'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.

(Mga Sanggunian: Apocalypse Explained 6; Apocalypse Revealed 851; Revelation 20:5-6)

6386. 'And his side will be towards Sidon' means the extension on one side into cognitions of good and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'side' as the extension on one side; and from the meaning of 'Sidon' as exterior cognitions of good and truth, dealt with in 1201.

In this section dealing with Zebulun reference is made to cognitions, religious teachings, and factual knowledge. And the phrases 'the extension on one side into cognitions of good and truth' and also 'truth inferred from known facts in which teachings drawn from the Word are present' are used, so let it be said what differences are being drawn here between these terms. Teachings consist in what is derived from the Word, cognitions in what is derived from those teachings on one side and factual knowledge on the other, while factual knowledge consists in what is derived from one's own and other people's experience.
