You are telling me that God is pouring out His Wrath on His Children?
What I am saying, that I don't think you are seeing, is that verse is told to the wicked unbelievers on earth during His Wrath. His Children have already been Raptured and the First Resurrection has already taken place when that verse you quote is spoken. Obviously, it is not spoken to the church because they aren't appointed to His Wrath and are not on earth when your verse is spoken to the people left AFTER the Rapure.

Revelation has 7 accounts of the end times in several chapters from different views. It is not chronological. Of course, the First Resurrection is AFTER the Tribulation. The Master cannot lie.
Mar 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation...
Mar 13:26 "Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.
Mar 13:27 "And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.
There are not any levels of Believers, only rewards for our works, and Jesus says narrow is the way, and few will find it. All I care about is being one of the ones who overcomes and endures to the end, so I won't be written out of the book of life. Whatever road He lays out for me, I will walk it.
Sorry, but I don't understand the rest of what you said. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
the first resurrection happens in this world before we die in the flesh it happens by faith
“For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so
the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:21-22,
note he speaks as of man is dead first and then is brought into life from death .
all have a sentence of death upon oir soul by Gods own decree first at creation , then
in the law and then in prophecy concluding here as a sure statement of God
“
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin;
and
so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Romans 5:12
sin is death because God has always said it is from the very first to the very last the second death is the eternal judgement upon the souls of men and angels even Satan himself .
And this is the resurrection that pulls us out of hay final judgement of the dead
this resurrection Jesus offers in the gospel
after Jesus tells them of
this resurrection from the death decreed upon all sinners souls ( not our physical death ) but the reference to the place of eternal
Judgement called the second death .
where he says whoever accepts his word and believes will not be condemned and “ has passed from death to life “
that excludes Christian believers in the gospel and his word which he says this again and again , but we pass from this group whining the end still will hear his word and rise to judgement
“For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
And hath given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:26-29 KJV
that’s of course a reference to the last judgement group
“And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:
and
another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were
judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:12-15 KJV
the book of life is the gospel and those who believe and are saved from the second death they are
written in his book but it is based on belief of his gospel
“Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
John 11:25-26 KJV
notice how Jesus says things as of man is already dead when he comes ? And he’s offering a resurrection ? Even though your body dies if you believe you will live” and when you live and believe in me you will never die “
we all have to pass away from our flesh except those who are at the last who are changed . That’s the second resurrection the one of our bodies at the end. It’s about our entire soul being saved body and spirit spirit first and body in the end so there are
two resurrections think spiritually in the nt
first our spirit is saved in this lifetime and then in the end because our soul was saved by Jesus we have a certain promise of an new eternal
Body which is the second resurrection one for the spirit by faith in the gospel the other a promise to come in the end
