I believe the truth as stated in the Scripture.
You are the one who must spin the Scripture with all your fancy words to fit your belief.

Rev. 20 clearly states that only those in the first resurrection will escape the second death.
If you choose to not belief Scripture, that is between you and God.

and VERSE 4b speaks ONLY OF the saints who will have been martyred / beheaded IN THE LAST HALF of the Tribulation period (because the refused the mark of the beast);
These 2 verses (v.4b and v.5b) speak ONLY of THOSE PARTICULAR saints (and NO OTHER ones)
...so are you saying that you believe that ONLY the "LAST-HALF-TRIB saints" are who will be "resurrected" (and that these two verses--4b and 5b) are making such a point?
--[next point...] Verse 6 is NOT saying anything about "WHEN" other saints (LIKE the "2W' and LIKE the "OT saints"...) are "resurrected," it only states "BLESSED" are those / the one "HAVING A PART IN the resurrection the first [adj]" (it is NOT saying that John also "SAW" that, at this point);
In fact, the "2W' will have been "resurrected" at the "6th Trumpet / 2nd Woe" time-slot... which is WELL PRIOR TO this Rev19 point in the chronology!
...so can your viewpoint EXPLAIN THIS?
*WHY* are the "2W" shown to be resurrected (which MEANS "to stand again [G386]") WELL PRIOR TO the point in time of this Rev19 (Armageddon) time-slot? I've not seen any explanation regarding this, from your perspective.
