I wish this was in English 🙁
still not in English. This chiliasm now called premillenialism is infiltrating the churches. It was condemned by the Second Ecumenical Council in 381 a.d.
If we are in the first resurrection now and only one left exists when Christ returns, why does scripture say "and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” ? (rev 20).
The Bible clearly shows us what is meant by the 1st Resurrection in that its after the Antichrist and Great tribulation period.
If no period of 1,000 years exists between 1st and 2nd resurrection then who are the nations that Saints will rule over if they die in Christ? (rev 2:26) – how can we reign over the un-glorified resurrected sinners if they are all in hell ?
