(1) Did those soldiers go to heaven ?
Actually those soldiers taking up weapons were disobedient to god's order. We must not murder.
The revelation says as for murderer , their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. this means the second death.(Revelation oeve21;8)
What is the burning lake? It's not the hell but the second death
Because the revelation says the written things are not real things but signs.
The revelation 1:1 says" he (Jesus Christ)sent his angel and presented it in signs
through him to his slave John. "
So this burning lake is a sign.
The lake that burns with fire and sulfur where bad people are having affliction does not actually exist in this world. Such a place is not anywhere on the earth.
Center of the earth has so hot melting rocks called Mantle. But of course , this mantle place is not the hell.
This is not the lake where bad people are afflicting. It's just melting High temperatured minerals, only non living things are there and living things can live there.
Jehovah didn't create such place where bad people are drowing in it to have afflictions. This lake means the second death. It has just figurative meaning.
Jesus said ," all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword "(Matthew27:65)
Russian and Ukranian soldiers went to heaven? No. those soldiers perish by sword, or weapons.
If they go to heaven, they are not said they perish.
So if we fight with weapons , we cannot go to heaven.
So this lake is figurative place. This place doesn't exist really or actually.
Second death means final death. When we face the first death, we can come to life ,or we can recreated by Jehovah . We can be resurrected by God.
Jehovah can give us new body , either flesh body or immortal spirit body.
We can come to life again on the earth or to the heaven where Jehovah , Jesus Christ and their angels live.
But the second death means we have no hope to live. Just we die and we cannot get consciousness again. We die forever.
But it doesn't mean everlasting pains of our body. If we die and our body become corrupt, we cannot get any feelings . We cannot get any joy nor pains. (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6)
Just we don't exist. Our characters disapper.
Our existance with distinct characters and diffrent memory disappear from this world. When we face the second death, we will no more exist.
Jehovah can forget our existence.
It's the most sorrow thing.
So we need to ask Jehovah to memorize us.
So the hell doesn't exist. Many people think the burning lake with fire means the hell.
But such a kind place doesn't exist.
The burning lake is just figurative place. This is not a real place.
The lake means the second death. Jehovah is the final judge. Jehovah decides on who will live forever or on who will disappear forever .
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
Emmanuel
