In Revelation 20:4-6, the resurrection of believers is called the ____ resurrection.

• A. Second
• B. Final
• C. Eternal
• D. First

Answer: (D)

The believers’ resurrection is described as the first resurrection. Revelation 20:4-6 speaks of those who are blessed to share in this resurrection and notes that the rest of the dead do not live again until the thousand years are finished, showing a clear sequence. This wording—“the first resurrection”—is the biblical label used to distinguish the resurrection of the saints at Christ’s return (and their reign with Him) from the later resurrection of the dead at the end of the millennium. Because the passage explicitly names it as the first resurrection and connects it with reign with Christ and avoidance of the second death, that term is the accurate one. The other options don’t fit the text’s language or sequence: the passage does not call it the second, final, or eternal resurrection.
