Predictions relating to Jerusalem's Tribulation, and the Coming

Illustration of Scripture,

" 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 ezesan,

lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of

the dead, anazesan, lived not again till the thousand years were

finished. This is the first anastasei, resurrection. Blessed and holy

is he that hath part in the first anastasei, 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."-Rev.
