In verse four and five we are privy to John’s vision of thrones with individuals appointed authority to judge. These are the same individuals spoken of in chapter four verses four. They are representative of “the elders of Israel or the church or a combination of both (twelve scribes and twelve apostles” according to Hindson. In verse five we are enlightened to the first resurrection. This begins with the Resurrection of Christ and includes those that believed in Him prior to the rapture and those in Him at the time of the rapture. We can identify two individual events here. One is the resurrection and the fact that there will be two. The first will consist of the believers that carry the seal of the lamb and the second will be for those that denied him and are awaiting judgment. With this we can also identify two deaths one that is physical and one that is eternal. The fear that comes with a physical death should be (but often is not) overshadowed by an eternal death. Everyone dies to their physical body but here John is speaking of an eternal death. Where are you going to spend
