The word "first resurrection" which misleads many

There is no 3rd resurrection. There is the first, and then the last one. Both found in Rev 20.

One of those two is also found in Revelation 11:18, based on John 5:27-30.

The other one is found in John 5:24.

I agree, since there are only two resurrections found in John chapter 5.

The first resurrection found in John chapter 5 is in verse 24 and occurs when a person is changed from death to life, through faith in the Messiah.

The second resurrection found in John chapter 5 is in verses 27-30, which is the bodily resurrection of "all" the dead and their judgment by Christ.

The timing of the event in John 5:27-30 is found near the time of the 7th trumpet(the last trumpet in the Bible at Revelation 11:15), in Revelation 11:18.

Rev 11:18　 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."　


Many attempt to ignore the time of the judgment of the dead in the verse above, because it destroys their interpretation of Revelation chapter 20.

If we could all understand that the Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, much of this confusion could be avoided.

baberean2,

1. You are a little confused.
Revelation 11:15-18 is written in the time of the 7th angel but not fulfilled till the time of the dead being judged is not till the end of the tribulation Revelation 20:5 and the rewards of the saints is sometime during the 7th trumpet or before the time antipated. So the latest would be before all the saints come out of Heaven to go to Armageddon.

2. The seals, trumpets and vials are consecutive.

3. The 7 trumpet is not the last Trump that sounds at the rapture.
This trumpet sounds in the middle of the week at least 3.5 years after the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation.
This is clear from the fact that there is only a period 42 months Revelation 11:2; 13:5, 1260 days Revelation 11:3; 12:6 or 3.5 years Revelation 12:14 from the blowing of the 7th trumpet to the end of the week. This is why the seals and trumpets are fulfilled in the first 3.5 years. Read Dake's God's Plan For Man Pg. 813 3rd paragraph.

4. John 4 is a spiritual resurrection of salvation.
The connection to the 1st first
physical resurrection is for saints.
The hour is coming and is now started with redemption at the cross where the plan of redemption concerning salvation of the soul was completed v 25 in reference to verse 24, spiritually and physically 27:52-53.
The rapture of the church was a mystery in the Old Testament 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 just like the the Jews and Gentiles in one body alike was a mystery Ephesians 3:3-6.
Jews only understood a last day resurrection John11:24.
Revelation 11:12 the Two Witnesses are resurrected in the middle of the week or towards the end depending on when you think the time of their ministry begins.
The 144,000 are raptured in the days of the 7th trumpet as the Manchild Revelation 12:5, 13, 14:1-5.
The last group to be resurrected in the tribulation is Revelation 15:1-2. These are the same ones as stated in Revelation 20:4.

5. Th First Resurrection is the completion of all believers being resurrected.
The Second Resurrection is 1000 years later for all the sinners from Adam on to the last rebellion Revelation 20:7-9; 10-15.

The 7 trumpet is not the last Trump

I thought you always interpreted the Bible "literally" and now you are saying that the 7th trumpet is not the last trumpet in the Bible.

There is no 8th trumpet in the Book of Revelation.

Then you claim that Revelation 11:18 cannot be the time of the judgment of the dead, even though that is exactly what the text says.

Rev 11:18　 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."　



Joh 5:27　 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.　

Joh 5:28　 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice　

Joh 5:29　 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.　


Joh 5:30　 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

baberean2,

1. It is literal that that the seal, trumpets, and vials are consecutive not side by side etc.
All 7 seals happen before the trumpets begin to sound and the trumpets end the vials start and begin.

2. The 1st 6 seals are opened at the beginning of the tribulation Revelation 6.
Some think that this an overall panoramic view of the whole tribulation especially because of the signs at the end of the chapter that are signs of the Day of the Lord.
The 7th Trumpet is seen as the Day of the Lord because he takes over the Kingdoms of this world and this is true at Armageddon.
The 7th vial is Armageddon.
This is more of an interpretation called chasms like piecing a puzzle together.

