Not sure what is meant by the ^ above ^

Except for those committing the unforgivable sin - Matthew 12:32; Hebrews 6:4-6, the dead will have a resurrection.
Jesus has the keys to unlock the grave - Revelation 1:18
Acts 24:15 uses the ' future tense ' that there ' is going to be ' a resurrection...
That future resurrection time will take place during Jesus' millennium-long day of governing over Earth.
Some, those who are called to heaven, have a first or earlier resurrection - Revelation 20:6; 5:9-10; 2:10
Whereas, the majority of mankind will have a happy-and-healthy physical resurrection back to life on Earth - John 3:13
Resurrection ' day ' will be a beginning for the physically resurrected dead to have the opportunity to live forever on Earth.
Whereas, the living figurative humble ' sheep ' of Matthew 25:31-33,37 will have a beginning for everlasting life on a beautiful paradisical Earth when Jesus begins his 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth.

I can agree with that. As I said numerous times, there are many ways to know God. Haven't you ever been studying scripture and just go, Wow(!)?

Agreed! A sunset, the mountains, the ocean, the stars, the birth of a baby, a beautiful song, the tears of a repentant sinner, the baptism of a new believer...

Nothing is eternal, having no beginning or end.
