Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
So the way I read this.... The people were told, by Satan's cohorts they had to be sealed to survive. The people were told they had to be part of the right church, shop in the right store, drive the right car, and they should proudly sport a tag [tattoo] designed by Satan. Those who gave in to social order...and sealed themselves for the whim of Satan and his cohorts.... they were sealed.... and at the moment of that decision....their fate was sealed. Those who didn't get sealed.... they are Believers. They were massacred by Satan and his cohorts because of their faith. After the earthquakes, meteorites, and meteors..... after Jesus and the 144,000 hand picked troops slaughtered all the unbelievers..... the Believers came back to life.... and they ruled with Jesus.... they had shown their Belief. They faced Satan and chose to stay on God's side. Satan murdered them..... God brought them back. While, I might add... the ones who took the seal, all fell in the battle with Jesus and His 144,000 hand picked troops. Those unbelievers or disbelievers stayed dead as a doornail.... food for the birds and animals.
Verse 5 says this is the first resurrection. Wow... we'll see millions and millions of dead humans being fed on by birds and animals.... but we'll be alive again!
Can you imagine?
Will you be "sealed" or "unsealed"?
