Revelation 20:5 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

first resurrection

The "resurrection of the just" is mentioned in (Luke 14:13); (Luke 14:14), and the resurrection of "life" distinguished from the "resurrection unto damnation" in (John 5:29). We here learn for the first time what interval of time separates these two resurrections.

( See Scofield) - (1 Corinthians 15:52).

Revelation 20:5

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