5
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis 2:5
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.

Nile, or river of Egypt
'The Nile' or 'river of Egypt' represents the sensory things subject to the intellectual mind and the ideas derived there. This is because they are the extreme parts of the spiritual things in the Lord's kingdom.
