The Second Death



Greatness Of Christ’s Sacrifice (Hebrews 9:23-28)

 

Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things, in The Heavens, should be Purified with these, but The Heavenly Things Themselves, with Better Sacrifices, than these.  For Christ (Jesus Christ), has NOT entered The Holy Places made with hands, which are copies of The True, but into Heaven Itself, now to Appear in The Presence of God (God Almighty) for Us (Believers); NOT that He (Jesus Christ) should Offer Himself (Jesus Christ) often, as The High Priest enters The Most Holy Place every year with blood of another, He (Jesus Christ) then would have had to suffer often since The Foundation of The World; but NOW, ONCE at The End of The Ages, He (Jesus Christ) has Appeared, to Put Away sin, by The Sacrifice of Himself (Jesus Christ).  And as it is Appointed for Men to die ONCE, but after this The Judgment, so Christ (Jesus Christ) was Offered ONCE, to Bear the sins of Many.  To those (Believers) who eagerly wait for Him (Jesus Christ), He (Jesus Christ) will Appear a Second Time, apart from sin, for Salvation.

 

The Persecuted Church (Revelation 2:8-11)


“And to The Angel of The Church in Smyrna write, ‘These Things says, The First and The Last (Jesus Christ), who was dead, and came to Life: “I (Jesus Christ) KNOW, Your Works, Tribulation, and Poverty (but YOU are Rich); and I (Jesus Christ) KNOW, the blasphemy of those (Unbelievers), who say they (Unbelievers) are Jews and are NOT, but are a synagogue of Satan.  Do NOT fear any of those things, which YOU (Believers) are about to suffer.  Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of YOU (Believers) into prison, that YOU (Believers) may be Tested, and YOU (Believers) will have Tribulation, Ten Days.  Be Faithful until death, and I (Jesus Christ) will give YOU (Believers), The Crown of Life (Everlasting Life, in God’s Immediate Presence).  “He (Believers) who has an ear, let him (Believers) hear, what The Spirit says to The Churches.  He (Believers) who Overcomes shall NOT be hurt by The Second Death.”’

Satan Bound 1,000 Years (Revelation 20:1-3)

 

Then I (John) saw an Angel coming down from Heaven, having The Key To The Bottomless Pit and a Great Chain in his (The Angel) hand.  He (The Angel) laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him (the dragon) for a Thousand Years; and he (The Angel) Cast him (the dragon) into The Bottomless Pit, and shut him (the dragon) up, and Set a Seal on him (the dragon), so that he (the dragon) should deceive The Nations NO more, till The Thousand Years were finished.  But after These Things, he (the dragon) MUST be released, for a little while.

 

The Saints Reign With Christ 1,000 Years (Revelation 20:4-6)


And I (John) saw Thrones, and They sat on Them, and Judgment was Committed to Them.  Then I (John) saw The Souls of Those (Believers), who had been Beheaded for Their Witness (Preaching The Gospel) to Jesus (Jesus Christ) and for The Word (The Holy Bible) of God (God Almighty), who had NOT worshiped the beast or his image, and had NOT received his mark on Their (Believers) Foreheads or on Their (Believers) Hands.  And They (Believers) Lived and Reigned with Christ (Jesus Christ) for a Thousand Years.  But The Rest of The Dead, did NOT Live again, until The Thousand Years were Finished.  This is The First Resurrection.  Blessed and Holy is he (Believers), who has part in The First Resurrection.  Over such The Second Death, has NO power, but They (Believers) shall be Priests of God (God Almighty) and of Christ (Jesus Christ), and shall Reign with Him (Jesus Christ) a Thousand Years.

 

Satanic Rebellion Crushed (Revelation 20:7-10)


Now, when The Thousand Years have Expired, Satan will be Released from his (Satan’s) Prison and will go out to deceive The Nations, which are in The Four Corners of the Earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the Sea.  They went up on The Breadth of the Earth and surrounded The Camp of The Saints (Believers) and The Beloved City (Jerusalem).  And Fire came down from God (God Almighty) out of Heaven and Devoured Them.  The devil, who deceived them, was Cast into The Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are.  And they will be Tormented day and night, Forever and ever.

