- The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. When non-believers die before the Great White Throne Judgment, they go to Sheol (Old Testament) or Hades [New Testament). These are temporary hells, a holding place until the final judgment.

What does Revelation 20 say about the dead?
In Revelation 20:14 (ESV) we read: "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire." The concept of "fire" is used multiple times in the New Testament to refer to a place of final judgment. To list just a few of them:
Death and Hades, as personified representatives of the enemies of Christ' and His Church, are said to be cast into the lake of fire to express the truth that Christ and His people shall never more die, or be in the state of disembodied spirits. This is the second death—"the lake of fire" is added in A, B, and Andreas.
What does Revelation 20:14 mean? What's described in verses 14 and 15 is nothing less than the final, complete accomplishment of total victory over sin. The judgment is complete. Now Death and Hades are cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers spend their lives following the will of the Devil.
Death and Hades also give up their dead. The bodies of all the wicked who died and went into conscious punishment are raised to appear before the great white throne. This verse helps remind us that the state of a person's physical body after death has nothing to do with their eternal destiny.
