CHAPTER XXIX
WRITING THE NAMES
IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
I
N DUE time, when the paradise conditions are
developing and the Armageddon survivors and
their lovely children are engaging in constructive
activities over all the earth and the princes
of the King are supervising and taking a right and
exemplary lead in the new earth, the resurrection
of the rest of the human dead will take place .
When on earth as a man Jesus not only healed
those with faith in him but also raised the dead .
At the appointed hour he will exercise his resurrection
power toward the evildoer who he said
would be with him in paradise and toward all the
other entombed dead . "For just as the Father has
in himself the gift of life, so he has granted to the
Son to have also in himself the gift of life . And he
has given him 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,
those who did good things to a resurrection of
life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection
of judgment ." John 5 :26-29, NW So it is
that John in vision "saw the dead, the great and
the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls
were opened . But another scroll was opened ; it is
the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out
t . When will resurrection power be exercised toward
the others in the memorial tombs? By whom?
