 On the other hand, some will be specially favored in the resurrection. The apostle Paul indicated this when he said: "I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrectionn of both the righteous and the unrighteous." (Acts 24:15)  With regard to the earthly resurrectionn, "the righteous"  will include faithful men and women of old-Abraham, Rahab, and many others - who were declared righteous as to friendship with God.  (James 2:21,23, 25)  In this same group will be those righteous other sheep  who died faithful  to Jehovah in modern times. Likely, all suchg integrity keepers will be resurrected early in Jesus' Millennial Reign. (Job 14:13-15;27:5; Daniell 12:13; Hebrew 11:35, 39, 40) No doubt many of these resurrected righteous ones  will be assigned  special privileges in overseeing the tremendous work of restoration in Paradise. - PSALM 45:14; compare ISAIAH 32:1, 16-18; 61:5; 65:21-23.