3. Now Revelation 6:16-17 is the Wrath of the lamb which is separate from the Wrath of God.
Why?
a). Revelation 6:9-11; the 5th seal are the souls under the altar that are told to wait for their brethren to be killed as they were.
They were martyrs in the first half of the tribulation but there brethren are the blessed dead right before the Wrath of God Revelation 14:13;15:1-2.
b). The Wrath of the lamb is in the first half of the tribulation because the Lamb is in Heaven and the whole of Revelation 6 is about the Antichrist coming to power.
C). The Wrath of God is at the end of the tribulation with the vials and it was only upon the beast kingdom worshippers Revelation 15:1; 16:1-2.
D). The last martyrs were in Revelation 15:1-3 which are the blessed dead 14:13 and Revelation 20:4.
E). The First Resurrection takes place before the 7 vials Revelation 15 and 16 show the context of this.

4. The 7th Trumpet are specific judgements and are not the last Trump of the mystery of the rapture for the church in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52.
It is also not the last Trump for the Day of the Lord because it is a proclamation in the middle of the tribulation not a fulfillment and the Day of the Lord was never a mystery Job 20:28-29; Isaiah 13:4-6; 9-11; 19:16-17; 27:1 etc.

5. Back in Revelation 10:7 says; But in the days of the voice of the 7th angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished.
The Day of the Lord which as never a mystery as I have already given scriptures for.
Revelation 12 is also a part of the days of the 7th trumpet.
Why? Because the Dragon is Satan and misses the Manchild (144,000) who are raptured Revelation 12:5,13; 14:1-5.
Satan loses the war in Heaven and ceases to be the accuser of the brethren Revelation 12:7-10. This is the mystery of God from 10:7.
Satan misses the woman as she is preserved in the wilderness v14 and misses the remnant of her seed v17.
Revelation 13:2 Satan gives his power, seat, and authority to the beast who is the Antichrist which happens in the middle of the tribulation 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Abomination of Desolation Revelation 13 Antichrist kingdom.
So the 7th angel sounding is literal along down to 19. It is a proclamation of the Day of the Lord not fulfillment at that exact time because that happens at the Day of the Lord in the 7th vial Revelation 16:16.
As far as rewards of the saints is in Heaven before they come out of Heaven on the Day of the Lord for they shoulders destroy them which destroy the earth Revelation 11:18.

6. The resurrection will happen at the appropriate hour.
I know you want to believe this means that all will be resurrected, both good and bad at the same time maybe but they are a 1000 years apart. Jerry kelso

What did Jesus say, Jerry?

Mat 25:31　 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.　

Mat 25:32　 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.　

Mat 25:33　 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.　

Mat 25:34　 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:　



Mat 25:41　 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:　



Mat 25:45　 Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'　

Mat 25:46　 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

baberean2,

1. This is the judgement of the nations and has nothing to do with the martyrs in the First Resurrection of Revelation 20:4 or the timing. It also has nothing to do with the Second death since that is at the end of the 1000 year reign.
The judgement of nations starts at beginning when the KoH is set up.
You need to pay attention to the full context and who it's talking about and the proper time factor.
There's no mention of a resurrection.
You need to quit going by your perception of what it sounds like or looks like to you and learn proper hermeneutics. Jerry kelso

baberean2,

1. You know you are not being truthful about the whole context of the subject.

2. The correct Greek word for kingdom is Basileia, meaning a realm, or region governed by a king.
The KoH term is only found in Matthew because it presents Christ as Jehovah's king.
The term KoH literally means kingdom from the Heavens.
The location of the KoH is earth and the sovereignty of the King comes from Heaven where he is John 18:36. To this end he was born and this was his first subject of his ministry Matthew 3:2; 4:17.
You can read this in Dake's God's Plan For Man and even the Jewish people understand about the distinctions of the KoH and the KoG.

3. There are parallel passages such as Matthew 11:11 with Luke 7:28 and Matthew 13 with Mark 8; Luke 8 and 13.
The KoH is the physical earthly sphere of the universal KoG.
In this respect they have almost everything in common and in an earthly sense hat is said about the KoH could also be spoken of the KoG. Dake once again got it right and agrees with the Jews.

4. The KoH has spiritual things contained in it and the parables show this.
However, the Jews were never told to seek the KoH but were told to seek the KoG Matthew 6:33; Luke 12:31.

