Les Feldick Bible Study

In what kind of body do the dead stand before God at the great white throne?

The unsaved dead stand before God at the great white throne in resurrected bodies, but not in resurrected bodies as glorious as believers' bodies. They will have a resurrected body fit for the lake of fire, since it will not be consumed or burned up.

Les explains that the great white throne is strictly for unbelievers and the lost, not for believers. The dead of all the ages, small and great, stand before God in their resurrected body. Les clarifies that these are not resurrected bodies as glorious as believers' coming bodies, and they do not have all the benefits believers will have. Instead, they will have a resurrected body fit for the lake of fire, because it will not be consumed or burned up.
