Good News From God!
LESSON 6
What Hope Is There for the Dead?
4. Who will return to life?
Many millions of people who are dead in the grave will return to life on earth. Even some who did not know God and who practiced bad things will be resurrected.—Read Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15.
Resurrected ones will be able to learn the truth about God and to exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him. (Revelation 20:11-13) Those who return to life and do good things will be able to enjoy life forever on earth.—Read John 5:28, 29.
Here is the Watchtower Society's progression of Pirate Black Beard after his resurrection. He is welcomed to ''paradise earth'' after hundreds of years sleeping in his tomb. Black Beard managed to shave his beard before his death, but somehow decided his long sideburns would stay.
He now has a Bible study to learn about God. ( He refuses to shave his sideburns)
Now, he is telling his whales and tales of his history of high seas adventures of looting, pillaging and burning of villages to Armaggedon survivors. ( He refuses to shave his sideburns )
Now, the former Black Beard is shown welcoming new resurrection survivors and teaching the truth about God. ( He finally understands about long sideburns, and how they stumble new members and decides to shave them off )
