Please show me where any verse in Revelations says that anyone/anything is thrown into the lake of fire [LOF] then they die?
Things don't die, so to ask for that is asking the impossible.
The "lake of fire" is said to be "the second death". That being thrown into a lake of fire causes a second death seems like an obvious possible interpretation. Being cast into such a lake could easily kill a mortal, obviously. And since the mortal had died before, this would be the second time they've died. Hence "second death".
Is there a better interpretation of the term "second death"? In your entire post i don't recall you ever offering such an explanation. Nor even stating what it means.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
100% of of mankind has sinned, the wages of sin is death, it is appointed unto all, 100%, of mankind to die then the judgment. Where does scripture say after the judgment some people die again?
Hebrews 9:27 doesn't say humans are appointed to die ONLY once. It doesn't say they cannot die a second time. How many times did those raised before the general resurrections die?
Where does scripture say after the judgment some people DONT die again? What is the second death?
What do Romans 3:23 & 6:23 have to do with anything?
Everybody is resurrected.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Awake to everlasting contempt not awake then dead again.
How long "everlasting" (OLAM) is here for the unrighteous is not revealed. For Jonah OLAM was about 3 days. The unrighteous will not be resurrected till after the millennial eon (or OLAM) of 1000 years. This is the second general resurrection (Revelation 20:4b-6), the resurrection to the great white throne judgement, associated with the second death, the lake of fire. Those who awake to this judgement may experience "shame" and/or "contempt" based on their giving an account of themselves to God & their works by which they'll be judged. Those not found in the book of life at that time will be cast into the lake of fire, the second death. Nothing here denies that the humans cast into the lake fire will not experience a second death of the same type as their first death.
The lake of fire passages, in context.
Revelation 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.
Revelation 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.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And 1000 years later, the beast and the false prophet, who is a person, are still in the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet
are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 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.
The lake of fire [LOF] is called “the second death” twice in Rev. vss. 20:14 and 21:8. While this is true, Rev. never says that anyone is thrown into the LOF then they die.
The terms the “lake of fire” and “ the second death” are interchangeable, “the lake of fire” is “the second death” and the “second death” is “he lake of fire,” thus we can see that it is not synonymous with death or destruction.
Nothing in your post has proven that the humans cast into the lake fire will not experience a "second death" of the same type as their first death.
Rev.20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
Revelation 20:5 does not say they are raised to immortality.
.....We also know that being thrown into the LOF is not synonymous with death from Rev 19:20, where the beast and the false prophet, who is a person, are thrown into the LOF and 1000 years later in 20:10 the devil, is thrown into the LOF. Three living beings, are thrown into the LOF but they do not die, they are tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The false prophets' body may have died or he may be a super human who is not subject to death as long as God wills him to be chastened for his own good.
There is not one verse in Revelation which says anyone or anything is thrown into the LOF then they/it dies.
Nothing other than the obvious interpretation given we know the lake of fire IS the second death.
Things don't die. Neither do spirit beings, e.g, Satan, suffer physical death. They are not human mortals. So when Satan is said to be cast into the lake of fire (Rev.20:10), the lake of fire is never once called the second death. But in the context of the general assembly of humans being cast into the lake of fire (Rev.20:13-15; Rev.21:8), the lake of fire is always called the second death. That is because human mortals can physicly die, but spirit beings cannot.
.....Rev 20:14 says death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. Death is the point in time end of life, it has no physical presence and cannot be literally thrown anywhere.
Death being thrown into the lake of fire is figurative language probably best interpreted as meaning the lake of fire will be the only place in the universe where there will be death. Because those cast there will become dead because of the fire. And since death is found nowhere else in the universe, it is an obvious interpretation.
Additionally the same language is used of both death and those mortal humans who suffer death in the fire; both are said to be "cast" into the lake of fire. As one goes, so goes the other.
Since neither death nor hell could or have died a first death they can’t die a second death. But there is a scriptural answer which does not involve jumping through hoops mixing literal and figurative in one sentence, there is a death and hell which can be thrown into the LOF.
Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The two sentient beings I call the angel of death and the demon of hell are thrown into the LOF and their power to kill ended.
The death & hell (Hades) of Revelation 20:13, along with the sea, give up the dead that are in them via resurrection. Then death & Hades are cast into the lake of fire (v.14). Death, hell & the sea are not "sentient beings", since "sentient beings" don't have masses of humans inside of them. The death, hell & sea of the context (v.13) do have multidudes of human beings inside them. So they are not "sentient beings".
.....More verses which show that the LoF is not synonymous with death or destruction. Rev 21:4 says “there shall be no more death” but 4 verses later Rev 21:8 says certain groups “shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” If vs. 4 is correct then those mentioned in vs. 8 do not die.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 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.
Revelation 21:1 regards a time after the events of 20:13-15. Revelation 21:4-5 speaks of events that "shall" occur in the future from that time, such as God wiping away tears, no more crying, pain & death, and all made new. Such hasn't happened yet while there are nations still in need of healing from the leaves of trees (22:2), or while reigning continues (21:23,24 & 22:3-5) and reigning has not been abolished as per 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, or while death and pain still exist in the lake of fire.
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. (Revelation 5:13, Darby)
