Jehovah's Witnesses: if you are in the first resurrection when Christ returns?

Question

can you lose your salvation after that?

Answer 1

It seems best to simply quote from the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses regarding this question.

The Watchtower, August 15, 2006, page 31
[quote]
Jehovah can annihilate any rebel in the lake of fire, denying him any hope... However, we have no reason to expect any such outcome. ...We can be confident of the thoroughness of the final test because Jehovah knows how to examine people inside and out. We can rest assured that the final test will eliminate any who would misuse their freedom of choice. Thus, although it is possible for those who pass the final test to rebel against God and hence be destroyed, it is very unlikely that such a thing will occur.

Answer 2

Yes.

Rev 20:3 "and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it], and sealed [it] over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time."

The first resurrection is over after the 1,000 years.

Rev 20:5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.

What does the devil do once loosed?

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall come forth to "deceive the nations" which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:

What happen to thoese who followed Satan?

"and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them. "

Answer 3

Considering that the 1st resurrection is for those who go to heaven to rule as Christ's bride class, that is salvation. After the 1,000 yr. rule of Christ's Kingdom, the Bible tells of Satan and demon buddies being released for a short time to allow any wishing to take Satan's side to choose.

Considering their experiences on earth, in contrast to heaven, it would be doubtful if any would choose Satan.

The Bible speaks of the 2nd resurrection of both righteous and unrighteous or those who never had the chance to choose whom they would follow. After that 1,000 yr. reign, some of these people will probably choose Satan. Though I personally can't imagine why, unless there is a major personality disorder or contrary streak. Bodily perfection does not mean bad decisions can't be made.

Answer 4

I want everyone to get a clear picture of what people are going to get if they experience this resurrection..... you die.. you wear your best clothes... some people get some possessions buried with them... ok we are all ready for the resurection... then it happens.... you wake up.. burried in your coffin... gophers ants, worms and spiders are feeding off your flesh.... no one is digging you up ... what is the first thing you ask for?.... to die....

Answer 5

Honestly, sure. ANYONE has free will. Look at Satan.
