems to take the place of diligently seeking and knowing, loving, and obeying the LORD. The foundation of such a person will not sustain them in this last hour (Matthew 7:19-29; 24; Luke 21; Hebrews 12:24-28).

The LORD speaks much of the importance of foundations (Psalms 11:3). Those who base their life in Christ on a certain ministry or church gathering or organization, do not have the sure, divine foundation to sustain them in this late hour. Everything is going to be shaken and only that which is truly and soundly grounded in Christ will be left standing.

Like Abel, who chose to do things God’s way and no other way, those who do the same, will be established in Christ the Rock and not be moved.

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:24-29

Regrettably, so many, who have simply gotten lost in the church crowd, have not established that intimate, individual place in the sanctuary of the LORD. The coming storms will inevitably uproot them if there is no change, no repentance, and seeking the face of the LORD for themselves. Jesus saves us to establish us.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:6-10

False churches today seek to sell families on the need to join their country club where’s there’s fun for the whole family. These beguilers cater to the urban family to build their church business, with no intention of preaching the whole counsel of God’s Word, the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel (Jude 3-4). Their goal is to entertain and to grow their church enterpri$e and not to ground their prey in Christ (Colossians, etc.). It’s all surface level, cosmetic. There is no blood of Jesus, no King James Bible, no cross – no crucified life, no Holy Ghost baptism, no repentance, no holiness, no Christology, no readiness for the soon return of Christ, etc.

If you memorize this Bible verse below and speak it, often, your heart, your direction, your life will be divinely moved upward to the LORD! Memorize 1 Chronicles 16:11 beginning now.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Those who delight in the LORD, delight to do His will.

“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalms 40:8

“STAY UPON THE LORD”

This is a Recurring Theme in Isaiah and Throughout Holy Writ

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall STAY UPON the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.” Isaiah 10:20

“For they call themselves of the holy city, and STAY THEMSELVES UPON the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.” Isaiah 48:2

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and STAY UPON his God.” Isaiah 50:10

The LORD is NOT available to the casual seeker. Think about that.

“He is a rewarder of THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.” Hebrews 11:6

Our LORD rewards those who “diligently seek him.”

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14

In the ensuing verses (Jeremiah 29:15-19), God pronounces a judgment on His people for following those false leaders who sit upon the seat of David yet didn’t have an obedient heart after the LORD. Today is no different where you have people following false leaders who pretend to be representing Christ and yet, are compromised with false doctrine and worldliness.

Shannon Cook writes:

“Delight yourself in the LORD (Jesus) and He will give you the desires of thine heart. Jesus Christ IS in fact, the greatest desire of the heart of man. ‘Delight yourself in Me (Jesus), and I will give Me to you.’ Makes perfect sense!”

May God bless us with a John 17 and John 15 oneness abiding relationship with Him, possessed with a poor in spirit disposition, and pure heart after the LORD (Matthew 5:3, 6, 8). In Jesus’ Name.

We have nothing outside of what we have in Christ! Read Colossians 1 and 2.

So love Jesus and aren’t seeking His holy face daily, diligently? Not. Turn back to God in repentance, now.  

The bless-ed word “delight” appears several times in God’s Word.

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4

TODAY, THERE’s nothing more important for me to be doing than seeking the face of the LORD Almighty – to be “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)
 
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28
 

Having a heart after God is something that is a daily, a moment to moment choice, a decision, which must be cultivated in us.

David, the man after the heart of the LORD, is a glorious example to us.

“I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” Acts 13:22

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. … When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” Psalms 27:4, 8

“My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.” Psalms 57:7

“My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:8

As can be seen in the following verse, legal or religious mindset causes obedience, serving God to the LORD to seem like drudgery.

“To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.” Jeremiah 6:10

Those living under grace operate in grace, in their heart of hearts, delight to obey their Savior.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” 1 John 5:3

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

The LORD our Maker alone can truly satisfy, all the way to the marrow of the bone, to the depth of the human heart!

