AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed], [Dan 7:25; 8:25; 1 Tim 4:1] |

Bible Note: Ooooops! I just realized I didn't answer one of your questions, when do these resurrections happen? Rev 20:4 follows the casting of Satan into the abyss, which follows the the casting of the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire, which follows Jesus' revealing in power and glory. It precedes the 1000 year reign of Jesus upon the earth, so I would answer that this resurrection is of those who are killed between the rapture of the church and the end of the age, and that it occurs at the end of this age, the beginning of the millenium. Rev 20:11 follows Satan being cast into the lake of fire, which is "after the 1000 years are finished". It precedes the New Heaven and New Earth, so I would answer that it occurs after the millenium, before the new creation, and the eternal state. Perhaps this then will be more complete!
