'Dead' in the Bible

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.To Him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by His blood,

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last,

and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.

The second poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like a dead man’s, and all life in the sea died.

The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books.

Then the sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; all were judged according to their works.
