The Bible speaks of several instances whereby one, who had died, was brought back to life (was resurrected). In each case, the one who was resurrected died once more with the exception of Christ Jesus. An example is Lazarus. He was resurrected, however, he later died. He was buried on the Island of Cyprus.

As to a resurrection whereby those who are resurrected will nevermore die, the Bible speaks of two. (John 5:28-29) One is the resurrection of the righteous (Luke 14:14) and the other is the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2).

As to the resurrection of the righteous, this resurrection will include several groups.

First was the resurrection of Christ Jesus that He might have supremacy in all things. (Colossians 1:18) His resurrection is to be followed by the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in death, those who are a part of the Christian Church. This resurrection will take place just prior to the time of tribulation upon the earth. (1Thessalonians 14:13-17)

Those who are saved and martyred during the time of tribulation will be resurrected at the end of the Great Tribulation. (Revelation 20:4) Also, at this time, Old Testament saints will be resurrected (Old Testament saints are people of faith in the one true and eternal God who died prior to the beginning of the Christian Church age).

As people will be born during the millennial (1000 year) reign of Christ Jesus upon the earth, they too must come to a saving faith in Him. Those who do, and die during this period, will be resurrected at the end of the Millennium (although the Bible does not specifically say this, this is the most logical time of their resurrection).

As to the resurrection of condemnation, all of the unrighteous dead (from the beginning of the world forward) will be resurrected and stand before Christ Jesus, in judgment of their sin, at the end of the Millennium. At this time, their degree of punishment, for all eternity, in the lake of fire, will be determined. (Revelation 20:11-14)
