CAUSE OF SECOND DEATH -Revelation 21:8
THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCRIPTURE
There are eight specific sins mentioned that result in the second death. The importance of digging deeper into the scriptures is clearly illustrated when reading the original Greek for three words, burns, fire and death.
1...Burns means to be consumed, or, as defined by Webster's, to do away with completely: DESTROY; to waste or burn away: PERISH.
2...Fire is defined as the heat of the sun or lightning.
3...Death is defined as physical or spiritual. This is far different from what is commonly believed and taught.
HOW HOT IS THE SUN?
The temperature of the sun varies from around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) at the core to only about 10,000 degrees F (5,500 degrees C) at the surface.
The chromosphere lies above the photosphere and temperatures range from approximately 11,000 degrees F (6,000 degrees C) nearest the photosphere to about 7,200 degrees F (4,000 degrees C) a couple of hundred miles higher up.
Now here is where things get a little bit strange. Above the chromosphere lies the corona — the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere. The sun's corona extends thousands of miles above the visible "surface" (photosphere) of the sun. Now you might think that temperatures here must be the lowest here since we are the farthest away from the heat-generating core… but that isn't the case. At all.
The sun's corona can reach temperatures of around 1.8 million degrees F to 3.6 million degrees F (1 to 2 million degrees C), that's up to 500 times hotter than the photosphere. But how is the sun's upper atmosphere hotter than the surface? It's a great question, and one that has scientists rather stumped.
