Christians reign with Christ for 1000 yrs: Rev 20:4-6
A. Souls of the beheaded
Revelation 6:9-11
Revelation 20:4
Souls of the slain
Souls of the beheaded
Underneath the altar
Sitting on thrones
Crying for judgment
Given judgment
Scene of defeat
Scene of victory
B. Christians reign with Christ now:
Christ reigns from resurrection to second coming: 1 Cor 15:22-28
Sitting at right hand of God: Acts 2:30-31; Heb 1:3,8; 10:12-13
premillennial theory denies that Christ reigns now at all
Christians reign with Christ: Eph 2:5-6; Rev 5:9-10; Rom 5:17
premillennial theory denies that Christians reigns now
C. Qualities of the faithful:
Beheaded because of Message of Jesus and the word of God
Had not worshipped the beast or his image
Had not received the mark upon forehead and hand: 13:16-19 vs. 14:1
God marked the righteous: 3:12; 7:3; 9:4; 14:1; 22:4
Beast imitates by establishing a policy that all the marked the
wicked are marked
Which mark you do have?
D. Two categories of men:
RIGHTEOUS: Mark of God
WICKED: Mark of beast
Came to life & reigned for 1000 years
Remained dead through the 1000 years
Where part of first resurrection
Were part of second resurrection
Second death has no power
Died the second death
Reward of heaven
Cast into lake of fire-hell
E. Not speaking of a physical resurrection:
A figurative resurrections are mentioned in: Isa 26:19; Hos 13:14;
Ezek 37:1-14
Jn 5 contains both a spiritual and physical resurrection:
Spiritual: hour now is...those who hear Jesus shall live: Jn 5:25;
Jn 3:3-5
Physical: Wicked & righteous will be raised at same moment: Jn 5:28
F. Not speaking physical death:
Death in greek, thanatos primarily denotes separation, not ceasing
to exists.
Physical death means body and soul are separated:
Eccl 12:7 soul return to God body return to dust
Gen 25:8,17 Abraham died and was gathered to his people
Spiritual death means man and God are separated:
Isa 59:1-2 Your sins have made a separation between you and God
Gen 2:17 The day you eat you shall surely die (They didn't died
physically)
Lk 15:24 of prodigal; "this son of mine was dead, but now he is
alive"
1 Ti 5:6 an immoral woman is dead even while she lives

Physical death
Separation of body and soul
Spiritual death
Separation of man and God
Spiritual salvation
Sin removed, man and God reunited
Death is a separation not a ceasing to exist!
