from
Wikipedia
The Seventh-day Adventist Church, teaches that the first death, or death brought about by living on a planet with sinful conditions ( sickness, old age, accident, etc.
Like Jehovah's Witnesses, Adventists use key phrases from the Bible, such as " For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward ; for the memory of them is forgotten " ( Eccl.
Adventists believe God will grant eternal life to the redeemed who are resurrected at Jesus ' second coming.
" When Jesus the Christ, who is the Word and the Bread of Life, comes a second time, the righteous will be raised incorruptible and will be taken in the clouds to meet their Lord.
The righteous will live in heaven for a thousand years ( the millennium ) where they will sit with God in judgment over the unredeemed and the fallen angels.
During the time the redeemed are in heaven, the Earth will be devoid of human and animal inhabitation.
The second resurrection is of the unrighteous, when Jesus brings the New Jerusalem down from heaven to relocate to Earth.
Satan and his angels will convince the unrighteous to surround the city, but hell fire and brimstone will fall from heaven and consume them, thus cleansing Earth of all sin.
On the new earth God will provide an eternal home for all the redeemed and a perfect environment for everlasting life, where Eden will be restored.