5. The whole purpose in the KoH is to put down all sin and rebellion and death down once and for all so the son can give the KoH back to the Father so God can be all in all which means the earthly sphere of the KoH will be in harmony with the universal KoG.
We know this from 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.

6. KoH has Messiah as King; KoG has God as its King.

7. The KoH is from Heaven, under Heaven, before it becomes submerged into the KoG forever
John 18:28:37; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, Revelation 19:11-20:10.
The KoG is in Heaven and over the earth during the millennium before it comes down and engulfs earthly KoH forever 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 21:3; 22:5, Daniel 2:44-45; 7:13-14,18.
The KoH is limited in scope 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 5:10.
The KoG is unlimited in scope Psalms 103:19; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 4:11:5:11.
The KoH is political in its sphere Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 7:13-14, 18.
The KoG is moral and spiritual in its sphere Romans 14:17 John 3:5; 1 Corinthians 4:20.
The KoH is Jewish and exclusive in its character Isaiah 9:6-7; Luke 1:32-35; 2 Samuel 7:1-29; Ezekiel 43:7.
The KoG is universal and inclusive in its character 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Psalm 103:19; Colossians 1:10-18; Revelation 4:11.
He goes on with other differences that are important to understand the whole of the subject. It is found on pgs. 559-560.
He has a whole chapter on the KoH and the KoG and the KoH parables.

8. The point is you can't throw the baby out with the bath water and that is what you do when you throw out the distinctions between the KoH and the KoG.
The historical and dispensation all context of the KoH and the KoG message in Jesus day was only to the Jews for the Gentiles had no covenant unless they were proselyted into Judaism and lived under the Mosaic law which was the Old Covenant.
The church has to understand this before they can understand what it means for them under the NC which was built on better promises otherwise that is why half the church stumbles around under the spirit of the law among other things.
The church era is a different era than the nation of Israel from the Old Covenant and though Israel rejected the KoH and the KoG offer they will accept it in the time of Jacob's trouble under the New Covenant and you know it and will be at the head of the nations Isaiah 2:2-4 and Jerusalem will be the capital of the earth and David will be Israel's King etc.
The church will also have its place in the KoH. We are being trained now through our suffering as Christians 2 Timothy 2:12.
Israel has to be purged as a nation Daniel 9:24-27 in the time of Jacob's trouble Matthew 24:15-21.
Quit being so one dimensional and rightly divide the word and understand the purpose and destiny of God's redemptive plan and his divine order. Jerry kelso

1. True dispensationalists do not believe that the law could receive salvation for only the Blood of Christ could save Matthew 26:28 not the blood of bulls and goats Hebrews 9:9-10 for the sins of the first Testament transgressions Hebrews 9:15.

2. Zachariah and Elizabeth were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless Luke 1:5-6.
So it not true that a person could not keep the law at all.

3. Israel and works and sacrifices are misunderstood in the tribulation and true dispensationalists know they are saved by the New Covenant of the blood of Christ for they overcome by the blood of the lamb Revelation 12:11.

baberean2,

1. Grace has been in every age.

2. The dispensation of Grace is in the church age before we are raptured before the tribulation.

3. Grace will still be in the tribulation Revelation 12:10 and the Kingdom age as well for there will be those lost even though they abide by the civil law.
Joel 2 the Spirit will be poured out on all flesh.

4. One has to be drawn by the Holy Spirit who will put them in the body of Christ 1 Cor12:13 who forgives all sin and for them to have the gifts of the spirit.
So grace will still be in the tribulation and the kingdom both.
The age of grace could be applied to every age grace through faith in a blood sacrifice even though with a different context as through types and shadows and blood of bulls and goats though temporary.

5. From the time of the cross salvation comes only through the finished work of Christ including the tribulation and the millennial KoH. Understand proper context. Jerry kelso

baberean2,

1. I already told you the age of grace is as a dispensation based on John 1:16-17.
And of his fullness have we all received and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

2. The law was given by Moses but that doesn't mean there was no grace in the age of law.
Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ but that doesn't mean there is no law in the age of grace.

3. Joel 2:32 talks about Israel in the tribulation calling upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered in Mt. Zion and Jerusalem as the Lord hath said and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Joel is prophetic to the restoration of the kingdom Joel 2:25-27.

