Revelation 2:11

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”’

·        The second death is separation from God in the lake of fire forever (Rev. 20:1, 14).

·        The Judgment Seat of Christ and then the second death show forth the “great reversal” in history when righteousness is seen as wise and valuable and sin is seen as a terrible waste of life.

 Isaiah 48:16  “Come near to Me, hear this:  I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, I was there.  And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit have sent Me.”

Zechariah 7:12  “Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets.  Thus great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.
