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.

383. His name was Death, and hell followed with him, signifies eternal damnation. This is evident from the signification of "name," as being the quality of a thing (See above, n. 102, 148), here the quality of the Word with those who are in evils and in falsities therefrom; also from the signification of "death," as being damnation (of which also see above, n. 186, for spiritual death is nothing else; also from the signification of "hell," as being evil and falsity therefrom, since in these and from these hell exists. Moreover, "hell" has the same signification as "death," namely, damnation; but as both are here mentioned, and thus hell is distinguished from death, "hell" signifies eternal damnation, for those who come into hell remain there to eternity; therefore it is also said, "and hell followed with him," "to follow with him" signifying to abide therein, namely, in damnation to eternity. From this it can be seen that "his name was Death, and hell followed with him" signifies eternal damnation.