“For I have satiated (fully satisfy) the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.” Jeremiah 31:25

All who are not full of Christ via knowing and seeking Him, delighting in and worshipping Him perpetually, are full of misery – from which they shall never escape, unless they repent and let Jesus be the King, the LORD, the Master of their lives.

The Bible is music to the ears of truth-seeking followers of Christ! They pour prayerfully of the words of Holy Scripture daily, as they seek the face of the LORD.

Times of fasting and prayer are doing yourself a favor and not God. Yes. You are crucifying self, getting self out of God’s way so that Christ is reigning in your life in place of sinful self! This should be viewed with absolute delight! (Psalms 37:4; Hosea 6:6; Matthew 9:13, etc.). You are crying, you are driving a stake in the ground and declaring: “LORD, You must increase but I must decrease! (John 3:30) That’s the “daily” operation of the cross God has ordained to be transpiring in our lives (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20, etc.).

“We would worry less if we praised more. THANKSGIVING is the enemy of discontentment and dissatisfaction.” Harry Ironside

Powerful resurrection life teeming in and through our lives requires a going down deep into the death the resurrection of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). There is no shortcut.

“WE WOULD SEE JESUS.” John 12:20-21 

Detox your inner man! Detox your spirit, soul, and body! How? Fasting and Prayer! Delighting in the LORD (Psalms 37:4). Fasting and prayer begins with being done, being fed up, being exhausted of the iniquitous nature that has driven us into darkness, into dismal ditches with guilt, shame, and forfeited blessings the result! Our desire now and henceforth is for Christ to reign supreme in our lives and not self! Self, sin must be dethroned. Serving self instead of the Savior has ushered in every single evil thing into our lives and we now stand forth and declare that Christ must increase but we must decrease! (John 3:30) We do this now with more than just words – also with a holy resolve, a driving of the stake deep into the ground, singly focused on the reign of Heaven’s coming KING, on the seat, the throne of our hearts. The reins of our lives are reserved for Him to reign, no longer us! 

“Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 58:14

“It has been said that no great work in literature or in science was ever wrought by a man who did not love solitude. We may lay it down as an elemental principle of religion, that no large growth in holiness was ever gained by one who did not take time to be often long alone with God.” Austin Phelps

Anita Villarreal exhorts:

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart…..do this and you will live.’ Luke 10:27-28

The death of Jesus. Christ on the Cross is what has drawn men to Himself. Christ did this out of Divine Love for humanity, and LOVE ALWAYS DRAWS. It is the LOVE that men and women need, and wherever they find it they want to come and rest in it’s warmth and tenderness. God’s love is the purest form of true, sincere and unselfish love. Of you haven’t received or known this kind of love, ask Jesus to show you this love and by faith receive it. Let Him cleanse your soul of all impurities and forgive you of all your sins.”

 We were created to know Him!

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8

Our union, our oneness with God is from which all else in His kingdom emanates….

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Romans 14:17

“We are truly living in a time of great apostasy and I would urge each person to seek to know the Lord for yourself as Jesus said in John 17:3 that this is life eternal that we know the only true God and His Son Jesus Christ. In the book of 1 John 5:20 John states that Christ came to give us understanding of the one true God and His son Jesus Christ. David said in Psalms 27:4 that one thing he desired of the Lord and that he would seek after that He could dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of life to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord. I urge people to examine the scriptures and stop trusting in flesh (mere men) for the scripture states that curse is the man that trust in man and makes flesh his arm whose heart has depart from the Lord (Jerm 17:5). Any real man that God has called will only point you to Lord not himself. Wake-up Church those who have an ear to hear what Lord is speaking to His true body.” Matthew Washington

“He Appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of Himself” [podcast]


Why did Jesus come?

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he
said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave
up the ghost.” John 19:30

This revelation in the above words of the Messiah— “It is
finished”—is consistent with the whole divine unveiling of
Holy Scripture—the redemption of mankind after the fall.

Jesus came to do something and that’s why while dying on
the cross for the sins of the world, He declared “It is
finished” (John 19:30). These are the three most powerful
words ever spoken! What exactly was “finished”?