 

The Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15)


Then I (John) saw a Great White Throne and Him (Jesus Christ) who sat on it, from whose (Jesus Christ) Face, the Earth and The Heaven, Fled Away.  And there was found NO place for them (the Earth and The Heaven).  And I (John) saw The Dead, small and great, standing before God (God Almighty), and Books were opened.  And Another Book was opened, which is The Book of Life.  And The Dead were Judged, according to their works, by the things which were Written in The Books.  The Sea gave up The Dead, who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up The Dead, who were in them.  And they were Judged, each one according to his works.  Then Death and Hades were Cast into The Lake of Fire.  This is The Second Death.  And ANYONE (Unbelievers) NOT found, Written in The Book of Life, was Cast into The Lake of Fire.

All Things Made New (Revelation 21:1-8)


Now, I (John) saw a New Heaven and a New Earth, for The First Heaven and The First Earth, had Passed Away.  Also there was NO more Sea.  Then I, John, saw The Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God (God Almighty), prepared as a Bride, Adorned for Her Husband.  And I (John) heard a Loud Voice (God Almighty’s) from Heaven saying, “Behold, The Tabernacle of God (God Almighty) is with Men (Believers), and He (God Almighty) will Dwell with Them (Believers), and They (Believers) shall be His (God Almighty’s) People.  God (God Almighty) Himself, will be with Them (Believers) and be Their (Believers) God (God Almighty).  And God (God Almighty) will wipe away every tear from Their (Believers) Eyes; there shall be NO more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be NO more pain, for The Former Things have Passed Away.”  Then He (God Almighty) who sat on The Throne said, “Behold, I (God Almighty) make All Things NEW.”  And He (God Almighty) said to me (John), “Write, for These Words are True and Faithful.”  And He (God Almighty) said to me (John), “It is Done!  I (God Almighty) Am, The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End.  I (God Almighty) will give of The Fountain of The Water of Life, Freely, to him (Believers) who Thirsts.  He (Believers) who Overcomes shall Inherit All Things, and I (God Almighty) will be his God (God Almighty) and he (Believers) shall be My (God Almighty’s) Son.

But (Unbelievers) the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, shall have their (Unbelievers) part, in The Lake which burns with Fire and Brimstone, which is The Second Death.”


Fellow Believers, the phrase, “The Second Death”, is ONLY found in The Book of Revelation (4 times, Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 20:14, and 21:8).  So, let’s take a closer look, at these passages:

In Revelation 2:11, “He (Believers) who has an ear, let him (Believers) hear, what The Spirit says to The Churches.  He (Believers) who Overcomes shall NOT be hurt by The Second Death.” 

In Revelation 20:6, “Blessed and Holy is he (Believers), who has part in The First Resurrection.  Over such The Second Death, has NO power, but They (Believers) shall be Priests of God (God Almighty) and of Christ (Jesus Christ), and shall Reign with Him (Jesus Christ) a Thousand Years.”

In Revelation 20:14-15, “Then Death and Hades were Cast into The Lake of Fire.  This is The Second Death.  And ANYONE (Unbelievers) NOT found, Written in The Book of Life, was Cast into The Lake of Fire.”

And in Revelation 21:7-8, “He (Believers) who Overcomes shall Inherit All Things, and I (God Almighty) will be his God (God Almighty) and he (Believers) shall be My (God Almighty’s) Son.

But (Unbelievers) the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, shall have their (Unbelievers) part, in The Lake which burns with Fire and Brimstone, which is The Second Death.”


As YOU (Believers) can see, “The Second Death”, is being Cast into The Lake of Fire, to be SEPARATED from God Almighty’s Immediate Presence, Forever, for Eternity, that’s the bad news.

The Good News for Us (Believers) is, “He (Believers) who Overcomes shall Inherit All Things, and I (God Almighty) will be his God (God Almighty) and he (Believers) shall be My (God Almighty’s) Son.”  This means, We (Believers) will be in God Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All the rest of The Children of God Almighty (Fellow Believers), Forever, for Eternity!  Now, that’s (being in God Almighty’s Immediate Presence) definitely something truly unimaginable but wonderful, for Us (Believers), to look forward to!

Fellow Believers, I want to encourage YOU, to read and truly study The Holy Bible, for yourselves, so God Almighty can teach YOU, what He wants YOU to know and share.  Amen.
