Death is personified and is disposed of, “the last enemy” (1Co 15:26) and Paul sings the paean of victory over death (1Co 15:54., from Hos 13:14). Hades has no more terrors, for the saints are in heaven. There is no more fear of death (Heb 2:15), for death is no more (Rev 21:4). The second death (Rev 2:11; Rev 20:6; Rev 21:8) is here identified as in Rev 21:8 with the lake of fire.
