Resurrection, the first

  

'The first resurrection,' mentioned in Revelation 20:5, 6, does not mean a first resurrection, but the essence and primary part of resurrection, which is salvation and eternal life. There is only one resurrection to life. A second does not happen, and is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

275. The angels in any given heaven - even the angels in any given community - do not enjoy the same wisdom, but differ. Those in the center have the most wisdom, while those who have less are around them all the way to the borders. The decrease of wisdom according to the distance from the center is like the decrease in light as it tends toward darkness (see above, 43, 128). Further, the light for them is on a consistent level, since heaven's light is divine wisdom and each individual is in light in proportion to his or her acceptance of it. (On heaven's light and the different ways it is accepted, see above, 126-132.)
