SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN<br />

I have hope towards God that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just <strong>and</strong> of<br />

the unjust. Acts 24: 15.<br />

By the second resurrection the second set of people – the righteous ones – will join the<br />

resurrected eternal life. Now the question is what waits to those who are considered not worthy<br />

to attain to that age? It is described as, Second <strong>death</strong>, or Separation.<br />

Does this end the life of those unrighteous in annihilation?<br />

Some proposes that the wicked will be annihilated.<br />

If they go into annihilation cease to exist <strong>and</strong> cease to suffer <strong>and</strong> there is no punishment here.<br />

If they continue to exist in jail there is also a chance of redemption<br />

Psalm 88:10,11 “Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise <strong>and</strong> praise thee?<br />

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in destruction?”<br />

The answer is NO.<br />
