Revelation 20:11-12

In Revelation 20:11, we find that the dead rise. So they are alive but they must be given the same vision that you and I now possess. They are judged, according this verse. The word there is krino, a different word from krisis, and it means to try, to test, to decide, to conclude. It can also mean punish, a sentence, it covers the whole gamut, and is therefore somewhat different than the word, krisis. Because this word now includes everything from calling to sentence.

What we see there in Revelation 20:11-12 is that these people are being judged even as we now are. We understand now because of what we are going through that it is part of the same pattern, that judgment is going to take place over a period of time, and their growth is going to be part of process, and all the while that they are going through this process they are being judged, evaluated in order to stir them into the right direction and to produce the most and the best.

Excerpted from The Second Resurrection

Revelation 20:11-13

Besides, these severe punishments for iniquity are not necessarily eternal. The wages of sin is death. But our God, that same Lord of hosts, the Commander of the armies of the Lord, has overcome death. And He can raise them up in the general resurrection and give them their day of salvation. So in the end, I say this kind of flippantly, but no harm, no foul. He was moving His purpose forward and did that as Commander of the Lord's armies to move the purpose of God forward because that is what God had told Him to do.

We know from Revelation 20:11-13, that these people who were annihilated on earth in their day will come back, and they will be given their chance for eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

Excerpted from The Divine Warrior

Revelation 20:11-13

The Great White Throne is shown here in these verses, indicating judgment is taking place. The open books are the books of the Bible, which have been opened for these resurrected people to understand and to be judged from. The Book of Life is opened to enter new names of those saved, and everyone resurrected will be given an opportunity, including those resurrected from the sea.
