That's a birth now a resurrection. The first resurrection of Revelation 20 is about the first of two groups resurrecting from the dead physically. Those of the first group died as born again Christians in fact it's one of the reasons they were killed.
this isn’t a resurrection ? Coming from death to life isn’t resurrection ?
“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 5:24
I’d say that’s the definition of resurrection to come from death to life
And you mean these two groups ?
“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. ( first group)
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, 1 and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,”
John 5:24-25, 28 KJV
there’s a group that accepts the gospel they have died and rose already with Christ and then there’s another group in thier graves not Christians they already passed from death remember
but the second group has to face this jidgement do you have the ones who accept The gospel and pass from death into life ( resurrection) and then the last judgement we have this group who refused the gospel
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
John 12:48 KJV
I think if you look close you’ll see the last jidgement comes for those who are dead , in the grave in hell they are resurrected at that point but Christians have been passing through this world into the heavens with Jesus as they leave the flesh not going into the grave that’s what happens when we reject the gospel we have to go to the grave and wait till the end
if we are raised with Christ through the gospel we’re just leaving this world and entering the kingdom alive and well and less of a load leaving our flesh behind and putting our spiritual body on
“It is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.”
1 Corinthians 15:44
when our flesh does our spirit goes home to God if we believe of not we have to wait for the second resurrection of the dead here
“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.”
Revelation 20:12-13 KJV
Christians aren’t in hat group they have christs promise here and they believe it
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:51
“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 5:24 KJV
We pass from death and don’t even realize it
“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
see how Christians aren’t in that group of
The dead that are raised ? If they believe Jesus that is. But they are those who the second death has no power over because why ? Jesus promised
“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 5:24 KJV
death has no power over us anymore once we realize this world is temporary and realize the kingdom is forever it’s gravy from there
humans got used to The law of death we all realize we’re gonna die in a few years whether 50 or five but Christ have us something immensely powerful his own promise that we have been saved from condemnation and death already our life is in his life
“If ye then be
risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
Colossians 3:1-3 KJV
when we realize we have to let go of our own life and grab into Jesus life it becomes clear that this is true
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV
we aren’t gonna perish we have been made alive from the dead already
