What verse that mentions gleanings indicates a separate resurrection of the saved, in your view? Thanks.
There is no verse in Rev 20 that mentions a "gleaning". I need to see a verse where the word is related to the resurrecton. All you're doing is assigning the word to something in Rev 20. In fact, the singular resurrection of believers is specifically mentioned in 20:5 and is called the FIRST resurrection. There will be another one; for unbelievers at the end of the 1,000 year reign.
If the Bible does NOT use "gleanings" in relation to the believer's resurrection, that's because there isn't a gleaning.
And the Bible DOES teach that there will be only one resurrection of believers, as seen in these verses:
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.
These verses all refer to a singular resurrection.
1 Cor 15:23 - But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
This verse still shows only one for believers. Jesus received a glorified body before anyone else, hence that resurrection is "firstfruits", and then "when He comes", a singular event, "those who belong to Him", obviously meaning ALL believers.
Also, it was the resurrection of Jesus that makes possible the singular resurrection of all believers.
If Jesus wasn't resurrected, then NO ONE else would be either. 1 Cor 15 (all of it).
