The second death!

Here is God's word clearly, the second death is when all those affected by the second death will be totally wiped out and be gone forever. The second death is different from the first death. The first death is the first "act" while the second death is final "act" for man. No one who has accepted Jesus will be hit by the second death, apart from those who "lose" salvation on the road and not part of sluttfrelsen!

The second death comes after the resurrection and the Judgement. The following passages illustrate this: "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and they were judged, each according to his deeds. And death and Hades (the grave) were cast in lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if someone were no written-in book of life, when he was thrown into the lake of fire. " (Åp.20 0.13 to 15.) The order in which these last things occur, the following. Read from 11 verse. The great white throne turns out, the earth and sky receding away the judge's face, the dead, small and great, stand before God, both sea and earth and Hades have given their dead - the final verdict will take place, those whose names are not in of life book, thrown into the lake of fire, this is the second death!

What will happen to people? Total annihilation, just as it happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, teaches writing.

Many Protestants believe that those who are not saved, will be tormented in a burning hell for all eternity. They have deluded themselves with the Catholic dogma, which is alien to God's Word, and reads the Bible in a pagan tradition.
The meaning of the word forever. The problem is that they are not aware of what the Scriptures mean by "eternal" and "torture." Words are always symbols of something other than itself. The word "car" consists of three letters, but of course no one can put themselves into these characters and run. The word is not the car. If we do not know anything about the real symbol of the word refers to, we can not interpret the word right. So it is with the word "eternal" in the Bible. If we interpret this word to let it mean what we in Norway mean by eternal, forces us to misunderstand the basic text. We must first understand what the word means in the original language. In Greek, the word "aion" and "aionos". In Hebrew "olam". These words derive their time stamp from the concepts they are related to the basic text, but does not in itself the length of time. A parallel opinion is our expression longer, larger or smaller. These words are meaningless alone. They must be tied to something to express a relationship.

Bible "eternal" can mean anything from a very short period of time to infinite time period. An example is the three days Jonah was in the fish's belly. God's word calls time "forever" in Jonas 2.7. It was a short eternity, but felt NOK infinitely long for the Experience, the main character.

An understanding of the relative importance of the "eternal", is essential in order to interpret the Bible's message. Especially important is this insight when we will study what Scripture says about hell.

In Matt. 25.46 we read: "And these (the lost) will go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous to eternal life." You mean when someone that since everlasting life lasts forever, the pain be without end.

Through the doctrine of purgatory, the Catholic Church made Christianity a horrible legacy to bear, and as it has proven difficult to deal with. There is no torture in the Bible because the text. The word in Greek is "kolasis" that under no circumstances can mean torture. But loyalty to purgatory, given the word a meaning it has not. "Kolasis" means "discipline", "punishment" or "reprimand", not torture. When the Bible to describe the suffering, anguish or pain, used the word "basanismos" or "basanos". So is not eternal torment, but the punishment or the consequences of saying no to salvation, is eternal or forever.

In Ap. 14.11 we read in many Bible translations, the antichrist and the whore shall be tormented for all eternity. In Ap. 17.16, states that the same prostitute to "burn with fire." How to harmonize "tormented forever and ever" with "burned with fire?" If the attitude of the Catholic theology laid out and because the text will appear, disappear problem. Adulteress shall receive a punishment that is everlasting and destroyed by a fire that burns as long as there is nothing to burn. When something is burned, there is nothing more to burn. The punishment is "eternal destruction away from the Lord's face." 2 Thessalonians 1.9

