    Re.20:13-14 "Second death"

    "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

    In the beginning was the Word, of which the Law represents the will of God. the world unseen. The second death is set according to the works, which is the world made to appear so the everlasting covenant refers the blessings that are conferred on man in the Word made flesh. God has his own way of entering faith so works is in context of the eternal Word and the Man to whom God has entrusted. " No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."( John 6:44) 'After our likeness' sets Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd while the Lord God is 'my shepherd'. The unseen emblem of the slain Lamb is made to appear so the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ fulfilling the will of his Father. (" I kept them in thy name,"- John 17:12). This mode of inversion shall continue so second death spells out how our 'works' are evidence, and this body of evidence has been translated into 'works'. Yes, dear brethren do not let false teacher deprive of your prize by their heresies, "And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith./But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. "(2 The.3:2-3). Abiding in Christ and as a branch bringing forth fruits are also part of the evidence.

    God commanded Adam, "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."(Ge.2:17) The Spirit refers to his physical death (Ge.5:5) Second death refers to the unseen world of his soul and he also shall be judged according to the book of life. "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."(v.17). This fire is unquenchable. "For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out."(Pr.24:20). Only the blessed are in the Book of Remembrance. (Mal.3:16)
