And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
KJV

In the above, Apostle Paul showed that he had hope toward God also that the "unjust" dead would be raised from the dead.

Think about that.

Do you really think Paul meant that in a negative sense, like he hoped the "unjust" would be raised just to then immediately perish in the "lake of fire"? No, that's not how Paul meant what he said.


Paul had hope that the "unjust" dead would be raised so they would REPENT! and turn to Christ, and be SAVED! Apostle Peter revealed this point in 2 Peter 3:8-9 when he said that to God a thousand years is like a day to Him, and that God does not wish that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The following Scripture by Lord Jesus in His Message to the Church of Philadelphia also reveals this point about the "unjust", showing they still exist after His future return...

Rev 3:9
9 Behold,
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
KJV


That "synagogue of Satan", that only CLAIM to be Jews, but are not and do lie, represent Christ's and the Church's greatest enemies here on earth. They represent Satan's own elect servants, and they are not deceived. They worship Satan instead of God; that's actually who that "synagogue of Satan" represents. Lord Jesus called them the "tares" in His parable of the wheat and tares of Matthew 13.

(Tares is about real horticulture, weeds that while growing look just like wheat until harvest time, and then they exhibit black buds on the end so as to tell the difference between the tares and real wheat. So you have to wait until harvest time to separate them from the real wheat).

The "tares" began creeping in among the Jews long, long ago in their Old Testament history, and that is written in The Old Testament Books.

Jesus said He will make those false Jews of the "synagogue of Satan" to come worship Him at the feet of His elect Church of Philadelphia. That has never... happened during this present world time. Nor will it ever happen during this present world. Jesus was pointing to His future "thousand years" reign time of Revelation 20. That is when He will make those "tares" bend the kneed to Him in front of His elect.


Here is another Bible example of the time AFTER... Christ's future return, with the wicked being made to bow in worship to Christ...

Zech 14:16-19
16 And it shall come to pass,
that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
KJV


Those leftovers are about the armies that will come up against Jerusalem on the last day of this present world when Jesus returns on the "day of the Lord". That's about the battle of Rev.19 that Jesus comes to fight on His white horse with His army from Heaven.

Those leftovers will be made... to come up to Jerusalem from year to year, which is a pointer to Christ's future "thousand years" reign of Rev.20, and they will be made to worship Christ as KING, The LORD of hosts. Not only that, but they also will be made to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. ALL... nations after Christ's future return will be required to do this. Like Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15, Christ MUST... reign, until all His enemies are made His footstool.

If you don't recall about those nations coming up against Jerusalem on the last day, here is one of the Scriptures where God foretold about it...

Zeph 3:8-9
8 Therefore wait ye upon Me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for My determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them Mine indignation, even all My fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.

9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent.
KJV


That day of destruction is what Apostle Peter revealed in 2 Peter 3:10 about the "day of the Lord" coming "as a thief in the night", which is when Lord Jesus returns with God's "consuming fire" burning man's works off the surface of this earth.

There are no second chances after death to repent. That is not taught anywhere in scripture. The unjust will be resurrected unto "damnation" and to "shame and everlasting contempt".

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Let's be reasonable here. Whenever the unjust are raised, whether that be during the 2nd coming, or a thousand years post the 2nd coming, either way it involves them being judged and sentenced at that time. Which means their fate comes following the sentencing phase, the same way in the real world when one is judged and sentenced to a prison term, their prison term starts immediately after they have been sentenced.

For example.

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Meaning at that time. Meaning once this judgment has concluded and the sentences handed out. Which clearly means, assuming there is a millennium that follows the 2nd coming, there won't be any goats during it. How can there be if they are judged and sentenced to the LOF during Christ's return? For example, using a real world example. What judge sentences someone to life in prison, for example, but waits years, maybe even decades, before their life in prison actually commences? It commences once the sentencing phase has concluded.

Obviously, per the sheep and goats judgment, the sentencing phase is over once this part arrives---And these shall go away into everlasting punishment. Which then means they go into everlasting punishment at that time, and not a thousand years later instead. The latter contradicts a real world example. Where in the real world one starts serving their sentence at that time, not years later instead, once the sentence has been decided.

IN my view the sheep and goats judgment and the great white throne judgment are not the same judgment. And that the sheep and goats judgment, if sticking to context, meaning one has been observing in Matthew 25 leading up to this judgment, that profitable and unprofitable servants have been the topic, not all of the lost in general. Therefore, the goats, in context, are not meaning all of the lost in general, they are only meaning Christ's professed servants, unprofitable ones in this case.

For example, Matthew 25:1-13. Where in that context is it pertaining to the lost in general, which might include atheists, for example? How can the 5 foolish virgins be representing all of the lost in general, which would include atheists since they fit the lost in general? Who would interpret Matthew 25:1-13 in that manner, that the 5 foolish virgins represent all of the lost in general? Probably nobody, would be my guess.

Why is it then that these interpreters can rightfully discern the context pertaining to Matthew 25:1-13, but when it comes to the sheep and goats judgment, now this same interpreter is making nonsense out of the context by having it involving anything other than what it is actually involving? In this case it is involving separating His professed servants, the profitable and the unprofitable.

None of it has anything to do with separating all of the lost in general, such as some interpreters insist, mainly meaning Amils in this case, which would include atheists if they are correct. If this judgment also involves judging and sentencing atheists, for example, then these Amils need to prove it by showing how Matthew 25:1-13 is involving atheists as well? Keeping in mind, obviously there is a reason why Jesus first said what He said in Matthew 25:1-13 then brought up the sheep and goats judgment soon after. And if some can't connect the dots, then I don't know what to tell them since being unable to connect the dots is not an issue for me, so I guess I can't relate in this case.

Sorta like the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man went straight to hell begging for somebody to warn his brothers on earth about his place of torment in hell

Your theology is against biblical teaching, when a person dies their fate is sealed, no second chances in my Holy Bible
