Mystery of the Faith Lesson 20
The Resurrection of the Lost
The followers of "The
Faith" believed that there would be one resurrection of the saved and lost
at the end of the world. There were things about the resurrection in
"The Faith" that they did not understand ("Mystery").
What they did not understand was that there would be two classes of
resurrections, the saved (First Resurrection) and the lost (Second
Resurrection).
The resurrection of the saved would be in three stages. Israel was taught
to harvest their crops in three stages, (1) firstfruits (tithe), (2) main
harvest, and (3) the gleaning for the poor. So also would be the
resurrection of the saved, (1) Christ the firstfruits, (2) the main
resurrection of the saved at the rapture, and (3) the gleaning of the saved at
the 2nd coming of Jesus which would complete the resurrection of the saved.
The last resurrection is that
of the lost. This resurrection will be at the end of the world. This resurrection
is known as the second death or second resurrection.

(Mark 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched., 46 Where
their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched., and 48 Where

the resurrected body of the lost. "Where worm
dieth not, and the is not
quenched."
to question 6.
7. The lost in their resurrected bodies of death will stand before the great white of
God.
(Revelation 20:11-13 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for
them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the
book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to their works.

delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works.)

second death.)
