THE SECOND DEATH

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, 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.”—Rev. 21:7-8.

HE WHO is possessed by the spirit of fearfulness, the spirit of unbelief, an abominable spirit, the spirit of murder, spirit of adultery, spirit of witchcraft, spirit of idol-worship, lying spirit—either in part or severally, such a one will naturally be removed from the earth-plane.

There being no resurrection from the second death, then naturally one possessed by any of the spiritual conditions above mentioned, when removed from the earth-plane, would pass into the second death. One moved by any of these spiritual conditions (forces) is already dead, and is being continually consumed by fire and brimstone, while seeming to be alive to natural eyes; the sentence of death is upon such a one. Finally that one passes into the grave (second death), from which for him there is no resurrection.

We that know the TRUTH, know that there is no resurrection in this age for one who goes to such a grave. In fact, ever since the Lord Jesus ascended and became ONE SPIRIT with the Father, there has been no resurrection outside of HIM. HE is the Resurrection and the LIFE.

Unless the Spirit of Jesus controls a man, then we will find either one or several of the spiritual conditions mentioned above controlling him.

Any one of the above mentioned spiritual forces will send him to the second death. (Dust he was and to dust he returneth). But—the HOUSE that the Lord builds today shall exist forever.—S. T. N.