4. Isaiah 66:19; there will be those who will not know Christ has come on the day of the Lord for they will not have heard of Christ Fame, nor seen his glory. So Israel will declare Christ glory among the Gentiles for they need to be saved.

5. Deuteronomy 28:13 Israel will be the head and not the tail.
Israel will be the chief nation and the nation that will never serve her will perish Isaiah 60:12.
The nations that survive are the ones that are kept in subjection by the Iron rule of Christ Psalm 2:6-9.
This is Larkin and he goes on to say that the peace among the nations in the kingdom will be more superficial than real.
He calls it a feigned obedience, more the result of fear than of love.
This is why their will be a rebellion after the 1000 years when Satan will be loosed for a season Revelation 20:8-9. Larkins "Dispensational Truth" pg 96.
I have told you this before in other posts.

6. The age of Grace when the Church is raptured happens before the tribulation and then the tribulation begins which is 7 years before the second advent.

7. You don't believe this because you don't believe in a pre-trib rapture.
Grace and law are eternal in its proper perspective and Larkin and Dake and Scofield and Darby understood this.
Plain statements have context and a motive. Jerry kelso

Four Forms of the Gospel from the Scofield Reference Bible...

The one at the end of the trib is not of "grace", according to Scofield.

Revelation 14:6

gospel
Gospel. This great theme may be summarized as follows:
I. In itself, the word Gospel means good news.
II. Four forms of the Gospel are to be distinguished:
(1) The Gospel of the kingdom. This is the good news that God purposes to set up on the earth, in fulfilment of the Davidic Covenant: (2Sa_7:16): a kingdom, political, spiritual, Israelitish, universal, over which God's Son, David's heir, shall be King, and which shall be, for one thousand years, the manifestation of the righteousness of God in human affairs.

(See Scofield) - (Mat_3:2).

Two preachings of this Gospel are mentioned, one past, beginning with the ministry of John the Baptist, continued by our Lord and His disciples, and ending with the Jewish rejection of the King. The other is yet future (Mat_24:14) during the great tribulation, and immediately preceding the coming of the King in glory.

(2) The Gospel of the grace of God. This is the good news that Jesus Christ, the rejected King, has died on the cross for the sins of the world, that He was raised from the dead for our justification, and that, by Him, all that believe are justified from all things. This form of the Gospel is described in many ways. It is the Gospel...
"of God" (Rom_1:1) because it originates in His love;
"of Christ" (2Co_10:14) because it flows from His sacrifice, and because He is the alone Object of Gospel faith;
of the "grace of God" (Act_20:24) because it saves those whom the law curses;
of "the glory"; (1Ti_1:11); (2Co_4:4) because it concerns Him who is in the glory, and who is bringing the many sons to glory; (Heb_2:10);
of "our salvation" (Eph_1:13) because it is the "power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth"; (Rom_1:16);
of "the uncircumcision" (Gal_2:7) because it saves wholly apart from forms and ordinances of "peace" (Eph_6:15) because through Christ it makes peace between the sinner and God, and imparts inward peace.

(3) The everlasting Gospel. (Rev_14:6). This is to be preached to the earth-dwellers at the very end of the great tribulation and immediately preceding the judgment of the nations (Mat_15:31). It is neither the Gospel of the kingdom, nor of grace. Though its burden is judgment, not salvation, it is good news to Israel and to those who, during the tribulation, have been saved; (Rev_7:9-14); (Luk_21:28); (Psa_96:11-13); (Isa_35:4-10).

(4) That which Paul calls, "my Gospel" (Rom_2:16). This is the Gospel of the grace of God in its fullest development, but includes the revelation of the result of that Gospel in the outcalling of the church, her relationships, position, privileges, and responsibility. It is the distinctive truth of Ephesians and Colossians, but interpenetrates all of Paul's writings.

III. There is "another Gospel" (Gal_1:6); (2Co_11:4) "which is not another," but a perversion of the Gospel of the grace of God, against which we are warned. It has many seductive forms, but the test is one -- it invariably denies the sufficiency of grace alone to save, keep, and perfect, and mingles with grace some kind of human merit. In Galatia it was law, in Colosse fanaticism (Col_2:18); etc. In any form, its teachers lie under the awful anathema of God.
