Who has part in the first resurrection according to Revelation 20:6?

According to Revelation 20:6, those who have part in the first resurrection are all believers from Adam through the end of the tribulation. They are called blessed and holy, and they shall be priests of God and of Christ and reign with Him for a thousand years.

Les points back to Revelation 20:6, where the blessed and holy are said to have part in the first resurrection. He identifies that group as all believers from Adam through the end of the tribulation. They will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. He notes that Revelation 20:4 may sound like only tribulation people rule and reign, but Scripture must be taken with Scripture. Revelation 5 likewise says believers are made kings and priests and shall reign on the earth with Christ.

Revelation 20:6

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.
