Scripture................................... Greetings Toto! The phrase "second death" is only used four times in the Bible. All four occurances are in the book of Revelation. Two of the verses define who will not be effected by the second death. Two of the verses define the second death. Here are the two which define who will not be effected by the second death. 1) Rev. 2:11 - "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death." 2) Rev. 20:6 - "Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years." Here are the two which define the second death. 3) Rev. 20:14 - "Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death." 4) Rev. 21:8 - "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Thus, the second death refers to what we would normally think of as hell. It is the final destination of all those who have rejected Christ. Those who have accepted Christ will never experience the second death because it is primarily enteral seperation from God. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Spritual or Physical ? | Rev 21:8 | toto | 24953 | ||
Thanks Tim! Is the 2nd death spiritual or physical? I'm having difficulty with accepting it as spiritual death because I understand that non-bleievers are already spiritually dead? | ||||||
4 | Spritual or Physical ? | Rev 21:8 | Morant61 | 24958 | ||
Greetings Toto! Since the "second death" is speaking of Hell, I would say that it is more spiritual than physical. Most who are thrown into the lake of fire have already died physically, while some may have still been alive. I think the key point is that this will be an eternal seperation from God.
