Revelation 20:6
“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” —
Revelation 20:6
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. (Revelation 20:6)
.
SCRIPTURE distinguishes between the resurrection of life, which will take place at our Saviour’s pre-millennial advent (
1 Thess. 4:13-17
13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:13‑17)
), and the resurrection of judgment, which takes place at the end of time, just prior to the setting up of the Great White Throne where all the wicked must give account before God. They who participate in the resurrection of the just have been saved by grace. Theirs will be a blessed part indeed. They are holy, set apart to God in Christ. The second death, which is final separation from God, they shall never know, for they are possessors of eternal life received by faith in Christ. For eternity they will have access as priests into the immediate presence of God and the Lamb, and when the Kingdom is set up over this earth they will reign with Him for whom once they suffered in the time of His rejection, Best of all, they shall see and be with Him forever.
“Ah, this is what I’m wanting—
His lovely face to see,
And, I’m not afraid to say it,
I know He’s wanting me!
He gave His life a ransom
To make me all His own,
And He can’t forget His promise
To me, His purchased one.”
— J. G. Deck.
