All will give account.

Well Rick, I guess if everybody was resurrected and lined up to give a confessional it would be a pretty long line. But I do not think giving an account is the same thing as the Catholic churches idea of confessing ones sins, I am thinking that there is a lot that would come before that. To reach 'real' repentance is to come to see yourself as you really are, a beast... can't think that many people would go along with that idea at first. There are so many falsehoods that people have incorporated in their ideas to form their beliefs, there is a huge amount of junk people will have to un-learn and un-tangle in their minds before they ever get to repentance and can confess their sins... it's a process.

Also maybe they will have to seek/confess their wrong doing to the person they wronged. If you think about it people will be confronted by the very people they hurt or even killed, maybe they will need to seek their forgiveness too. Now that may take a really long time for some people.

Another thing is I'm thinking that there may very well be a kind of staggered resurrection of the dead.

1Cor 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
v. 23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 

That comment there makes me think, suppose the resurrection of the rest of the dead is in order of righteousness? First raising up those of faith, like in chapter 11 of Hebrews... I would think that they deserve being ranked before others in the resurrection. I can see how having these righteous people from throughout the centuries brought up first to serve with the elect in 'taking over' the world could really work well. Also if you had a functioning body/government in place when the more wicked are raised up later that would also make a really big difference in maintaining order. Okay anyway just more thoughts.

mercy, peace and love

Hi Kat, yes I also think along those lines that the resurrected will be in turns of righteousness Heb chapter 11, and  just think of all the good people who do believe in God our Father and Jesus our Lord with their whole hearts but are/were deceived by their church doctrines? We know that the elect will be resurrected first.
But as you so nicely put it, there have been over the centuries and into these times all these truly evil ones who will have more time to heal and change and taught righteousness and that is why perhaps it will take a thousand years for all to heal?
These verses come to mind
Math 25:32-34
I'm thinking maybe these wicked are the goats?
