15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Commentary

 

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.

Commentary

 

Three and a half

  

In Revelation 11:9, this signifies to the end and the beginning, or to the end of the present church and the beginning of a new church. (Apocalypse Revealed 505) It also signifies the same as a week because it is half of seven. (Apocalypse Revealed 505[2])
