‘If you have the first resurrection you don’t have the second death’. God be praised indeed.
"And he says, 'So are you!" Nice!
Yes! and "wanna get outa here?!?" Love it.
Romans 6 is my favorite baptism passage! Thank you, Pastor. Have a blessed day
Wow! "Our default religion is self-justification" -brilliant!
Something we always need to be on guard against.
Thank you, Pastor W, for your clear teaching of Holy Scripture!
Thank you Pastor!!!!! God be praised!!
Thanks for this wonderful video Pastor. Your drawing is now replicated in the notes of my Bible. And your story about dying and rising with Christ brought goosebumps. God be praised!
Thanks Bryan
Nice setup Pastor!! Even better content, God be praised!!
Ryan and Casey remember that, too! Thanks for the shout out Pastor. We sure miss you, Keri, and the kids! God's blessings!
Wow thank you! This riddle has confused me so much lol! It really does make sense now 😄
“You’re alive”. “You are too”. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁Praise be to God!!
Great start Pastor to Wake up What Not. I'll have to watch this a few more times to work it out, but thats the neat thing about UA-cam, I can watch it over and over and over. Pastor, whats the best way to get our theological questions to you?
_GREAT_ lesson! What of those in this category? " _Then we who _*_ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN_*_ shall be caught up_ (Harpazo) _together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air_ " ? ~1st Thess 4:17 God Bless!

Awesome! Imagining Romans 6 was great.
Father gave me a clear vision on Dec 4. He showed me I am a martyr for Christ. As vision opens, I am rushing around doing last minute tasks I was in a trailer (not my current home) as I come up the hall into a diningroom, my daughter who is sitting at the table writing on a paper. Without looking up, she says, "When you are done, I will call them to come get you for your beheading." Then vision is done. Then I heard, "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.Revelation 20:4
Ty
I have a question, why is it that Mathew 27:52-53 does not count as the first Resurrection, when Christ rose from the dead , many graves were opened up and the dead rose and lived again, people saw them in the towns, they rose when Christ had risen, that sounds like a first resurrection to me, does this not count. Christ's death was monumental. The biggest event of the the worlds existence, why are people not counting this as a first Resurrection, it would have been , the prophets , Moses, all those that worked for the Most High, even the children who were slain at Christ's birth, the children slain because of Moses also, there were many in the grave waiting.
Why do churches not mention the dead rising with Christ , it's written in scriptures, and down played if you ask me.
How do you explain revelation 20 that talks about first resurrection and says on such the second death has no power?
Just watched the video Beauty of Psalm 1 right before this. the r1-d1-r2-d2 image is just like a building pattern you showed when talking about the structure of that psalm. It would be curious how often that pattern shows up.
Could you explain the difference between baptism by immersion and baptism by aspersion in terms of their Meaning and Mode?
Huh? The conundrum is the two millennium. In the first millennium, the beheaded martyrs reign. In the second millennium, which follows after the first is finished, the rest of the dead reign for a thousand years. Those in the second are referred to as being the first resurrection. What gives?
For me it was John chapters 5 and 11 where multiple resurrections are mentioned with the first being spiritual, that convinced me that verse 6 is about our spiritual resurrection that makes us kings and priests. But I also believe that the first resurrection in verses 4-5 is bodily and a parallel passage to Rev 6 where souls receive white robes. I believe that those souls may be the OT-saints from Matthew 27.
The first bodily resurrection happend with Jesus and the saints and we spiritually partake in this first resurrection when we are regenrated/born again.
could you do a viedo on who all the beast are in the book of revelation.
It is very clear that 1st Resurrection applies to Christian Martyrdom which means instant entrance to Heaven while 2nd Resurrection means General Judgement of the rest.
Yes. It seems the martyrs are in first resurrection, not all believers
The first resurrection was those that were beheaded for the Witness of Jesus they were under the Altar saying How long Oh Lord How long Lord oh Faithful and True .
Also the Judgement at the Great White Throne outside the city gates of Jerusalem this was the resurrection of the Unrighteous where they were all judged according to their works.
