Full Question
Will it be possible for those who live as mortal men during the reign of Christ to become immortal at the end of the thousand years?
Answer
Yes, if they please God, they will enter into life at the end of the thousand years, just as those do who enter into life at the beginning of that period. If they die before that time, they will be raised and glorified. If they are alive, they will be changed. Their number will be much greater than the number of those who become immortal at the beginning of the thousand years. They will be harvest, while those accepted at the coming of Christ will be but the first fruits.
Proof:
“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” (1 Cor. 15-26.) “ The leaves of the (symbolic) tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22-2). “ Another book was opened which is the book of life, and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books.” Rev. 20-12.) “They (who enter in to life at the coming of Christ) were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and. unto the Lamb.” (Rev. 14-4.)
N. B.— There is nothing said here in this book from which we teach your children, both in the past and the present, that there will be an additional number raised to be judged at this time with the harvest, which were left over from the first fruits.
