How Many Resurrections Are There?

How many resurrections are there.

The last book in the holy Bible mentions only one complete resurrection. What I mean by complete resurrection is when Christ resurrects all the dead and living, which is called the white throne judgment in chapter 20:8 of Revelation.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

   John 5:28-29  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.

The holy scriptures do mention several partial resurrections. What I mean by partial is when Jesus Christ resurrects those in paradise (the spirit world of rest and peace for Christians).

Only after Jesus resurrected to the throne of God, he came back and resurrected the Old Testament saints in paradise.

 Mathew 27: 52-53. ⁵² And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, ⁵³ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. See flyer titled (“who are the 24 elders around God’s throne.)

 The bible also says at this time he went and preached to the spirits that had been disobedient in the days of Noah.

1^st Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:¹⁹ By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; ²⁰ Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water

He went to preach to those souls who perished in the flood, because the bible says where there is no law the people are blameless, and since the 10 commandments and the law came several hundred years after the flood, Christ gave the souls who perished in the flood who were in hell at the time, another opportunity to repent. So they could also be saved. What a merciful and compassionate God.

This resurrecting of the Old Testament saints and the spirits in prison that repented would have been the 1^st partial resurrection of those in paradise. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

The 2^nd partial resurrection of those in paradise would have been of the 12 apostles and all those martyred for Christ from the time Jesus Christ resurrected in 33 a.d. to right before 1290 a.d. right before the dragon was kicked out of heaven.( See flyer titled “ when were the 12 apostles resurrected” )

Mathew 5: 24- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

The 3^rd partial resurrection is the 7^th trumpet in which we await. All who died for Christ, from 1290 a.d. until Christ comes; including those who are alive in Christ at his coming will be resurrected. The rest of the dead will not come back to life until the white throne judgment.

John: 6: 47 ^{47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life}
