Short answer: Yes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discussion: When Jesus took Adam’s death penalty upon Himself, every single person was guaranteed a resurrection<\/strong>. Romans 5:18 (NIV), “just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people<\/strong>.” \u200b<\/p>\n

Again, John 5:28, “…the hour is coming in which all <\/strong>that are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth<\/strong>.”\u200b<\/p>\n

In Christ’s kingdom, mankind will be resurrected on earth, while faithful Christians will be rewarded with a divine body in heaven. 2 Peter 1:4 (NLT), “These are the promises that enable you (Christians<\/em>) to share his divine nature<\/strong> and escape the world’s corruption.”\u200b<\/p>\n

Will people on Earth recognize themselves and others when they return from the grave? Yes! They will be resurrected with their own restored, natural bodies (not sickly nor disfigured bodies). Isaiah 35:5-6 (NIV), “Then will the eyes<\/strong> of the blind be opened<\/strong> and the ears of the deaf unstopped<\/strong>. Then will the lame leap<\/strong> like a deer, and the mute tongue shout<\/strong> for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.”\u200b<\/p>\n

During this same 1,000 year period of Christ’s reign, people will notice<\/strong> that godly Christians are not to be found on earth<\/strong>. These are those who will receive a heavenly resurrection and be born in Zion (heaven). Psalm 87:2-3, 5-6 (NIV), “The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are said of you, city of God…Indeed, of Zion it will be said, ‘This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her<\/strong>.’ The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: ‘This one was born in Zion<\/strong>.’ ”\u200b<\/p>\n
