All the passages posted so far including Revelation 20 shows two resurrections, one of the just that happens first and one of the unjust that happens afterward. The only issue is how much time is inbetween the two resurrections. Of all the passages that speak of them, only one says how much time there is inbetween and that's in Revelation 20.
There was no resurrection at the cross. The cross was a death. It was 3 days later that a resurrection happened.
There is no such thing as a resurrection gate.
No, two resurrections.
1. Resurrection of the just.
2. Resurrection of the unjust.
Also, death being cast into the LOF is not a death because death is not alive. The only two deaths are the first death of the human body, then the second death in the LOF.
The whole three day demonstration is reckoned as the opening of the city of light , the glory of our unseen Holy God, the storeroom of glory .
In that way the very essence of God is He is light and not that he can only create it. But we move in it as it works in and with us. .
The garden, cross and tomb make up 3 parts of the one propmised demonstration (Isaiah 53)
What I call resurrection gate would be the same as doors to the new mansion of many rooms, the heavenly city . Christ is the door or gate.
The bride of Christ prepared as a city is called Christians. Previously the father called her Israel or a inward Jew born again of the Spirit of Christ the anointing Holy Spirt of God. our teacher comforter and guide. .
The glory promised in 1 Peter 1:11 is the demonstration of the cross ..The bible calls it when the graves were opened. . . therefore opening the resurrection gate or door .The demonstration was over the promise it produces remains the same.
Today to be absent of the body means a person has entered the ressurection gate .. the gospel lamp unto there feet the well lit path.
Remember gates in the book or chapter of Revelation the last chapter it defines the old testament believers (gates) that were in a temporal holding pen until the veil was rent the three day demonstration.
Just as walls of those sent out (apostles) of the city, the same city prepared as his bride represents Christian as apostles sent with the gospel .The new more befitting name for all the nations, that the father re-named the bride in Acts.
We look back to the opening of that gate they looked ahead by the same Spirit of faith (Christ's) as it is written.
1 Peter 1:10-11 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the
grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what
manner of time the
Spirit of Christ which was
in them did signify, when
it testified
beforehand the
sufferings of
Christ, and the
glory that should follow.
One ressurection. Two deaths.(1) The physicals death of these earthen bodies of death and (2) the letter of the law death itself .It will not enter the knew heavens and earth .
In it there will be no temple, no walls, no night, no sufferings
God will not rise up corrupted bones and judge them . That was tried at the trial of Pope Formosa to encourage purgatory .(sufferings after death)
The second death the letter of the law, the cause of sufferings of hell (living suffering) it will not be part of the new order.
No literal bones . But rather how do we hear with our new gift of faith. How does it open the ingates of our heart and soul? ?
Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
second death.
Revelation 20:14 And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death.
Ezekiel informs us our earthen bodies as dead bones hear the word of the Lord. The dead bones of the dead that will not rise to the first ressurection
has finished
their sufferings
. The lifeless spiritless
dust returns to where it was formed the clay of the field .
Ezekiel 37:3-6 King James Version (KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones,
hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold,
I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live;
and ye shall know that I am the
Lord
Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
