Exegesis
Finally, the relative clause ho estin ho thanatos ho deuteros {ὅ ἐστιν ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερος | hó estin hó thánatos hó deúteros} ‘which is the second death’ equates the fiery lake with eschatological destruction, the double article conveying a formal, titular designation.
In context — Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable ones and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone , which is the second death .
