At the general resurrection, all the dead will be raised, leading to either eternal life for believers or judgment for the wicked.
The general resurrection is a significant event that will occur at Christ's return, as foreseen in Scriptures like John 5:28-29. This resurrection encompasses all who have ever lived, as they will rise from their graves—those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of damnation. This demonstrates the finality of God's judgment and the distinction between the saved and the lost. Believers will experience eternal life and communion with Christ, while unbelievers will face judgment and separation from God's presence. The general resurrection emphasizes God's sovereignty over life, death, and eternity.
