The Just and the Unjust
Resurrection is associated with the time of the judgment of the last day. The phrase is used several times in the New Testament period. It includes all people, both righteous and unrighteous. What are the similarities and differences between the two groups?
1. Specific mention of unsaved people being present in the kingdom of God
2. Resurrection is a restoration to life for humans
3. Comparisons are made over the outcome of the judgments, some will turn out better than others, some will suffer less than others.
4. Some living during the transistion period between the present age and the one to come are not righteous, God will be dealing with those peoples. The invitation to change is pronounced and clearly possible.
5. There is no reason to think that unrighteous dead raised into that time period will have any different experiences than those who survive the time of trouble.
