When does the largest group in the first resurrection take place?
The largest group in the first resurrection takes place at the rapture, the great resurrection day of the body of Christ. This is the second part of the first resurrection, distinct from the firstfruits raised at Christ's resurrection and from Old Testament and Tribulation believers raised later.
Les explains that the first resurrection is the resurrection of the believer, and it occurs in three parts. The first group of resurrected saints came out of the graves at the time of Christ's resurrection and became the firstfruits. The largest group in that first resurrection takes place at the rapture, or the great resurrection day of the body of Christ. Later, the Old Testament believers and Tribulation believers who lost their lives will also be resurrected, probably 75 days after Christ returns. Thus, all believers from Adam until the end are included in what the Bible calls the first resurrection.
