Rev 20:6 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.

Those that are in the first resurrection, raised just prior to the millennium, will reign with Christ a thousand years, and the second death has no power over them.

Rev 20:5 (But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.) This is the first resurrection.

The rest of the dead refers to the second resurrection, and those mentioned in Ezekiel 37 who will be fighting with Gog of Magog.

It seems quite clear. Can't understand why you can't see it.

Rev 20
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

No resurrection there
The living are gathered.


9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death

Resurrection and GWTJ is AFTER THE BATTLE you are referring to.
 
Revelation1v8 said:
I'm not sure I understand what you're implying. Here's how I see it.

  • Universal Pilgrimage: People from all over the world will go up to the mountain of the Lord to learn His ways and walk in His paths, as the law and the word of the Lord will go forth from Jerusalem.
  • Mandatory Attendance: According to Zechariah, survivors from all nations that attacked Jerusalem will be required to go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, specifically to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
  • Topographical Change: The city will be elevated above all other hills, creating a physical ascent for pilgrims that symbolizes the holiness and authority of God’s rule.

I was saying just because you find the words high mountain, it does not necessarily mean it is in the latter day.

It doesn't say it is mandatory. It will only be the just that is there, because the rest have been destroyed. This all occurs after the millennium.

There was no living to gather. They were either resurrected to the wedding or they were killed, including the remnant, as found in Revelation 19.
