You have it backwards.
a.) The Second Coming of Christ is the First Resurrection whereby the literal 1,000 years of Ruling with Christ begins on earth.
b.) Satan is locked up and a seal placed on him/his location whereby he is unable to exert his deception upon the nations during this literal 1,000 years.
c.) The literal 1,000 years are finished/completed and Satan is lossed "a little while" for the Final Judgment and GWT.
Revelation 20:6 simply says, “Blessed and holy is he ‘that hath part’ (present active particle) in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power.”
The Greek word for "first" (as in first resurrection) is protos. It is a contracted superlative meaning foremost (in time, place, order and/or importance). So which is the "first" (or protos) resurrection - Christ's or the resurrection that occurs at the second coming? This is a pretty simply question.
Which is the foremost resurrection in time?
Which is the foremost resurrection in place?
Which is the foremost resurrection in order?
Which is the foremost resurrection in importance?
- Christ's resurrection is the "first" or foremost resurrection in time.
- Christ's resurrection is the "first" or foremost resurrection in place.
- Christ's resurrection is the "first" or foremost resurrection in order.
- Christ's resurrection is the "first" or foremost resurrection in importance.
