Hi jER,
I like what you are bring up in the scripture. It's interesting what you can find.
Here are a few scripture I found that indicate when Christ returns He will be judging those in the physical flesh body.
Isa 66:15 For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and with His chariots like a tempest, to refresh His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
Isa 66:16 For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will execute judgment with
all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah will be many.
Eze 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the Word of Jehovah. So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall burn up every green tree in you, and every dry tree among you. The flaming flame shall not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it.
Eze 20:48 And
all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it. It shall not be put out.
Jer 25:31 A noise shall come to the ends of the earth; for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations; He will enter into judgment with
all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword, says Jehovah.
So when Christ returns to judge the nations on earth, it says, "He will enter into judgment with all flesh." Is this talking about just those still living at His return, or are these nations of 'all flesh,' including the dead? notice verse 18 below.
Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms[6] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
Rev 11:16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,
Rev 11:17 saying:
"We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
Rev 11:18
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
It seems if you put together these scripture you begin to see that the nations are all people or 'all flesh' that have lived on earth, and they are back in their bodies of flesh?
Just some scripture I wanted to share on this subject
mercy, peace and love
