1 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Makarios | 7652 | ||
Cephas, here's a few sources on Rev. 20:14... Nelson's NKJV Study Bible.. "Death and Hades refers not only to dying, but to existence beyond the grave (Rev. 1:18; 6:8). The picture here is of all intermediate abodes of human bodies giving them up to God's judgment. While unbelieving humanity is judged according to its works, Death and Hades, the Lord's final enemy (see 1 Cor. 15:26), is also destroyed by being cast into the lake of fire. The second death is spiritual and eternal, the just punishment of the wicked. The first death is physical dying. Both are included in the overall meaning of the death that came upon the human race because of Adam and Eve's sin (see Gen. 2:16,17; 3:1-19; Rom. 5:12)." The MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV) comments on Rev. 1:18, "Death and Hades are essentially synonyms, but death is the condition and Hades, equivalent to the OT Sheol, the place of the dead." The Oxford Annotated RSV states, "Death and Hades (the temporary abode of the dead) are personified." Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse states, "All those who have made a covenant with death, and an agreement with hell, shall then be condemned with their infernal confederates, cast with them into the lake of fire, as not being entitled to eternal life, according to the rules laid down in the scripture..." Hope this helps.. -Nolan |

2 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7671 | ||
Nolan: Thank you for the good information on death and Hades. Indeed "death is the condition and Hades...the place of the dead." Since it is persons, not conditions or places, that are tormented, then the logical (and biblical) conclusion would be that, no, death and Hades are not tormented forever. I suppose that if one asks the same question enough times, he may eventually get the answer he wants to hear. |

3 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7761 | ||
I presume that this postscript is directed at me.What answer do you think I want to hear? Are you implying that I do not want to "hear" the truth? I have not yet had a reasoned response to my question.Ad hominem attacks are at least uncivil and lethal to debate. | ||||||
4 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | kalos | 7767 | ||
Ask the Jehovah's Witnesses. They make a career of denying the fundamental Bible doctrine of the everlasting punishment of the lost. | ||||||
