Death in the end (2nd death) is separation from God, among other scary details. No need to guess, since the bible is quite clear.
Re 2:11 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.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Re 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Alan seems to be thinking that because Re 20:6 says the believers will reighn on the earth with Christ for 1,000 years that somehow means hell is limited for non-believers. Quite a leap when you consider what Peter said(see my post #3732):
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. |
