All that are in the book will be resurrected at the last trump. That is what Paul said in 1Corinthians 15. That is the first resurrection.

“Blessed is he that has part in the first resurrection”

Sound familiar?

Revelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

John 5:28-29

[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Two resurrections, 1000 years apart.

The GWT is a resurrection unto death, the “second death.”

Two resurrections, 1000 years apart.

They are in REVERSE order in the Bible.

The GWT is a resurrection unto death, the “second death.”

OH?

Then WHY open the BoL??

According to the Book:

Revelation 20:11-15

11 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.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
