   The resurrection of the wicked, at the time of Jesus' return.
   The resurrection of the righteous, after the millennium.
   The resurrection of the wicked, after the millennium.

3. The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians describes another event which will take place before the beginning of the millennium: «The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be incorruptible, and we shall be . For this must put on incorruption, and this must put on immortality.»

4. According to the Second Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians, what will happen to «those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ», at the time of Jesus' return?
