Now that I've FIXED the dishonesty, can you finally ADMIT that the resurrection of the martyrs is "the FIRST resurrection"?


When you stop before v.5, sure, you'd think so.


There are only 2 total. One for the saved and one for the unsaved. Acts 24:15 actually says so clearly. Have you read it yet?


huh? So you really DON'T know "when He comes"?? When do you think the Second coming will occur then, if not after the Trib.
It is WELL AFTER Armageddon.

You completely reframed it.
Unbelievable

I believe the only real issue regarding resurrection is whether the person receives a glorified body, as Paul describes in 1 Cor 15 and 1 Thess 4. And what Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1:23 about the imperishable body (glorified body).

We read about several people during Jesus' ministry who were raised from the dead. Also, many believers came out of their graves at the crucifixion. Not only that, we have evidence of people being raised from the dead in the OT: Heb 11:35, which is a reference to 1 Kings 17:22-23, where Elijah raised a dead to life and presented him back to her.

So, the question is: did any of these receive an imperishable body when they came back to life? The answer is "no" because there is no mention of such.

And, since the Bible teaches that the singular resurrection of all the saved will occur "when He comes", from 1 Cor 15:23, and Paul describes the resurrection (glorified body) of Jesus is the first one (first fruits), we know that none of the people who came back to life received a glorified body, since all of them died and came back BEFORE or WHEN Jesus was crucified. And Jesus didn't appear on earth in His glorified imperishable body until 3 days after the crucifixion.

If there is a difference between "from the dead" and "of the dead", it's probably that "from the dead" refers to those who came back to life and died again, whereas "of the dead" would refer to the saints, regarding that resurrection. That term is also used for ALL the unbelievers who will be raised to life for the GWT judgment, and they certainly don't receive a glorified body, obviously.

The Bible speaks of the resurrection in the singular. There are not stages. Only one.

The "firstfruits" is jesus Himself, who was the FIRST human to receive a glorified body. All the rest of the saved receive their glorified bodies "when He comes", as 1 Cor 15:23 says.

And Rev 20:5 very plainly describes the resurrection of trib martyrs as the FIRST resurrection, so that's when ALL believers will get a glorified body.

Yes, rather impressive, huh.


Huh? The Bible SAYS it. Why do you rejecrt what the Bible says?


Actually, ALL believers from Adam forward will have to wait until "when He comes" at the end of the Trib, since the Bible says so.

Well, this comment proves that you aren't making any progress at all. I have already proved that it is from ALL the translations that say that.


Not difficult to ascertain. It occurs after the Trib.


Context does tell us. Sometimes the Bible speaks as if an event has already occurred but hasn't yet. Such as Rom 8:30 - And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Have you been glorified yet? That means receiving an imperishable body.


Only in your own mind.


Follow the Bible. Start with ch 19 and then just keep reading through at least v.6.

Was the resurrection of Christ part of the first resurrection? Did not Christ resurrect first before these in Revelation 20? One has to understand the first resurrection has three parts. The body being sown in the ground is likened to a seed, the planting of a crop. Thus, Christ is the Firstfruits, then the harvest, then lastly the gleanings which finishes the harvest process…one harvest, three parts.

Revelation 20:
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The ones martyred by the ac is the first resurrection?

Here it is
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Who is in the first resurrection?

The second resurrection obviously omits those risen in the first.

Again who is in the first resurrection?

"""Why do you continue to ask such a ridiculous question? v.5 plainly SAYS the resurrection of the martyrs is the FIRST resurrection."""
So you do confirm those martyred by the ac are the first resurrection?

What about others dying naturally and saved for the last 1900 years?

"""huh? So you really DON'T know "when He comes"??

When do you think the Second coming will occur then, if not after the Trib.

It is WELL AFTER Armageddon.

You completely reframed it.
Unbelievable"""

Do you realize you placed the second coming AFTER the battle of Armageddon?

Rev 20:5 specifically calls that resurrection the FIRST resurrection. The verse that you always ignore and leave out when you quote anything in Rev 20.

And 1 Cor 15:23 proves that there is only 1 resurrection of the saved, which will be "when He comes". Everyone knows that Jesus' First Advent was as a baby and suffering servant. And His Second Advent will be as King of kings and Lord of lords, which occurs at the end of the Tribulation. So that's when ALL believers, from Adam forward will be resurrected and receive glorified bodies. Believers who survive the Tribulation will be "changed in the twinkling of the eye" according to Paul in 1 Cor 15:52. Which means they will also receive a glorified body. All believers get theirs at one event. It is called the FIRST resurrection.

It is sad that you won't acknowledge Rev 20:5.

Rev 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

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.

We have all that after the second coming on white horses.
You are not aware of that.

\You think the rapture AND RESURRECTION HAPPEN AFTER THE SECOND COMING ON WHITE HORSES.

Beyond that you are oblivious that the rapture happens AT HIS APPEARING ??????

You just placed it ( with all authority, AFTER....WELL AFTER .....HIS APPEARING.....EVEN AFTER SATAN BOUND AND THE MARTYRS ARE ESTABLISHED IN THRONES)

That is massive error.

There is NOTHING in vs 4 or 5 about when they are resurrected.

Was the resurrection of Christ part of the first resurrection?

Quote absolutely; "Only part...(and that resurrection mentioned in rev 20 has no mention of when."

Quote fg;
"Not difficult to ascertain. It occurs after the Trib."

Verse please.

So, let's fix your dishonesty right now.

Then I quoted 24 translations that PROVE that v.5 that says the martyrs are in the FIRST resurrection.

I wasn't addressing WHEN He comes in my post. So your question is superfluous and irrelevant.

But since you are trying to insinuate a LIE, I'll clear it all up for you. The phrase "when He comes" in 1 Cor 15:23 refers to the Second Advent or Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This will occur at the end of the Tribulation. 2 Thess 2:1 specifically says so.


Of course at the end of the Trib. In fact, His coming ends the Trib, at the battle of Armageddon.


Prove it.


Prove it by showing when the Second Advent occurs.


No, I didn't. In fact, I have, AGAIN, proved again how wrong you are.

Jesus returns to earth to END the battle of Armageddon, which ends the Tribulation, and beins the Millennial Reign.

It does NOT say when.

But lets look at when YOU place it.

Lol
My quote: "that means there is no resurrection at the second coming on white horses"

Fg quote;
""""huh? So you really DON'T know "when He comes"?? When do you think the Second coming will occur then, if not after the Trib.
It is WELL AFTER Armageddon"""

See how you reframed it?

Pssst...in your sequence you have Jesus coming on white horses AFTER ARMAGEDDON.
UH....that is not at all in the bible

Ridiculous and FALSE claim, which you seem to be fond of doing.

The Second Coming begins in Rev 19 in heaven when Jesus and His army prepares for the trip, and the results of His coming to earth in v.17-21. When the beast and FP are thrown into the LoF and Satan is bound for 1,000 years.


Change that ridiculous "after" to WHEN. Then you'll be correct.


Rather, you are QUITE oblivious to what I believe, even though I have been very careful and clear.


OK, you just can't read straight. That's a problem.


Sure there is. But since you can't read straight, I can't expect you to read any verse and grasp it's meaing.

I have ascertained that you are unable or unwilling to absorb reasonable and rational information. Or even the Bible itself.

...drum roll please....FIRSTFRUIT JEWS.
By fg taking firstfruits off the table, the entire string of harvests is corrupted.
There are 3 main harvests.
Barley
Wheat
Fruit ( grapes)
