For one thing, Matthew 25:31-34 (and its context) is about the "STILL-LIVING [of the] nations" at the time-slot being referenced (same for Matt13:24,30,39,40,49-50 [meaning, re: the "STILL-LIVING" persons], as I mentioned being the passage the disciples BASED their Q of Him and He's RESPONDING...

--Rev20:5b "THIS is the resurrection the first [adj]" points back to what John had just SEEN ["saw"] in v.4b; 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...

AGREED! (y) Well, I agree there are SAINTS who will be KILLED by the man of sin, who will NOT have taken the mark!! RIGHT! (member "Psalm1" does not seem to acknowledge this, anywhere in his viewpoint / scheme-of-things) And although you and I seem to have disparate viewpoints of...

^ I'm a "pre-tribber" who sees Jesus' second ascension (the one in Acts 1) to be "in like manner AS YE HAVE SEEN" (i.e. "VISIBLE") to be how He will "RETURN" to the earth (when "every eye shall SEE Him"); whereas His EARLIER ascension (some "40 days" earlier, ON "FIRSTFRUIT" / His Resurrection...

^ 1 Corinthians 15:20 - "[ 1Co 15:20 ] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits [G536 - singular] of them that slept." And He did this ON "FIRSTFRUIT" [Lev23:10-12] (on that very day). [John 5:29 says there are TWO KIND of "resurrection": "resurrection OF LIFE"...

Revelation 20:5b (your verse ^ ), where it says, "THIS is the resurrection the FIRST [ADJ]"... the word "THIS" is POINTING BACK TO what had just been stated in v.4b which verse pertains ONLY TO the saints having been "beheaded / martyred" in the LAST 3.5 YEARS of the Trib (when the "mark" will...

Here's why... as I see it: "6But we speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to naught. 7But we speak in a mystery, the wisdom of God having been hidden, which God foreordained before the ages for our glory, 8which none of the...

Right. That's why Revelation 19:15b uses the "FUTURE TENSE" ("shall rule/shepherd/feed them/the nations [FUTURE tense]") from that point in the chronology (His "RETURN"--same idea of "RETURN" spelled out in both Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44 [and parallel] "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding..." THEN...

I already guessed that you, like the "Amill-teachings," do not recognize the distinction between the Greek words (Paul used in this context)...: -- "eita" (Paul used in 1Cor15:24a "Then [eita] the end"), which is a SEQUENCE WORD ONLY with NO time-element attached (regarding the LISTED ITEMS in...

You ask good and thoughtful questions, as always, GaryA. :) I'll do my best to answer your concern (though I have indeed posted about this in the past). First off, consider the following verses: Exo 23:19 The first [H7225 (note what I said earlier!)] of the firstfruits [H1061] of thy land...

But I'm saying it IS MENTIONED. I pointed out how the SAME WORD is used in Rev2:8 (re: Jesus), which text states, "[which was dead] AND LIVED" (speaking THERE specifically of HIS BODILY RESURRECTION after He was bodily-dead! Same in Acts 25:19! I pointed those out!) The ones in 20:4a are...

^ In Rev20:5b (speaking specifically of those in v.4b [SECOND-HALF-TRIB martyrs]), where it says, "THIS is the resurrection the first [ADJ]," it is speaking of their BODILY RESURRECTION after they'd been bodily BEHEADED [/physically DEAD]. lol But this text is NOT saying these are the first...

Except THAT is not the CONTEXT of Jesus' words in v.25... (which was about the KIND of DEATH [passed-away] that LAZARUS had just DIED / EXPERIENCED... which was NOT a "spiritual death" kind of death! ;) ) You've been swayed by the "Amill-teachings" on this verse (v.25)! LOL

Glad you specified "not in the context of Lazarus" (which is the SAME "context" of Jesus' response OF VERSE 25! speaking of "bodily death" and "bodily resurrection"... RIGHT!) So, the following is true of me (where I've BOLDED): 2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we...

^ TO ADD: (I mentioned how the English [kjv, anyway], in Jn11:25, doesn't really CONVEY accurately the meaning, there... "though he PASS-AWAY"... or, if you'd rather, "though he's PASSED-AWAY"... it means he's physically DIED). "believeth" takes place while he is alive... ... "THOUGH he...

^ @Saul-to-Paul ... DIFFERENT CONTEXT! Recall, in Jn11 Martha was speaking to Jesus about how her BODILY-DEAD brother will live again ("IN the LAST DAY" / "IN the LAST MILLENNUIM")... and the first part of Jesus' response (v.25b) PERTAINS TO THAT (i.e. "resurrection"). ____________...

I'm not seeing that: https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jhn/11/25/ss1/t_concif_1008025 Plus, I'm pointing out the definition: "die-off / pass-away [G599 - apo thnēskō ]"... ... and showing other contexts where the Greek word for "yet shall HE LIVE" is used to speak of...

No, it is saying "he that BELIEVETH in Me [when he's alive], THOUGH HE DIE-OFF / PASS-AWAY [i.e. physically DIE], yet SHALL [future-tense] he LIVE [speaking of bodily-resurrection, in this context of "physical / bodily passing-away"] I'm pointing out what the Greek word means... "[though he]...

But "Christ's COMING" takes place in Rev19 (that is, His coming / "return" TO THE EARTH), not Rev20:11-15 (GWTj). Wait. Are you saying that people (AFTER they physically DIE / are DEAD [when existing as "souls"]) will "convert to Faith on Jesus Christ" (while the 1000-yrs is occurring on...

I disagree. :) [I placed some COLOR in your quote and enlarged the text I want to focus on, to point out something for this post] The Greek word for the English phrase "though he were dead" is the word "apo thnḗskō [G599; from apo G575 and thnḗskō G2348]" meaning "to die off" (kind of like...
