Yes — the lost are resurrected, appear bodily before the great white throne, and go into the lake of fire, which is the second death, with a body fit for that eternal doom.
Les Feldick teaches that the lost are not left in their pre-resurrection state. They are raised bodily out of hell and brought before the great white throne, where Christ judges the lost of all ages. After that judgment, they go into the lake of fire — the second death — in a resurrected body suited for eternal separation from God.
John 5:28-29 — Jesus explicitly says that those who have done evil will come forth to the resurrection of damnation — the clearest Bible statement that the lost are resurrected.
Revelation 20:5-6 — Reveals that the rest of the dead — the lost — do not live again until after the thousand years are finished, and that the second death has no power over those in the first resurrection.
The Bible plainly teaches a resurrection for the lost as well as for believers. In John 5:28-29, Jesus says that all who are in the graves shall hear His voice and come forth — those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of damnation. This is a bodily resurrection of both groups. Revelation 20:5-6 adds that 'the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished' and that the second death has no power over those who have part in the first resurrection. Revelation 20:14-15 then identifies the second death as the lake of fire: 'And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.' Scripture therefore shows that the lost are raised, but raised to judgment and to the second death.
Les Feldick teaches that the lost are indeed going to be resurrected — a truth he says surprises many people. He points to John's Gospel, chapter 5, where Jesus taught two resurrections: the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. The lost are not in their eternal state as yet; they must come out bodily to appear before the great white throne of Revelation 20. There Christ will judge the lost of all ages, from Cain until the very end of time, and then they will go to their eternal doom bodily with a body fit for the lake of fire — not a body fit for glory. Revelation 20 shows the sequence: the rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years are finished, and only those in the first resurrection are free from the second death. Les is emphatic that the great white throne is strictly for unbelievers and that believers will not come before it.
Les Feldick says many people wrongly assume only believers are resurrected. He points to John's Gospel chapter 5, where Jesus taught the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. Revelation 20:5 then shows the timing of the lost resurrection: 'the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.' Those who share in the first resurrection are believers, and on them the second death has no power.
Les teaches that the resurrection of the lost is a bodily resurrection. The lost will come out bodily to appear before the great white throne, and they will go to their eternal doom with a body fit for the lake of fire — not a body fit for glory. He also explains generally that a resurrected body is not an invisible spirit; it is an eternal body, using the Lord Jesus after His resurrection as the best illustration. God is able to reconstruct a resurrected body even from the dust.
Les is emphatic that the great white throne is strictly for the lost. Christ will judge the lost of all ages, from Cain until the very end of time, and no believers will be there. The lost will be resurrected out of hell and appear bodily at that judgment, at which time the earth and heaven flee away and no place is found for them.
In Revelation 20, John writes that 'blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power.' The second death is defined in Revelation 20:14-15 as the lake of fire, into which everyone not found written in the book of life is cast. For the lost, then, resurrection ends in this second death — an eternal doom in the lake of fire.

The Lost Are Resurrected Bodily
Les explains that the lost will be resurrected bodily to appear before the great white throne and will go to their eternal doom with a body fit for the lake of fire.
Two Resurrections: Just and Unjust
Les emphasizes that Jesus taught two resurrections and that the unbeliever will be resurrected out of hell before the great white throne with a body fit for the lake of fire.
The Timing of the Lost Resurrection
Les shows from Revelation 20 that the rest of the dead — the lost — do not live again until the thousand years are finished, and that the second death has no power over those in the first resurrection.
The Great White Throne Is Only for the Lost
Les clarifies that the great white throne is strictly for unbelievers, that believers will not come before it, and that lost people are resurrected out of hell.
A Resurrected Body, Not a Spirit
Les teaches that a resurrected body is not an invisible, angelic existence but a real body on the order of the Lord Jesus after His resurrection — supporting the idea that the lost receive a real resurrection body.
When Will Old Testament Saints Rise? Daniel 12 Explained:
I do not believe in soul sleep. They are there, but they are not there bodily. They are there in soul and spirit, in the presence of the Lord, somehow or other, waiting for the resurrection day. Now, let's reconstruct. The church-age believers who have been dying now for the last nineteen hundred and some years, as soon as they died, Paul teaches, they went into the presence of the Lord in heaven.
God Reconstructs a Resurrected Body
Les teaches that there are two resurrections — the just and the lost — and that God will reconstruct a resurrected body even from dust, supporting the reality of a bodily resurrection for all.
John 5:28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Jesus directly affirms that both the just and the unjust will be raised from their graves, with the lost raised to damnation.
Revelation 20:5: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Shows that the lost are not raised at the same time as believers, but only after the thousand-year reign.
Revelation 20:6: 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.
Contrasts the blessedness of believers in the first resurrection with the second death that awaits the lost.
Revelation 20:14-15: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Defines the second death as the lake of fire, the final destination of the lost after resurrection and judgment.
1 Corinthians 15:22-23: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Paul teaches that resurrection comes through Christ and that everyone is raised in a particular order, supporting two separate resurrections.
No, according to Les Feldick the great white throne is strictly for the lost. Believers will not come before it, because they already have part in the first resurrection and the second death has no power over them.
The lost are not raised with believers. Revelation 20:5 says the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. Les places their resurrection at the time of the great white throne, after the thousand-year reign.
Yes. Les teaches that the lost are resurrected bodily and appear before the great white throne with a body fit for the lake of fire. It will not be a body fit for glory or heaven.
The second death is the lake of fire, as Revelation 20:14-15 states. Those who are not found written in the book of life are cast into it after judgment. For believers, the second death has no power.
