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.

Psalms 46
1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3
though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.
4
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5
God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
7
Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, see Yahweh's works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
9
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.
10
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."
11
Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
