God and also because this acts for a time as a witness to the Second Creation
helping to keep it sin-free and yet with free will (Rev 14:11) although this stops
when the last repentence takes place (Rev 22:3). In summary everybody ends up
eternally with what they eternally want (Isaiah 55:7-9) and God is fair (Ezek
18:25-32).
Death and hell give up all their dead (Rev 20:13) and the dead are resurrected (Rev
20:12) and judged along with all the remaining devil spirits, angels and those
Christians, both alive and in Heaven, that became Christians after the first
resurrection and were not therefore included in the first resurrection (1 Thes 4:15-
17, Rev 20:13-15). Only those that are saved by Christ are not then cast into the
second and final death (Rev 20:14-15).
Everyone including first resurrection Christians come before this final judgement
but they are already resurrected, or changed, (2 Cor 5:10). Non-Christians are
dead when resurrected for Final Judgement (Rev 20:12). With Christians their
status before and at the final judgement is known, pre-determined and is a post-
judgement appropriation of the eternal resurrection. Already therefore for them the
second death, is passed (Rom 8:1, Eph 1:5, 11), and ‘has no power’ (Rev 20:6).
Second resurrection Christians, as they are not changed or resurrected at the first
resurrection, are resurrected at the second resurrection on an eternal basis (Rev
20:15, 21:4). The only judgement at the final judgement is whether someone is
saved or not, there is no other judgement for sin or virtue (Jer 31:30, 2 Cor 5:10, 2
Tim 4:8, Rev 20:15). The Judgement is between the second death or the book of
life (Rev 2:11, 20:15). Resurrection to receive judgement is obviously distinct to
obtaining eternal life at the judgement (Rev 20:12-15).
The final judgement occurs after the final Armageddon battle and is described in
Matthew (Mat 25:31-46).
Each resurrection process includes a tribulation, the exercise of Godly
force, selection of the saints from the rest of mankind, the coming of
Jesus in power and the changing or resurrection of the saints. The second
resurrection process additionally includes the final Judgement.

This affects only those saints saved after
the first resurrection during the start of the
