Death was the penalty affixed to Adam's transgression, Genesis 2:17 3:19; and all his posterity are transgressors, and share the curse inflicted upon him. CHRIST is "our life." All believers share his life, spiritually and eternally; and though sin and bodily is taken away, and in the resurrection the last enemy shall be trampled under foot, Romans 5:12-21 1 1 Corinthians 15:1-58. Natural death is described as a yielding up of the breath, or spirit, expiring, Psalm 104:29; as a return to our original dust, Genesis 3:19 Ecclesiastes 12:7; as the soul's laying off the body, its clothing, 2 1 Corinthians 5:3,4, or the tent in which it has dwelt, 2 1 Corinthians 5:1 2 Peter 1:13,14. The death of the believer is a departure, a going home, a falling asleep in Jesus, Philippians 1:23 Matthew 26:24 John 11:11. The term death is also sometimes used for any great calamity, or imminent danger threatening life, as persecution, 2 1 Corinthians 1:10. "The gates of death," Job 38:17, signify the unseen world occupied by departed spirits. Death is also figuratively used to denote the insensibility of Christians to the temptations of a sinful world, Colossians 3:3. Easton's Bible Dictionary May be simply defined as the termination of life. It is represented under a variety of aspects in Scripture: (1.) "The dust shall return to the earth as it was" (Ecclesiastes 12:7). (2.) "Thou takest away their breath, they die" (Psalm 104:29). (3.) It is the dissolution of "our earthly house of this tabernacle" (2 Corinthians 5:1); the "putting off this tabernacle" (2 Peter 1:13, 14). (4.) Being "unclothed" (2 Corinthians 5:3, 4). (5.) "Falling on sleep" (Psalm 76:5; Jeremiah 51:39; Acts 13:36; 2 Peter 3:9. (6.) "I go whence I shall not return" (Job 10:21); "Make me to know mine end" (Psalm 39:4); "to depart" (Philippians 1:23). The grave is represented as "the gates of death" (Job 38:17; Psalm 9:13; 107:18). The gloomy silence of the grave is spoken of under the figure of the "shadow of death" (Jeremiah 2:6). Death is the effect of sin (Hebrews 2:14), and not a "debt of nature." It is but once (9:27), universal (Genesis 3:19), necessary (Luke 2:28-30). Jesus has by his own death taken away its sting for all his followers (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). There is a spiritual death in trespasses and sins, i.e., the death of the soul under the power of sin (Romans 8:6; Ephesians 2:1, 3; Colossians 2:13). The "second death" (Revelation 2:11) is the everlasting perdition of the wicked (Revelation 21:8), and "second" in respect to natural or temporal death. THE DEATH OF CHRIST is the procuring cause incidentally of all the blessings men enjoy on earth. But specially it is the procuring cause of the actual salvation of all his people, together with all the means that lead thereto. It does not make their salvation merely possible, but certain (Matthew 18:11; Romans 5:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 1:4; 3:13; Ephesians 1:7; 2:16; Romans 8:32-35). Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary 1. (n.) The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of resuscitation, either in animals or plants.2. (v. i.) Total privation or loss; extinction; cessation; as, the death of memory. 3. (v. i.) Manner of dying; act or state of passing from life. 4. (v. i.) Cause of loss of life. 5. (v. i.) Personified: The destroyer of life, -- conventionally represented as a skeleton with a scythe. 6. (v. i.) Danger of death. 7. (v. i.) Murder; murderous character. 8. (v. i.) Loss of spiritual life. 9. (v. i.) Anything so dreadful as to be like death. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia BODY OF DEATHdeth (soma tou thanatou): These words are found in Paul's impassioned argument on the reign of the law, which dooms man to continuous disappointment and convinces him of the terrible power of indwelling sin. "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" (Romans 7:24 the King James Version). It is the "picture of the still unredeemed man in his relation to the law" (Meyer). The translation, "this body of death," though grammatically possible, is logically impermissible. The picture here before the mind of the apostle is not physical but ethical. Death points to the dominion of sin, to the reign of the law, as revealed in his physical life, from which he is delivered only through regeneration, by faith in Christ. It points to the "I must" and to the "I cannot." It is therefore the bondage under the law of sin, the body as the seat of this conscious and bitter struggle, that the figure points at. And yet the ethical may have a physical background. There may be a distant reference here to the dreadful punishment of the ancients of chaining the living body to a corpse, that the constant corruption of death might extinguish the life of the victim of this exquisite torture. DEATH (maweth; thanatos): DEATH, SECOND (ho deuteros thanatos): An expression, peculiar to the Book of Rev.(Revelation 2:11; Revelation 20:6, 14; 21:8) in Scripture, denoting the final penalty of the unrighteous; parallel with another expression likewise peculiar, "the lake of fire," in Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8. See ESCHATOLOGY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. SECOND DEATH See DEATH; ESCHATOLOGY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, sec. X, (6). SHADOW OF DEATH (tsalmaweth): The Hebrew word translated "shadow of death" is used poetically for thick darkness (Job 3:5), as descriptive of Sheol (Job 10:21; Job 12:22; Job 38:17); figuratively of deep distress (Job 12:22; Job 16:16; Job 24:17; Job 28:3; Job 34:22 (in the last three passages the American Standard Revised Version has "thick darkness" and "thick gloom"); Psalm 23:4, the Revised Version margin "deep darkness (and so elsewhere)"; 44:19:00; 107:10, 14; Isaiah 9:2 Jeremiah 2:6; Jeremiah 13:16 Amos 5:8 Matthew 4:16 Luke 1:79, skia thanatou). The Hebrew word is perhaps composed of tsel, "shadow," and maweth, "death," and the idea of "the valley of the shadow of death" was most probably derived from the deep ravines, darkened by over-hanging briars, etc., through which the shepherd had sometimes to lead or drive his sheep to new and better pastures.
