(Revelation 2:11) KJV

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. (Revelation 2:11)

NIV – Whosoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death. (F)

References; F- Rev.20:6> Blessed and holy are those who share 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.

Rev.6:14> The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

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—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

Reflection Believers and unbelievers alike experience physical death on this earth. Then the time will come when all people will be resurrected. Believers in Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal life in his new creation. Those who don’t believe in Jesus or who oppose him will be resurrected to be judged and sentenced to a second death, eternal separation from God. (Rev.20:14>Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Rev.21:8,27>But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. “Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.Rev.22:15>Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood)

Follow Christ even unto your death and your reward shall be great! Life—and that eternal! Nevermore shall the sting of death be felt. Nevermore shall the wasting of the body be remembered. Life! Life! Life! To worship the Son forever, casting down glory upon glory at His feet—so is the beautiful destiny of all those who believe! So take heart in your faith and taste the true and everlasting life!
