Third Resurrection
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Revelation 20:13-15  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) This third resurrection will comprise those who are unwilling to live by God's laws and refuse to repent. These incorrigible people will be cast into the Lake of Fire and completely burned up. They can never be resurrected again, having rejected God's wonderful offer of salvation and eternal life.

Revelation 20:13  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) This verse proves there is to be a future resurrection to judgment. Notice that those who are in watery graves (the sea) are to be resurrected; those who were killed by other means and left unburied ("death") are to be resurrected; and those who are in earthy graves ("hell"—the Greek word here is hades which means the grave) are also to be resurrected at this time. So all the wicked dead on land or in the sea, wherever they may be, are to be resurrected to "judgment" in the future. That is when God will formally sentence them! No one is, or ever has been, down in a fiery "hell" dancing around on hot coals, shrieking in terror and torment! God's time for judging and condemning the wicked has not yet arrived! How clear! The Bible clearly shows that the time the wicked are condemned to their fate is in the future. The idea that wicked "souls" are right now suffering torments in a fiery hell is a pagan myth! What Is Hell?

Revelation 20:13-15  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) This is the third resurrection. It will occur after all who can be saved are saved. All of the wicked who have knowingly rejected God's way and died in their sins will be raised to physical life. Their attitudes will be evident. No one will ever claim these people were unjustly condemned. None of them will repent. They will appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive their penalty—extinction in the Lake of Fire. This will be their second death. They will never again be resurrected. The Last Great Day: God's Master Plan Completed!