The Saints of God that are truly born again of the spirit we are not judged according to our works we are justified by faith not of works less any man should boast but the Unrighteous were resurrected and judged and they were all thrown into the Lake of Fire or the Winepress of the wrath of God bringing Matt.13 the parable of the Wheat and the Tares into fulfillment the Angels of God gathered the Elite Religious Organizations that conspired to have Jesus crucified gathered them together and took them outside the city gates of Jerusalem to be judged according to their works and they hated Jesus so they were cursed predestined to damnation and these religious Antichrist and the rest of the Unrighteous suffered their second death.
The judgment and resurrection has nothing to do with the Entire world this judgment was against the inhabited land of Israel and also the Roman Empire because Jerusalem was a province of Rome in the very first chapter of Revelation it says that these are the things that shall shortly come to pass.
Also Rev.20:5 is not literal the phrase a thousand years in the Greek means Uncertain Affinity
2. In the Bible, affinity refers to a relationship by marriage or alliance. It is used three times in the King James Bible, in 1 Kings 3:1, 2 Chronicles 18:1, and Ezra 9:14. In Hebrew, affinity is "chathan", which means "in-law".
1 .The phrase a thousand years is the Greek word " khil'-ee-oy means uncertain Affinity .
So the meaning of verse 5 is that the Unrighteous are dead and they will not see life again because they had a relationship or an Alliance with Wickedness and Evil they were predestined to damnation.
1st John 5:12-13
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Isaiah 26:14
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Those that suffered the second death in the inhabited land of Israel and the Roman Empire will never see life again
And in Revelation chapter 14 the Bible says that the blood went up to the horses bridl e and the Winepress of the wrath of God went as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs which is equal to 200 miles outside the city gates of Jerusalem
The Smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever !
Which means for an Age " the Jewish Messianic Age 70Ad-73ad of the Second Temple period the end of the Last days
We are now in the Latter-days or Latter-years according to Ezekiel 38:8-16 in which this prophecy was also fulfilled
Amen 🙏
Is that right?
So your picture shows V for victory in Christ.
Could it be that the 1st death is that which I was born into, "dead in trespasses and sins"? That means that the 1st resurrection is when I come to spiritual life in baptism and the hearing of the gospel. The 2nd death is eternal death, body and soul in hell. The second resurrection is the bodily resurrection of the saints, on the Last Day, when Jesus returns!
3:39 I think he made a mistake here which makes this very confusing. He says the first resurrection is the bodily resurrection and then moments later he says the first resurrection is the one we experience when we die.
He did misspeak. He later clarifies that the first resurrection is the spiritual resurrection (faith in Christ/death and resurrection with Christ in baptism), while the second resurrection is the resurrection of the body when Christ returns. Then the first death is the death of the body and the second death is condemnation after Christ's return and the resurrection of the body.
Rev 20:4-6 says what it says. I have to assume that God is not stuttering. He probably means it to say what He says. Wow! I am amazed at the vast confusion and corruption of this chapter. Does God choose to give us all the details we would like to know about this first 1,000 year reign of Christ?
No he is getting wrong. The bible says that if you are a part of the first resurrection then obviously the second is nothing you have to worry about. It doesnt mean that if you arent a part of the first resurrection that you will have the second death .
Someone found out that that line of scripture wasn’t in the original text and that Roman scribes added it into the text. I put a video up of me just reading the article it’s on my page thx I am not saying it should be omitted I am just reading what was found. And my opinion.
Adding to the bible
Luke 17:22-37 is the pre-trib rapture without a resurrection (dead bodies - Luke 17:37, Matt 24:28) when life is good (eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building, and getting married).
1 Thes 4:13-17 is the second coming with the one and only resurrection of the saints (John 6:39-54, 11:24, Rev 20:4-6, 1 Cor 15:52) on the last day, last trump.
At the end of the age most are hiding in a cave (Rev 6:15-17) and freaking out (Luke 21:26).
Maranatha!
There ain't no riddle. The Bible clearly says their are two resurrections. The first is the rapture of the martyred saints and the ones still living when Jesus comes back and the second resurrection is for everyone else
Nope, you are reading into the text, the first resurrection is a bodily resurrection, as is the one that occurs after the 1000 years, the context is clear, one is not born again at baptism, one is born again when one repents and places faith in Jesus, one is baptize after one is saved
4:20 & 10:36
Shouldn’t it be death 1 (death of your “flesh man” so to speak), resurrection 1 (salvation so to speak), death 2 (what we normally think of as physical death), resurrection 2 (souls and bodies of all restored), death 3 (I suppose- the lake of fire?) ???
