Read Revelation 20:15. I would think that being flung into the Lake of Fire, means annihilation. I could be wrong, maybe the ungodly wicked burn forever, but my belief, from what I know of God's nature, is the LoF is the end for them.
Explain please how you can disagree with 47 Bible verses that simply add up to the result I presented? Calling correct exegesis an 'imposition' is an indictment on you.
Sheer speculation and unbiblical assumption! Revelation 20:4 is crystal clear: it will be ONLY the Trib martyrs who will be raised at the Return.
Please desist in making assertions like this without genuine Bible support.
More assumptions, bereft of scriptural support.
Daniel 12:13, will 'sleep' until the end of the final age.
EVERYONE who has ever lived will stand before God at the GWT, after the Millennium.
I do.
The almost continuous wars, famines, plagues and economic disasters since re first century, fulfill Seals 1-4. If any of those had been much worse, mankind would have perished. But it is plain to everyone, [except those blinded by false beliefs] that the Fifth Seal was opened at Jesus Ascension and Stephens was the first soul to be placed under the heavenly Altar.
No. The G/M attack awaits the establishment of a Christian nation in all of the holy Land, as is well prophesied. Isaiah 62:1-5, Romans 9:24-26, Ezekiel 34:11-16. +

As for the Lake of Fire. If Rev. 20 was the only thought on it I would agree
Jesus in the gospels spoke of the lake as gehenna where the worm never dies and there will be perpetual wailing and gnashing of teeth!
Rev. 14 also says those who take the mark will NOT be destroyed but tormented forever.

Well I do no t assert!
The Dead in Christ are raised at the rapture! So they are already resurrected.
The OT saints are raised to join their spirit/souls sometime before the millennium so that they can rule the earth under Jesus! That was and still is God's promise to Israel!
You have to look at all the Bible!
You write:
"I do.
The almost continuous wars, famines, plagues and economic disasters since re first century, fulfill Seals 1-4. If any of those had been much worse, mankind would have perished. But it is plain to everyone, [except those blinded by false beliefs] that the Fifth Seal was opened at Jesus Ascension and Stephens was the first soul to be placed under the heavenly Altar."
So who is the rider of the white horse given a bow and crown?
The 2nd horse takes peace froom th eearth. Prior to 1914 when was there a world war??
Third horse. When was there a global famine?
Fourth horse. when was 1/4th the earth killed by war famine and beasts?

You are just plain wrong! The Body of Christ has already stood at teh Bema throne and never appear at the GWT!
OT saints have been living in their covenanted kingdom for 1000 years- they are already saved and judged. They were resurrected when Jesus ascended ! Once again it takes the whole Bible to understand.
REV>20:
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
According to you any saved person who missed the first resurrection- the second death has authority over them:

No No NO! The second resurrection is only for those who died unsaved throughout history and those who were killed by the Lord during the Millennium! The survivors of the trb will go into the Millennial Kingdom and will repopulate the earth. People will have till their hundredth birthday to receive Christ, or they will die!
Is. 65: 17-25
