"SECOND DEATH"

Before we start let us ask for a word of wisdom in YeSHua's precious name ... Amen!
********************************************************************************************

There is a great debate on whether hell is forever. However, those that
make this claim have never read Rev 20:14 for hell is thrown into the lake
of fire. So then they quickly claim, the lake of fire is forever. The lake
of fire is the second DEATH. Do you know the definition of "death?" More
specifically the second death? Let's take a look at these two deaths.

Matt 10:28 (KJS) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to DESTROY both soul and
body in hell.

The death of the flesh is the 1st death. The death of the soul and spirit
is the 2nd Death. Christ telling you do not fear him which can kill the
flesh for they cannot kill the soul. Only God can destroy the soul.

Reve 2:11 (KJS) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second DEATH.

Yes, this was written to all the churches and specifically written here to
the church of Smyrna. Does it say you shall not be hurt of the "first
death?" Why specify the second death?

Reve 20:6 (KJS) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second DEATH hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

These that overcame death by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Reve 20:14 (KJS) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
the second DEATH.

Here you have it. Hell is not eternal. It is cast into the lake of fire.
Come out of the traditions of man and get into your Father's word, line by
line. For those of you that try to redefine the word death here is the
Greek with Strong's numbering.

Rev 20:14 . thanatos:G2288 . haides:G86 . ballo:G906 eis:G1519 .
limne:G3041 . pur:G4442 houtos:G3778 . . deuteros:G1208 thanatos:G2288

2288. thanatos, than'-at-os; from G2348; (prop. an adj. used as a noun)
death (lit. or fig.):--X deadly, (be . . .) death.

That's right the second death is the death of the soul. Gone, blotted out
as if it never existed.

Just as upon repentance your sins are blotted out. Acts 3:19 They are
forgotten as if they never existed. So are those that never came to
repentance He will remember no them more. Isa 43:25

Only those that overcome will not be blotted out of the book of life. Rev
3:5
What does this word blot mean in the Greek? Take a look!

1813. exaleipho, ex-al-i'-fo; from G1537 and G218; to smear out, i.e.
obliterate (erase tears, fig. pardon sin):--blot out, wipe away.

That's a good word "obliterate!"

Reve 3:5 (KJS) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I
will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

God will blot out those that do not overcome. However for those that do
overcome.

Reve 21:4 (KJS) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain: for the former things are PASSED AWAY. (Note: passed away)

Those that do not:

Reve 21:8 (KJS) 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.

Death = to be done away with, blotted out = never existed in the mind = gone
forever only their smoke rises forever and ever.

Reve 19:3 (KJS) And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for
ever and ever.

Now let us put the nail in the coffin on this deception. Let us take a look
at what happens to satan:

Ezek 28:18 (KJS) Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a
fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to
ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Note: satan is brought to ashes = gone = blotted out which is forever and
ever. People, do not let them confuse you. They will tell you hell is
forever, then when you show them Rev 20:14 showing hell is cast into the
lake of fire, they will tell you the lake of fire is forever. Then when you
show them the "second death" they will try and give you another meaning to
the word "death!" So I ask you, do you not know what the word "death"
means? Gone, blotted out, as if they never existed, and finally brought to
ashes and only the smoke of their torment rises forever.

Reve 21:1 (KJS) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

No more sea of fire. There will be no more lake of fire

Now they will quickly point out this one verse. Let's take a look:

Reve 20:10 (KJS) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Now many will use Rev 20:10 to point out that they still exist in torment
for ever and ever but read Rev 14:11. What is this torment forever and
ever.

Reve 14:11 (KJS) And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and
ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

It is the smoke that rises forever and ever, the smoke of their torment.
And to finalize.

Who is our resting place? Christ is our resting place. They are without
rest, because they are without Christ.

Hebr 4:9 (KJS) There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For
he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as
God did from his.

Christ is our resting place. He is our Sabbath. Sabbath = rest. So know
that our Father does not want to hear the souls crying out forever and ever
in torment. There time is over. They are blotted out. He gave everyone
the chance to come to repentance. They choose to be blotted out! Gone as
if they never existed and they will be remember no more.

Have a Blessed Day, in YeSHua's precious name we ask ... Amen!
