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)  

The First Resurrection

The greatest event in the history of human beings will happen as written in Revelation 20:6.  The First Resurrection start on the Day of the Lord or the second coming of Jesus Christ, the Savior.  Jesus Christ has promised: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:3).

Who will take part on the Day of the Lord?

They who will take part on the Day of the Lord are souls who grasp the grace of the Lord, listen to words of GOD, follow His messengers whom walk in front, faith until the end, and stay as the overcomer.

As children of GOD we are called to take part on the Day of the Lord.  We must be aware about it and believe it, eventhough we can't imagine as human beings.  Deeply thanks, great joy, and intimate love for GOD and His Son fulfill our hearts, and with fear of GOD we stay before GOD's great grace that He will grant for us.

What will happen in the First Resurrection?

When the Lord Jesus Christ comes again, souls in the beyond (who dead in GOD), who has been ready for that, will be resurrected first.  Then souls of the Bride of Christ who still live in earth shall all be changed.  They shall be not earthly die, but they shall have a new body.  Then all of them, as the Son of GOD was ascensed, shall be ascensed into heaven (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:17).

On the Day of the Lord Jesus will appear as a Bridegroom, to pick up His Bride to take part in the Wedding of the Lamb.  The Bride of Christ is souls who complete all prerequisites and give themselves to be prepared.  All preconditions needed are rebirth with water and the Spirit (cf. John 3:5) and taking part in the Holy Communion to eat His flesh and drink His blood (cf. John 6:54).

They who are not belongs to the Bride of Christ will be in the great tribulation.  But God grants salvation to the martyrs: They receive the grace of Jesus Christ (illustrated by the picture of the white robes – Revelation 7:13), take part in the First Resurrection and reign as priests together with Christ a thousand years.

When the Day of the Lord will happen?

No one knows the exact time about this, only GOD knows.  But signs and current conditions, which work of the Holy Spirit will be completed and the Lord's Bride say: "Lord Jesus, come!", show us that Jesus' promise will be fulfilled.
