(be) dead((-ly)), death, die(-d)
Dictionary of Biblical Words:
Once the foe, but now (in Christ) the friend of the Christian. To death he owes his all; death to him is past and gone, borne by another for him. His body may be put to sleep by Jesus, if He does not come to fetch him before; but all the terror of death is forever gone. In itself the wages of sin, it is the common lot of man, but not of those who believe in Christ (Heb. 9). To the unbeliever it is still the awful portal that admits him to the judgment and wrath of Almighty God. Two symbols of it (in different aspects) are given in Scripture, baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Concise Bible Dictionary:
This is referred to in scripture under various aspects.
1. The general appointment for sinful man—the death of the body by the separation of the soul from it (Heb. 9:27; Rom. 5:14; Rom. 6:23).
2. The spiritual condition of fallen man, “dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1,5; Rom. 7:24).
3. Death personified as a power of Satan: the last enemy to be destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26; Rev. 20:13-14).
4. THE SECOND DEATH: eternal punishment (Rev. 2:11; Rev. 20:14; Rev. 21:8).