You can not go through a resurrection until you have died. It’s just not logical… 🤔
I’ve been thinking about it some more… for true Christians the flow would be death 1 (death of self/ flesh; still physically alive, however), then resurrection 1, death 2 (physical death), and then resurrection 2.
D1-R1-D2-R2
For unbelievers it would be death 1 (not death of self but like the believers’ death 2- a physical, let’s say usual, common death), then resurrection 1 (the believers’ resurrection 2 because they were resurrected already once while alive; this resurrection for nonbelievers is the reuniting of soul and body after regular death), then death 2 (a total separation from God).
D1-R1-D2
**The difference is the believer is resurrected twice.**
Also, dying whilst alive before you’re actually dead (and in effect resurrecting) saves you from experiencing what the Bible calls the Second Death (eternal separation from God).
It seems to be very different for both groups if you take into account a dying so to speak prior to the believers’ first resurrection (into salvation; while living).
Anyway, just a thought.
❤
Not true. Carry on reading to rev 20:11,15. Some within the second ressurection are also given life but they are judged according to their deeds
So why it's written...
If we sin willfully "After" the knowledge of the truth there is no longer a redemption for you🤔
So many Christians have already lost out.
That scripture is talking about Jews going back to sacrificing animals at the Jerusalem temple after hearing about Jesus as Messiah. We can't do that today :)
Confused ??
Wish u clarified spiritual baptism is when we are born again, not water baptism.
.... "a thousand years" is a highly symbolic language in Revelation 20. But look first the number of the chapter, the number "20". What is the significance or relation of this number the number 20 of "a thousand years". There might be some hidden meaning of this number., the number "20". And what is the relation of this number of the OMEGA or the Last Adam?
God, for whatever reason He has, does not choose to reveal many details about the Millenium. But Rev 20:4 is very clear. I just started getting into this. I'm amazed at the off the wall interpretations. Amazing. This must confuse the heck out of pre-tribulation theory believers.
The chapters aren't native to the text. The chapter, and verse notations are added later as a tool to make it easier for scribes, and priests to keep track of where they are when they are reading, and copying.
But not everybody will get the bodily death because Jesus will return while some are still alive.
Yeah but those who are still alive lose their bodies aka those bodies perish. It's still technically death for the body. Enoch and Elijah know.
So let me ask you a question which you can not answer because the Bible does not tell us. Jesus returns and the dead in Christ rise first and then those who are alive and remain are caught up. What happens to the possibly billions of people who are still alive? Are they changed into spiritual bodies? Jesus doesn't wipe out all the humans on Earth in the battle of Armagedon does He? The Bible talks about a 200 million man army which apparently is wiped out.
For example, right now there are 8 billion people on Earth. We know that 1/2 of the people on Earth will be killed through famine, wars, etc. (1/3rd and then 1/4th or vice-versa). Either way it works out to half the people. What happens to the other half, minus the 200 million man army? That could be a lot of people? Are we even told what happens to them? Maybe billions of people.
Because, after Jesus returns, wipes out the 200 million man army, throws the Anti-Christ (the ruler of Earth) and the False Prophet into the Lake of Fire (they are done permanently, then Satan is bound for 1,000 years, how many people are alive at that time? Obviously there are many.
When Satan is let out to gather people to fight against Jesus, Satan goes to the four corners of the Earth to gather those people. How many are there? Millions, Billions? We don't know and we are not told. So the anser is:
We do not know and we are not told.
