Revelation 21:8 (KJV);
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.
The group which will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone are people who profess to know God but yet will not do His commandments. They profess to know God but deny Him with their works.
Titus 1: (16) They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
All “liars” would indeed cover the other 7 categories of people written in Revelation 21.
The liars who profess to know God will not overcome and do His commandments so as to be found His sons and daughters .
Instead, they show that they do not know the Father nor the Son by the works that they will do.
Revelation 21:7-8 KJV (7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (8) 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.
A “liar” is defined as those who say they know God but yet will not keep His commandments. When they say they “know God” and yet do not do His commandments, they show they really don’t know Him.
1 John 2:3-4 KJV (3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If a man says “I love God” and yet hates his brother, then he is a liar as he does not do the commandment of God: he that loves God is to love his brother also.
1 John 4:20-21 KJV (20) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? (21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Again, the “liar” is saying that “I know God” but will not keep His commandments.
A “murderer” is defined as those that hate their brothers. Just by hating a brother is being a “murderer” and is a “liar” for such people say they know God whom they have not seen but hate their brothers whom they have seen.
1 John 3:14-15 KJV (14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. (15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
The liars all will say that they know Him: “Lord, Lord” but will not do the will of the Father which is in Heaven...thereby demonstrating that they do not know the Father nor the Son.
Matthew 7:19-23 KJV (19) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (20) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
The Lord comes to give us an understanding. He sends out His servants as messengers of His words of life and spirit to the churches. Those who have an ear are to hear what the Spirit is saying to them.
Yet, MANY who profess to know God will reject what is being said through the Spirit of Truth and will be found working evil (like Diotrephes) as they will cast out the “devils”…their brothers that they label as such… who will tell them the Truth and will do those things (their supposed "wonderful works") that do not please God.
And while they will do these things, they will believe that they are doing God “service” in His name….doing evil works supposedly in God’s authority. This is loving and practicing of the Lie of the serpent.
(22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
They profess they know God and yet will not do what He says. Jesus professes unto those who will persist to work iniquity when someone will tell them the Truth: “I never knew you”.
(23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
They….the group that will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone…will cast out their brothers (whom they will hate) out of their church gatherings (synagogues = gatherings) and will “kill” as they will label those who will tell them the Truth as “devils” and all the while thinking that they are doing God “service” (supposedly in His name/authority) for their “wonderful works” that are really evil works motivated by their hatred of their brothers.
John 16:1-3 KJV (1) These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. (2) They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
