" He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
An interesting aspect of the message to the church in Smyrna is the aspect of death which is presented as being not part of the risen Christ. There is a physical death and it is attributed to the devil. 'behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Trials and tribulations are part of a physical world and as God had warned Adam, in the day he disobeyed him he would die. After death and hell are cast into the lake of fire there is only life everlasting and what God is all in all would mean? every saint redeemed from the earth shall be holy as He is holy. Consequently this crown of life is as a tiara 'holiness unto the Lord'.(1 Cor.15.28; Zec.14.20)
"And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." Death and hell cannot be part in the kingdom of God nor can corruption or instrument of death, meaning the lake of fire. What is a worm that cannot die? We have the saying of Jesus regarding hell: 'where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ( Mk 9.48)
God rested on the seventh day into which the blessed of God shall enter by faith.(Gen.2.1-3) The two worlds framed by the word of God operates by faith so the valleys as mentioned in the scripture are either closed by the word of God. The two olive trees and two candlesticks signify the two anointed ones. The Holy Spirit puts emphasis on this bt repeating the Vision. "And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord./Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."(Zec.4.13-14)
Valleys running Up Down and across are secured under the authority of God and of the Word become flesh respectively
