The "First Resurrection" seen in Revelation 20:5 will take place on the last day, with all the righteous that will obtain the immortal glorified body, John 6:40Actually scripture uses the word in relationship to the spiritual resurrection in Revelation 20.
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.
Only in your mind. Can't be teaching something I don't believe, that's ludicrous. I am pretty much anti-Catholic. I don't have anything against Catholics personally though, just their unbiblical doctrines. Which BTW, Amil is apparently one of their main doctrines.
If I'm not mistaken, don't you too place the thousand years after the 2nd coming? If yes, and that the rest of the dead are raised at the 2nd coming, where do the rest of the dead hang out during the thousand years? If they are not still in their graves, and that none of them are yet in the lake of fire, where are they then, meaning physically?
Jesus Christ Taught in Matthew 25:31-46 That At His Second Coming, The Final Judgment, Eternal Life, Eternal Kingdom Takes Place.
"No Earthly Millennial Kingdom Of 1000 Years To Follow".
Matthew 25:31-46
Verses 31-32 Jesus returns wth the angels, the nations are gathered before the throne for judgment.
Verse 34 The eternal kingdom is presented to the righteous.
Verse 41 The wicked are judged to the eternal lake of fire.
Verse 46 the righteous obtain eternal life, and enter the eternal kingdom in verse 34
Eternity Has Started, For Ever And Ever
The unjust/wicked will not be partaking in the eternal kingdom as seen in Ezekiel 47:12 & Revelation 22:1-5, same tree and river of life.
Anyone eating from the tree of life will live eternally Genesis 3:22-24
The unjust/wicked will not be partaking in any part of the glory found in the eternal kingdom.
Yes, the thousand years begins at His second coming.
Firstly, OT prophecy speaks of some souls (like the kings, might men, etc.) gathered and shut up in the prison pit with Satan and God visiting them later (Isaiah 24:20-23).
After Jesus returns, the concept of flesh death is over. That means the idea of flesh death cannot be applied to the "dead" of Rev.20:5, but only the same concept of spiritual death which Jesus showed us in His parables about men alive on earth but inside are dead men's bones (Matt.23:27).
One's soul being spiritually dead is much more worse than flesh dead, because everyone will be raised from the dead to face judgment. It's the condition of the soul that matters, and those "dead" of Rev.20 mean dead souls, not dead bodies in the ground.
John 5:28-29 means exactly as it's written, both... resurrection types occur at the same time of Jesus' 2nd coming. And the nations without Christ still alive at His coming are also changed at the twinkling of eye, the veil of this flesh age removed for everyone, which is from Isaiah 25 where Apostle Paul was pulling from about death being swallowed up. It means the nations without Christ will be in the spiritual body too. There is not going to be one group in resurrection bodies walking around on earth while another group is still in their flesh bodies. And Rev.5 does declare Christ's elect will reign "on the earth", which is what Rev.22:14-15 is showing also.
Actually scripture uses the word in relationship to the spiritual resurrection in Revelation 20.
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.
The Revelation 22:14-15 events is Millennium timing, the timing of Ezekiel 40-47. The wicked are shown outside... the gates of the holy city in Rev.22.
When you can reasonably explain to me how on earth atheists, witches, satan worshipers, so on and so on, too, answer Jesus like indicated per verse 44, maybe then I might reconsider things.
The terms "day of the Lord" when He returns "as a thief", connect the following passages and reveals the timing of the event.
In the first passage below the words "But" and "we" and "sleep" show that chapter 4 is connected to chapter 5. The timing of the event at the end of chapter 4 is revealed at the beginning of chapter 5.
Dave you teach of three groups in the eternal state, This is the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory.
You can deny you believe it, but you sure are teaching it
Matthew 25:31-46
1.) Sheep/Righteous
2.) Goats/Intermediate State
3.) Wicked/Satanist, Witches, Atheist
You state the wicked will be outside the gate in the eternal kingdom, Revelation 22:15?The Revelation 22:14-15 events is Millennium timing, the timing of Ezekiel 40-47. The wicked are shown outside... the gates of the holy city in Rev.22.
Rev 5 doesn't say anything about the thousand years, does it? I believe that to be a reference to the new earth because Rev 22 tells us that the righteous will reign on the new earth.
I don't know why you think I'm confused about the spiritual body.
A third resurrection? During the thousand years? I think you're making this far too complicated.
I don't think we really know, or can really understand, what the second death is. It's a bit of a mystery. All I know is, I don't want it.
You're right. The spiritual body does not mean automatic salvation.
There is nothing in the text about those who are without Christ receiving a glorified body as the body that is corruptible is without Christ only those with Christ get the incorruptible bodyIt means the nations without Christ will be in the spiritual body too. There is not going to be one group in resurrection bodies walking around on earth while another group is still in their flesh bodies.
Ezekiel 47:12 & Revelation 22:1-5 is the very same eternal kingdom, with the same river and tree of life, that produces fruit every month, and leaves are for healing.
Its your private interpretation that says they are different places and time, "They Are The Same Place And Time" Eternity.............
The unjust/wicked will not be partaking in the eternal kingdom as seen in Ezekiel 47:12 & Revelation 22:1-5, same tree and river of life.
Anyone eating from the tree of life will live eternally Genesis 3:22-24
The unjust/wicked will not be partaking in any part of the glory found in the eternal kingdom.
If Paul hadn't have said that "For He must reign, till..." your interpretation would be right that the new heavens and new earth happens at Christ's coming.
Are you saying that the resurrection of both the just and the unjust is the first resurrection? How is that possible when that resurrection takes place on "the last day"?1. Christ's return: both just and the unjust resurrected to a spiritual body on that day. Everyone on earth... are changed to the spiritual body on that day. Christ's elect who will reign with Him are the "first resurrection" and never subject to the "second death".
When Jesus comes, death is swallowed up in victory and he hands over the kingdom to God the father. (1 Cor 15). Therefore his return can not happen at the start of the thousand years, only at the end because he reigns until death is swallowed up. Plus Acts 3:21 tells us that he stays in heaven until the new earth, so that settles that.3. Jesus and His elect reign over the resurrected nations on earth. That's right. No one is in a flesh body any longer. But there's still dead souls of the unjust present.
You state the wicked will be outside the gate in the eternal kingdom, Revelation 22:15?
Your 100% correct, as Isaiah 66:24 clearly teaches, they will be burning outside the gates in the "Eternal Lake Of Fire"
I think you need to read Isaiah 66:24 to understand the wicked outside the gates in Revelation 22:15, are burning in the "Eternal Lake Of Fire"i think you need to read that Rev.22:14-15 Scripture again. And maybe the Ezek.44 chapter also, since it's Millennium timing also.
That's not what the book says. It says the thousand years ends at his second coming.Yes, the thousand years begins at His second coming.
