Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: Notice that this verse makes no reference to Hell, the Lake of Fire, or outer darkness.
Rather it points toward the opinion of other people as being the opposite of everlasting life. Some upon being resurrected will face shame and contempt in the sight of God, Christ, the holy angels, and people. They have not been honest people, people of integrity. So there are two areas of concern. One is what we will face in the hour of our physical death. The other is what we will experience when we are raised from the dead.
All Christians know the parable of the wasteful manager. He had not worked faithfully and diligently so his employer decided to fire him. Since he did not know how to get another job, the dishonest manager went to people who were in debt to his employer. He had them change their bills so it appeared they owed a lesser amount. Jesus commented on this incident. He advised Christians who were not true to their calling to make friends with the people of the world so when they died they would have someplace to go, some spirits who would receive them in the eternal dwellings in the spirit world.
I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. The following verse is interesting. It sounds as though those who were kings in this world will be seated on thrones when they descend into the spirit realm.

This seems reasonable to me. The people over whom they have ruled would expect to be governed by their familiar kings and queens when they died. It seems likely to me that they could chose to be so governed, if they wished. They will all respond, they will say to you, "You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us. The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. Perhaps this means the wicked works of some individuals are revealed quickly, while others will appear at a later time.
His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. That which we have done in cooperation with the Spirit of God will stand the fire. That which we have done out of our own enthusiasm, or self-will and personal ambition, will not stand the fire.
The Lord Jesus spoke to some of His servants who had accomplished mighty deeds in His name: I do not care what miracles you did in My name. I never knew you. The above is an important word for our generation. We in America evaluate Christian ministry in terms of the number of people affected. Consequently ministers who have a flair for business administration or showmanship soon bring together thousands of people.
Yet in our heart we must know better than this. Jesus fed the multitudes but it was eleven men who brought the Gospel to the whole world. There were only three on the Mount of Transfiguration. We understand a very large congregation may signify that the demands of discipleship are not being presented clearly to the audience. This is not always the case, but it may prove to be a fact more often than we could wish. Would we view a faithful couple who had worked for many years with twenty-five people as being as successful, as spiritual, as a young minister just out of Bible college who had two thousand people attending on Sunday morning?
In our heart we must know the numbers of people apparently being influenced is not a measure of Kingdom worth. Even a thoughtful, unsaved person might point out that we are not using the correct criteria to measure success in the Kingdom of God. Yet we go on, and on, and on, and on talking about "the fastest growing church in America.
How could it be otherwise? One thing is certain: The Holy Spirit may bring forth many excellent saints from our ministry. That is His role. But there will be no profit to us personally if we have succeeded by manipulating people and circumstances, not being too careful with the fine points of righteousness. The people we have betrayed in our mad rush to be important will scorn us in the spirit world.

We of the Christian churches often hold unscriptural values. We need to get this straightened out before we stand before our Creator, His angels, the righteous dead, and the wicked dead. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. At that time each will receive his praise from God. All that has been hidden in darkness will be brought to light at the coming of the Lord. The motives of the hearts of individuals will be exposed.
proclaim (something) from the rooftops
Then God will praise or condemn the person. Again, this is pointing toward the day of resurrection, toward the return of the Lord Jesus to the earth. We have had so much false teaching concerning the coming of the Lord that the concept of the day of resurrection has been pushed into the background.
Yet the day of resurrection is by far one of the most important concepts of the Christian salvation. The fourth chapter of the Book of Thessalonians, where Paul speaks of the coming of the Lord, has been warped into a mythological going of the saints to Heaven. If we would read the verses carefully we would notice that Paul is not emphasizing the going of the living saints but the return of the deceased saints and their resurrection from the dead. We believe Jesus died and rose again and so we believe God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
It is my personal point of view that the dead in Christ will include all the righteous dead from the time of Abel. The "dead in Christ" does not refer to everyone who has taken the four steps of salvation but those who truly are abiding in Christ. To abide in Christ is vastly more than making an initial profession of faith and then living our own life as we see fit. It is speaking of being crucified with Christ so it is Christ who is living in us rather than our old personality. There are the dead in Christ; then there are those who still are living physically on the earth but who at the same time are living in the heavenlies in Jesus.
This is the blessed and holy royal priesthood of God. They have lived a victorious life through Jesus Christ until the second death, the Lake of Fire, no longer has authority over them. How could this be true of Abel, Abraham, and Moses? I do not know how they could be crucified with Christ and risen with Christ. But this is what it means to be born again; and until we are born again we cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God. So I guess some things take place in the spirit world that we will understand later. In any case, the patriarchs cannot be made perfect apart from us but shall be made perfect together with us in the day of resurrection.
We see then, that we need to concentrate on what we shall face in the day of resurrection. It is certain only those who have been found abiding in Jesus Christ will be raised in the first resurrection or transformed into immortality if they are alive on the earth at the time of the return of Christ. Such instantaneous transformation into glory requires that they have been judged prior to this time. They certainly cannot be transformed into immortality and after that stand before Christ and be judged!
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection.

