Revelation 20 is Scripture, and it clearly states they lived again. The rest of the dead did not live again.
The word "again" is used in contrast for those who lived again at the start of the Day of the Lord, with those who did not live again at the start of the Day of the Lord. Lazarus lived again, and that was near 2,000 years ago. That was a first resurrection. So the hour of the first resurrection already started back with Lazarus.
If this is to be understood as them coming to physical life AGAIN after they were martyred why do the following translations omit the word 'again'? There is no mention of the martyred saints coming to physical life
again after death because none shall be resurrected to physical life AGAIN until the hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. John writes only that these martyred living souls before physical death "lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." John is showing us that physical death has no power over those who die in faith. After the physical body of faithful saints breathes its last, faithful saints shall continue to be living souls in heaven, a spiritual body of believers without physical form while in heaven.

How had they lived and reigned with Christ in time symbolized a thousand years, since it cannot be with physical bodies of flesh? And then continue to have life after physical death? Just as in life believers are spiritually a physical body of saints on earth, since the life we receive through Christ is eternal/never ending life, after physical death we continue to live with Christ in heaven a spiritual body of believers there.
Lazarus was not a bodiless soul that came out of the tomb. Lazarus had a physical body that came out of the tomb, and it was not dead nor smelled like rotten flesh. It was permanent and incorruptible as in all first resurrections that are physical to eternal life. At the point Lazarus came out, it could be said the rest of the dead would not live again until the 3,000 years were over. Then we see at the Cross, the OT redeemed in Christ, were all released from Abraham's bosom. They all received the first resurrection, which was a physical body, just like Lazarus was given.
But Lazarus is now physically dead! If He had been resurrected immortal & incorruptible his flesh could never die. His resurrection to physical life was not immortal & incorruptible as it shall be when he and all faithful saints shall be in the hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. Through the physical resurrection of Lazarus back to mortal, corruptible body, Christ proves He has power over death. Though we shall all physically die in this this age, in the age to come when believers shall be physically resurrected in immortal and incorruptible bodies of flesh, physical death cannot defeat us, because death of our flesh means we shall be present with the Lord in heaven a spiritual body of believers there.
That "time no longer" means humans will no longer be born into death. That is the time that is up. No one will have to ever physically die of old age ever again. Revelation 10 does not say all the dead will rise again. Revelation 10 says the mystery will be finished. That being finished is the end for the time the mystery started in the Garden until it ends at the 7th Trumpet.
No, Rev 10 is very clear for those who receive it! Time shall be no longer tells us this age symbolized as a thousand years for building the spiritual Kingdom of God shall be finished, the mystery that Gentiles shall complete the Kingdom of God has been fulfilled. There shall no longer be more time for mankind to turn to Christ for ever lasting life. The only time still remaining is Satan's little season, which shall bring about the end of Satan and all who follow after him.
