RESURRECTION

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?
