So how about the resurrection and rapture of the Two Witnesses in CH.11? That is the only resurrection in the chapter that doesn't have to be read into it.
How about the resurrections that are spaced one thousand years apart? Clearly not the same resurrections.
Only by ignoring sequence can one possibly make the First Resurrection the first in sequence, seeing it is impossible to make the Two Witnesses raptured at the end of the Tribulation.
Let's start there.
God bless.

Its humorous this post is actually the most relevant I've seen yet and you identify it as off topic.
I disagree with the above. There are not seven resurrections in Revelation.

28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
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.
One of the thieves was saved, the other was not. Both will be raised in the General Resurrection as clearly shown in the above Scripture! -

Yours cannot.
Address post 41. You have disrupted this thread enough already.

John 5:28, 29:
28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
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.

Just my opinion but I lean towards Old Testament Saints rising in the Rapture. Abraham is said to be a part of the Kingdom which would imply resurrection and seeing that the Old Testament Saints have been perfected through the Work of Christ (perfection is not glorification) I see them as falling into the category of dead in Christ.
I would add that we do not see physical resurrection when Christ returns other that the Tribulation Martyrs, which could be raised physically only, and live one thousand years seeing men live longer in the Kingdom, but glorification seems more likely.

Show why the Two Witnesses are not resurrected and raptured as Scripture clearly states. Show how the resurrection that is not present in Revelation 11 (though you read one into the text because through a spiritualization of the text and shoddy cross referencing that also ignores the text's meaning), the First Resurrection, and the resurrection just prior to the Great White Throne are all the same resurrection.
Address it or find another thread.

John 6:48-59
48. I am that bread of life.
49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Your turn. Show why the Two witnesses are not literally two men who are resurrected and raptures.
That is what Scripture teaches. Can't be denied.
Secondly, you have been asked specifically about these three distinct resurrections in Revelation. Christs resurrection doesn't take place during the events depicted in Revelation.
Third, you show me the resurrection shown in John, not Revelation.
And lastly you hgavwe failed to show which of the events in revelation that resurrection is and why the others resurrections are not separate resurrections.
In the First Resurrection it is clear unbelievers are not raised. In the resurrection before the Great White unbelievers are raised as prophesied when the First Resurrection takes place.
And the resurrection and rapture we actually see in chapter 11...only two literal men are raised.
Your turn.
God bless. -
You have avoided actually answering the texts and questions posed to you.
As pertaining to resurrection there are without question three clear resurrections: the Two Witnesses, the First Resurrection, and the resurrection just prior to the Great White Throne.
Why are they not resurrections? Despite the fact that Revelation is clear they are.
God bless.
