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.

7938. 'This is the Passover sacrifice to Jehovah' means worship of the Lord because of the deliverance. This is clear from the meaning of 'sacrifice' as worship, dealt with in 922, 6905; and from the meaning of 'the Passover' as the presence of the Lord and the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 7097(end), 7867.
