Revelation 20:6


Revelation 20:6  KJV  "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:  on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

Interpretation based on the following study:  Supremely blest, possessing the delight and favor of God, marked by fullness from Him to partake of His nature.  Indeed cleansed and devoted entirely for God's use and purpose, joined in intimate union with Him.  He is able to impart and bestow His fullness beyond measure to us, to revive and recover us in His strength, to lean upon and return to rest in Him.  He returns us to the original faith and trust in complete and full knowledge.  Following, separation and conscious existence separate from God ends, never again to rise and have power.  Indeed and verily, it shall come to pass, we shall be set apart to God to fully belong to Him, to resemble Him in His likeness.  We shall be joined in union with Him, our One True God, stablished by the Holy Spirit, in Christ, by His virtue that pervades and penetrates our whole nature, subduing everything within, to furnish all that is needed.  We are to belong to our King in a relation of proximity and participation, to be ruled and governed by Him, over a large period and generation.
