The Sixth Seal commences with dramatic cosmic signs.
Not happened yet.

The rest of your last 3 posts, are just useless opinion. Jesus does NOT Return to destroy the word, but to reign over it. Revelation 20:1-6

6TH seal, trump and vial is when satan appears, so yep that has yet to happen .

Problem is, you believe and teach 2 Peter 3:10-13 is just destroying man's works, when scripture clearly teaches the heavens and earth will be dissolved by fire to their very elements

Davy wants to see a magical 1,000 year kingdom on this earth, where the wizard of OZ stands behind a curtain ruling the world?

A man made fairy tale not found in scripture!

No, that's not what scripture teaches ,look at it more like purifying gold .How can you even write that there will be no 1000 reign of Christ on this earth ? Mind blowing .

II Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

"A thief in the night" is an figure of speech that means that Christ shall come at an unexpected time. In the English it sounds like a very scary time, but lets see what it says in the original text. The "elements" are not the elements that you think of, such as gold, iron, oxygen and so on, but they are the "evil rudiments" that go to make up the evil in this earth age. This includes the evil spirits, the fallen angels, and all the things and forms of idolatry that cause flesh man to sin. The time of this burning will be at God's appointed time, so this verse is addressed to all those things that go to offend our Heavenly Father.

God will not destroy this earth again, did He not give a rainbow for that promise ?

Revelation 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."

Please tell me when Rev 6 happened ?

The rest of your last 3 posts, are just useless opinion. Jesus does NOT Return to destroy the word, but to reign over it. Revelation 20:1-6
God the Father's deepest desire is to permanently dwell within His creation of man. From God's perspective, that is the situation that was lost in the Garden, along with the fact that people shall now die and be lost. God knew that once A&E ate of the tree of the KoG&E, the tree of Life Eternal was not to be available for their partaking. The results of that is, people surely do die, without eternal existence of any kind.

Although you may not be willing to entertain the following, you should be aware that the "binding" of satan took place in the time of Jesus' first appearance, by His death and resurrection unto Spiritual and Immortal New Life.
That act of Christ binding Satan is not visible in the global scheme of man's domain, but rather for each and every individual who has been born again of God's Holy Spirit, aka "the nations of them which are saved" (KJV-Revelation 21:24), are now become that "holy nation" unto God (1 Peter 2:9), His invisible church (called out ones).

In the KJV- NT biblical context, all would do well to study the spiritual victory that Jesus is now wielding for every individual, in every generation, who comes to repentance towards God through Christ.
Please reference in the KJV, Matthew 12:27-29, Mark 3:26-27, Luke 11:20-22, in conjunction with Matthew 12:43-45, Luke 11:24-26, paying particular attention to the words "empty, swept and garnished".

Now, the question is WHY was that evil spirit, and others more, able to re-occupy the physical body of such a person? The Holy Spirit had not taken up permanent residence within him.
Yes, a person can come to Christ for God's forgiveness of sins (swept away), but if that person never "asked" or invited Christ's Holy Spirit to dwell within him, the evil spirits (fallen angels) still see him to be "empty" and void, and take up residence within him again. Luke 11:13, Revelation 3:20, Romans 8:8-9.

Such is the evidence for the parable of "the ten virgins".
For everyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ within them, they REMAIN to be "a child of the devil", "condemned already". John 3:18, 1 John 5:12-13.
Edit:
However, for every person who has asked for the Gift of God's Holy Spirit, through faith in Christ, He who is much "stronger" than the evil spirits, takes up permanent residence, and they shall never invade or occupy such a person ever again.

