Resurrection, Saints and Wicked

The Saints –

Their Past:

in Revelation 20:4c –

“They lived / came to life”-‘edzehsan’

parallel with their Past

in John 5:24-25c –

“Now” ... “they shall live”- ‘dzehsohsin’

(“Blessed and holy he that hath Part In The First Resurrection – on such the second death hath no power ...” Rv20:6a)

Their Future:

in John 5:28-29a =

“The hour is coming in which all the dead that are in the graves shall hear His Voice, and shall come forth: They that have done good, unto the resurrection of Life”

parallel with their Future

in Revelation 20:7-15 –

“And when the thousand years were expired ... I saw a white throne and Him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away ... I saw the dead stand before God; and the books were opened. And another Book was opened, The Book of Life ... the sea gave, and hell delivered up the dead ... and the dead were judged ... according to their works” ...

The Wicked –

“The rest of the dead”, ‘on such as the second death hath power...”, Rv20:7-10, 14-15 –

Their Past:

in Revelation 20:5a –

“They lived not”-‘ouk edzehsan’

parallel with their Past

in John 5:24-25 –

They had no Part In The First Resurrection. Omission; they had no part in Jn5:24-25. No parallel found!

Their Future:

in John 5:28-29b –

“The hour is coming in which all the dead that are in the graves shall hear His Voice, and shall come forth ... they that hath done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

parallel with their Future

in Revelation 20:7-15,

“And when the thousand years were expired ... I saw a white throne and Him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away ... I saw the dead stand before God; and the books were opened. And another Book was opened, The Book of Life ... the sea gave, and hell delivered up the dead ... and the dead were judged ... according to their works ... And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire ... And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.”

“After this I saw a new heaven and a new earth.”

Paul describes the FIRST resurrection in 1Thess 4

GE

Paul does not, ‘describe’ 'The First Resurrection', in 1 Thess 4. Fact. There is, no, 'First Resurrection' described in 1Thess 4. Fact.

John, in Rv20:5b, 'describes' "This The First Resurrection". Fact. John, in Rv20:5b, describes "This The First Resurrection", "Thousand Years This The First Resurrection". Fact.

Same John, in Jn5:24-25, 'describes' this same, 'resurrection' (Fact) as "the dead hear(ing) the Voice of the Son of God” (Fact): “And they that hear, shall live -'dzehsousin'". Fact. The very same 'coming to Life' (Fact) the same John employs in Rv20:4. Fact.

No 'first resurrection' anywhere else in Scripture. FACT!

And of course AFTER that FIRST resurrection - there is a literal 1000 years according to Rev 20.

GE

BR says, “... AFTER FIRST resurrection - literal 1000 years ...”. John says, "Thousand Years This First Resurrection" - making the two, the same. And if, there were a chronological sequence, John puts, quote, "Thousand Years First, Resurrection" -- next! If literalness you wanted, you got it!
