Who will be resurrected to paradise?

I like your thinking!

 

If we only come at this from a reward / punishment basis are we really 'getting it'? I think not.

 

The good news needed to be preached right from when the kingdom was announced through Jesus ministry. Jesus is the way. Nobody comes to the father except through him. 

 

The Lords prayer gives us our priority list:

 

1. Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.   

 

This is what and why we need to preach - We are witnesses for Jehovah, after all, and we need to declare his name with every breath. We need to cry out at the injustice of his name being dragged through the dirt.

 

2. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. 

 

This is ultimately how his name will be sanctified, it is the solution. We need to tell everybody that there is a solution! When they accept that he will see where they fit in, heavenly or earthly hope. They will also have a much happier life once they know and will make an answer to Satan in a limited way.

 

3. Give us today our bread for this day;  and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 

And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one...

 

Now our needs. After but actually still tied with the kingdom. How do we even get forgiveness? Only through the Ransom. Which is why nobody can come to Jehovah unless they come through Jesus. So that's why the kingdom was in their midst Luke 17:21

 

In all honesty, looking at the good news, will this message be different after Armageddon?

 

It's the same message until the final test. Only then will we gain everlasting life. Not at Armageddon.

Just one detail, I think that Jesus is the Judge appointed by Jehovah, but to judge the living, not the dead. When we die we enter a condition called Sheol or Hades with hope of salvation or we enter the symbolic Gehenna of no resurrection. I believe that Jesus did not judge the dead who lived before Jesus came to earth or after.  

The Bible says he will judge the living and the dead. That’s mentioned at 2-Timothy 4:1. Jehovah “judges no one at all.” Jesus inherited the right to be judge and king and he deserves that honor.
