How many realized
that there will be more than one resurrection?
I've read this before but it never really sunk in. I thought there would simply be one great big
resurrection. Revelation says it ain't
so.
Revelation 20:4-6(NKJV)
And I saw thrones,
and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded
for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the
beast or his image, and had not received his
mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with
Christ for a thousand years.
But the rest of the
dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and
holy is he who has part in the
first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
So if that is the
"first" resurrection that indicates there will be more.
