11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
11 我又看见一个白色的大宝座与坐在上面的；从他面前天地都逃避，再无可见之处了。12 我又看见死了的人，无论大小，都站在宝座前。案卷展开了，并且另有一卷展开，就是生命册。死了的人都凭着这些案卷所记载的，照他们所行的受审判。13 于是海交出其中的死人；死亡和阴间也交出其中的死人；他们都照各人所行的受审判。14 死亡和阴间也被扔在火湖里；这火湖就是第二次的死。15 若有人名字没记在生命册上，他就被扔在火湖里。
绝对的平等 (Equality Before the Throne)： 文中提到“无论大小”（great and small）都站在宝座前。在终极的审判面前，世俗的地位、财富和成就都失去了意义。这种彻底的平等提醒我们：人生的终点不是你拥有了多少，而是你成为了一个怎样的人，以及你如何度过了被赋予的一生。
“行为”与“名字”的双重检视： 这里提到了两个关键：一是“照他们所行的”，二是“生命册”。这是一种平衡：一方面，我们必须对自己的行为负责，每一份善恶都有其回响；另一方面，更重要的是我们的生命是否与那个永恒的源头相连（即名字记在生命册上）。这呼应了之前（图12）提到的身份感：你不仅要活得对得起这世界，更要活得超越这世界。
死亡的消亡 (The Death of Death)： 第14节提到“死亡和阴间也被扔在火湖里”。这是一个非常深刻的慰藉：在最后的结局中，连“死亡”本身都会死亡。对于那些经历过痛苦、病患和绝望（如图6、图7）的人来说，这意味着痛苦的彻底终结。
