But the point Jesus is making is that the call of those entering Paradise is non stop, it did start with Lazarus. The dead have to wait until the GWT, and then they will be called. Those in Paradise do hear the call at physical death. THEY DO NOT WAIT.
You are still not understanding. In the story Jesus gave about Lazarus and the rich man at the end... of Luke 16 (not the Lazarus that was wrapped up and buried in a cave), what happened to the poor beggar Lazarus when he died and was taken by angels to the bosom of Abraham?
Luke 16:22
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
KJV
Do you not see that both Lazarus and the rich man died, literally, and their flesh was buried? Yet they both appeared in Paradise, but not on the same side in Paradise.
So what kind of body were they in when they appeared in Paradise? or was our Lord Jesus just fibbing to us about that kind thing of going to Paradise after death of the flesh, and lied also to the malefactor crucified with Him about going to Paradise? (Luke 23:43).
The reality per God's Word, is that the concept of death has different meaning for different times. For this present world, death is about the death of our flesh body. For the world to come, death is about the "second death", which is destruction of one's spirit/soul in the future "lake of fire". So the term "the dead" is meant differently in that world to come after Lord Jesus returns.
1. flesh death, 1st death = for this present flesh world only
2. "second death" = for the world to come only, the destruction of the spirit/mortal soul.
It's really that simple. There won't be some in resurrected bodies, while others are still in flesh bodies in that world to come. The unsaved will still be spiritually dead in their spirit/soul, not believing on Jesus Christ. The only thing that will have changed is, their flesh will have been cast off.
Thus "the dead" of Rev.20:5 are raised on the day of Christ's return also, which is what the John 5:28-29 is about too.
Just like the allegory Jesus used about the blind Pharisees, how they appeared like whited tombs on the outside, but inside were full of dead men's bones, that was show the concept of being without Christ, one's spirit not born again through His Blood shed on the cross. That is literally what the unsaved are like even now; their souls are still literally dead inside their flesh body without Christ Jesus. That means those are 'spiritually dead' inside. Even when their flesh dies or is cast off on the last day, their spirit with soul is still... spiritually dead and not born again in Christ. That is what "the dead" means in Rev.20:5.
Rom 8:9
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
KJV
Rom 8:11
11 But if the Spirit of Him That raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He That raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
KJV
So many totally misinterpret that above Romans 8:11 verse about the mortal body being quickened, wrongly thinking Paul was talking about our flesh body. No, he was pointing to our 'spirit' with soul, because that last phrase "that dwelleth in you" isn't about flesh. It's about the spirit/soul that dwells INSIDE our flesh body. What is quickened when we die, or changed on the last day, is our 'spirit' by God's Spirit, not our flesh. This is why Apostle Paul was emphatic that the resurrection is to a "spiritual body", not another flesh body.
So if all souls are in that body in the world to come, then the idea of being 'dead' has a different meaning. And so does the idea of 'living' have a different meaning in that time also...
Millennium Timing:
1. being dead = one's spirit/soul is still mortal and liable to die in the "lake of fire" at the "second death", the unsaved of that time.
2. the Living = those who will have put on immortality through Christ Jesus and will never die.
Thus the Revelation 20:5 verse really means, the unsaved, the spiritually dead, will not live again for the thousand years until they 'believe' on Christ Jesus and their soul is born again through Him. This is only hinted at though in Rev.20, because it mentions a FIRST resurrection.
If someone says, the FIRST widget, what do they automatically think of next? the SECOND, or another widget, at least one more after the first for sure! Well what KIND of resurrection was the 1st resurrection per Rev.20? The SAVED, those in Christ!
Likewise at the end of the 1,000 years, there will be at least one more 'resurrection of life' like the 1st one. During the 1,000 years, The Gospel will be accepted by many of those unsaved souls who NEVER had their opportunity to hear during this present world. And especially Israel in part which God blinded away from The Gospel so it would go to the Gentiles, per Romans 11, that will be their first opportunity to 'hear' The Gospel with eyes to see, and ears to hear, and believe. And many of them will believe on Jesus then (end of Zechariah 12).
Preaching and teaching under Jesus our Boss will be the main duty of His elect priests in that time!
Ezek 44:23-25
23 And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to My judgments: and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all Mine assemblies; and they shall hallow My sabbaths.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
KJV
That is why Jesus told His elect of the Church of Philadelphia that He will make those of the "synagogue of Satan" to come worship at the feet of His elect (Revelation 3:9).
For those unsaved that still refuse to believe The Gospel after the thousand years, they instead will choose to perish in the "lake of fire" with Satan, hell, and death.