The lost shall be to ashes, it says in Mal.4, 3 They will be destroyed. When the fire is eternal and unquenchable, it means that no one can extinguish it before it's all burned. The word eternal is then related to the time it takes to burn up.
Sodom and Gomorrah burned with everlasting fire.
In Judah letter in the New Testament, Chapter 1, 7, does the Bible say that the burned-out cities of Sodom and Gomorrah "is an example of our eyes and suffer the punishment of eternal fire." Burning these cities yet? Josephus, who wrote in the first century, reviews of Sodom, which he says is located near the Dead Sea and was once a great and rich city. He points out that the remains and the contours of the burned city yet (in his time) could be seen, and this also applies to the other four cities God destroyed with fire. The evidence is confirmed with our own eyes, he says, and says that what is picked up from there are only ashes. (The Jewish War, p. 273). The city had ceased to burn. The fire was eternal everything was burned up.
Today the area is a desert just as Jeremiah foresaw it.
Not far from Masada, is an area unlike any you can find other places in Israel, with the exception of the four other cities God did burn the Lot, which also means localized.
When you go into the area, seen once the remains of structures that can hardly be produced by nature itself. The remains of walls and buildings with facade is clearly visible. Chest protection for the walls, støttepallisandere and arch structures can hardly be attributed to chance. Window Formations, street systems and the remains of the ziggurat and the Sphinx indicates a city that once was prosperous and well fortified.
All the remains of Gomorrah is solidified ashes and sprinkled with encapsulated sulfur balls that are easy to ignite when opened. Former U.S. analysis shows that it is about 95.72% sulfur mixed with small amounts of chemical substances will be to cause extremely high temperatures.

Preliminary studies of the phenomenon, indicating that sulfur is not located anywhere else on the globe in the form found here.

It is thus the sulfur balls that are not fully burnt and which is surrounded by a layer of reddish material of a hard, nålformert (like a sea urchin) crystallized capsule ..
Various dictionaries describe precisely both the color and crystalline capsule when the sulfur burner and goes out (solidifies) slowly.

"And ye shall tread down the wicked. They shall be ashes under the soles of their." Template. 4.3
How were the cities that burned?

The Bible says that God made the cities burn with fire and brimstone from heaven, not lying down in the valley that today is the Dead Sea. 1.Mosebok 10.19 and 14,3.8 says that five cities (of which Sodom was one) was the eastern boundary of land of the Canaanites and was such that the inhabitants had to leave the cities and Siddimdalen, which today is the Dead Sea. The cities could not be in the valley when you had to leave them to the valley.

Some archaeologists believe Moabittbyene which is excavated on the south east side of the Dead Sea are the remains of the burned villages. It is difficult to match tame these statements with Scripture. Emim lived in Moab, not kanaaneeme, as the Bible says was the people. Many unburned residues are found in these cities. It has been NOK fires there, but the fire did not come from God, because then everything would have been ashes as the Bible says.
How God destroyed those cities with fire and brimstone, you can read in 1.Mosebok kap.19 and 5.Mosebok 29.23. Today the area is a desert where nobody lives. Jeremiah foresaw it, and writes in Jer.50, 3940, these cities would be like Babylon, a desert, and that no more would be living there.
But the most interesting text is 2. Pet. 2.6: "And he put the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them to destruction, and put them into a model of the wicked in the future."
The eternal fire was extinguished. It burned so long as there was nothing to burn. It is an example of the punishment of eternal fire, we read in Jude letter. A model of the wicked in the future destruction. Everything will become ashes. And as an example, we can now fulfill the words of Mal.4.3: "And then you (the redeemed) trample down the wicked. They shall be ashes under the soles of their ..."

Will the end of this article take my commentaries Judas letter 7 Another example is Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, where people lived in adultery like those angels, and perversion. Now they lie there as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.

It's bad with sin, but sin begets sin. Finally, the sin mature.
James 1 15 When lust has conceived, brings forth sin and when sin is mature, give birth to the death.
We would do well to look seriously at the slightest sin, and the slightest mistake. Judah began to steal the case and later betrayed him Jesus for some lusne silver. In Sodom and three other towns on the plains was the sin of mature and was punished with an eternal flame scripture says that the total extinction, never to rise again, the only thing we see today is the fire effects.
How will it go with all the wicked, they will be totally destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah found in 1.Mosebok 19 scripture says that the eternal fire! God does with His creation just what he wants and has predetermined.