Of course this earth will "Pass Away" it will be a completely "New Creation" just as scripture teaches below

"Behold I "Create" New Heavens And A New Earth"

Isaiah 65:17KJV
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

"Behold, I Make All Things New"

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6TH seal, trump and vial is when satan appears, so yep that has yet to happen .
The Sixth Seal is before any of the Trumpets and Bowls.
Proved by the time gap of the Seventh Seal. Satan is thrown out of heaven 3 1/2 years before Jesus Returns, then the Great Tribulation of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls take place in the sequence as Written; culminating in the 6th and 7th Bowl = the Battle of Armageddon, when Jesus Returns.
That act of Christ binding Satan is not visible in the global scheme of man's domain
Reality refutes you.
As Peter says: Satan is a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can deceive.
What happens to Satan when Jesus Returns, Revelation 20:1-3, plainly has not happened yet.
However, for every person who has asked for the Gift of God's Holy Spirit, through faith in Christ, He who is much "stronger" than the evil spirits, takes up permanent residence, and they shall never invade or occupy such a person ever again.
Rubbish!
Even the best of us is subject to temptation and as history shows; a once godly person falls from grace, it happens quite frequently.
I personally know a guy; on fire for the Lord; he actually met Jesus, [so he claimed] but he crashed right back into drugs and sinning.
"Behold I "Create" New Heavens And A New Earth"
AFTER the thousand years of the reign of King Jesus, as Revelation 20 clearly states.
It is wrong theories that deny Jesus His reward of being the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, over the present earth, that deny His reward as Isaiah 2:2-4, Psalms 110:2, Psalms 2:8 and many other Prophesies attest.

Scripture teaches Jesus returns, the resurrection takes place (Then Cometh The End) you don't like those words, because it removes your claim of a 1,000 year kingdom on earth after the resurrection, there isn't 1,000 years seen between verses 23-24 below, will you now "Add" to scripture?

Why do you desire to remove the words (Then Cometh The End)???????

1 Corinthians 15:21-24KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

You are wrong; there is a thousand year gap between 1 Cor 15:23 and 24.
You reject and deny Revelation 20:1-10, if you think otherwise.

Also you deny and ignore the scriptures I posted in #86.

Unfortunately you didn't follow through in your copy/paste of what I said in the following:
"That act of Christ binding Satan is not visible in the global scheme of man's domain, but rather for each and every individual who has been born again of God's Holy Spirit, aka "the nations of them which are saved" (KJV-Revelation 21:24), are now become that "holy nation" unto God (1 Peter 2:9), His invisible church (called out ones)."

God's plan for the past 2000 years, is Him taking His spiritual battle for souls at ground level, one on one.
The world as a whole does not see that spiritual warfare happening, whereby God commands Satan to leave the house of flesh of each person, who has faith in Jesus, and invites the Holy Spirit into their life. In the moment of that act of faith, the evil spirit(s) must leave the "house" that they have taken up residence in.

He who is "stronger" than the "strongman" has been "spoiling" satan's goods, which is all of those who have faith in Jesus, and are born again of the Holy Spirit.
"To the Victor go the spoils".

Basically you are right, in that Salvation is up to each individual person. The individuals who make up the House of Israel, currently still scattered among the nations. To be gathered into all of the holy land soon after the Lord has cleared and cleansed it. Deuteronomy 32:34=43

Where you go off the rails is in thinking Revelation 20:1-3 is in effect now. When Satan get locked into the pit; he won't be able to do anything. Period.

We each, who are of faith in Christ, are the literal house (dwelling place) of God. We each ARE now that 3rd temple of the Living God.
1Cor.6 [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Collectively, we altogether, are God's 3rd temple.

In the day of Adam's fall, all of human creation (houses for God) was stolen away from God, through the deception of satan. That is why I say that God the Father needed the sacrifice of Jesus, just as much as we do.

God commands Satan to leave the house of flesh of each person, who has faith in Jesus, and invites the Holy Spirit of God into their life. In the moment of that act of faith, the evil spirit(s) must leave the "house" that they have taken up residence in.
Satan and his evil horde are "squatters", living in God's houses, that He originally created for Himself.

But now, for we who have returned to God through faith in Jesus, we fully do understand what Paul is saying in 2Cor.4:6-7
[7] But we have this treasure [of God Himself] in [our] earthen vessels [mortal bodies], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
By digesting the details in all of the above, we can now begin to understand just exactly who the many "garnished" "mansions" are, who are in the Father's house/temple.
John.14[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
1Pet.2[5] Ye also, as lively stones [gems], are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ [the chief corner stone].

