“When this corruptible is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:54-55‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

“He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face and remove His people’s disgrace from the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25:8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

“I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where are your barbs? Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be. Why because death will have no more victory over us and death will be abolished. 

“Then the sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; all were judged according to their works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:13-15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

We often think of death as just not living anymore. But Death is a heavenly being. That was created by God but has been using its power in contradiction to God.

“And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Death will lose “His” sting and will no longer have victory over the earth. But will be chained and thrown into the Lake of Fire. And the only Power in Heaven on earth will be God!

“Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look! God’s dwelling is with humanity, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will no longer exist; grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer, because the previous things have passed away.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:3-4‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

For you Christian, keep the faith. No pain now on earth is worth giving up to death for. We have a promise waiting for us in heaven and that is a life free from pain, tears, and death.

For you non-believer, you still have time to repent and find Jesus in your life. Life may be miserable now, but in Jesus, you will escapee into heaven and be safe from the eternal punishment that awaits those who do not follow God, but those who side with the Devil, the beast, and the dragon. 

“The Devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:10, 15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
https://www.bible.com/72/rev.20.10,15.hcsb

The Devil, the Beast, the False Prophet, Death, and Hades will be thrown into the lake of life for eternal punishment. They have no choice anymore, They were given a chance to repent before God kicked them out of heaven. But you, man, woman, boy, and girl will have a chance to repent before you die. And you can prevail over death and be alive in Christ. 

“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:22‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

And may never fall asleep, but be changed.

“Listen! I am telling you a mystery: We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:51‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
https://www.bible.com/72/1co.15.51.hcsb

And will never have to suffer the same consequence as The Devil. And will be able to stand and shout, Death where is your sting. Death where is your victory!
