There is only one resurrection for the saved.
Acts 24:15 shows one for the saved and one for the unsaved.
Matt 22:30, Luke 14:14 and 1 Cor 15:23 all speak of the resurrection of the saved in the SINGULAR.
And 2 Thess 2:1 and 1 Cor 15:23 and Rev 20:5 all show that singular resurrection occurring at the end of the Trib "when He comes".
Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
THIS 'A' RESURRECTION IS ALREADY 2 RESURRECTIONS. Maybe it is 2 billion resurrections.
from the Greek - a hope having in God which also
they themselves await a resurrection there is about to be of the just both and of the unjust
Each 'they them self' is a resurrection. Just if good, unjust if bad. Doesn't say when, doesn't say all at the same time, doesn't say all together. Doesn't say on the last day.
SINCE there is no 'time' set, each person having a resurrection WOULD ALSO BE COVERED UNDER THIS VERSE. Since everyone is awaiting death, then everyone is also awaiting a resurrection.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For
in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching
the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
GOD being the God of the living AND being the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob MEANS THEY CAN'T BE ASLEEP OR DEAD.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE GOD THE GOD OF THE DEAD.
Luke 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Again, NO TIME IS GIVEN, it is an assumption just as all the others are. THIS ONE is even more like immediate resurrection because it is speaking of eating bread in the kingdom of GOD.
Luke 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37
Now that the dead are raised,
even Moses shewed at the bush,
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For He
is not a God of the dead, but of the living:
for all live unto Him.
THIS very CLEARLY SHOWS immediate resurrection AGAIN. NOW THAT THE DEAD ARE RAISED. HERE WE HAVE A TIME. AND THAT TIME IS NOW. PRESENT. PAST.
1Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead
, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ:
whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF CHRIST IS THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ALL THE SAVED OR
IS THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ONLY THOSE WHO SLEPT?
IF Christ is the firstfruits of them who slept
then THEM WHO SLEPT WOULD BE THE DEAD WHO RISE WHEN CHRIST RISES.
Anyone EVER notice that the graves were OPENED WHEN HE BREATHED HIS LAST BREATH AND DIDN'T WAIT (PRAISE YE THE LORD) TILL HE ROSE 3 DAYS LATER? Never mind, we have to get through this other stuff first.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
TIME PRESENTED IN THIS VERSE IS NOW/PRESENTLY for Christ and the firstfruits AS THE SAVED DIE/rise,
and at His coming, when the alive and remaining are changed.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
TIME- 2ND ADVENT
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
