Subject: Is the first resurection in Mat 27:52 |
Bible Note: 1. I agree that Rev 20:6 does not limit the resurrection to OT saints. Neither does it give a clear picture of who is involved. The only statement as to whom, is found in verse 4. I realize that there may be a stretch in my thinking, but it only seems logical that the resurrection spoken of in Matthew 27:52 is a resurrection of OT saints. 2. I probably did not use the best terminology is expressing my thoughts on this matter. A more accurate reflection of my thinking is that Satan is limited in his ability to affect the Saints by using deception. Therefore, he is in a sense bound or limited in his work. Until, he is let lose for a final season. 3. I agree the second death has no power over any saint. I do not see that this statment in verse 6 is limiting the "second death" statement only to those of the first resurrection. Thank you for responding to my thougts. |
