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.

3511. 'Bring me venison' means truth acquired from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'venison' as truth acquired from good, dealt with above in 3501.
