Too many people believe that the sinful will burn in hell, but we’ve already discussed  that.There is no “hell”..no great subterranean place, where raging fires  burn everlastingly,and the firey domain is ruled by the Devil or Satan.

The “first” death occurrs to everybody, as Hank Williams sang,  “You never get out of this world alive”.

You may recall from my blog on “DEATH”, as explained by AE.Knoch, co-publisher  of the Concordant  Bible and its founder of its  Concern,  immediately upon  expiring, the Spirit goes direct to God,  the Soul (which so many confuse  as the spirit) passes into the Aral/ether, and of course the body disintegrates  and returns to the  earth.

This is all covered  in more detail in an UNSEARCHABLE RICHES,  once again, please for your sake, subscribe.

Now, as to the  “second death”, I turn to Concordant Publishing  , on line, and find that the  concept  of second death is revealed, interestingly enough,  in Revelations .

As is my usual practice, using the  formula for reporting, WHO,  WHAT, WHERE, HOW WHEN, WHY and,  I’ll tell you what I could glean out  of this partcular  event.

Starting with WHO, I guess you might believe the evil  monsters of this world, Hitler,  Attila,  Stalin, etc.,  maybe the extreme sinners  (whoever they might be). Those selected for the second death, will be  those whose names are not written in the Scroll of Life. God alone  knows who they are.

Too many  have enterpreted WHAT  would occur  to be a horrible,  eternal death.”burn in hell”.WHAT actually is said to occur,  is that those persons would be cast into a “lake of fire”.

WHERE the “lake of fire” would  take place is in the Valley of Gehenna,  down the hill from Jerusalem proper.  I guess that would be a logical place, as Jerusalem will be the capital  of the world.

HOWwould  they die, when  they are cast into  the “lake of fire”?  Their life would be extinguished  in seconds, virtually instantaneously.  A loving God would never allow  a death that was lingering and torturous.

WHEN this occurs, as I undearstand it, will be after the Great White Throne, and judgement is passed.  (this is another subject, best understood by  consulting  CONCORDANT CONCERN on line)

Once again, God alone knows WHY the “second death”, but the best I can undertand, is that following this death  comes the resurrection/revivication, at which time , properly chastized    they are  prepared  to bow before the Lord Jesus Christ,  admitting that He is their Lord  and savior.

When will  revivification  take place?

I imagine that it would be almost immediately following the second death..paulpnbob
