Hi jojoross,

The chosen few will be raised in the first/former resurrection when Christ appears.

Col 3:4  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Rev 20:6  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

So there is a first resurrection to life for the just, where they will unite with Christ, but that is only the first phase. Then comes the great white throne judgment for the rest of the dead, "anyone not found written in the Book of Life," which is the second death. It will be on earth in the lake of fire or fiery judgment, "for our God is a consuming fire" (Heb 12:29 ). This lake is composed of Christ and the raised elect that will rule/judge the nations.

John 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear His voice,
v. 29  and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. (ASV)

Acts 24:15  I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.

Rev 20:11  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
v. 12  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
v. 13  The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
v. 14  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
v. 15  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

mercy, peace and love
