What About The Resurrection at Christ's coming?

[Davy]

What's the correct scenario...

1. Only Christ's martyrs that were killed for The Word of God and not accepting the mark of the beast are resurrected on the day of Christ's 2nd coming.

This suggests only those martyrs in Christ have resurrection bodies, which would be only 'some' of the 'asleep' saints (?), all others, like the nations, are still in flesh bodies.

2. Only Christ's martyrs and His Church are resurrected.

This suggests only those in Christ Jesus receive a resurrection body, both the asleep saints and the saints still alive on earth at His coming, all others, like the residual nations of Rev.20 and Zech.14 are still in flesh bodies.

3. Only Christ's martyrs & His Church & the wicked dead receive a resurrection body on the day of Christ's 2nd coming.

This suggests that the two types of resurrection Jesus mentioned in John 5:28-29 both happen on the day of Jesus' 2nd coming. It would mean Christ's 'asleep' saints and still alive saints receive a resurrection body, but so also does the wicked dead of the "resurrection of damnation". It further suggest that only the wicked still alive on the day of Christ's 2nd coming are still in flesh bodies.

4. Only Christ's 'tribulation saints" are resurrected at His 2nd coming.

This suggests there was a pre-tribulational rapture of the Church, and then those who come to Christ Jesus during the tribulation being 'tribulation saints' that are resurrected at Christ's 2nd coming, and joined with the main body of the Church already in Heaven.

This further suggests that everyone else besides Christ's Church are still in flesh bodies.

 

[theophilus]

Those who were martyred during the tribulation will certainly be resurrected. The church will have been resurrected at the rapture before the tribulation.

There is some uncertainty about when Old Testament believers will be resurrected. Some think it will be at Christ's return; some think it will happen at the same time as the rapture.

The wicked dead will be resurrected after the millennium and will be sentenced to eternity in the lake of fire.

Yes.

No.
Christ returns only one time, at the end of the tribulation to gather His Church. That is when the resurrection will happen, and not before.

There is some uncertainty about when Old Testament believers will be resurrected. Some think it will be at Christ's return; some think it will happen at the same time as the rapture.

No uncertainty. The OT saints are resurrected on the last day of this world just like all others, as written in Rev.20 about the "first resurrection". Sometimes in God's Word we are expected to use process of elimination thinking. ONLY the "first resurrection" will not be subject to the "second death" as written. That means ALL the saints in that 1st resurrection category at Christ's coming.

The wicked dead will be resurrected after the millennium and will be sentenced to eternity in the lake of fire.

No.
John 5:28-29 shows the "resurrection of damnation" also happens on the day of Christ's coming, along with the "resurrection of life".
