ANOTHER FACTOR THAT PROVES AMIL FALSE, PAUL WISHED FOR A RESURRECTION OF THE UNJUST ALSO

[Davy]

Acts 24:15
15 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.

 

[Truth7t7]

Paul had hope that the "unjust" dead would be raised so they would REPENT! and turn to Christ, and be SAVED!

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

Acts 24:15
15 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.

Paul made clear what he meant in this verse...,

2thess 1
6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you, 7 and to give relief to you who are so distressed and to us as well when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him]. 9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day , and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed and trusted [and confirmed in your lives].

So he clearly meant that there would be a resurrection that would consist of the just and unjust at the same time.

The lord taught them well Davy...,

Jn 5
27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a Son of Man [sinless humanity, qualifying Him to sit in judgment over mankind].
28 Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].

We are glorified and they are judged and sentenced.

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.

See above.

Paul had hope that the "unjust" dead would be raised so they would REPENT! and turn to Christ, and be SAVED!

See above and let Paul speak for himself.

Peter encourages all to repent before they die.

The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Acts 17:30
Therefore God overlooked and disregarded the former ages of ignorance; but now He commands all people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking, to regret their past sins, and to seek God’s purpose for their lives], 31 because He has set a day when He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed and destined for that task, and He has provided credible proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

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.

Zechariah Chapter 14 Is The Eternal Kingdom

Zechariah 14:1-12 below shows the Lords return to earth in fire in final judgement.

(Verse 1) shows "The Day Of The Lord" also seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13 "Fire Judgement" below

(Verse 2) Shows that all nations are gathered for the final battle of armageddon.

(Verses 3-5) shows the Lords return, and his eternal feet touch down on the earthly Mt, of Olives, and in the "Twinkling Of An Eye" 1 Cor 15:52 takes place, in the catching up, resurrection, final judgement by fire, and the New Heavens, Earth, and Jerusalem being revealed for eternity, judgement complete, eternity begins.

(Verses 6-7) Eternal light seen, in the eternal kingdom, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 8) The river of life is seen, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 10) The New creation is being revealed, the plain is lifted up.

(Verse 12) "The Day Of The Lord" showing the "Last Day" judgement by the Lords fire, as men are consumed as they stand on their feet, 2 Peter 3:10-13

2 Peter 3:10KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Revelation 22:1KJV
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

"The Eternal Kingdom"!

Zechariah 14:1-12KJV
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lordshall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

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.

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...

Zechariah 14:16 Who Will Be Left Of The Nations?

You will closely note, Zechariah 14:16 & Isaiah 4:3-4 are "Parallel" readings of the same event, as Isaiah gives a clear account of those who are left, those who are found in the book of life, the final judgement has passed, eternity has begun "After" The Day Of The Lord

You will closely note in Isaiah 4:4 below, Jerusalem will be purged by the spirit of (Judgement) & (Burning)

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Only The Righteous Are Left, The Book Of Life "Was" Opened (Every One That Is Written Among The Living)

Zechariah 14:16KJV
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.

Isaiah 4:3-4KJV
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

Revelation 21:24-27KJV
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Teaching that the unsaved dead will get a second chance at salvation is a doctrine of devils. Scripture teaches that now is the time of salvation, not tomorrow and not after being resurrected. People need to repent now before it's too late.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

There is one future resurrection of "All" , and only two places to go

1.) The resurrection to eternal life in the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem

2.) The resurrection to eternal damnation in the Lake Of Fire

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.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

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.

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.

Where did Jesus indicate that some of the unjust dead would be resurrected in one event (His return) with the rest being resurrected in another event that would occur long after? It seems clear to me that He indicated they would all be resurrected at the same time and then judged. Which is exactly what is indicated in Revelation 20:11-15 as well. There is no indication at all in Revelation 20:11-15 that any of the unsaved dead whose names are not written in the book of life had already previously been cast into the lake of fire before Rev 20:11-15 takes place.

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.

While it is true that Acts 24:15 shows Paul's hope in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the idea that the unjust are raised so they might repent after resurrection is not supported by Scripture. The Bible teaches that the opportunity for repentance is given during one's lifetime, not after resurrection. Hebrews 9:27 says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment," indicating that after death comes judgment, not another chance for repentance. John 5:28-29 explains that all who are in the graves will rise: "they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

Regarding Revelation 3:9, the passage speaks of those who are called the "synagogue of Satan" being made to acknowledge that Jesus has loved His faithful, but it does not imply that these individuals will repent or be saved after Christ's return. Instead, it reflects a display of God's justice, where even His enemies will be forced to recognize His truth (Philippians 2:10-11: "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord"). However, forced acknowledgment is not the same as salvation.

As for the "tares" in Matthew 13, Jesus explains that the tares are the children of the wicked one (Matthew 13:38) and that at the harvest, which is the end of the world, they are gathered and burned in the fire (Matthew 13:40-42), not given further opportunity to repent.

Regarding Zechariah 14:16-19, it describes survivors from the nations who fought against Jerusalem who will worship the King during His reign. However, this refers to those left alive after Christ’s return, not to the resurrected unjust dead. These survivors are from among the living nations, not from those who have been resurrected to face judgment.

Zephaniah 3:8-9 speaks of God's judgment on the nations and then a purification among a remnant who will serve Him with one consent, but again, this is about a change among the living, not post-resurrection repentance for the unjust.

Thus, according to Scripture, the unjust are raised for judgment, not for a second chance to repent, and the time for repentance is now, during this life (2 Corinthians 6:2: "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation").
