"And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it's here now, when the dead will hear my voice - the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son. And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man. Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. (John 5:25-29 NLT)
People dies daily but resurrection occurs in batches. Jesus was the first man to be resurrected to life (1 Corinthians 15:20). The last group of saints to be resurrected will certainly be the millennium saints for the Great White Throne judgement (Revelation 20:12). What about those in between? Are there resurrections between the firstfruits and the Great White Throne judgement? According to the Bible, there will be a first resurrection (Revelation 20:6) before the millennium and those resurrected will reign with Christ for a thousand years.The trumpet will sound, believers will be raised imperishable in the twinkling of an eye and meet Christ in the air (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
