The question, where do the heathen go, would also be good.

I haven't thoroughly studied exchatology but it seems to me that the lake of fire is created in the end, it hasn't been created yet, has it?

And even if it already exists, no one has been placed there yet, have they? I always thought it would remain empty until after the judgment where the believers are separated to the right and the unbelievers to the left.

I have always thought that the dead go to a separated place where believers are sent to one place and the heathen in another before the judgment. Then new heavens are created. Then believers are sent to the new heavens. And the heathen to the lake of fire.

I'm sure I'm probably totally wrong in all of this, so ..... please be gentle.
