REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Forty One - TheThousand-Year Judgment Day - Conclusion

 John, however, observes a throng far more numerous than the surviving great crowd. It will  number into the thousands of millions! "And I saw the dead, the great  and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened." (Revelation 20:12a) "The great and the small" embraces the prominent as well as the less prominenbt ones of the humans that have lived and died during the past 6,000 years. In the Gospel that apostle John wrote shortly after Revelation, Jesus said of the Father: "He has give him  [Jesus] authority  to do judging, because Son of man he is. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."  (J0hn 5:27-29)   What a stupendous project- the undoing of the deaths and burials throughout all history!  No doubt those countless millions  in God's memory  will be brought forthy gradually so that the great crowd- so few by comparison -will be able to handle problems that may arise because resurrected ones may tend at first to follow their old-lifestyle, with its fleshly weaknesses and  attitudes.
