^ Adstar, the following quote is from a post I made awhile back, but the two passages supplied are speaking of the point in time of His Second Coming
to the earth (with a time period which follows)… So my point in the past posts has been, that ALL "saints" (of ALL time periods) will have been "resurrected" BY [the time of] and IN ORDER
to be present FOR the promised and prophesied earthly Millennial Kingdom upon its commencement (commencing upon His Second Coming
to the earth; meaning ALL "saints" will have been "resurrected" by that point, to enjoy it [not saying all saints are resurrected at that moment, mind you]), so here is that [partial] quote:
[quoting]
"... note additionally the
TWO "PUNISH" words which are SEPARATED by "and after many days" (meaning, "punish" not only at His Second Coming to the earth BUT ALSO the later GWTj [the
TWO "punish" words in
Isa24:21-22(23)]) and correlating [time-wise] with that of
Revelation 19:19,21/16:14-16/20:5 at the time (context/setting) of His Second Coming
to the earth. Meaning, there is still much "time" that will transpire on the earth following His Second Coming
to the earth. So the verse that states "that there should be time no longer" simply means no more delay, not that it is indicating the cessation of "time" for we see that "time" continues on into the 1000 years (aka the "and AFTER MANY DAYS"
of the parallel Isa24:21-23 passage)]"
[end quoting that post, which (keep in mind) was in the context of a different convo]
As ALL "saints" are resurrected by the time of the START of the MK age, and some [saints/the righteous
only, of course] ENTER it in mortal bodies capable of bearing children/reproducing--(this is a separate set of passages that could be supplied, and have been--but their children and grandchildren [etc] are not "BORN automatically righteous/saved" and
only the rebellious [/unsaved]
DIE during the MK age, as death will be much more rare...), this leaves ONLY
"the dead [/unsaved dead, and the unsaved-dead OF ALL TIMES]" to be present for the GWTj, and this is what we see in the wording of: "[the sea...death and hell]
gave up the dead" in Rev20:13 [GWTj context]
This is all I have time for at the moment, but I hope it helps you see that perspective.
