"According to Ladd, any interpretation which tries to make the first resurrection spiritual while the only the second is physical does violence to the text.... To premillennialists, it's as simple as that."

What do you make of John 5:24-29? If John there speaks of two resurrections (the first spiritual, the second physical), why can't he do exactly the same thing in Revelation 20?

Al,

I do think the first is spiritual--I am postmillennial. This post is from my Sunday school class in which I am covering all four major views.

I feel really stupid now! :-P

And even more stupid because I also made this same comment on an earlier posting by mistake.