The riddle is solved, and the Mystery of God is being completed. When it is (completed) there is no more delay. They are coming! The FIRST RESURRECTION includes 1) Jesus Christ the Firstborn 2) The Resurrected Saints that slept Matthew 27:52-53 and 3) Those 7000 Old Covenant Saints who did not bow to Baal 4)Those who believe and obey the Gospel in this age ... believing both 1 and 2 (Christ raised from the dead) and 5) An innumerable multitude saved during the Tribulation just ahead by faith in this gospel and 6) the Two Witnesses.....all of these are those who are His at His Coming. (Romans 10:9 we must believe wholeheartedly God raised Jesus out of the Dead firstfruits, not just His death) This order is given in 1 Cor 15:23 (The Resurrection chapter) 1 Cor 15:10-19 Paul elaborates the Mystery of the firstfruits. They are the DEAD, the Dead Saints that slept. Verse 20. The DEAD Jesus was raised from (out of Gr "ek"). Paul says plainly here that if the Dead did not rise then Jesus didn't rise either. Proof? 1) Christ in verse 20 is Singular Masculine Gender ... Firstfruits is GENETIVE PLURAL MASCULINE GENDER. We have been taught (deceived Rev 12:9) that Just Jesus alone is Christ the Firstfruits! This is not the truth. This Resurrection, the First Resurrection - will be completed at their coming. (Jer 31:17) Those Blessed to be in this Resurrection are Judged worthy by FAITH in His Work of Grace in His death, burial and resurrection from them and with them according to scripture. (See 1 Cor 15:1-4) Luke 2:34 and Matthew 27:52 and many other scriptures including Jer 31:15-17 fulfilled in Matthew 2:16-18 make this connection very clearly. The Great White Throne Judgment Resurrection is for the rest who did not believe or believed in vain the half truth gospel and the other Jesus to be judged according to their own works.

He’s he’s gaslighting everybody he’s not even close to understanding what is being said just pretending he does.
There aren’t two resurrections.
So Pastor, hermeneutically speaking since scripture is God's very word, scripture does not contradict scripture but interprets other scripture, context context context etc....you must be saying that Revelation is speaking about the first and second deaths in a different context than the rest of the NT?
A Millennium Puzzle to solve… Will Christ be conducting funeral services for mortals killed in accidents 500 years after His Second Coming?
The “first resurrection” in Rev. chapter 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the Book of Revelation, because the two witnesses are resurrected from the dead in chapter 11. There are two different types of resurrection in John chapter 5. There is a spiritual resurrection from the dead in John 5:24, and a bodily resurrection from the dead in John 5:28-29.
Does your view of the Millennium agree with what Paul said in 2 Thess. 1:7-10, when Paul said Christ returns in "flaming fire" taking vengeance on those who do not obey the Gospel? The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
Does your view agree with what Peter said in 2 Peter 3:10-13, when Peter said this earth is going to burn and "dissolve" when He comes as a thief on the day of the Lord? The fire comes at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
Does your view agree with what Paul said in 2 Tim. 4:1, when Paul said both the living and the dead will be judged at His appearing? The time of the judgment of the dead, with reward for some and destruction for others is found in Rev. 11:18, right after the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible. (This verse also proves the Book of Rev. is not in chronological order.) The judgment of the dead is also found at the end of Rev. chapter 20.
Does your view agree with what Jesus said in Matt. 25:31-46, where He described the judgment of the sheep and goats, which leaves no mortals alive on the planet at the end of the passage? There are also no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Rev. chapter 19.
Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness?
Does your view agree with what John recorded in Rev. 9:1-2, when an angel comes down from heaven with a key to unlock the pit, which means the pit was locked before that time? Are there wicked angels already in the pit in Rev. 9:11? John recorded angels already "bound" in Rev. 9:14. The beast "ascends" out of the pit in Rev. chapter 11, which means the beast was in the pit before that time.
Take all of the above and compare it to the symbolic language found in Rev. chapter 20, and the fact the Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, and you will have the truth.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order )
Christ returns one time in the future. However, there are several different visions of His return shown from different perspectives in the Book of Revelation.
Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse.
Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb.
Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present?
The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ.
He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18.
The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15.
The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13.
He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet?
He comes on a horse in chapter 19.
Chapter 20?
Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1?
(The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.)
There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46.
Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked before that time? Are there wicked angels in the pit in Rev. 9:11? If the beast "ascends" from the pit in Rev. chapter 11, where was the beast before that time?
Does your view agree with Peter in 2 Pet. 2:4, and Jude in Jude 1:6, when they both said wicked angels are already in chains of darkness?
Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner.
Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book.
The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
Revelation 20 is the first bodily resurrection into the new bodies. U can go on about Lazarus, the daughter of the centurion etc., but they were resuscitated (earthly body) not "resurrected" (perfected/new earthly body) never to die again.
@@arcguardian
The two witnesses are resurrected from the dead and taken up to heaven below.
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Rev 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
You cannot have a time of the judgment of the dead in verse 18 above, without a resurrection of the dead.
The Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, as proven by the scripture above.
@@SpotterVideo that was a literal quote from the vision as opposed to recording of the event. It is chronologically in context, ur however are reading it as if it happens twice when that is simply not the case. Ppl make the same mistake in Genesis when the text describes what happened and how it happened, but they miscomprehend it and get the events out of order.
I have the answer for you, directly from the Bible. And the answer is there is a great many things we are not told about this period of time and a great deal of unanswered questions. That is your answer. If God chose to reveal this to Jesus and then to John, He would have done so. Or possibly God told Jesus not to reveal the details about this period of time to us and Jesus does know. Either way it ends up the same. We don't know because we are not told. That is the answer.
The first resurrection is a resurrection of decapitated souls. I can picture a decapitated body, but I cannot picture a decapitated soul. This is not a bodily resurrection according to the text. Revelation chapter 20 says absolutely nothing about Christ reigning for a thousand years. Read the text carefully when it says "they shall reign." Is Christ plural? Hmmmm. Christ reigns before the thousand years, during the thousand years and after the thousand years. These martyred souls only reign for a thousand years.
Here is the pesher of Rev. 20 :5. At midnight beginning Friday, January 3, 101 AD, counted as the year 4000 by allowing a zero year, the Chief proselyte under the head of Jewish Christians was denied membership. The patriarch of Ephesus took the title 'Blessed Resurrection the First'. ///'The 1000 years'-- Chapter 20 repeatedly uses the phrase ' the thousand years'. This means 'it was year 1000', just as '3 days' means 'on day 3, Tuesday'. Each 1000 of the 4000 was a 'year 1000', & the phrase '1000 years' simply means: the date was the year 4000 from creation'. ///:DEATH'-- A person, the Chief Monk of the monastic system, who had power to excommunicate. The Herodian Magus was the 'First Death' (although the term is not found) & the anti-Herodian Damascus Chief Monk was the 'Second Death'. (Rev. 2: 11, 20: 6, the 0 :14).
So the first resurrection is NOT physical.
Obviously because the people that are beheaded during the great tribulation are dead. John talks about their souls. Obviously the bodies of these saints are spiritual, I assume just like Jesus when he returned after his resurrection.
The thing I find repulsive about the teachings about the millenium is that there is way too much conjecture. We are not told what we would like to know which is most of the questions - why? God chose not to reveal most of the details of the millenium reign of Christ to us. That is what we do know.
@@robertbrown7470 After the resurrection Jesus made a point of proving the physicality of his body by eating fish and honey. He said
"Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.” Luke 24 39
. After his resurrection Jesus said : "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.” Luke 24 39
@@mysticmouse7261 He obviously was not in a physical body as we are. Physical bodies do not walk through walls and doors.
. You obviously conflate physical with natural. Jesus by his own explanation is not a spirit. Obviously.
2:45. Incorrect
First death.
First resurrection
Millennial riegn
Second resurrection unto "the Resurrection of Life; and if they had done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation" John 5:29
The second death
Oversimplified and simply not correct. If you push hard enough, almost any jigsaw puzzle piece could fit in, if it is a similar shape and color… and overall effect will resemble the desired finished product, but will have teeny tiny cracks. Your picture is incorrect - if you are resurrected in the second resurrection you will die the second death!? No, absolutely not.
Your first resurrection is your baptism?! No, not at all. You are simply making your own assumptions.
If you are part of the 1st resurrection (born again) you will never expierence another death. For believers have already died to self and made alive. There are two 1st resurrection the first of firstfruits and last of firstfruits 2000 years apart.
jdaze1 There no such thing as two first resurrections . There is only the first and the second. The first is the rapture . The second is the Great White Throne Judgement
i agree! But can you explain how you came to see that there are two first resurrections? i want to see how you also came to that view
The understanding of the scripture is so very wrong. Please ask the Holy Spirit to help u know the truth before giving an explanation.
Please refer to Tiff Shuttleworth' teaching on this
The original language of the New Testament confirms the truth is Universal Salvation, 1 Timothy 4:10 shows “savior of all men, especially of believers” this means we receive salvation from judgment in Jesus if we are born again and worthy, but everyone else will be saved and live forever as well, God reconciles them through the judgment, the reason the lake of fire is called that is because God called the slavery in Egypt an “iron smelting furnace” and it actually means pool of fire, like a crucible for refining gold, this is the fate of all mankind.
