Lesson 7: The Resurrection of the Dead
The resurrection of the dead is a single, universal, bodily, and final act of Christ’s authority in which every person will rise at His voice—some to life, and the rest to judgment.

What is Hades? This lesson shows from Scripture that Hades is the temporary realm of the dead, not the final lake of fire, not purgatory, and not the end of consciousness. The dead remain conscious, their condition is fixed, the resurrection is still future, and judgment still lies ahead. Christ entered Hades but was not abandoned there. Therefore men must stop speaking loosely about death and get right with God now.
