The rest of the dead - Is it the true good news?

To be between "the rest of the dead " - Is it really the true good news of Jesus Christ ?

Rev 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life  until the thousand years were ended.) 

Thousands of people consider "to be a dead" as the true good news of Jesus Christ.
Can someone truly exercise faith in Jesus Christ but, at the same time, to be considered as "the rest of the dead"? Is it a true teaching of Jesus Christ? Or is it lacking consistency? Let us see.

           "The rest of the dead did not come to life"

The true Good News, as Jesus said:
John 5:24 Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life. [he is not a dead one!!!]

Please compare:

"The rest of the dead did not come to life"

" He that hears my word and believes him that sent me... has passed over from death to life"

             "has passed over from death to life"

John 10:10 The thief does not come unless it is to steal and slay and destroy. I have come that they might have life and might have it in abundance. 

So, Why are they still dead?

Answer: They do not really hear Jesus' voice , neither His Father's voice

He that DOES NOT hear my word and DOES NOT believe him that sent me has NOT everlasting life, and he come into judgment because has NOT passed over from death to life. He are "still the rest of the dead"

Those who really follow Jesus are considered as "alive" and  are also considered to be in heaven:

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 5 made us alive together with the Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses—by undeserved kindness YOU have been saved— 6 and he raised us up together and seated us together in the heavenly places in union with Christ Jesus, 

To be "a dead" is not a "good news of Jesus Christ" - Rev 20:5 - please compare with John 10:10, John 5:24, John 11:26, John 3:18 ,John 10:27,John 8:24

To be "a dead" only reveals that the people is not in union or harmony with Jesus and Jehovah:

Matthew 12:30 He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.

Because they do not believe in the only true Good news , they are still dead.
"To be a dead" is not the purpose of Jesus Christ! To call "To be a dead" as good news is to promote a different good news! It is a Covenant with Death, not a genuine Good News.

Isaiah 28:14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, YOU braggarts, YOU rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem: 15 Because YOU men have said: “We have concluded a covenant with Death; and with She′ol we have effected a vision; the overflowing flash flood, in case it should pass through, will not come to us, for we have made a lie our refuge and in falsehood we have concealed ourselves”; 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion+ a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation. No one exercising faith will get panicky. 17 And I will make justice* the measuring line and righteousness the leveling instrument; and the hail must sweep away the refuge of a lie, and the waters themselves will flood out the very place of concealment. 18 And YOUR covenant with Death will certainly be dissolved, and that vision of YOURS with She′ol will not stand. The overflowing flash flood, when it passes through—YOU must also become for it a trampling place.


"The rest of the dead" - They will be judged!!


John 3:36 He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. [a Resurrection of Judgment!!]


John 5:24 Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.

Rev 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life [they will be judged] until the thousand years were ended.)

John 3:18 He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged.

If you are considered as a dead (Rev 20:5), you will be judged, and you are dead because you DO NOT "exercise faith if the words of Jesus Christ."

 "present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead" Romans 6:13

1 John 3:14 We know we have passed over from death to life [ not in the group ' rest of the dead '], because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains in death. (The rest of the dead - Rev 20:5)

There is no good news other than:
John 1:12 However, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name; 13 and they were born, not from blood* or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.

            Only the son remains forever

John 8:35 Moreover, the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son remains forever.

In order to live forever we need to be a son of God! We need to born again from God! (John 3:3). We need to be children of God, in union with Jesus Christ:

John 11:52 ...in order that the children of God who are scattered about he might also gather together in one.


Matthew 12:30 ... he that does not gather with me scatters. 
If someone is not children of God, he will not gather together in Jesus Christ.

            Are you in the Teachings of Jesus Christ?

John 7:16 Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me.

             Or are you following a "another good news"?

John 10:10 The thief does not come unless it is to steal and slay and destroy. I have come that they might have life and might have it in abundance. 

 "I have come that they might have life and might have it in abundance"

Jesus have come in order that we were no longer considered as a "dead".  (Rev 20:5)

John 14:23 In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our abode with him.

"we shall come to him and make our abode with him."  - to be Temple of God, the "place" where the spirit of God resides (1 Cor 3:16)

If Jehovah's spirit resides in you, you will be a living.
Ask for Holy Spirit!!!!

Luke 11:9 Accordingly I say to YOU, Keep on asking, and it will be given YOU; keep on seeking, and YOU will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to YOU. 10 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking it will be opened. 11 Indeed, which father is there among YOU who, if his son asks for a fish, will perhaps hand him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he also asks for an egg, will hand him a scorpion? 13 Therefore, if YOU, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to YOUR children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!”

John 6:37 Everything the Father gives me will come to me, and the one that comes to me I will by no means drive away;

Rev 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life  until the thousand years were ended.) - Do you hope to be in this group?? To be a dead one? Please , seek for life now!

John 6:63 It is the spirit that is life-giving; the flesh is of no use at all. The sayings that I have spoken to YOU are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of YOU that do not believe.” 

Luke 9:60 But he said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead, but you go away and declare abroad the kingdom of God."