Now, if you can think on this, who was/is the first New house of God the Father? John 11:25, Colossians 1:18, Romans 8:29.

And what does it really mean for us "to be in Jesus"? Colossians 3:1-4

^ So now I ask, how did you or any of us get to the situation with God, whereby we are now made to be partakers of the/His divine nature? 2 Peter 1:1-4
Ans. Through faith in Jesus, and by His Holy Spirit given to be within us, we already are participating spiritually in Jesus' resurrection. Colossians 3:1-4.
[1] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Therefore:
Rev.20[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath* part in the first resurrection [who is Jesus]**: 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 thousand years are figurative for the Age of God's Grace NOW, ever since Pentecost.

*Notes: the word "hath" [has] is in the present tense.
** the FIRSTborn, the FIRST "New creature" from the dead. Colossians 1:18, 2 Corinthians 5:17

We each ARE now that 3rd temple of the Living God.
Yes, for now that is the case.
But Prophecy is quite clear: there will be a new Temple in Jerusalem.

As for the Resurrection, it is ONLY the GT martyrs who are brought back to life when Jesus Returns.
the rest of the dead must wait until the end of the Millennium. Revelation 20:5

It is very unfortunate that Church teaching has given people the impression of an instant change into immortality when Jesus Returns. Or even before that Day - in the false teaching of a 'rapture to heaven'.
We must face testing and prove our faith and trust in the Lord, thru all that must happen before that glorious Day. Those people that remain, 1 Thess 4:17, will go with Jesus into the Millennium.

It is not a trap to believe the Bible sequence of events, as Written.

Well yes, it certainly is trap what you suggest.

And the reason why thinking of it that way is a trap is because Lord Jesus already gave us the 7 main Signs of the end leading up to His return in His Olivet discourse, and those events are... the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, and 7 Vials, which are only about those same 7 Signs He gave. This is why when studying about the Seals of Rev.6, it should be done in parallel with Christ's Olivet discourse.

The Seventh Trumpet, Revelation 11:15-19, is clearly just an announcement, made in heaven as stated; of the soon to come; Return of Jesus to reign over the earth for the next thousand years.

Now why do you want to tell a fib like that? You well know the events given on the 7th Trumpet involve Christ having returned, and at that moment all the kingdoms of this world become those of The Father and His Son. And then the same type events on the 6th Seal and 7th Vial follow...

Rev 11:14-18
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."


16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Which art, and wast, and art to come; because Thou hast taken to thee Thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

KJV


Your ideas of a Spiritual existence after Jesus Returns, simply does not comply with what the Prophets tell us.

Yeah it does. If you don't understand how it does, especially with the Millennial chapters of Ezekiel 40 through 47, with reference to the Tree of Life on earth with the return of God's River of Genesis 2, then it must mean you lack study in the Old Testament prophets.

Immortality cannot be conferred on anyone until they face the Judgment of God. Revelation 20:11-15

Who said anything about the wicked being 'immortal'? I never did.

John 5:28-29
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

KJV

Did Lord Jesus through His Apostle John mean the wicked dead are going to be raised to a "spiritual body" too? Yeah! That's exactly what Lord Jesus meant.

So, let me see, I guess that don't mean the "spiritual body" is immortal for everyone then. Yep! That's correct. The wicked raised of the "resurrection of damnation" will still... have mortal souls in a liable to perish condition, and will stay that way all throughout Christ's future "thousand years" reign with His elect. (Apostle Paul actually taught this in the 1 Corinthians 15:53-54 verses, but one must go to the Greek to the gist of it.)

Now why do you want to tell a fib like that?
Disgusting and rude comments get you a reputation for ignorance and blinded intransigence.

