There is a unique group of people described in Revelation 20:4-6; and as with most elements of Revelation, there are many views on what they could represent. Pastor Voddie makes the case that these people are the children of God, and puts a special emphasis on martyrdom and what it looks like today.

“ Great Sermon! ” Nothing here of martydom. The mark we have is spiritual (Rev.22.3).
The first resurrection is rising with Christ (Col.3.1) at the Cross, a body of the church that leaves behind the body of the world.
The second is bodily resurrection. Without the first resurrection no person can be saved.
The book of the revelation of Jesus Christ covers the entirety of history, from the fall to the end of the world.
There is one way of interpretation.
1). Metaphorical
2). Historical
3). Doctrinal
The illustrations do not run chronologically, the preacher is correct here.

“ Clarification ” So is the "first resurrection" the new birth or is the "first resurrection" the believer waking up in heaven after death? You taught both!

“ Great Sermon! ” I've always had trouble with understanding the various millennial doctrines. I like what Voddie says in this presentation, he makes the complicated easier to understand and is faithful to the truth of the gospel and the truth about who God is and who we are in Christ. Excellent info, thank you for having it available for our growth and sanctification in Jesus.
