Mystery of the Faith Lesson 19 The Resurrection at the 2nd Coming The followers of "The
Faith" believed that there would be one resurrection of the saved and lost
at the end of the world. There were things about the resurrection in
"The Faith" that they did not understand ("Mystery").
The third stage of the
resurrection of the saved is at the 2nd Coming of Christ. In Lesson 17 we found out that not all
the saved were raised at the resurrection of Christ. David was not raised, only 10%
(the tithe, the firstfruits) of the saved were raised. David will be
raised at the 2nd Coming of Christ. Therefore even at the Rapture not all the
saved are raised. At the 2nd Coming of Christ all of the saved will be
raised and this will complete the resurrection of the saved, known as the first
resurrection.
1. In (Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: 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 worshipped 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.), John saw the

What they did not understand was that there would be two classes of
resurrections, the saved (First Resurrection) and the lost (Second
Resurrection).
The resurrection of the saved would be in three stages. Israel was taught
to harvest their crops in three stages, (1) firstfruits (tithe), (2) main
harvest, and (3) the gleaning for the poor. So also would be the
resurrection of the saved, (1) Christ the firstfruits, (2) the main
resurrection of the saved at the rapture, and (3) the gleaning of the saved at
the 2nd coming of Jesus which would complete the resurrection of the saved. 
(Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
years were finished. This is the first resurrection.)
