No Death for the Wicked What is the meaning of Rev. 9:6? This Scripture reads: “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” This is a part of the great tribula tion. The record of the trumpet judg ments, of which this verse is a part, is descriptive of the terrible judgment that will come upon apostate Chris tendom when the “ great delusion” of Second Thessalonians 2:11 is on. So great will be the mental and spir itual agony that some apostates will attempt to commit suicide to escape those days, but God will not allow them to do so. Let us be thankful that, when those days are running their course, the true church will have been translated to heaven. The First Resurrection Please explain Rev. 20:5, “ This is the first resurrection.” If the dead are raised prior to the tribulation, how could this be the first resurrection? Revelation 20:5 refers to the tribu lation saints, who are included, in God’s reckoning, in the first resurrec tion; i.e., the resurrection of believers on the Lord Jesus Christ. The trans lation of the church before the trib ulation and the resurrection of the tribulation saints at the close of the tribulation—these constitute the “ first resurrection,” called in Luke 14:13, 14, “ the resurrection of the just,” and in John 5:29, “ the resurrection of life.” W h at is the Millennium? W ill you please explain the mil lennium. The word millennium means 1,000 years. It is the kingdom promised to David and his descendants in 2 Sam. 7. It will be in a time when the earth will be restored to something of its former glory (Isa. 11:3-5) and when all men will be under the im mediate rule of the kingdom (Ps. 2:- 10-12). Revelation 20:1-10 gives us the actual number of years of this reign. It is Christ’s reigning as the Son of David on David’s throne in Jerusalem with the Church as His Bride and Israel as His governors (see Matt. 19:26; 25:31; Isa. 9 :6,7; Micah 5:1-5 and many other pas sages).
