SIMPLIFIED: The State of the Dead

So man lieth down, and riseth not:
---till the heavens be no more,
they shall not awake,
nor be raised out of their sleep.
Job 14:12
Q: When is that?
A: At the 2 Resurrections
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
--some to everlasting life,
--and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;
--they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life; and
--they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
Daniel 12:2/John 5:28,29

1st Resurrection
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall
--descend from heaven with a shout,
--with the voice of the archangel,
--and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17/Revelation 20:5

2nd Resurrection
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,....And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell [the grave] delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell [the grave] were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:7,13,14
