The Second or Last Resurrection. Following those who come forth in the two divisions of the first resurrection will be the “spirits of men who are to be judged, and are found under condemnation.” And, as with the first resurrection, not all will come forth at the same time. Here again, among the unjust, will be two major divisions of spirits whose resurrected bodies will be particularly suited to the assignment they will receive for immortal existence. “... These are the rest of the dead; and they live not again until the thousand years are ended, neither again until the end of the earth.” Among those who are to remain until “that great and last day, even the end,” and who will be the last to come forth in the second resurrection, will be those of whom the Lord has said “it had been better for them never to have been born,” for these are sons of perdition and they shall remain in a “filthy” or corrupt state, speaking of corrupt as that of existing without light and progression. These who remain to the very last are the ‘only ones on whom the second death shall have any power.”Share
