Yes, I really appreciate this too.
  I can only imagine what these days will be like. I can only imagine how long 1000 years really is. And then I wonder if everyone will be given the knowledge of what is going on- that they have been resurrected and are being taught and judged. It's all beyond my human brain. Did we discuss once weather people will be having children in those days? It's hard to imagine they would after the return of Christ.

Octoberose, when you think of what it says in the article 'An Encouraging Word About Death,' a person is not aware of being dead. So when people are awakened after being resurrected their last memory will be everything from right before they died, no matter how long ago that was. I would think most people will be aware that they died, they will remember that too, like it just happened. Now certainly they will be confused about where they are... people have all kinds of ideas about what happens after death, so they will expect whatever they had believed.

First of all I think everybody will be introduced to Christ in all His glory, "every eye will see Him" (Rev 1:7). But it would not seem to me that people will be resurrected and then left to wander around in confusion, I believe that the correction and teaching will begin immediately. The elect will be spiritual leaders with Christ in the next age, and you can be assured that they will see to it that the whole truth is made known to every person... how well they respond is another thing.

Isa 11:9  They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
v. 10  And in that day there shall be the Root of Jesse standing for a banner of the people; to Him the nations shall seek; and His resting place shall be glorious.

There will be no longer "every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes" (Deu 12:08), or worse the church telling people how to live. The elect will serve Christ with great power and the world will learn what righteousness is according to His truth.

Isa 30:20  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.
v. 21  And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

mercy, peace and love
