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.

Arcana Coelestia #1677
1677. Verse 7 And they returned and came to An-mishpat, that is, to Kadesh, and smote all the territory of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites inhabiting Hazezon-tamar.
'They returned and came to An-mishpat, that is, to Kadesh' means a continuation. 'And they smote all the territory of the Amalekites' means kinds of falsities. 'And also the Amorites inhabiting Hazezon-tamar' means kinds of evils derived from these.
