No, the saints will be bodily resurrected and taken to heaven. As for the 'unbelievers', need to read closer to see what Christ reveals..
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the
second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
Oh yes, people have their part in it but thankful it's not forever. It's Jesus that said, that resurrection of condemnation, and resurrection of life are resurrection which are given. You can attest to people being bodily resurrected, however I tend to disbelieve that we are raised up in a body that is normal and not spiritual. Because for me, going to be where God is, it's all spiritual, because God is spirit, and we to will be changed into new spiritual bodies.
You share some parts of revelation, however not all of it, which does state that there are unbelievers outside the kingdom, no matter how many times people suggest that faithless people are done away with, they can't remove what is written there about it. Which to me is very interesting, it seems to perhaps give us something to do in the heavenly realm? Perhaps go outside the kingdom and help people come into that lake of fire which is love from God, which the part of them which decides to seek even in the afterlife, will be purged and then whats left perhaps they will be able to get into the kingdom. The gates never close day or night, and the spirit and bride are always calling, therefore God is always calling, for people to come to the truth about his Son, even in the afterlife.
It's all predicated on faith, hope, and Gods love and choices which he rightly judges, and of course it's to believe that Jesus has the keys to all death, and death and hades have been cast away. Those are things which are talked about also in the Revelation.
A very important thing to do for anyone in short summary, is to really read Revelation outloud to oneself, forget everything you ever been taught, and consider the audience, and the language which the Lord Jesus uses, it's like not even the same Jesus that was with them before at all... He even says this.
Message to Thyatira
Revelation 2:18-29 An address to the fourth mentioned establishment of the church in Thyatira, which was a messenge for the messenger to read out to all the congregation, so I imagine that these seven churches heard the Revelation out loud, and in settings, and would be encouraged to study, and to review it comparing it along also the old testament, because so much of the Revelation is pertaining to the Old Testament, and the Nation of Israel, now who you may believe that John is writing to is up to you, yes they are believers however, they are a certain section of believers, I do believe gets poorly treated when it comes to the people whom were the blameless, pure, bride which would be taken up first to establish the kingdom of heaven, including the judgement upon the nation of Israel for having killed the Son of God, and the great and dreadful day of the LORD, had come upon them as they entered into the last days, until the final day which destruction occured, with those who were waiting and watching and believed not only the Apostles, but believed in Yahava, and they believed in the message that he was going to come rescue them from a great tribulation which would occur with-in 40 years, of when Jesus told the 4 disciples, all the signs and occurings which would cause meaning to continue to believe and trust that he would be coming back to get them.
18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
The Son of God, who has [
i]eyes like a flame of fire, and [
j]feet like burnished bronze, says this:
This line reminds me of what is said in Daniel about the Son of Man. Daniel 7:13-14
19 ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith, and service and [
k]perseverance, and that your [
l]deeds of late are greater than [
m]at first.
Jesus mentions of knowing their deeds, and their love, and faith, and service, and perseverance, and that their deeds of late are greater than the first time when they had first heard the message of the Lord Jesus Christ, and continue to stay faithful, and persevere in love trusting Yahava to be their to help them by the spirit.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
However, Jesus has this against them, whom are tolerating the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teachs and leads my bond-severances astray so they commit sexual immorality and eating things sacrifce to idols.
It's possible that in that day in age, this was going on at the church there in Thyatira. Jesus send a messenge concerning to stop tolerating the woman for a moment in order to renew their minds, towards heavenly things, and to not forsake him for idols, or sexual pleasures the flesh craves.
21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.
Jesus states, he has given her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Behold, I will throw her on a bed
of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of [
n]her deeds.
Those who mingle with these habits of sexual immorality, and hording onto idols, the judgement which is seen by the Lord Jesus, is tossing her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her, are also placed in a great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with [
o]plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the [
p]minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
JEsus states, he will kill her children, with plague, and all the churches will know that I am he who searched the minds and the hearts; and I will give you each one according to your deeds.
Jesus here is maintaining a promise for those who are going with this Jeezbel person, who calls herself a prophet, and enticing people to stray away from God. Jesus is also telling those who are falling under her snare, to no longer tolerate her wiles. That Jesus will judge each of them according to their own deeds, so it's a call to mindfulness to put Yahava first, and to love God first, and love others, and focus towards heavenly rewards and heavenly treasures which will be happening to us all one day as we leave this life.
24 But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.
Jesus goes on to state to the rest of the people who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not know the deep things of Satan, as they call them--
I place no other burden on you.
25 Nevertheless what you have, hold firmly until I come.
Nevertheless what you have, hold firmly until I come.
26 The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the [
q]nations;
All that I can see here to mention is about overcoming, are those who keep the deeds of Christ, until the end; - there is some type of reward here, which I am not sure exactly how to take it.
27 and he shall [
r]rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are shattered, as I also have received
authority from My Father;
Again, not sure how to take this, in which Jesus is mentioning there to those specfic people.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
29 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Thank you
