The two resurrections

[Cardinal]

 :cloud9: It's in there (pertaining to the saints that rose with Him)..........Egypt is a type of the flesh which leads to death, ie. to be carnally minded is death, and He rolled up the waters of the sea which is as death, bringing them up out of the waters of death to be led into the promised land, a type of the resurrection. Which is why an evil heart of unbelief can keep us from entering into His rest/resurrection WHILE STILL IN THE BODY, just as it kept them from entering into the promised land. Note He didn't tell them they had to die to enter into the promised land. He told them they would die (in their sins) and not enter in, because of their unbelief.

They died, without hope, as a result of unbelief. The reason why there is a judgment after death, is because without entering into the "promised land" while still in the body, we die in our sins. Yes, men with forgiven (covered) sins still die. The blood of "bulls and goats" (our slaughtering our carnal flesh nature on the altar, ie. dying to self), only COVERS the sin, it does not REMOVE it. The veil of HIS flesh, which is SPIRIT, yields the blood which is SPIRIT, that removes all sin. Christ the SPIRIT, IS the firstfruits offering, and no other offering will do. And only the Father can both provide and rend this veil, for no man comes to the Father, except the Father call him. This is the superior resurrection (while still in the body) and no man will attain it unless the Father wills it. These are those that are born of the water AND the SPIRIT.

Nevertheless, those that died without hope (without Christ in them, the hope of glory), were brought into the Kingdom as He began to reconcile all things, whether they be in the earth, or UNDER THE EARTH, or in the heavens, to Himself, as the covenant was cut.

Phip 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Deuteronomy 33:1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

Psalms 50:1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

Zec 14:5 - And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Jude 8:14 - And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints.........Blessings to all......
