My bad, I should have said Amills and Postmills.
[quote:1a58a7bb15]4I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God.

[b:1a58a7bb15]They[/b:1a58a7bb15] came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.[/quote:1a58a7bb15]
Who is the "they" (that I highlighted)? It says "they" (second "they"
came to life. Now, is this the "they" (first "they" who were beheaded? It doesn't seem that there is a change of the noun. Wouldn't that make the "they", people who were physically de@d?

So, the "they [i:b4857835b5]came[/i:b4857835b5]" is referring to when they were physically alive, they were SPIRITUALLY alive. This "they" is still talking about the martyers, right? If so, the "came" is past-tense.

[quote:c6ba3e4d09="Ranger"]I don't understand how Dispensationalists can claim that there are multiple physical resurrections in Rev. 20 in light of John 5:29 which teaches one resurrection to life, and one to judgment? Any insights?[/quote:c6ba3e4d09]
Is it just Dispensationalists? Don't classic/historic premils also teach two physical resurrections?
