John 5:28-29 below shows two resurrection that take place on (The Last Day), the righteous are blessed to be in the (First Resurrection) unto eternal life
I said there were 2 resurrections of humans. But John 5 doesn't speak of them, as you assume.
(First) the resurrection of life
(Second) the resurrection of damnation
Correct. The first one is for believers. The second one is for unbelievers.
(The Last Day Resurrection)
No support from Scripture for this one.

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto
the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto
the resurrection of damnation.[/QUOTE]
A number of translations use "time" instead of "hour".
hóra: a time or period, an hour
Original Word: ὥρα, ας, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: hóra
Phonetic Spelling: (ho'-rah)
Definition: a time or period, an hour
Usage: (a) a definite space of time, a season, (b) an hour, (c) the particular time for anything.
So v.28 is only acknowledging that there is a time when every human being already dead and in the grave will hear Jesus' voice. The verse DOES NOT SAY there is a specific time (hour) when this will occur. If that was true, there would be a horrible conflict with many other verses about when believers and unbelievers will be called from their graves.
(The Last Day Resurrection)
John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
OK, define exactly what "last day" means. Then I'll comment.
(The Last Day Judgement)
John 12:48KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
1. of the natural day, or the interval between sunrise and sunset, as distinguished from and contrasted with night;
2. of the civil day, or the space of twenty-four hours (thus including the night)
3. of the last day of the present age (see αἰών, 3), the day in which Christ will return from heaven, raise the dead, hold the final judgment, and perfect his kingdom, the following expressions are used:
If you demand a literal day is being referred to, that's your business.
But since there are many verses that will conflict with a literal day here, I am sure #3 is the meaning in John 12.
When Jesus returns at the Second Advent, that WILL BE the LAST DAY of the present age.
But Scripture is clear there are more days coming. 1,000 years of days, to be exact. And then an endless eternity, where there will be no more days.
