In the following passage about those who rejoice in Jesus light for "a period of time", the word hora (hwpa) is translated: Niv=time; Nasb=while; Kjv=season; and YLT=hour.
However, it really doesn't matter, however, since Rev 20 explains exactly what John 5:28-29 means.

That's right! A
single period of time. But you have the hour of John 5:28 as
two periods of time, separated by 1000 years. The greek word is
never used in this way.
- The single period of time is coming in which all who are in the graves will... come forth.
John 5:25 also speaks about the hour, meaning a season. But, it means a season where people are living throughout the entire season.
However, it really doesn't matter, however, since Rev 20 explains exactly what John 5:28-29 means.
Isn't it amazing that Jesus had to have a Revelation to explain exactly what He meant. The Roman Catholics also have to have something to explain what He meant and the Mormons as well. Isn't it amazing that the gospel is a closed "book" until the Clarification of John was penned.
