Death abolished by means of universal vivification Where is a resurrection from the lake of fire which is the second death taught in the scriptures?

So that, death is indeed the last enemy (1 Cor.15:26). And we are just as decidedly told that Christ is the one who abolishes death and brings life and incorruptibility to light (2 Tim.1:10). The reading “hath abolished” is not true as to fact or as to grammar. It is in the indefinite form (commonly called the aorist tense) simply recording the fact apart from time. Death has not been abolished yet. How and when it will be abolished is told us in the fifteenth of first Corinthians. It is to be abolished by means of universal vivification (1 Cor.15:22)....
