Hi Searcher, I think the key to what Rev. 20:4,5 is expressing is a good example of what Paul is telling us in I Cor. 15:21-23. 1 Cor. 15:21-23 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. In verse 23 we have the English word, (order), which is translated from the Koine Greek word, (TAGMA). The order, or TAGMA, is like a parade, or review of military troops, passing by a reviewing stand. 1st there is A Company, which is Christ Himself, then the next group is B Company and C Company and so on; but there is a definite space between each company yet they are all part of the whole, or the first resurrection. Rev. 20:5-6 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [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. Have a great day, CDBJ |
