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.

6382. Verse 13 Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the seas, and he will be at the haven of ships; and his side will be over towards Sidon. 'Zebulun' means the dwelling together of goodness and truth. 'Will dwell at the haven of the seas' means a life in which truth inferred from known facts is present. 'And he will be at the haven of ships' means in which teachings drawn from the Word are present. 'And his side will be over towards Sidon' means the extension on one side into the cognitions of good and truth.
