Two Resurrections

This book provides a detailed examination of the two end-time resurrections. The first resurrection ("resurrection of life") occurs at Christ's second coming, when the church is raptured to meet Him in the air. Believers receive glorified, immortal, spiritual bodies and are judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ for rewards based on their earthly faithfulness. This event is preceded by three signs: the falling away, the rebuilding of the Third Temple, and the Antichrist seated in it. After the rapture, God's wrath is poured out through fourteen judgments (seven trumpets and seven bowls) for nearly three years. The second resurrection ("resurrection of condemnation") occurs after Christ's thousand-year reign and the Battle of Gog and Magog. At the Great White Throne judgment, the church pronounces sentences on all unbelievers—roughly 110 billion—who are cast into the lake of fire in worm-infested, burning bodies. The book also covers the 144,000 (sealed Jewish witnesses left to warn the world), the Battle of Armageddon, Christ's millennial reign, and the fate of children (who die at the rapture and receive bodies at the second resurrection). Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet meet their final end in the lake of fire.
