That single verse [ John 5:29 ] doesn't convince me that there is any resurrection for people who have never been believers. Jesus is the Resurrection. Anyone who never believes in him has no resurrection, ever for any reason.
All of the other verses to me leave John 5:29 alone, so then I see that verse and dividing those who have believed into two groups, the ones who stayed on the Lord's side to the end and those who met the Master but then and some point looked back at that left behind or partook again of that which they had previously vomited. The following verse makes it clear to me that no further judgment is required for a person who never believed:
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18
Resurrection means "brought to Life". Consider why Jesus came:
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10
Again, I would emphasize that resurrection cannot and will not occur for some who has never accepted what Jesus brought. Unfortunately some who received it later chose to walk away from it. That is walking into the second death. The unbelievers were never alive at any time.
“The rest of the dead [those who were not saved] did not live again until the thousand years were finished” (
Revelation 20:5).
“All who are in the graves 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” (
John 5:28,
29).
The second resurrection takes place at the close of the 1,000-year period. The unsaved will be raised in this resurrection. It is called the resurrection of condemnation. The living unsaved will be slain by the very presence of Christ at the second coming.
When an angel appeared at Jesus’ tomb, the entire group of Roman guards fell as dead men (
Matthew 28:2,
4). When the brightness of all the angels, God the Father, and God the Son combine, the unsaved will die as if hit by lightning. The wicked already dead when Jesus returns will remain in their graves until the end of the 1,000 years.“The slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground” (
Jeremiah 25:33).
“I beheld, and indeed there was no man” (
Jeremiah 4:25).
The word for “bottomless pit” in the original Greek is “abussos,” or abyss. That same word is used in
Genesis 1:2 in the Greek version of the Old Testament in connection with the creation of the earth, but there it is translated “deep.” “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.” The words “deep,” “bottomless pit,” and “abyss” here refer to the same thing—the earth in its totally dark, disorganized form before God made order of it. Jeremiah, in describing this earth during the 1,000 years, used virtually the same terms as these in
Genesis 1:2: “without form, and void,” “no light,” “no man,” and “black” (
Jeremiah 4:23,
25,
28). So the battered, dark earth with no people alive will be called the bottomless pit, or abyss, during the 1,000 years, just as it was in the beginning before Creation was completed. Also,
Isaiah 24:22 speaks of Satan and his angels during the 1,000 years as “gathered in the pit” and “shut up in the prison.” At the end of the 1000 years when the New Jerusalem descends from heaven, it is surrounded by those resurrected wicked. Satan then does what he has always done, in one last ditch self-defense move, seeks to attack the city, but fire will suddenly come down from heaven (not up from hell, as many believe) upon the wicked and all will be turned into ashes, including the devil and his angels (
Matthew 25:41). This fire that destroys sin and sinners is called the second death. There is no resurrection from this death. It is final. Notice that the devil will not be tending the fire, as is commonly believed. He will be in it, and it will put him out of existence. See also Revel. 20:6-10;21:8
