I am surprised you did not use the Biblical flood account when it came to god killing people......
The victims of the flood were the children of the daughters of Eve. That means their determination is made at the Great White Throne event as they are the ones that the 'seas' give up. Being in the grave washes away all sins so the GWT event is a time of chastisement and moving on rather than an increase in punishment. Hebrews:12 is an explanation of how 'that day' goes for all the people still left in death.
Re:20:11-15:
And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead,
small and great,
stand before God;
and the books were opened:
and another book was opened,
which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Heb:12:6-9:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers,
then are ye ********,
and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us,
and we gave them reverence:
shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits,
and live?
Heb:12:22:
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb:12:23:
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
which are written in heaven,
and to God the Judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
The people that have died because God said it should happen and then some 'men' carried out the 'deed' seem to be covered in this verse as far as when they will be resurrected. An example of the first group would be Stephen and the two witnesses from Re:11.
Re:20:4:
And I saw thrones,
and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them:
and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,
and for the word of God,
and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The flood in Noah's time and the people (not giants) killed in the exodus wars would be some historical examples. Pharaoh had his heart hardened so he could not surrender to God long before all the plagues were poured out. That would mean all those deaths were because 'of the word of God'.
In the resurrection of the 'whole House of Israel' as defined in Exe:37 would include the whole nations where children were taken and later in life they married into one of the 12 tribes.
This earth is a seed bank for life at the very beginning of the era that is called the 'new earth'. A persons name is entered at the moment of conception and that is who will have their name read for the 1,000 year reign (Re:10) and who will have it read at the GWT event when all the books are opened.
All of Adam and Eve's children exit New Jerusalem at the end of Revelations:22. To speed things up God waters the dust and all the other flesh that was conceived at anytime during the time this earth existed is brought back to life and from there things go back to the progression we are used to.
Lu:12:6:
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Lu:12:7:
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore:
ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Isa:60:22:
A little one shall become a thousand,
and a small one a strong nation:
I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
