Revelation 20:6



Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.  Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

·         In John 5:28-29, Jesus described two resurrections: Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.  (DG)

·         The two events are separated by this 1,000 year period, because the rest of the dead are not given their resurrection bodies until the thousand years were finished. (DG)
