The Resurrection of the Dead

Revelation describes the "First Resurrection" will happen at the very beginning of the Millennium, when the martyrs will be raised to life so they can rule and reign with Jesus Christ. Everyone else will be resurrected at the end of the Millennium.

I Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
