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.

3510. 'Behold, I listened to your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying' means that the desire of the Divine Good of the Divine Rational was for the affection for good. This is clear from the representation of Isaac, to whom 'father' refers here, as the Divine Good of the Divine Rational, dealt with already; from the meaning of 'speaking' as willing, dealt with in 2626, 2951, 3037; and from the representation of 'Esau' as the affection for the good within the natural, dealt with above in 3508.
