He who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven (Mark 3:29).

Will the names of the great multitude of other sheep still be written in the book of life after they survive Armageddon? Yes. (Rev. 7:14) Jesus said that these sheeplike people “will go away into everlasting life.” (Matt. 25:46) But those who survive Armageddon will not immediately receive eternal life. During the Thousand Year Reign, Jesus will “shepherd them and lead them to springs of living waters.” Those who follow Christ’s lead and are ultimately counted faithful to Jehovah will have their names permanently written in the book of life. (Rev. 7:16, 17) The goats, on the other hand, will be destroyed at Armageddon. Jesus said they will “go away into everlasting destruction.”—Matt. 25:46. And the apostle Paul was inspired to say that such people “will suffer the judicial punishment of eternal destruction.” (2 Thess. 1:9; 2 Pet. 2:9) w22.09 16 pars. 7, 8.

THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO BE RESURRECTED

What two groups will be resurrected on Earth, and what makes them different? (Acts 24:15)

The Bible speaks of two groups of people who will be resurrected and given the opportunity to live forever on earth: the “righteous” and the “unrighteous.” (Read Acts 24:15.) The “righteous” are those who faithfully served Jehovah during their lifetime. And the “unrighteous” are those who did not serve Jehovah before they died. In fact, in most cases, their conduct fell far short of God’s righteous standards. Since these two groups are being resurrected, does that mean their names are written in the book of life? To answer this question, let’s look at more details about these two groups separately.

Why will the “righteous” be resurrected, and what honor will some of them have?

The fourth group is the “righteous.” Before they died, their names were already written in the book of life. Were their names erased when they died? No, because they live on in Jehovah’s memory. “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all the righteous are alive.” (Luke 20:38) That means that when the righteous return to life on earth, their names will be written in the book of life—in pencil, so to speak, at first. (Luke 14:14) No doubt some of those resurrected will have the honor of being “princes over all the earth.” (Ps. 45:16)

What will the “unrighteous” need to learn so that their names may be written in the book of life?

Finally, let’s talk about the fifth group: the “unrighteous.” Perhaps because they did not know Jehovah’s laws, they were not living righteous lives before they died. That is why their names are not written in the book of life. But when God resurrects them, he will give them the opportunity to have their names written in that book over time. The unrighteous will need a lot of help. Before they died, some of them did very bad, horrible things. So they will need to learn to live by Jehovah’s righteous standards. To help all these people, God’s Kingdom will carry out the largest educational program in all of human history.Books of Jehovah

Who will teach the unjust? And what will happen to those who refuse to put into practice what they have learned?

Who will teach the unrighteous? Those of the great crowd and the resurrected righteous. What must the unrighteous do if they want their names to be written in the book of life? They will have to become friends with Jehovah and dedicate their lives to him. Jesus and the anointed in their role as judges will be very attentive to the progress made by the unrighteous. (Rev. 20:4) If anyone refuses to accept this help, he will be eliminated, even if he is 100 years old. (Isa. 65:20) Jehovah and Jesus can see into people’s hearts, and they will make sure that no one causes any harm in the new world. (Isa. 11:9; 60:18; 65:25; John 2:25)
