Revelation 20:4-6

2. The resurrection of tribulation martyrs 20:4-6

". . . it is not difficult to see why the early church understood John to be teaching a millennium in Revelation 20. Three arguments support this interpretation: (1) the teaching of two resurrections, (2) the binding of Satan, and (3) the ruling of the saints with Christ." [Note: Robert L.
