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.

1881. Spirits are highly indignant, indeed they are irate, when told that men do not believe that spirits see, that they hear, and that they feel by touch. They have said that men ought to know this much, that without sensory awareness there is no life, and the more superior that awareness is, the more excellent is the life; that the objects perceived by people's senses are perfectly suited to the excellence of their sensory awareness; and that the representatives which derive from the Lord are real existences, for they are the source from which all things in the natural order and in the world exist, 1632. They are words expressing their indignation when spirits declare that they possess far better and more excellent sensory awareness than men.
