Right. Since there will be just TWO resurrections, one for the saved and one for the unsaved, the phrase "the hour is coming" refers to the specific time of EACH resurrection.
It would be a mistake to think that John was saying that both resurrections will occur at the same hour. Can't happen if you believe the verses that show when the FIRST resurrection will occur (Rev 20:5) and makes reference to the next one, which is 1,000 years later.
With pleasure.
Matt 22:30 - At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Luke 14:14 - and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Acts 24:15 - and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
1 Cor 15:23 - But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
In Matt and Luke, Jesus spoke of resurrection in the singular "the".
Paul taught there will be two resurrections in Acts 24:15, one for the saved and one for the unsaved.
Paul taught that all believers will be resurrected "when He comes". This is the Second Advent.
No, it isn't. There is just ONE resurrection when all believers will be given a glorified body. 1 Thess 4, 1 Cor 15:52,53.
Many people have been brought back to life: Lazarus, widow's son, many at the crucifixion, Dorcas, Euyticus etc. But NONE of these people received a resurrection body. They were revived, not resurrected in the sense of when a believer receives a glorified body.
According to Acts 26:23, Jesus was the first human to receive a glorified body. Then, "when He comes", ALL believers (those who belong to Him) will receive theirs.
No exceptions. Not even the 2 Witnesses will be resurrected after 3.5 days. They will rise to heaven, but in their physical bodies.

If you can post Scriptures stating what you believe i will accept that. To my understanding Jesus is complete and clear in His Words.
Matt 22:30 - At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Luke 14:14 - and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

I will ask this with Scripture :
Eph_2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; we have been quickened made live is that not a resurrection?
Eph_2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; we have been quickened made live is that not a resurrection?
