A resurrection happened when Jesus resurrected. And that is physical. One more physical resurrection is going to happen at the second coming.
But THE FIRST RESURRECTIOn in Rev 20 is not Jesus' resurrection and is not the second coming. IT IS SALVATION.
I said this many times to you and you are not understanding me. SALVATION is a resurrection. When you got saved you SPIRITUALLY resurrected!
What does htis mean?
Rom 6:13 KJV.. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
What does ALIVE FROM THE DEAD mean to you?
It is resurrection.
Paul said we yield ourselves to God as those who are ALIVE FROM THE DEAD/RESURRECTED. That is not talking about the body rising from a grave. It is SALVATION. THAT is what I say is the FIRST RESURRECTION.
The Book of Revelation says 1000 years. It also says Jesus is a lamb with 7 eyes and 7 horns. IT IS SYMBOLIC. Everything in John's visions in Revelation is symbolic. The 1000 years is symbolic of the church period. After the church period is the second coming when people rise from the graves.
That is incorrect. You are saying that the FIRST RESURRECTION has to be from the graves just because it uses the word RESURRECTION. But salvation is also a resurrection. Whether you agree with first resurrection being salvation or not, do you agree salvation is also a resurrection?

Thank you
Brother at
Revelation 20 speaks about people who lived again ,that wear dead because of the tribulation
they were Saints who actually died because of their faith in Christ
also is after the second coming of the Lord
and is the same event as Paul was speaking
Paul speaks about the bodily resurrection (the hope of all saints)
also at
Rev. 20 speaks about thrones and judgment
we will judge angels too, this is Paul`s teaching too.
we will reign with Christ ,we will be Kings and Priests (dont tell me now that you are king and priest, that is like salvation, we are "resurrected with Christ sitting at His site" but we will be in His throne after ... death and second coming.
Thye Kingdom of God is within us but is not yet here visibly
Visibly will be only after all saints will live again and Christ comes second time to reign in the throne of his father David!
hoops
we forget the earthy Kingdom of the seed of David promised!
Paul spoke about that too! First happens the Resurrection of the saints ,then Christ will reign in the throne of David and after Christ deliver the Kingdom back to God (New Earth and New Heaven).
