Part 2
First Resurrection
Rev 14: 15,16
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is
ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. (And
now the second harvest 45 days later)
Rev 14: 17-19
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And
another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him
that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the
earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the
vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. (this is the second
harvest, but it’s a judgment as these are all the ones killed at the battle of Armageddon that
attempt to fight the Lord and us)
(But does this coincide with the rest of Revelations, so let’s continue on to Chapter 20)
Rev 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls
of them that were beheaded (beheaded that sounds a bit violent…and it will be) for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years. (Oh, I get it, you have to suffer for the Lord and serve the Lord and
actually fight against the evil one by standing up for your convictions and faith to become one of the
redeemed ones from the earth. For it is only then that you will become a king and priest upon the
earth during the Millenium …or thousand years after the Battle of Armageddon)
Rev 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection. (Sorry, just saying a one time prayer doesn’t seem to cut it with the Lord, as all
the rest of the those living in the End-time that die in the trumpets and vials of the Tribulation and
Wrath of God, do NOT rise again according to scriptures but have to wait for the Great White
Throne Judgment at the End of the Millenium. Ther first resurrection is only for the obedient
Christians that followed their Lord wheresoever He directed and loved Not their lives unto their
own deaths serving HIM.)
Rev 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (O.
K. by now we should be able to see this truth because the Lord said it once again. He only
resurrects His obedient ones, because only they will be useful in helping Him rule during His
Millenium….Why would He resurrect those that were shallow and flippant and half hearted.)
( 1Pe 2:9 But (we) are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that (we) should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had
not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.)
In Our Humble Opinions, because Joy got this same thing from reading Revelations this week as I
got separately, and as so many other of the Lord’s people have figured out. So do read the
posting “Thousands and Not Millions� and “144000 Only ??� for further
confirmations from different scriptures if needed.
And pray for the Grace of God that we all are found worthy to enter into the Lord’s
Encampment even if we die along the way in the Lord’s Service.
For one life will soon be past and only what is done for Jesus will last. We have to reach the lost
and alone and forsaken lost sheep of the house of spiritual Israel while we can.
