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 hundred

  

'Three hundred,' as in Genesis 6:15, signifies remains. In general, 'three hundred' signifies fullness, because the number comes from three and a hundred multiplied. Both 'three' and 'a hundred' signify fullness. The significance of products or sums of numbers is seen in the simple numbers that factor into them.
