Well.
There is only one first resurrection. Revelation 20:6.
And it takes place before the one rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4:15.
And there is only one second appearing. Hebrews 9:28.
Titus 2:13.

The last day of what?

Could it be the last day of the Church Age that takes place at the Rapture when the Church is taken out of this world?

Revelation 20:4, 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 20:6, 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.

2 Peter 3:8, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Can you show 1000 years between John 5:28-29 and Matthew 25:31ff?

There are lots of things I can't show you plainly in Scripture.

On the other hand, I have studied it from every angle know to man, and the 1000 years has got to be literal.

But don't take my word for it, dig in and see for yourself.

There is a first resurrection and a second resurrection separated by 1000 years.

The first resurrection is given by Paul in 2 Thes. 2 for all the saved back to Adam.

The second resurrection is the resurrection that takes place 1000 years after the first and is the resurrection of the lost, the unjust as Daniel said.

How about these vss?

Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments;[Deuteronomy 7:9]

If this is taken literally, and a biblical generation is ~ 40 years, then this earth has over 37,000 years left.

“For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.[Psalm 50:10]

Obviously there are more than a 1000 hills on earth, so does He not own those cattle on the 1001st hill? The 1002nd hill? The 1003rd hill, &c.?

He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,[Psalm 105:8]

This coincides with my Deuteronomy 7:9 statement.


Many times, thousand doesn’t mean a literal thousand, but an extended length of time or a large number.

Show me the 1000 years betwixt the two resurrections.

When I started a real down to earth study I had to set the "what if's" to the side.

That's what you have here the what if's.

Let's go through it.

In Rev. 20: 6 we have the first resurrection, and we know this is the resurrection of the saved. It plainly says the second death has no power over them. We also know these will reign with Christ for 1000 years.

Vs. 7 the 1000 years have ended, and Satan is loosed from prison (Hell).

Vs. 11 -15 we have the second resurrection of all the lost. They are raised up and judged and cast in the Lake of fire.

So we have 2 resurrections separated by 1000 years.
