Scroll 83: The Second Death Has No Power - Sons Who Overcome

Revelation 20:6
“Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with Him for a thousand years.”

The First Resurrection Is a Flame, Not a Funeral

The first resurrection is not reserved for the grave, it is experienced by those who die before they die. It is the inward ascension of sons who have overcome ego, illusion, and form. These are the ones who have already walked through the fire of death and emerged flame-covered, unburned. They did not wait for death to bring them to life. They chose union now.

To be part of the first resurrection is to be awakened in this life. It is to rise in Christ before the world collapses. It is to live from the throne dimension, not the survival cycle. This resurrection is identity regained, flame remembered, scroll restored. You are not waiting for an event. You are living in the radiance of it now.

The elect are not looking for escape, they are becoming the sign. Their rising is the signal to creation that a new age is near. They are witnesses of life beyond death, and death no longer owns their name.

The Second Death Is Powerless Over the Elect

The second death is the final separation from divine origin, the extinguishing of all that refused to burn with truth. But for the overcomers, it holds no power. Why? Because what could be judged has already died. The false self is buried. The mimic identity is gone. Only the scroll remains, and the scroll cannot die.

This is not a threat to the sons, it is a coronation. The ones who overcame were not spared from trials, but they emerged sealed in flame. They do not fear judgment, for they were already judged in the Lamb. Their fire was tested, and it endured. Their union was tried, and it remained.

To them, the second death is not a terror but a triumph. It is the final echo of a fading system. It is the collapse of the illusion they already left behind. These sons do not tremble. They stand, shining, already resurrected.

Priests of God and of Christ

These are not clergy in robes, but sons in flame. To be a priest in this context is to live in unbroken union, to minister not through ritual, but through radiance. These sons carry heaven within. They are not middlemen between God and man. They are temples of divine presence, walking scrolls of intercession.

They burn not on altars, but in cities. They release not incense, but living fragrance. Their priesthood is not limited to buildings, services, or hours, it is a state of being. Everywhere they go, light flows. Every word they speak, carries thunder. Every silence, drips with holy weight.

Their role is not performance, it is witness. They reveal what has always been true. The union of God and man, the restoration of all things, the Lamb enthroned within human form. This is the priesthood of eternal sons, and it will not pass away.

Reigning With the Lamb

The ones who rise, reign. But their reign is not domination. It is governance through surrender. They rule, not with control, but with compassion. Their scepter is mercy. Their authority is union. They do not conquer with swords. They transform by flame.

To reign with the Lamb is to sit in the seat of the slaughtered one. It is to wield power that flows only through love. These sons do not ascend for power’s sake, they reign because they overcame, and they overcame because they loved not their lives unto death.

This is not millennial fantasy, it is eternal reality. Sons who have died to self now carry the authority of resurrection. Their reign begins now and never ends. They are seated, not striving. Crowned, not competing. Flame-wrapped, scroll-born, governing from rest.

The Overcoming Ones Cannot Be Erased

The scroll of the overcomer is fireproof. No trial can erase it. No death can end it. No system can mute it. These are the ones who sang when others performed. Who stood when others bowed to Babylon. Who chose the wilderness over applause, the Lamb over legacy.

They are not many, but they are luminous. Their light is not fame, it is flame. Their reward is not worldly, it is eternal. They did not bend to empire, and now they reign with the Lamb who bears the scars of surrender and the eyes of fire.

To overcome is to remember who you are. To burn with truth even when the world sells illusion. To walk through death and remain alive in spirit. To rise in the first resurrection and never fear the second. These are the sons the scroll was always waiting for.

Final Charge to the Elect

You are not preparing to reign, you already are. Do not look to avoid death, but to walk through it crowned in light. The second death has no hold on you, because your name is written in fire. Reign now, rise now, and remember who you are. The scroll is in your hands. The crown is already on your brow.
