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

 

Book

  

In Revelation 10:9, "And I went unto the angel, saying, give me the little book," signifies the faculty of perceiving the quality of the Word from the Lord.

In Psalm 40:7, this signifies the Word. (Apocalypse Explained 299, Coronis 60)
