First Resurrection
"Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (Revelation 20:6 NKJV) The celebration of the distasteful legalization of immorality and un-righteousness across the world may appear a distraction to holy living. Actually, it helps to separate the wheat from the chaff. Soon and very soon, the righteous of the Lord will be cut off from the polluted scene. The darkness of the present age will only be a concern for the unfortunate bride, who will be part of the 7-year tribulation period thereafter. The raptured bride will be saved by grace through the atoning blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, while the tribulation bride will be saved by her own blood. Either way, the bride of Christ is blessed, holy, and will be a worthy partaker of the First Resurrection.
