Revelation 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not. If "the souls of the martyrs"
live again spiritually and morally upon the earth in the millennial
period, as I have explained, then this statement is to be explained in
harmony (see PNT "Re 20:4"). The rest of the "dead lived not"
until the thousand years were finished. Until the end of the
thousand years. The sublime faith of the martyrs pervades the saints
during this period, and other men, wicked or less noble, sleep in
silence, unseen and unknown, without influence upon the earth, until
the millennial period is ended. They have no part of
the first resurrection, of the spirits of the martyrs.
