To understand Resurrection(S), requires one to Know WHY there are Resurrections(S), and WHEN, and for WHO a Resurrection occurs.
Every earthly individual SHALL bodily die.
Every earthy individual SHALL be Judged according to WHAT they Believed at the moment of their Bodily Death.
Every earthly individual SHALL be Resurrected BODILY, to receive their Judgement.
The JUDGEMENT(S), are according to the Evidence written in Gods Books of Records.
The Evidence reveals Several things….
* The individual was naturally born
* The individuals specific beliefs at Bodily death.
* All works the individual did.
* IF the individuals soul was Saved, and WHEN
* IF the individuals spirit was Quickened, and when.
Beliefs ARE conditional considerations.
Meaning….Mindful beliefs carry no consideration….Heartful beliefs carry supreme consideration.
Beliefs are express conditions, with express results.
Heartful Belief IN God, on the day that body dies…..God shall SAVE, and raise that body in Glory…..First Resurrection…After Millennial Reign.
Heartful Confessed BELIEF IN God and IN Jesus lived, died, and God raised Him Up to resume Livings….on the day that body dies….God shall SAVE, and raise that body in Glory….First Resurrection….After Millennial reign.
Heartful Confessed BELIEF IN God, IN Jesus, IN Jesus IS the Christ, The Lord shall SAVE and raise that body in Glory….BEFORE First Resurrection.
First and Second Resurrection(S) are NOT LIMITED regarding Resurrection(S)….
Resurrection(S) of DEAD bodys have occurred Anciently,
(recorded IN Scripture); (1 Kings Chapter 17)
Historically (as recorded IN Scripture;
(John Chapter 11)
and modernly (as recorded in medical case journals, and papers and books of individuals)revealing their testimonies regarding their experience of being declared bodily dead, and then revived.
The First Resurrection Spoken of In Revelations….IS LITERALLY the Raising UP of the LAST REMAINING of ALL the SAVED who have not YET been Raised Up.
There IS Christ the Lord Jesus’ Resurrection…Calling UP His Church, His Bride TO Him in the Clouds. (1 Thes 4:16-17)
After Christ Jesus’ millennial reign, the rest of the Dead are Raised UP by God
(1Thes 4:14)…called the First Resurrection.
Which is the FIRST INSTANCE…ALL the SAVED SHALL be Gathered Together With and IN the Presence of Their God and SEE Him as He is…Spirit.
Rev 20:
[
5] But the
rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
