The Wicked and the 2nd Death

All the wicked will finally be destroyed by "fire." This is plainly stated by the Lord Jesus himself in Matt. 13:41, 42: 1
"The Son of Man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into furnace of firethere shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Also, Matt. 25 :41: "Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels." And also in Mark 9 : 43-47: "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, .... into the fire that never shall be quenched. And if thy foot offend thee cut it off; it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, .... into the fire that never shall be quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire"—gehenna fire. And also, Rev. 20:13-15: "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (hades) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell (hades)were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

The last time the final end of the wicked is spoken of in the Bible is found in Rev. 21:8, and reads thus: "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." This declares that all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone: which is "the second death!'" Mark it; the three last words are —" The Second Death!"
