Not according to Revelation. There is the first resurrection, and the rest of the dead are raised at the end of the universe.

“Not according to Revelation. There is the first resurrection, and the rest of the dead are raised at the end of the universe.”

If this is true, then only those who live during the tribulation period could ever be saved. Everyone who is part of the second resurrection is damned, because they will be judged according to their works. It is even called the “resurrection of the wicked”, in Acts 24:15, and the “resurrection of judgement” in John 5:29.

The other, parallel verses that speak of the first resurrection clarify that it includes all believers, 1 Thes. 4:13-17 is probably the best example of that, because it speaks of all believers, both living and dead.
