What is the first resurrection?
The first resurrection is the total compilation of all believers of all ages up to the closing days of the tribulation. It includes Christ and the first fruits, the Church Age believers at the Rapture, Old Testament saints, and tribulation believers. After the harvest and gleanings are gathered, the field is swept clean and the resurrection is complete.
Les explains that the first resurrection is the total compilation of all believers of all ages up to the closing days of the tribulation. He likens it to a harvest: Christ and the first fruits were raised at His resurrection, then the main harvest of Church Age believers will be resurrected at the Rapture, and the corners and gleanings represent Old Testament plus tribulation believers. Once the sampling, main harvest, and gleaners have cleaned up the corners, the field is swept clean and it is over. That is the first resurrection.
