“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.”
They 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 for a thousand years - the martyrs who refused the beast's mark are rewarded; they experience the 'first resurrection' and rule with Christ for a thousand years. This is the blessed hope of the faithful.