As the Book of Revelation goes on the describe the Seven Bowls; After that.....Revelation 15:1, the the Seventh Trumpet is not and cannot be the actual Return of Jesus, which plainly happens at the 7th Bowl. Revelation 16:16-17
Who said anything about the wicked being 'immortal'? I never did.
Neither did I. Only those whose names are found in the Book of Life; opened AFTER the Millennium, will receive immortality.

I'm disgusting and rude because I tell you the Truth? You'd love to try and shut me up, wouldn't you? Maybe you don't like being shown the actual alignment of those Revelation events really are?

The 7th Trumpet events are aligned with the 6th Seal events, and the 7th Vial events, but you REFUSE to even address those aligned events...


7th Vial
Rev 16:17-20
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
KJV

Rev 6:13-17
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him That sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?'

KJV

Rev 11:18-19
18 And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
KJV

It is very unfortunate that Church teaching has given people the impression of an instant change into immortality when Jesus Returns. Or even before that Day - in the false teaching of a 'rapture to heaven'.

We must face testing and prove our faith and trust in the Lord, thru all that must happen before that glorious Day. Those people that remain, 1 Thess 4:17, will go with Jesus into the Millennium.

God does not live in buildings/Temples made by human hands! Acts 7:47-49, Acts 17:24.
For now, He desires to live in the temporary earthen vessels, our mortal bodies (2 Corinthians 4:7), who is Himself also looking forward to the Day of our immortality.
For that reason only, were we created!
God, having now lived within His people these past 2000+ years, and then to revert back to an earthly temple building again for an additional 1000 years, makes no sense.

Our salvation and redemption is a two stage process.
As for our resurrection into the immortalty of Christ's likeness, there is not going to be another bodily resurrection of anyone else after it. Scripture is clear on all who have physically died (sleep) in Christ. They will be WITH HIM upon His Glorious appearance from Heaven. These are they, who have waited to "live again", BUT in their New life of immortality!
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

See also: 1 Corinthians 15:50-54.
[50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall ALL be changed,
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we [who are alive] shall be changed [also].
[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

KJV Rev. 20: [5] "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection".
Nowhere in the KJV is it saying that the living saints physically died, came back to life again, and then reigned with Christ afterwards, for an additional one thousand years.

The KJV reads: [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
So then, what IS the First Resurrection?
Ans. JESUS Himself, after His crucifixion, IS the First resurrection.

When was that?
Ans. At the beginning of God's Grace to us all, being made available to all who believe, ever since the day of Pentecost.

What does that mean?
Ans. That is when people began having part in the First resurrection, who is Christ. Which is to say that they were still flesh and blood, but are made to be partakers of His spiritual divine nature only, while we are still in our mortal bodies. Therefore, the rest of the dead (who are asleep in Jesus), lived not again [in immortality], UNTIL the figurative 1000 years of God's Grace were finished.
Remember, Jesus still does not know the Day of His return!! So, for Him to even hint at a roundabout date would be deception.
As a result, He is not at all able to define a specific time of when God the Father's Grace and the world shall end. Matthew 24:35-36.

And so, at the beginning of Pentecost (as written in 80- 96AD) we read how Jesus' GIFT of His death and His ever living "divine nature" through faith, has now delivered us from our own life and also our own physical death (John 11:26), and has replaced it with His own New Eternal Life (Galatians 2:20):
Rev. 20[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection [Jesus]: on such the second death hath no power, BUT they shall be priests [ambassadors] of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a [figurative] thousand years.
> Evidently, God the Father purposely didn't inform His Son, that He would continue His Grace towards us for another 1022 years, and counting.

> Have you taken part in Jesus' death and Resurrection? If so, then Jesus died YOUR first death in your stead.
BUT now, being made DEAD to self,
by His New Life within you, you are still alive by Him dwelling within you, and you are now reigning with Christ through His victory over your physical death, which is the death of your physical body of flesh only (John 11:26).
YES, through faith in Him, you already died once spiritually, BUT now, since you "have part"-icipated with Him, "you [your "quickened" inward man] shall never die", which is how He means the second death, of which your corrupted flesh shall literally die.

