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.

Marriage #35

  
/ 126  
  

35. (to) A wife wishes to think and will what her husband does, and a husband what his wife does, and because each wishes this, each is led by the Lord as if they were one, and the two are a single angel. For when one's will and understanding is not one's own, but another's, and this is mutually so in turn, they cannot but be led by the Lord as if one.
