141 | Is the first resurection in Mat 27:52 | Rev 20:5 | benjamite | 33867 | ||
Wait a second. It is an interesting theological "aside", but let's get back to the issue. If we want to make too much out of the word again, let's take it in the context of John 10:17. Christ, who had taken "life" (John 1 - the word became flesh), laid his life down. When He rose, he took life again. When Revelation says "This is the first resurrection", it speaks of those who came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Rev 20:4). |

Three points, 1. Rev 20:6 does not limit the resurrection to OT saints. 2. 1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." The devil isn't bound. He is still deceiving the nations. (2 Cor 11:3; Titus 3:3). 3. 20:6 says, "over THESE, the second death has no power" (speaking of those raised in the 1st Resurrection). That fits me. John 3:16. In Him, Benjamite |

No sweat Preacher Tim, If you don't mind my asking, you said "righteous souls" and "unrighteous souls". "Souls" can be pretty generic, so some poor soul might still be confused. Are you saying that only the souls (or may I say "immaterial parts") of men are resurrected? Or, were you just using "souls" in the general sense to mean person? (as I did above) In Him, Benjamite |

I'm not sure that we'll ever see eye to eye on this. It seems like what you are saying is that there won't be a future, literal, physical, earthly reign of Christ. I see way too much evidence to the contrary. There is a lot of information here. I do not wish to bombard, but to present the evidence. Obviously, I see Revelation 20 as beeing yet entirely unfulfilled (and still future). Outside of this chapter, there is a bunch of evidence for an earthly reign of Christ (where He is physically present on the earth.) I see the first resurrection as that of the just (before the millennium), and the second as that of the unjust (afterwards). Romans 8:18-22 says that creation will be set free. (I see this as being before it is destroyed by fire - 2 Peter 3.) Isaiah 11 speaks of physical blessings that have yet to happen (I have yet to see a weaned child putting his hand on the viper's den). Also, Isaiah says that the nations rather than being "deceived" will resort to the root of Jesse. Isaiah 65 speaks of youth dying at the age of 100, yet it still speaks of death. Few people over the last two thousand years could even dream of reaching the century mark. In the new heaven and new earth, there will be no more death (Rev 21:4). Although John 18:36 says that Christ's kingdom is not of this world, it doesn't mean that it cannot be on the earth. (cf. John 8:23). Note also that Jesus says that we, believers, are "not of the world" (John 15:18-19). There are those who look at Luke 17:21 and say that the Kingdom has already begun. I would respond that the kingdom of God was "in [their] midst" because the King was there. Note also that in Acts 1:6, the disciples still had to ask if Christ was, at that time, going to restore the kingdom to Israel. If they were not still expecting a physical reign, they would not have asked. In Acts 3:19ff, Peter speaks of "times of refreshing". Note that it says "times", not just personal "refreshing". Also, we see that the sending of verse 20 is in contrast to the "receive" of verse 21. Note also the future "period of restoration". There is coming a day when the Lord will restore the Kingdom to Israel. (Acts 3:22-26) For these reasons, and others, it is my belief that Rev. 20 is yet to be fulfilled. In Him, Benjamite |

145 | where's it say innocent goes to heaven? | Rev 21:1 | benjamite | 37674 | ||
There are a number of places where heaven is mentioned (type in the word heaven into the search box at the right). I'm going to put your answer near the very end. I would encourage you to read all of Revelation 21-22. Is this what you were looking for? |

Oh, okay. How about Isaiah 7:15-16? Here we see that there is a time before someone knows to choose right and reject the wrong (and they are therefore innocent). Perhaps 2 Samuel 12:23 (or David might simply be referring to physical death when he says "I shall go to him..."). |
