If you are a liar you don’t want to die a liar, because on judgement day liars go into the fires. But some reading this will die a liar. They will not believe Jesus is the true light sent by the Father. They will not trust his light and keep his teachings. His light is understanding, comfort, clarity from above; all that is needed to live truthfully, not lying, not doing things that will end with the fires. If you look at Revelation 21:8, you see this lake of fire, as the end for the liar. The liars and others who live in similar ways regarded by God the same kind of way. If you look in Revelation chapter 22 the liars are still around. They are outside the New Jerusalem city. That is the imagery of how Gehenna is a rubbish tip outside Jerusalem from ancient times. Fires get lit on the tip from time to time to burn off smelly or unhygienic or infectious rubbish. The imagery is of fiery rubbish tip ditches burning perpetually outside the holy city. Being thrown out and kept outside with the rubbish is a graphic metaphor for divine gentrification of the city, keeping undesirable wicked people outside, to promote better civilised and righteous life inside. This is the heaven-principled way to try to keep a city from becoming a godless, corrupt dystopia. God and Christ will be the light driving this system of purity of the holy city, the New Jerusalem which is entirely based on these heavenly principles. Liars are kept out. There is outer darkness. The liars and other undesirables, unwelcome in the holy, heavenly-principled city, are forever outside in darkness lacking understanding, clarity, comfort of God’s light and Christ’s light. This is to some extent metaphorical, but the reality closely matches the metaphor: No lie comes from the truth. This in Revelation 22 is all after the second resurrection, so these liars are people who lived as liars in this life now and died as liars, therefore they will be resurrected as liars: liars still, forever. Never to be part of the holy city. To be in the city requires being cleansed in this life of such divinely disapproved behaviour. This takes belief in the light of Christ and adherence to his teachings, even through all the hardships and trials in this life. It takes heavenly power of heavenly truth to free this true disciple from that behaviour, including all kinds of lying.
