Please try the other two. 2.30 and 3.30
Firstly, I didn't create these particular quizzes 1.30, 2.30 and 3.30 to push doctrines which some may see as controversial. Just purely about bible knowledge. Hence the reason why I avoided questions whose answers cannot be found directly in the bible. You would have noticed that the explanations are simply copy/pasted directly from the bible.
For this particular question about the first resurrection, I pasted an explanation from the apostle Paul.
1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
This is a resurrection. I understand that you don't agree with the serial numbering I gave to it namely: "first" resurrection.
From the resurrection scripture you quoted above, if I understand you correctly you seem to mean these timings:
"the hour is coming" (2nd)
"and now is" (1st)
Correct me if this isn't your meaning.
If it is true that the resurrections that Jesus performed while he was on earth should be categorised as "first", while that which Paul spoke of is the "second", or at least "not first", then how do you interprete this passage in the book of Revelation?
Revelation 20:5-6
5. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Is the first resurrection here referring to people whom Jesus raised while he was on earth, like Lazarus and Jairus' daughter?
All of them being mortals must have died again later.
It is obvious that Paul speaking to the Thessalonians was referring to what the book of revelation calls the FIRST resurrection.
