REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Six - Woe to the Ruinous Ones! - Conclusion

 The third woe is accompanied by an ongoing series of happy events that will proceed progressively through the Lord's day.  It is the time 'for the dead to be judged, and for God to give their reward to his slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearig his name.' That means a resurrection from the dead! For the anointed ones who had already fallen asleep in death, this takes place  early in the Lord's day.  (1Thessalonians 4:15-17) In due course the remaining holy ones join these by an instantaneous resurrection. Others too are to be rewarded, including God's slaves the prophets of  ancient times and all oters of mankind who come ti fear Jehovah's name, whether they are of the t crowd who survive the great teibulation or of "the dea great crowd who survive the great teibulation or of "the dead, the great and the small," who are raised to life   during Christ's Millennial Reign. Since God' Messianic Kingdom rule opens the way to dispense everlasting life to all who reach out for that precious provision. (Revelation 1:18; 7:9, 14; 20:12, 13; Romans 6:22; John 5:128, 29) Whether  it is immortal life in the heavens or eternal life on earth, this gift of life is a undeserved kindness from Jehovah, for which each recipient may be forever thankful! - Hebrews 2:9.