The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. The general resurrection of the dead will take place at the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. Unless we have been living as a victorious Christian, really following Christ each day, we need to give careful thought to the general resurrection, for this is where we shall appear. None of the three preceding verses applies to the first resurrection, the resurrection of the royal priesthood. No books are opened at the time of the first resurrection.
The participants already have been judged worthy to walk with Christ in the white robes of the priesthood. In no case will any of these be a foolish virgin, or someone who wasted his or her talent. Those who are judged worthy to participate in the first resurrection will always be with the Lord. But most people on the earth, including perhaps the majority of the believers in Christ, need to realize their death will bring them to a time of waiting.
Their rewards or punishments will not be given to them until the Lord returns. The vision of the pre-tribulation "rapture" of all believers is not a vision from God. It is a deception and has lulled to sleep the majority of Christian believers. We think God in His mercy is about to send enough trouble on the United States that many believers will awaken, call on the name of the Lord, and change their careless attitude toward Christ to one of utmost diligence. By so doing they will save themselves and those who hear them.
Anyone who is teaching that the believers in Christ will never experience judgment is not hearing from the Lord. The truth is, judgment begins with those who are closest to the Lord. Every one of us shall give an account of Himself to Jesus Christ. At some point after we pass from this life, the hidden things will be revealed. That which was spoken in the ear will be shouted from the housetops.
15 Bible verses about Housetops
God may see fit to spare us from His judgment and the judgment of people if we turn from our devious ways and serve God in sincerity and truth. How much we are spared depends entirely on the judgment of Christ. We see, then, that the issue of the future is not just Hell, or the outer darkness, or the Lake of Fire. There surely is a Hell, an outer darkness, and a Lake of Fire. But we also should be concerned about how we shall be viewed when we enter the spirit realm. And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.
Will we be seen as a weak believer who wanted to live a righteous life but because of circumstances beyond our control, in some instances, did not achieve much maturity in Christ? Will we be seen as a person who never heard the Gospel but who was regarded by our relatives and friends as being upright and generous?
Will we appear as a schemer who cheated a more honorable person, preventing him from receiving the just rewards of his efforts?
Just how will we appear in the spirit world when we die, and what will we experience when we are revealed before the Judgment Seat of Christ? For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. We Christians have had much false teaching concerning the consequences of our behavior on earth. Our doctrine states that after we take the four steps of salvation we have nothing to fear in the future.
This is not the case. How do you wish to appear when you are brought out from your Mission Impossible fabricated environment and stand in the sunlight of a world where everyone can see you as you truly are? If you are alive on the earth there still is time for you to turn from any wickedness in your life, make things right with God and man, and show that you actually are a person of honor and integrity.
The Christian religion, as has happened with other religions of the world, has become an alternative to honor and integrity. The Christian salvation is a wonderful gift from the Lord God of Heaven. But God will never authorize its use as an alternative to righteous behavior, to holiness of personality, to stern obedience to God. Live righteously before people and they will glorify God, in this world and in that which is to come. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
The above is historically and biblically factual. The first passage that came to mind is as follows: There is nothing that has been concealed that shall not be revealed. And then there is a verse I have wondered about: I sometimes have thought about the following:
