Journey to and through the Second Death begins its search where it should-with the first death. Bible believers hold widely diverse opinions on the first death-annihilation, full consciousness in death, and unconscious death, so a solid biblical definition of death is established before inquiries into the second death are presented. Technical issues are addressed in common language.This study has two goals. First, it seeks to bring the discussion of many unanswered and shadowy questions to discussion and resolution: Where are the dead? Are they conscious? Is the second death a repetition of the first death? Is the lake of fire literal fire? Can spiritual beings be tormented by literal fire? Why is the lake of fire not named the second death until the great white throne judgment? It is in existence through the whole previous age. The second goal of this study is to bring the reader to the apostle John's perspective. What is the biblical approach to understand John's visions? What did John see, and what do the things he saw mean? This is the second edition of this title.
