6) Dr. Martin explains the interpretation of this parable in his article The Real Meaning of Lazarus and the Rich Man.  DWS

7) Mishnah Yoma 6:5 [words in brackets are in the original Rodkinson translation]:

The high-priest was told: The goat has reached the desert. How was the fact known? Watches were stationed on high towers [meaning doubtful], who lifted up flags [to give signals]. Said R. Jehudah: They could have excellent evidence [by calculating the time]. From Jerusalem to Beth Hadudo was three miles. DWS

8) R.H. Charles, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, Vol. 2, Oxford, 1913, 2004), p. 231.  DWS

9) Enoch 67:7:

And through its valleys proceed streams of fire, where these angels are punished who had led astray those who dwell upon the earth. DWS

10) For even greater detail regarding these very end-time events, see Dr. Martins article New Prophetic Discoveries Concerning the End Time, where the Valley of Jehoshaphat and the Valley of Decision are indicated in prophecy, complete with maps showing these vital areas. The visual understanding of the text given by these maps will greatly clarify the next several paragraphs.  DWS

11) This is when these events will intersect directly with your life, at your resurrection from the dead. See my article Your Resurrection and the other important articles listed by Dr. Martin on this subject, and particularly in his book The Essentials of New Testament Doctrine (Portland, OR: ASK Publications, 2001), available both online and for sale as a printed book. The apostle Paul gives more information about this moment in 2 Thessalonians 1:710 (Concordant Version): [see article]

12) In 1997 Dr. Martin wrote in his article The Time Periods for the Resurrections:

After the Millennium, Satan will be released to cause a final war, and then he will be placed in the Lake of Fire. Then comes the age of the Great White Throne judgment (which Peter says will also last 1000 years — 2 Peter 3:8). This period begins with the earth and the heavens fleeing away (Revelation 20:11) which results in a new earth and a new heaven described in Revelation 21:1 (these two events are the same). This age begins with a resurrection of all those of the first 6000 years (from Adam to the Second Advent) who were not resurrected at Christs Second Advent (Revelation chapters 21 & 22). [see article for more info]

13) Deuteronomy 30:4 - God speaks of scattering but eventually gathering his people from even "the outmost [parts] of heaven" -KJV. This seems to be referring to all Israelites being gathered from all nations, even from the highest mountains reaching into the farthest heights of the first heaven (the atmosphere), i.e., "the pillars of heaven" (cf. Job 26.11). -EGM

14) For more information on the matter of Gehenna, Hades, Tartarus, and future punishment, see Dr. Martins article The Biblical Teaching of Hell. Some have had problems with Revelation 21:8:

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 burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
This verse seems to refer to events that occur after Revelation 21:5 where all things are created new, including the Lake of Fire. In 21:5 the Lamb tells the apostle John to write the words of Revelation 21:68 that refer to a time before all things are made new. Death has an end (Isaiah 25:8).

Regarding the end of death throughout Gods creation, see The Death of Death.  ELM/DWS
