So you have two separate groups of saved, the elite saved and the common saved?
The first resurrection are those who rise to everlasting life, a good judgment of innocent because they are in Christ, they are all His sheep, both of this and the other flock, and the second group (the rest of the dead that 'shall not live again until the thousand years were finished') rise to judgment by the law, because they are not in Christ, which is a bad judgment.
I just acknowledge the two seperate resurrections.
“the second group (the rest of the dead that 'shall not live again until the thousand years were finished') rise to judgment by the law, because they are not in Christ, which is a bad judgment”
why is the book of life opened at the second ? And why does it explain that only those not written in it we’re cast into the lake of fire ? In the second ?
“And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:12-15 KJV
the book of life is for those who acknowledge Christ and call upon him , the first resurrection is for those who keep his word and never enter death and don’t need to be raised from death in the end …..
just so you know though the law isn’t going to judge anyone’s eternal
Life or death it judges the world guilty of sin already that’s why we have to repent and believe the gospel , there’s only one judge and one judgement for all men’s eternal souls.
“And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.”
Acts 10:42 KJV
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:30-31 KJV
The law serves its purpose already and judged the world all guilty that’s again why we need to accept Christ and why it’s now about life after death
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
the gospel is the judgement the law made us all sinners no witnesses against all Men. Can’t save anyone. It’s why we die once we’ve all sinned.
The gospel is the eternal judgement and Christ is the judge
his words our judgement we can do this
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:51 KJV
Or we can ignore what he said can reject that truth and do this and rise to face the same words that were given to us by Jesus the judge of all in this life so we can repent and have our sins remitted
“He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
John 12:48 KJV
the difference is if we accept his words or reject his words Jesus words because he’s the judge.
the only judgement pertaining to everlasting life or the lake of fire is the word of Jesus Christ the judge of the living and the dead.
Moses can’t save or condemn anyone after they die the law ends at the first death it’s why all are appointed to one death and then after that they are judged
“
Know ye not, brethren, how that
the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?”
Romans 7:1 KJV
if you search the whole law you don’t find anything applying to after the death of the body that’s what it’s about the flesh body and revealing sin and death. It’s why we’re appointed to die once because of the law , after death we face the judgement of Christ the everlasting gospel
“And as
it is appointed unto men once to die,( the laws conclusion you sin you die )
but
after this the judgment:” ( the eternal judgement )
Hebrews 9:27 KJV
but why is the book of life opened at the last judgement ? And why are those not written in it cast into the fire of their all damned ?
And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life:….
This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
some are saved now from death some later because they lived by the flesh . This is spoken To the church not non believers
“For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but
if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Romans 8:13 KJV
if we do this we’re going to be among the judgement of the dead
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:”
Those who rejected the gospel but believed in Jesus like this
“that
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 KJV
there are different promises according to ones faith some just simply never here about this part and if they do they reject it as if it’s not real
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:51 KJV
if
we do that though we’re accepting the same judgement now that others will be raised up to face in the end and that’s what puts us in the first resurrection we accepted the judgement now , repented and overcame the world by the spirit and received the full reward but all believers are going to ne saved in the end not all will be part of the first resurrection though Some will be saved in the last bekng written in the book of life