So the millennium started back with the crusaders until now. John says in the beginning of revalation that he is in the tribulation
Steven Taylor No the millennium starts when Jesus comes back
@@christiansoldier77 ok where does the bible specificly say that?
@@steventaylor7716 Revelation 20:4-6
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
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.
@@christiansoldier77 that is an interpretation of that, the awemillanial point of view is that it has already happened. Hmmm, well I am not opposed to the pre million point of view but I am not opposed to the awe millennial view either. I am Lutheran so I tend to lean on the awemillanial view. I don't like to argue only converse politely
@@steventaylor7716 Thats not an interpretation that is what it says
You have to understand that the ones who are blessed, take part in the first resurrection, which is on the last day
And on the last day, there is not 1000 year millennium to come
Therefore, the thousand years is the period of a long time between the cross, and the last day, when the last gentile is saved and resurrected/raptured
Then it all makes sense, because if you are not part of that first resurrection, you are a goat fit to be thrown into the lake of fire, where the sheep are not going
It talks about the thousand years and verse 3,4,5,6
And that is the same word, and the same meaning, and the same period of time between when Christ died Satan was bound and at the great tribulation he is loosed so that he can deceive the nations again. He’s been giving a short time to do it and allowed by God to test his people.
Yes, I do not agree with your interpretations.
I think the truth is this: Pastors, Priests and Bible Teachers need to be honest and tell people that we don't know because God chose not to reveal a lot of detail about the millenium. So, we don't know. We will find out in the end.
Oh, and I must recapitulate just as it’s done and verse eight about Gog and Magog that is the same battle as the Armageddon. These are not places on the earth physically but spiritually the whole world comes against the Saints in the end, and then Christ wins the war but we’re supposed to be winning soldiers for Christ doing this period of time.
Wrong my friend. The beast and false prophet are at Armageddon then thrown into the lake of fire Rev 20:20. And they aren't there in v. 8. Only Satan is there. So they must be 2 different battles. It's not "were" at the end of v. 10. It's actually blank but the older KJV is correct in inserting "are"
Christ already won. The Anti-Christ and the False Prophet have already been thrown into the Lake of Fire. Satan is bound.
So what is Satan being used for, again, after being released after the 1,000 year reign of Christ? Apparently God does not reveal to Jesus and then to John the details we would like to know about this period of time and its purpose or purposes. Satan obviously gathers people to go against Jesus. That is not explained at all. We can conjecture all we want but the bottom line is: We are not told. This is not revealed. There are a great many things we are not told that we can't possibly figure out with the information we are given, which is very little.
Jesus returns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He defeats Satan and a great many people that are left and remain on the Earth are killed in the battle of Armagedon, a 200 million man army. What happens to the people that are not killed, maybe in the billions?
We know that 1/2 of the people on Earth are killed through famine, plagues, war, etc. Right now there are about 8 billion people. Will there be 8 billion when the great tribulation begins. If so, 1/2 of 8 billion is 4 billion people. There is a 200 million man army who are wiped out. If there are several billion people on the Earth at that time, that leaves billions of people. Are all these people changed into spiritual bodies? Does the Bible tell us?
We should deal with what we know and what we are told and not delve too far into things we are not told and do not know.
I'm just getting into this millenium. The teaching is far more convoluted than the teachings and theories about the rapture, like we're going to be beamed out as a Church before the tribulation (even though this is certainly not taught, at least in the Bible, but that doesn't stop whole churches from teaching this anyway to the point that it gets down to the bottom line realization that it would have to be a secret pre-second coming of Christ not found in the Bible.
I disagree
Because the end day is in John chapter 6:39, 40, 44, and 54
It also says in revelation, there is an end day
Daniel agrees with this that the enterprise makes war with the Saints and even though he wins the war we live and reign with Christ for eternity on the last day
The last day is the last day
Matthew chapter 24:29 through 31 proves you go through the great tribulation and then is the resurrection/last day/rapture
Revelation 14 proves that there is a last day when Jesus swings his sickle, and the other angel swings one for the wine press of God
Sheep and goats are judge the same day on the last day
God doesn’t destroy the nations on the last day and then have 1000 year rain and destroy the nations again that would be ludicrous
Or just unthinkable like John Darby and Schofield Bible proves they are not thinking they are in great error and you are listening to their narrative
Nonsense what happens to Armageddon survivors they die too even though jesus said some will never die at all
Second death Revelation 20:6
Revelation 29:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the Second death.
another issue solved by right division ! members of the body of Christ when we die we get new heavenly bodies and we live and dwell in heaven not on the earth we wont be in spirit form we have new heavenly bodies !!!! its Israel before atonement that was promised resurrection not the body of Christ!
