Rev.20:4-5 - And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgement was committed to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the Word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or it’s images, and not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

John 5:28,29 – Do not marvel at this, for the day will come when all will hear His voice and come forth – those who have done good to the resurrection of life. And those who have done evil, to the resurrection of *condemnation.

*Condemnation – is incorrect it should be KRISIS = CRISIS = DECISION -- a judgment will be made about them base on the choices they have made during there life, in the judgement period at the end of that judgement periot… good or bad.

(*) Crisis:
Gk krisis, lit., decision, fr. krinein to decide--more at certain] (15c) 1 a: the turning point for better or worse in an acute disease or fever b: a paroxysmal attack of pain, distress, or disordered function c: an emotionally significant event or radical change of status in a person's life <a midlife ~> 2: the decisive moment (as in a literary plot) 3 a: an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs in which a decisive change is impending; esp: one with the distinct possibility of a highly undesirable outcome

Acts 24:15 – I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection **of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.

**NU omits “of the dead”

1Cor.15:51-55 - Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall change in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” O death where is your sting? O death where is your victory?”

John 6:39,40,44 – “This is the will of the Father who sent me, of all the He has given me I should lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day. “And this is the will of Him who sent me, that everyone that sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day”.

Psalms 22: 27-29 – All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations. All the prosperrous of the earth shall eat and worship, all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.

Ezek. 37:1-14 - The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the spirit of the Lord
and set me down in the midst the valley; and it was full’ of bones. Then He cause me to pass by them all and around, and behold, there very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said a me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God you know.”.Again he said to me,” Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the words of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly there was a rattling; and the bones came together; bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over, but there was no breath in them. Then He said to me, prophesy to the breath, prophesy son of man, and say to the breath, “thus say the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, o breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’” So I prophesy as I was commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. Then He said to me, “Son of man, these house are the hole house of Israel. They indeed say, our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we our selves are cut off! Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold o my people, I will open up your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have open your graves, O my people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’”

Rev.20:11-15 – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the Earth and heaven fled away. And there was found no place found for them. And I saw the dead, both small and great, standing before God, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged according to his works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


God is a God of love and mercy, He love’s mankind very much and wants all people to be saved. God has a plan to save mankind, but each in his or her own order. Those who are called and have respond to His calling, and remain faithful will assist God in bring salvation to the rest of mankind. This is not a second chance, but a one-time chance to accept what God has offered, and live, or rejected it and die the second death, of which there is no resurrection.
