In this stirring sermon, Brother John Nations of White Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church takes us deeper into the mysteries of the Book of Revelation. Continuing his enlightening series, he sheds light on chapter 20, verses 5 through 8, unpacking the divine significance of the ‘First Resurrection.’ He brings these verses to life, exploring their profound implications for our spiritual journey and urging his congregation—and every viewer—to accept Christ as their savior. Only by this acceptance, he contends, can we hope to be part of the first resurrection and experience eternal life.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
