gdebrae write in post #826 Its interesting to read Rev. 20:12-13 in the greek text to see how the word nekroi, nekrous,(the dead) jumps out at you. The "dead are standing" and "the dead are judged". While one can assume a bodily resurrection there is not one mentioned in these verses. This is God's final verdict about those who have refused to believe in Christ.

This is in fact much closer to my own view of Rev 20:11-15, and would seem at odds with your view that All the physically dead are raised--saved and unsaved...The spiritually alive (regenerate) are rewarded.

I still think gdebrae and I are united on the point which you have raised.

Revelation 20 is a strange text in some ways, but I think it's clear from John 5:28-29 that the physical resurrection of the physically dead occurs all at the same time. (Revelation 20 merely keys on those who are condemned in their spiritual deadness.)

This is basically why gdebrae and I aren't premills. (Well, there are other reasons, of course, but...)
