When will the Old Testament saints be resurrected, and what will their role be at the marriage supper?
Old Testament saints, Daniel’s company, will be resurrected sometime after the kingdom has begun, not in a general resurrection. They are part of the first resurrection of believers. At the marriage supper of the Lamb, they will be more or less the wedding guests at that great supper.
Les explains that the resurrection categories include the lost, Daniel’s company—the Old Testament saints—the body of Christ, and the tribulation saints. The first resurrection of believers includes the firstfruits, Christ Himself as the firstfruit, the main harvest of the church-age believer, and then the Old Testament saints. Daniel’s company comes on the scene sometime after the kingdom has begun. At the marriage supper of the Lamb, they will be more or less the wedding guests at that great supper. The lost are not resurrected until after the kingdom has ended.