“For then must he often have suffered since the
foundation of the world: but now once in the end of
the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the
sacrifice of himself.” Hebrews 9:26

Jesus declared mercy and forgiveness over mankind while
He was dying to provide redemption on that cross: “It is
finished” (John 19:30). This simply means “paid in full.” The
price for sin has been fully paid. The claims of the Father’s
justice were perfectly satisfied, paid in full by the precious,
sinless blood of the Son of God. All men are now invited to
come to Him, repent and believe upon the LORD Jesus Christ
for redemption—mercy and forgiveness (Colossians 1:14).

On that cross, the LORD Jesus declared: “It is finished” and
“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”
(John 19:30; Luke 23:34).

Prayer: Father I rejoice in the precious blood of Jesus shed for
my sin—to bring me to You for an eternal relationship.

8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in the Lake of Fire [podcast]


8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in Hell

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

“The second death”

[which is the second death] The second death is the lake of fire, or the second separation from God in hell (Rev_2:11; Rev_20:14; Rev_21:8).

Of Revelation 21:8, Adam Clarke writes the following:

Revelation 21:8

But the fearful – Δειλοις· Those who, for fear of losing life or their property, either refused to receive the Christian religion, though convinced of its truth and importance; or, having received it, in times of persecution fell away, not being willing to risk their lives.

And unbelieving – Those who resist against full evidence. And sinners, και ἁμαρτωλοις, is added here by about thirty excellent MSS., and is found in the Syrian, Arabic, some of the Slavonic, and in Andreas and Arethas. On this evidence Griesbach has admitted it into the text.

The abominable – Εβδελυγμενοις· Those who are polluted with unnatural lust. (sodomites, lesbians Romans 1)

And murderers – Φονευσι· Those who take away the life of man for any cause but the murder of another, and those who hate a brother in their heart (.

And whoremongers – Πορνοις· Adulterers, fornicators, whores, prostitutes, and rakes of every description.

Sorcerers – Φαρμακοις· Persons who, by drugs, philtres, fumigations, etc., pretend to produce supernatural effects, chiefly by spiritual agency.

Idolaters – Ειδωλολατραις· Those who offer any kind of worship or religious reverence to any thing but God. All image worshippers are idolaters in every sense of the word.

And all liars – Και πασι τοις ψευδεσι· Every one who speaks contrary to the truth when he knows the truth, and even he who speaks the truth with the intention to deceive; i.e., to persuade a person that a thing is different from what it really is, by telling only a part of the truth, or suppressing some circumstance which would have led the hearer to a different end to the true conclusion. All these shall have their portion, το μερος, their share, what belongs to them, their right, in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death, from which there is no recovery.

“21:8 But not all are overcomers. Some are cowardly, afraid to confess Christ; unbelieving, unwilling to trust the sinner’s Savior; sinners, all those who remain in their sins, whether guilty of the gross iniquities listed here or not; abominable, given over to disgusting immorality; murderers, malicious and savage killers; sexually immoral, practicing fornication and other forms of sexual sins; sorcerers, those who traffic with evil spirits; idolaters, insulting God by worshiping images; and all liars, compulsive deceivers. These will be assigned to the lake of fire as their final destiny.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. … 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:10, 14-15 

One source notes the following:

“Brimstone and fire” refers to the fiery imagery of divine judgment and eternal punishment found in the Bible. It symbolizes God’s wrath, often describing the fate of sinners in hell, and is a phrase used in religious sermons and literature. “Brimstone,” an old word for sulfur, is a key component of this imagery, evoking a smell and heat associated with inescapable, fiery destruction.

Biblical origins

Old Testament:

The phrase originates in the King James translation of the Old Testament, used to describe God’s destruction of enemies. A key example is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

New Testament:

The imagery is used to describe eternal damnation, a common theme in both the Old and New Testaments. In the book of Revelation, for example, it describes those who worship the beast being tormented in a lake of fire and brimstone.

Etymology:

The phrase is a calque of the Biblical Hebrew and Ancient Greek words for “sulfur and fire”.

Geological evidence:
