Returning now to those who "came to life and ruled as kings wiht the Christ," John writes: "This is the first resurrection." (Revelation 20:5b) How is it first? it is "the first resurrection" as to time, for the ones who experience it are "a firstfruits to God and to the Lamb." ( Revelation 14:4) It is also first in importance, since those who share in it become corulers with Jesus in his heavenly Kingdom and judge the rest of mankind. Finally, it is first in quality. Apart from Jesus' resurrection are the only creatures spoken of in the Bible as receiving immorality. - 1 CORINTHIANS 15:53; 1 TIMOTHY 6:16.
