Most Christians believe that the 1st Resurrection is where all believers are finally raptured to be withATP said:Not biblical logabe. They are already dead, the time of salvation has come and gone brother. Nonbelievers are not granted eternal life after the GWT. There is a reason why they call in the second death. Either you're written in the book of life or not. (Rev 20:12 NIV The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.)
Rev 20:11-15 NIV Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
the Lord forever more, but that's not what the scriptures teach. The scriptures teach that the first fruits
or (1st Resurrection Saints) will begin the process of the Restoration of all things (Acts 3:21).
21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all
things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets
from ancient time.
We are waiting for Jesus to come back a second time to begin the process by which the rest of the world
will be reconciled. Most Christians don't believe that, because that is the way they have been taught for the
last 1600 years. It's not their fault, but their eyes have been opened to this type of darkness because of
their teachers. Just as the Israelites rejected a direct relationship with God @ Mount Sinai, they prefer to
listen to man rather than God.
Notice what Peter is saying. Until the period of the Restoration of all things, meaning, it doesn't begin until
Jesus comes back and gives the Overcomers immortal life (Romans 8:19).
19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the
revealing of the sons of God.
The Restoration begins when the Sons of God are manifested or made known to the rest of the creation. In
other words, the Sons of God will be doing what Jesus done 2000 years prior. They will be healing, delivering,
and teaching the truth of the Gospel (Isa. 2:2-4).
2 Now it will come about that in the last days the mountain of the house
of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be
raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.
3 And many peoples will come and say, “come, let us go up to the mountain
of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us
concerning His ways and that we may walk in His paths. ”for the law will
go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for
many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and
their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
and never again will they learn war.
That hasn't happened yet, but it will in the near future, because the prophets spoke that the Restoration @
some point in history would take hold of the creation and begin a reconciliation that has never been seen in
all of the world's existence. So what is God been doing for the last 6000 years?
He has been taking out a people for His name sake (Acts 15:14) to build back the Tabernacle of David that
has fallen down. In essence, God has been calling out a people that will be used to set up His Government
upon this earth, where the Saints of the Most High will reign over the creation through righteousness.
Aren't we tired of man ruling over us?
I said all of that so we can know that God will not leave our children or grandchildren in this make believe
place called the Lake of Fire. I believe there is a Lake of Fire, but it's not what man is teaching. Man is
teaching what Hollywood believes about God, church, religion, and they give Hollywood a lot of bullets to
shoot @ the human race about the things they think is God.
The 1st death is fixing to end for the Overcomers, but it will continue through the Tabernacles Age, but it
will end @ the G.W.T. and the 2nd death will begin. The second death is a period of time where the Sons
of God will judge the people that didn't allow the Blood of Jesus to cover their sins. Their time ended and
their sins wasn't atoned so God created the 2nd death for the purpose of their reconciliation (2nd Cor. 5:19).
Do I want to go through the Lake of Fire? Heck no, but if one of my kin has to go, then, I know God will
not throw him or her away, but God will correct them and give them life in the future.
Now that's good news!
What a God! What a Plan!