However, If you didn't spiritually die in Jesus (Colossians 3:1-3), then you could not now be "a partaker of the divine nature", and therefore Romans 8:9 would directly apply to your immediate condition.

Yes, "Blessed and holy IS HE, that HATH part in the first resurrection". That is all written in the present tense, as happening now, spiritually. All that we are waiting for, is to be "CHANGED" into the likeness of His immortality, upon His sudden and Glorious appearance from Heaven :)

The KJV reads: [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
So then, what IS the First Resurrection?
Ans. JESUS Himself, after His crucifixion, IS the First resurrection.

When was that?
Ans. At the beginning of God's Grace to us all, being made available to all who believe, ever since the day of Pentecost.

What does that mean?
Ans. That is when people began having part in the First resurrection, who is Christ. Which is to say that they were still flesh and blood, but are made to be partakers of His spiritual divine nature only, while we are still in our mortal bodies. Therefore, the rest of the dead (who are asleep in Jesus), lived not again [in immortality], UNTIL the figurative 1000 years of God's Grace were finished.
Remember, Jesus still does not know the Day of His return!! So, for Him to even hint at a roundabout date would be deception.
As a result, He is not at all able to define a specific time of when God the Father's Grace shall end.

And so, at the beginning of Pentecost (as written in 80- 96AD) we read how Jesus' GIFT of His death and His ever living "divine nature" through faith, has now delivered us from our own life and also our own physical death (John 11:26), and has replaced it with His own New Eternal Life (Galatians 2:20):

No, no, no. That is not what that future resurrection is about, nor the timing of the future resurrection. Apostle Paul got onto certain brethren that were saying the resurrection had already happened...

2 Tim 2:16-18
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
KJV


The following shows when the resurrection is to happen...

John 5:28-29
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
KJV



The "first resurrection" only happens on the day of Christ's FUTURE COMING.

And those then of that "first resurrection" represent His elect servants that will reign with Him over the unsaved for that "thousand years" of Revelation 20.

Those "dead" of Revelation 20:5 which live not again until after the "thousand years" is over, is about those unsaved that stand in judgment throughout that 1,000 years period.

And because a "FIRST resurrection" is mentioned, that automatically suggests at least one more LIKE IT. What KIND of resurrection is that "first resurrection"? It is one unto Jesus Christ, those having put on immortality and are not subject to the "second death".

After the 1,000 years, we are shown the books are opened to see IF there are any names written in the Book of Life. Well since those of the "first resurrection" have already been judged per their names being written, then what's this 'second' check in the Book of Life for?

It is for those who BELIEVE ON JESUS DURING the 1,000 years period, and are tested by Satan when he is loosed one last time to deceive the unsaved nations. Those then become part of the 1st resurrection, not subject to the "second death". Then those who refuse Christ go into the "lake of fire" along with the devil, hell, and death.

The 7th Trumpet events are aligned with the 6th Seal events, and the 7th Vial events
Those three events are separate and happen at different times. Just because there are a few similarities, doesn't mean they are the same event.
Is a lion the same as a cat? Does an earthquake only happen once?
God does not live in buildings/Temples made by human hands!
Actually He did, 2 Chronicles 7:1-3, but God left the first Temple, Ezekiel 11:22-23. Gods Shekinah glory was never in the second Temple, but it will be in the Third. Ezekiel 43:1-5
After the 1,000 years, we are shown the books are opened to see IF there are any names written in the Book of Life. Well since those of the "first resurrection" have already been judged per their names being written, then what's this 'second' check in the Book of Life for?
The First Resurrection refers only to Jesus.
Those GT martyrs, Revelation 20:4-5, are not yet given immortality; they may die again; but over them their second death has no power.
They, like every person who has ever lived; must stand before God on His Great White Throne and only then, is the Book of Life opened. Rev 20:11-15

Because you misread my post, you misunderstood my point. Try to digest this first, and then you will understand: Jesus Himself, IS THE FIRST Resurrection.
