And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.”​—Rev. 20:12, 13.

This vision clearly depicts the resurrection of the dead, whether from an earthly grave or a watery one​—all the redeemed ones, for whom God accepts the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ. This will constitute the majority of mankind who have ever lived.

The people are not judged en masse, but “individually according to their deeds” of obedience or disobedience to these laws administered by the heavenly judges. The earthly princes will assist the people to learn and obey them.
