Thanks for the help. In my previous post here I asked the following, to which you've not yet confirmed my points of understanding, nor yet completed your explanation by corresponding the two resurrections to John 5:25-28. I really would appreciate your follow up.
Here's my previous post for your convenience:
the_doc: The so-called second resurrection is found in the parentheses in v.5 ("lived not again until...")
So, if I follow correctly, implicitly then the dead at the white throne judgement are the 2nd "resurrection". Right?
Rev 20:11-14
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 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. 13 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. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And so upon the 2nd "resurrection" these souls are immediately judged to condemnation, the 2nd death (according to works, not according to justification in Christ). Right?
Since they were already dead spiritually and physically, and condemned (thus not spiritually resurrected), their resurrection was only physical for the purposes of judgement and condemnation. Right?
But your answer didn't include corresponding these two resurrections to John 5:25-28. Could you do that please?
I would say that the so-called "first resurrection" found in Revelation 20:4, 5b, and 6 is the regeneration phenomenon mentioned in John 5:25. The idea of "lived not again until the thousand years were over," presented in Rev. 20:5a, is the so-called "second resurrection" and corresponds to the episode described in John 5:28-29.
