This brings us to what I stated on the opening page as “THE SECOND DEATH”:

“BLESSED AND HOLY
IS HE WHO HAS PART
IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION:
OVER SUCH THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO POWER…”

Rev. 20:6

“THE SECOND DEATH”

“THEN I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE AND HIM WHO SAT ON IT…
AND I SAW THE DEAD,

SMALL AND GREAT, STANDING BEFORE GOD…
AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS…
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 NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE…THE COWARDLY, UNBELIEVING, ABOMINABLE, MURDERERS, SEXUALLY IMMORAL,
SORCERERS, IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH

BURNS WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE,
WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.”
Rev. 20:11-15 & Rev. 21:8

The physical bodies of all unbelievers will be raised from their graves at the time appointed for second
resurrection. This is the resurrection unto condemnation (Jn. 5::25-29) Their lost and condemned souls
and spirits will be taken from the temporary confinement in Hell and reunited with their resurrected
physical body in order to stand complete (spirit, soul and body) for final judgment at the Great White
Throne Judgment.
Think about this: These are people who have already experienced physical death. This is a people
whose soul and spirit have been confined in the torment of Hell since the day that they physically died.
Now they stand in a resurrected physical body once more, before Jesus Christ (whom they have
rejected), who is obviously going to be the judge who sentences them. Perhaps they believe He will
now spare them from the torment of Hell. After all, they are no longer there! But alas, this is the
SECOND RESURRECTION that leads to THE SECOND DEATH. There is only blessing promised to
those who take part in THE FIRST RESURRECTION. It is only to these that the promise applies,
“…over such the second death has no power.” These miserable souls are about to die physically again
by being cast into the Lake of Fire!
