Chapter Fort-One/God's Day of Judgment-It's Joyful Outcome - Opening Other Scrolls - Conclusion

 With regard to the earthly resurrection, Jesus said that 'those who did good things come out to resurrection of life, those who practice vile things to a resurrection of judgment.' Here "life" and "judgment" contrast with each other, showing that those resurrected ones who "practiced vile things" after being instructed in the inspired Scriptures and scrolls are judged to be unworthy of life. Their names will not be written in the scroll, or book of life. (John 5:29)  This would be true of any who previously followed a faithful course but, who for some reason, turn aside during the Thousand Year Reign. Names can be erased. (Exodus 32:32, 33) On the other hand, those who obediently follow the things written in the scrolls will keep their names on the written record, the scroll of life, and continue living. For them, the resurrection will have proved to be one "of life."
