The good people and the bad people go through the great tribulation.
Matthew 10:22
1 Corinthians 15:52
Revelation 2:26
Note: All these mention in verse 4 believed all GOD said concerning SALVATION through HIS SON (see John 3:16-21 or similar verses) thereby they WALKED BY FAITH, trusting in JESUS to ensure their name was written in THE BOOK OF LIFE /V 15... and look at where they sit /stand in verse 4.
Note: This same POWER OF Jehovah /GOD in 1-3 is made available to us (see John 3:16-21 or similar verses) and when we daily rightly seek /draw-on this POWER OF GOD we individually are empowered by HIM to 'restrain our self' from being our own worse enemy. One of many examples of being my own worse enemy is: where applicable we became comfortable allowing ourselves to be deceived or we deceive ourselves by looking to /for fragile humans, money, or stuff to do for us that which GOD has reserved for HIMSELF to do for us through HIS POWER.

Luke 8:10, "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." ( Matthew 11:25)
Not every one was given to understanding the things of God
This does NOT refer to the Calvinist (anti-Biblical) doctrine of election in connection with the equally false and demonic doctrine of limited atonement (the humanistic assumption that Christ was/is inadequate).
Also, the second death to which you refer is the eternal descent into the devil's appointed torment and its total separation from God.
Those dead in Christ who are not in the first Resurrection will rise to stand judgment after the Milennium, and those who are dead outside of Christ are contained in what is called "Death and Hell" . . . These are cast into the lake of fire forever.
Spring, Summer, Fall or Autumn and Winter
Sometimes the Bible calls many years a LONG SEASON as in Joshua 24:7 70 years in the wilderness
Hebrews 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
