Since there is only two more resurrections Rev 20:4-6; one for the Christian (1st Res.), and the other for the lost (2nd Res), when do the Christians who died in the tribulation get thier resurrection? If the 1st Res happens before the Trib.


(Rev 20:4-6 NIV) I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second Death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
 
Don't let the numbers 1 and 2 confuse you. Begin with what the bible tells about resurrections and the numbers 1 and 2 will fall into place for you.

The first resurrection is a 'harvest'. A harvest isn't a singular event, it has three phases, firstfruits, main harvest, and gleanings. Jesus Christ is the firstfruits of those who sleep 1Co 15:20 so the first resurrection began when he came out of the tomb. The harvest is completed in Rev. 20:5. The dead tribulation saints are part of the gleanings.
