The Resurrections

“The Resurrections” illustration is based on 1 Corinthians 15:22-25 and Revelation 20:4-6.

“22. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.”

1 Corinthians 15:22-25

“4. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years..”

Revelation 20:4-6
