4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years (Revelation 20:4-6).
There appear from scripture to be two resurrections. The first is the resurrection of the Just and the second is when all others who have ever lived will rise again. All will once again be alive but it is those that are Christ’s that will have true life. This life will be everlasting and will be in the presence of God Himself. This is the restoration of paradise lost in Genesis chapter 3.
