Revelation 20:5

 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished.  This is the first resurrection.

·        None but those who have served Christ and suffered for Him shall be favored with the first resurrection (MH)

·        This is a resurrection of blessing (blessed and holy is he); This is a resurrection of power (over such the second death has no power); This is a resurrection of privilege (they shall be priests of God . . . shall reign with Him a thousand years)  (DG)

Isaiah 26:14  They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not rise.  Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Job 14:14 If a man dies, shall he live again?  All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes.
