How long are we going to wait to see our dead ones come back to life? Yahshua showed that in Yahweh’s plan, not all of the dead will be dealt with in the same manner or at the same time. Some will be brought back to life at His second coming to this earth, just ahead of us, to set up Yahweh’s government. Others will be brought to life again much later, (Read John 5:28-29).
The first resurrection, which will involve Yahweh’s true servants down through the ages, is to spirit life. The second resurrection is to physical life. All those who never before had a chance to understand and live Yahweh’s way will be raised to learn the truth and to be judged by it, (Rev. 20:11-12).
The first resurrection will include those who have known and followed Yahweh’s ways in their life time.
Yahshua said that once the signs of the end are clearly evident, we can be sure His second coming is soon. (Matt. 24:32-33). The signs of the end are clearly with us. Rev. 20:5 tells us that the second resurrection occurs 1000 years after the first. There is a resurrection for those who have not been true believers. Every human who has ever lived will have a chance to Yahweh’s kingdom.
To us humans, 1000 years appear too long to wait. Do not despair. With Yahweh a thousand years is as one day, 2 Pet. 3:8. Once Yahshua’s rule is established, the next thousand years will whisk by like one day passes for us now.
Yahweh assures us that in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of Yahweh, (Rom. 8:37-39).
Our dead relations are not permanently gone forever. This is an encouraging message you can look forward to. Physical death is not the end. Yahweh is much concerned about the life and death of every one of His creation. Your dead ones will resurrect and live again. That is the hope of man!
Yahshua shall return with a shout, and with Archangel’s call backed with the blasting of trumpet heralding His return to reign on earth, with His return shall the dead in Him be resurrected and immediately transformed into immortal beings, (1 Thes4:16) .MZ.
