Matthew 24,                    A little smaller still...

1 Corinthians 15,             A little smaller still...

 

 

1Thessalonians 4:16-18,

¹⁶ Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord.

¹⁷ Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.       (first?)

Revelation 20:6               

 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. In these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ; and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Yeah; it's mentioned all right.   You've got to post the PREVIOUS verse to find it: ⁵ The rest of the dead lived not, till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Your reading comprehension is less than what is required to understand Revelation, apparently.

The first resurrection is the first resurrection, not the last one!

The one that you wish to believe is the first resurrection is the resurrection unto judgement and death, not the resurrection unto life eternal.

The first sentence of verse 5 is parenthetical, explaining that there will be another resurrection unto death 1000 years thereafter, and that the resurrection under discussion is not that one, but the first resurrection.

There is none so blind as he who will not see!
