THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

The dead will be resurrected to life ( Job 19.25-27 ; Is 25.8-9, 26.19 ; Dan 12.2 ), both the righteous and the wicked, because Christ is risen from the dead and he is the resurrection  ( John 11.25, Acts 4.2, 1 Cor 15.22 ).

 

Some of the Saints were resurrected to life at the resurrection of Christ ( Matt 27.52-53 ). These were "captives", which he took with the resurrection with him.  Apparently, it's 24 elders, which saw John ( Rev 4.4-10; 5.9-10 ).

During the tribulation, when heard will be the voice of God in seventh ulcer, there will be a partial resurrection of the dead, the righteous and the wicked  ( Dan 12.2-3,  Rev 16.17-18 ).

The graves will be opened, and many of them that sleep in the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and humiliation ( Matt 26.64, Rev 1.1 ). The righteous go out there, and the wicked only see their glory and honor.

 

The first resurrection (general) include all other righteous and is carried-out at the second coming. This begins the 1000-anniversary , or millennial kingdom  ( 1 Thess 4.14-17, 1 Cor 15.51-55, Rev 20.4-5 ).

The second general resurrection concerns to the wicked, and occurs at the end of the 1000 years  ( John 5.28-29 , Acts 24.15 , Rev 20.4-5  ).

 

The resurrection of the dead is an irrefutable argument against teaching that after death the righteous go to heaven, and the wicked in hell; for then why resurrect them and then send to heaven or cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone?
