'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.

(참조: Apocalypse Explained 6; Apocalypse Revealed 851; Revelation 20:5-6)

The beast ascending out of the earth (Revelation 13:11) signifies confirmations by the natural man of faith, separate from charity based on the literal sense of the Word.

In Revelation 13:11, this signifies confirmation from the literal sense of the Word in favor of this separation, thus falsifying the truths of the church. (Apocalypse Explained 815)
