You're talking in circles.

Revelation 20 is clear that those that received the mark will not be a part of the First Resurrection.

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power...”

Where do you see those that received the mark?

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished...”

Resurrected unto the GWT judgement!

Not beneficiaries of grace, but on trial.

“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.”

What will be the end of those judged “according to their works?”

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:” be cautious regarding the ‘first resurrection; because it is not a one day all get it type thing. Jesus raised some from the dead and Peter did too, and Elijah did also. The Rapture will raise The Bride dead and take them away to where Jesus has been preparing a place. This is not an event included in the resurrection that you’re citing.

None of us know what the fate of those will be whom are judged out of the ‘books’ - which may in fact be the bible itself.

If they are ‘on trial’ as you assert - how can the sentence of eternal death be applied on all, which is the implication you suggest.

There are other studies that would indicate that only 144,000 of the Tribes of Israel make it into the First Resurrection. Where does that leave us Gentiles?

In the Second Resurrection. And if that be the case - are we all destined for the Lake of Fire since we are going to be judged out of the things written in the books?
