2 Timothy 2:18 "SOME SAYING RESURRECTION ALREADY BECAME"
I was translating/studying on those 2 witnesses in Revelation 11 and something just stood out at me concerning the word "stand<2476" and remembered that is also the word used in the word for "resurrection<2476>" which literally means to "stand up", such as from a laying down or sitting position.
Could it be possible/plausible that those 2 witnesses could be symbolizing those of the 1st resurrection in Revelation 20?
I put some verses up from Revelation that use #2476, along with the Greek.
Revelation 11:11
And after the three days and a half,
a spirit of life out of the GOD entered into Them,
and They stand<esthsan 2476> upon their feet.
And great fear fell upon those beholding them,
Revelation 20:
5 The rest of the dead not live until should be being finished the thousand years,
This the First Resurrection<ἀνάστασις/ana-stasiV 386>
6 Happy/blessed and holy the one having part<3313> in the first Resurrection<ἀναστάσει ana-stasei 386>,
Revelation 14:1
And I saw and behold!
a Lambkin standing<esthkos 2476> upon the mount Sion,
and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads;
Revelation 15:2
and I saw as a glassy<5193>sea having been mingled to fire,
and those conquering>3528> out of the beast, and out of his image<1504>, and out of the number of it's name,
standing<ἑστῶτας/estwtaV 2476> upon the glassy sea, having harps/lyres of Lord the God,
Revelation 20:12
and I saw the dead, the great<3173> and the small<3398>, standing<ἑστῶτας/estwtaV 2476> before *God[*throne],
and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is being of the life,
and were judged the dead out of the having been written in the scrolls according to their works

[This is a sort of a off-shoot of the above thread concerning the resurrection]Why would Paul have to say this to his followers concerning some saying the resurrection has already happened?
[which doesn't appear to occur until Revelation 20:5 "the first resurrection"?]

Some greek resources I use:Revelation 20:
1 And I saw a Messenger descending<2597> out of the heaven, having the Key of the Abyss, and a great Chain<254> upon His hand.
2 And He seizes<2902> the Dragon, the serpent, the ancient one<744> who is being a devil and satan/adversary, and bounds<1210> him a thousand years.
3 And casts him into the Abyss, and locks<2808> and seals over Him,
that no he should be deceiving<4105> the Nations<1484> should be being finished<5055> the thousand years.
After these, is binding<1163> to be loosed<3089> Him for a little<3398> time<5550>.
4 And I saw thrones, and they are seated<2653> upon them, and judgment<2917> was given to them,
and the souls of those having been beheaded<3990> because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of the GOD,
and those not worship the beast, nor the image of it,
and not got the mark upon the forehead<3359>
and upon their hand.
And they live and reign with the Christ a thousand years.