1Corinthians 15:39-40 Similarly there are different kinds of flesh-one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are also bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of the earthly bodies.
2 Corinthians 5:1-8 (N.L.T) For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. For we live by believing and not by seeing. Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
Philippians 3:20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
now for justified Israel before the cross !! Israel was always promised resurrection, they had no idea or concept of going to heaven!
Daniel 12:1-2 “At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued. 2Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace.
Daniel 12:13
“As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.”
John 5:28-29
Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.
John 11:23-24
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
“Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.”
Acts 24:15
I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.
Revelation 20:5
But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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.
John 3:13
No one has gone to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
Nope. Sorry but as a biblical scholar I’ve studied this.
Simple explanation. First resurrection you don’t get judged because Jesus took it all and we go from death to life or our body will be changed. The second resurrection, gets judged because Jesus had not come yet so all will be judged according to their works and will either be resurrected or die a second death.
The 1st death for believers is death to the carnal old man, the 1st Adam. The 2nd death for believers is physical death which has no power over us. If we already been made alive by the new birth, spiritual resurrection, we live forever and are "raptured" at physical death to meet the LORD in the air/spiritual realm. Non-bekievers expierence both physical death and and eternal death at the final judgment. Their 2nd death is they perish forever. Separated and forgotten by God.
Semantics. Revelation is clear the second death is Hell.
Scripture says we are born again, so counting ur old man death isn't necessary, we are a new creation.
Wrong
Extremely confusing
That lamp is freakin' me out.
Not just wrong
Mega wrong
It’s a hard pill to swallow the first resurrection is spiritual, I agree the 2 resurrection is bodily.
The first resurrection is mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 at the return of Jesus Christ and will riegn with Him for 1,000 years.
The unbelieving dead will rise after the millennium and will partake in the second death (the lake of fire for eternity).
I’m a bit confused. As believers when Jesus comes back that is considered the “ first resurrection “? Who will reign with him for 1000 years? The dead who rise are non believers??
@mrsanakin1617 At the end of the Great Tribulation, Satan will be locked up in chains for 1000 years. When Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will be resurrected first (first resurrection), and those who are alive and remain will be caught up with them in the air. The church will be with the Lord to partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb while the bowls of Wrath are poured out on the wicked. After the bowls of Wrath are poured out on the Earth, Jesus will come back to the Earth on a White Horse with the multitudes of His saints for the battle of Armageddon. Fire will proceed from the mouth of Jesus and consume the people on the Earth. The Antichrist and the false prophet will be thrown alive into the Lake of Fire.
The church will then go into the 1000 year reign with Christ. But the dead in sin will not be resurrected until after the 1000 year reign.
After the 1000 years Satan will be released from his chains and will go out to deceive the nations again but will not succeed. Then the dead in sin will be resurrected and will be judged at the Whote Throne judgment. Anyone whose name is not in the Lambs book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Then, the Lord will recreate the Earth, and Heaven will come down to the Earth. We will then be with the Lord for eternity.
@@mrsanakin1617 welcome to eschatology. Many debates on this.
None of the judgment passages leave room for 1,000 litteral years in between.
He totally blew it with first and second resurrection. He said first was bodily, then less than a minute later he said the first was spiritual.
Paul spoke clearly. Not all physically die, some in the last generation are alive at the caught up event, the mystery first resurrection (dead rise first) those who are alive and remain meet those who rise from the grave in the air.
Two deaths.
One physical
One spiritual, eternal separation, the second death.
No where in the Bible does it say saving faith is a physical resurrection. Get out of your amil heresy
False explanation. The ones in Rev 20 have been KILLED, not baptized... "I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands." They were beheaded by the beast and martyred.
Your interpretation is muddled and confusing
Your talking s###
He has got it completely wrong 😅
Confused??
