Bible Note: God's-elect, I do understand your point since you do not believe in a literal 1000 years. I believe all of Scripture is literal, unless it says otherwise ... with words like "like" "as" ... The first resurection is when some Christians will come to life. The second one is for others (maybe only Christians). The second death (Rev 2:11, 20:6, 14, 21:8) are for the unbelivers. I don't think those of the first resurection are the exclusive group of those who will not experience the second death. One point is that there may be new belivers during the 1000 years. I commend you on being willing to learn. Always be wlling to learn and adjust what you believe. The issue of the resurection and rapture will only be known when it happens. I am not worried about the timing - I am glad I know where I am going. Searcher |
