The Resurrection Of The Dead
Wednesday 18th March
Text: John 5:28-29
Key Verse: Isaiah 26:19 “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs and the earth shall cast out the dead.
There are two types of resurrection. These are called the first resurrection and the second resurrection. They are also called the resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation. The resurrection of the saints, variously described in scripture as resurrection of the just, a better resurrection and the first resurrection, has 4 phases:
i. The resurrection of Christ, the first fruit (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4,12,20,23)
ii. The resurrection of the church-age saints at the rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16
iii. The resurrection of the tribulation period saints (Revelation 20:3-5)
iv. The resurrection of Old Testament saints at the second advent of Christ to the earth (Daniel 12:2)
All who partake of the first resurrection shall live and reign with Christ forever and ever in His eternal kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy.
The second resurrection is the resurrection to damnation, which takes place after the millennial reign, after the last battle with Satan, called the battle of Gog and Magog. All that ever lived and died in sin from the beginning of the existence of man on earth to this period in time shall be resurrected for divine judgment and final condemnation to the everlasting lake of fire, along with Satan and demons, the fallen angels.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Thought For The Day: All who died in this world will undergo physical resurrection.
Song For The Day: One glorious morning I shall see my Saviour…
Bible Reading For The Day: Judges 14-16
