The first Resurrection of the Saints already occurred. Scriptural evidence.
Since scripture clearly states that it is appointed for men to die once, then judgment, What of those who came out of the Graves and made themselves know to the people in Jerusalem, when Jesus was Resurrected?

Hebrews 9
23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Matthew 27
50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Wave offering

The wave offering or sheaf offering or omer offering was an offering made by the priests to God (Exodus 29:24, 26, 27; Leviticus 7:20-34; 8:27; 9:21; 10:14, 15, etc.). The sheaf or omer or wave-offering then became the property of the priests. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

They are the wave sheaf offering.

They are with Jesus NOW.

Jesus is High Priest. Revelation 14 tells us what happened to the people who came out of the graves at His Resurrection. NOTE IT USES PAST TENSE VERBIAGE.


Hebrews 6
13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Revelation 14:4
“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”

The women spoken of in Revelation 14:4 are the apostate churches. It is saying the Saints didn't seek after whores, or if you will, false religion.

The first fruits are the wave sheaf, or Omar. They are the Saints that awoke after Jesus was Resurrected.

They were Resurrected. This was the first Resurrection.

2 Corinthians 4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.


7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 Quoting: Pervnoff

Indeed. The poor fellow is so lost and convoluted. I pray their eyes become open.

I do NOT look for a Rapture at all.

I explained the reason for this it in one of Judethz most recent threads. [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

A rapture scenario would consist of a body of LIVING people.

Scripture is quite clear that the dead proceed the living and that doesn't happen UNTIL THE VERY END, when Jesus returns, which is the Second Resurrection, Judgment and Marriage Supper of the LAMB.

These occur simultaneously at the end, when the books are open and people are judged.

In no manner shall the living precede the dead, which is what a rapture would be doing.

Truly, Jesus even says it is the tares that are taken from the world to be cast into the fire in the parable of the Wheat and the Tares.

In that parable, the weeds and the wheat are allowed to grow together. Then, at the time of harvest, the reapers first pluck up the tares for destruction and then move the grain to the barn.

Matthew 27
51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Notice the past tense verbiage. It doesn't say sleep. I says SLEPT. This indicates that those who came out of the grave were redeemed at that time.

Below, Jesus talks about His second Coming. Notice the mention of two flocks?

John 10:16
“And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

Jesus took with Him the faithful blood Israelites who had died prior to His Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection.

It was they who were redeemed at that time.

The other flock are those who died after and include the gentile converts, by spiritual conversion, as described in Acts 11, show to Peter.

Re: The first Resurrection of the Saints already occurred. Scriptural evidence.
Sorry - I have to disagree with your theory.

Under your premise - no "true" Christians were resurrected when Jesus died.

And who would then be "reigned over" during the Millenial Kingdom?

Revelation 20:6 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.

This is why Paul tells us....

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Here's the 2 resurrections...same as what Revelation states.

John 5:29 And shall come forth;

they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and

they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


I'm fairly sure that Father God resurrected the saints at Jesus' death to show the people just how badly they screwed up - to "rattle their cages".

Just as the Temple had been damaged - to rattle the cages of the Sanhedrin. A little known fact about the Temple damage was that the Sanhedrin had to move their meetings to a different place.

What about scripture that tells us everyone is appointed to die once?

Those Saints who came out of the graves, would have had to have gone with Jesus. The bible does call them Saints.

Nor does this prevent 1 Thessalonians from happening, because any Saint after Jesus was resurrected who then died has the assurance of the second Resurrection.

But if everyone is appointed once to die they would not die again after being brought to life. Nor did Christ die again after being resurrected.

This premise is consistent with scripture.

Re: The first Resurrection of the Saints already occurred. Scriptural evidence.
Only the Saints came out of the graves at Jesus resurrection.

All of the evil men still sleep.

Since the bible Identifies them as Saints, is this not evidence that they have already received Judgment?

If that is the case, there is no need of further Judgment for them. Nor would they die again.

And who would then be "reigned over" during the Millenial Kingdom?

Revelation 20:6 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.

This is why Paul tells us....

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Here's the 2 resurrections...same as what Revelation states.

John 5:29 And shall come forth;

they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and

they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


I'm fairly sure that Father God resurrected the saints at Jesus' death to show the people just how badly they screwed up - to "rattle their cages".

Just as the Temple had been damaged - to rattle the cages of the Sanhedrin. A little known fact about the Temple damage was that the Sanhedrin had to move their meetings to a different place.

What about scripture that tells us everyone is appointed to die once?

Those Saints who came out of the graves, would have had to have gone with Jesus. The bible does call them Saints.

Nor does this prevent 1 Thessalonians from happening, because any Saint after Jesus was resurrected who then died has the assurance of the second Resurrection.

But if everyone is appointed once to die they would not die again after being brought to life. Nor did Christ die again after being resurrected.

This premise is consistent with scripture.
 Quoting: Osmium76


Revelation says 2 resurrections.

Those Believers for the Millenial Kingdom.
The non-believers for the final judgement to destruction.

I have no answers for the saints at the time of Jesus' death. For all we know - their still on earth.

Well, by honor of their virtue, we do know they were already Judged worthy and as such, should not need to die again.

Perhaps they are?

Re: The first Resurrection of the Saints already occurred. Scriptural evidence.
In my studying it,

I don't separate the^ damned and saints and identify that as two distinct resurrections.

I see it as one.

What I see are two separately distinct Resurrection periods.

One in which Christ was raised and the other in which He comes back and fulfills the the promise for those who come after.

If it were in the context of a football game, the first resurrection would occur at half time, and the second at the end of the game.

Re: The first Resurrection of the Saints already occurred. Scriptural evidence.
In the context of looking at it in the football game analogy,

The sinners that died prior to Jesus resurrection would be raised only at the end of the game along with everyone who died after be they sinner or Saint.

Those might seem like two resurrections, but it is the same event shared by both groups for that resurrection period.

If you were to draw a line on a piece of paper representing time, and place all men on that line you would see what I mean.

All men from the beginning of time would be on that line, both evil and good.

Then Christ comes and ONLY the good men who died, before He died Himself, are raised up and go with Him.

The dead however, stay on that line sleeping and anyone who dies afterwards joins them on that line, be they good or bad.

Then Jesus come back a second time and all are raised at that time. (during that period)

The Saints, to Salvation and the Dead to the lake of fire.

If I am wrong, I want to know.

If you can show evidence that I am wrong, I will gladly adopt it, but so far, I don't see any.
