Resurrection of the unjust

Good Morning Matt....
We found this to help us clarify when the dead in Christ vs. the unbelievers are to be raised and the 2nd death, etc. 
Hope this is of help to you as well. 
Revelation 20:1-15 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Strong's Greek Dictionary 165. aion  aiwn aion ahee-ohn'  properly, an age; Messianic period.....    And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell (the grave) were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Sincerely
Den & Connie

Hi Den &/or Connie,

That is a good Scripture to look at for this. But I would just like to add that Rev. 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished," is spurious and not in the oringinal manuscript.

That might help somebody's understanding even more  :)

Hi
I wonder what you think of these verses regarding all raising with immortal bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:35: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? verse 37: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be. verse 42:  So also is the resurrection of the dead.  It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: verse 43: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. verse 46: Howbeit that was not first which is  spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
How does this fit into this question?
Thanks,
Sky

Hi Sky,

In the paper mentioned already by the OP 'PHYSICAL or SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION BODIES FOR THE WICKED & NON-BELIEVERS?' Ray explains who Paul is speaking of in 1 Cor. 15. Here is that part of the paper.

http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php?topic=7474.0 ---------------

Is the subject of I Corinthians 15, the world? The salvation of the wicked? The resurrection of the wicked? NO. Let’s read it:

“Moreover, brethren [the world? NO, ‘brethren’] I declare unto YOU the gospel…” (I Cor. 15:1).

“…by which also YOU are saved…” (Verse 2).

“For I delivered unto YOU….” (Verse 3).  Etc.

What is the “order” of the resurrection of which Paul speaks? “But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S at His coming” (Verse 23).

The resurrection taught in this chapter is that of “they that are CHRIST’S,” not the resurrection of the wicked to Judgment. Pay attention TO THE WORDS!

1Co 15:50  “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”

Chapter 15 is speaking of the true Elect Saints of God “inheriting the Kingdom of God.

the truth:
Hello mavis92379
I think it is importnant to remember Rev.22-14-15.And also remember As Ray teaches all the way back to the garden of Eden.That Christ which is the "tree of life" didnt allow anyone to partake of it because they would have put on immortality=deathlessness.God has a order 1-Cor-15-23.NO one will exscape Gods process of being transformed by fire..Spirit....1-Cor 15-28..."Christ was perfected through the things which he suffered." So its my understanding that after the white throne judgement people will be raised in mortal bodies.And according to their Spirtual condition will determine when they will put on Immortality.Ever one in God order...Christ said It will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorah... etc.Thats my understanding anyway.
