Those who will participate in the 1st resurrection
Premise1: The LORD Jesus who was cursed by His Father[1] and cut off from His Father for us[2], is the 1st firstfruits.[3] It is assumed that the firstfruits except the Son, the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit and the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, are all martyr witnesses. (Other opinions may exist if the Son's death on the cross is regarded as martyrdom.)
Premise2: Think limitedly to the martyr witnesses until the 1st resurrection. In other words, we do not think about the view that there will be another resurrection of the martyr witnesses even after the 1st resurrection. That is to say, we think only of the witnesses who have been martyred from Abel to the end of the great tribulation. We do not think about the view that martyrdom can exist even after the 1st resurrection.
Premise3: There are other martyr witnesses who overcome the beasts in addition to the 144000 firstfruits in the 1st half of the 70th week.[4]
Premise4: It is assumed that God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain only to those who already have God the Holy Spirit who comes as the early rain.
Premise5: It is assumed that God the Holy Spirit will come as the latter rain only on the 144000 firstfruits.
Premise6: Assume that the judgment that is entrusted to those who sit on the throne, is that of the angels.
Premise7: It is assumed that those who sit on the throne to judge and those who will rule are distinguished.[5] In other words, it is assumed that not all who will rule may sit on the throne and judge.
Premise8: It is not certain whether all the 144000 will be able to sit on the throne.
Premise9: We do not know exactly who will sit on the throne, but even if we assume that all 144000 will sit on the throne, we assume that there are others who will sit on the throne besides the 144000.
         (Assuming that those who will sit on the throne are those who will judge the angels, if only 144000 saints can sit on the throne, the treatment of the martyr witnesses before the 70th week who could not sit on the throne even after suffering the same suffering, might seem unfair. Also, Paul reminded the saints of his day to judge the angels.[6] Therefore, there will be other saints who will sit on the throne and judge the angels besides the 144000.
         Even so, seeing that the LORD Jesus promised that the overcomers of the church of Laodicea, symbolizing the church of the last days, would sit on the throne with the LORD Jesus[7], it is speculated that the possibility that the 144000 firstfruits will sit on the throne might be higher than in other times. Of course, I believe that the promises to the victors of the church in Laodicea are not limited to the church in the last days. This is because in one era there can be every churches from the church in Ephesus to the church in Laodicea. The 7 churches to which John sent letters, were all churches of the same era. Therefore, I think that the promises made to the overcomers of each church, can also be received by the churches of the same age. The LORD Jesus promises to the saints of the church in Thyatira the authority of a rod of iron to rule the nations.[8] All martyr witnesses who have been resurrected or transformed will follow the LORD Jesus and rule over the old nations[9], and will also rule over the new nations.[10] It is a promise made to the saints of the Thyatira church, but it means that it is not a promise that only applies to the saints of the Thyatira church.
         Such speculation itself may not make sense. It was assumed that those who would sit on the throne would surely judge, but that assumption could be wrong. In other words, the promise that the LORD Jesus will make them sit on the throne may not be referring to the promise that they will sit on the throne to judge. Put differently, this is because the promise that the LORD Jesus will make them sit on the throne in Revelation 3 may not mean the authority of judgment in Revelation 20.)
Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.
Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
All the martyr witnesses before Pentecost[11] It is presumed that they have reached the martyrdom through the Spirit of Yahweh[12], not God the Holy Spirit[13], because it was the time before the forgiveness of sins was fulfilled by the blood of the LORD Jesus. Therefore, it seems inappropriate to call them the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit. (There may be an opinion that God the Holy Spirit moved upon the saints outside the body of the saints. Then, the Spirit of Yahweh in the old testament would be God the Holy Spirit.[14]) Those who sat on the throne and those who were beheaded
=The saints who are resurrected or transformed by the 1st resurrection
All the martyr witnesses after the day of Pentecost until the beginning of the 70th week
=2nd firstfruits
Saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit[15] (Saints in whom God the Holy Spirit came as the early rain)
The 144000 of the 1st half of the 70th week
=3rd firstfruits=last firstfruits
Firstfruits who are redeemed from among men[16] (Saints in whom God the Holy Spirit came even as the latter rain)
The victors who overcame the beasts of the 1st half of the 70th week[17]
=2nd firstfruits
Saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit (Saints in whom God the Holy Spirit came as the early rain)
 If the firstfruits are not produced, the grain cannot be harvested.[18] The saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit can only be produced after the firstfruits of those who are asleep are produced, and only after the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit are produced can the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men be produced. This is because God the Holy Spirit comes only on the blood of the LORD Jesus[19], and those who do not receive God the Holy Spirit who comes as the early rain, cannot receive God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain.[20] In that sense, the LORD Jesus is the firstfruits of the firstfruits.
 However, since the firstfruits are completed only when the 144000 firstfruits[21], the last firstfruits[22], are produced, no fruits can be harvested unless the 144000 are produced. It means that the resurrection and the transformation cannot occur[23], and the 1000-year kingdom symbolized by the Feast of Tabernacles cannot begin.[24] If the 144000 firstfruits are not produced, the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit also cannot be resurrected or transformed.[25]
 Any martyr witnesses will be raised through the 1st resurrection. Witnesses who were martyred in the old testament times will also be raised through the 1st resurrection. The 2nd resurrection takes place in front of the great white throne only after 1000 years have passed since the martyr witnesses were raised by the 1st resurrection. It means that if the 1st resurrection of life does not occur, the 2nd resurrection of life cannot also occur. In that sense, the saints in the old testament age can also be seen as the firstfruits. However, since the old testament era was before atonement was fulfilled through the blood of the LORD Jesus, God the Holy Spirit did not come into the bodies of the saints[26] in the old testament era.[27] Therefore, in a strict sense, the martyr witnesses of the old testament era cannot be called the firstfruits.
 The harvest[28] is the resurrection and the transformation.[29] Following the resurrection and the transformation, the judgment of the 7 plagues is poured out.[30] Since the 1st resurrection is the harvest of grain, the 7 plagues may probably be the harvest of judgment, that is, the harvest of the clusters of the vine.[31] The harvested grains are martyr witnesses and are raised in the 1st resurrection.[32] Only the martyr witnesses of the old testament era, the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit[33], including those[34] who overcome the beasts[35], and the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men[36], will participate in the 1st resurrection.[37] It does not mean that only the martyr witnesses will avoid the judgment of the lake of fire and be saved[38], but it means that only the martyr witnesses will participate in the 1st resurrection, the better resurrection[39] of life[40] that will reign as royal priests. (Now we do not discuss those who need to be verified.[41])
 The firstfruits who are redeemed from among men are 144000, and they are those who have God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain. Therefore, they may be those who display greater power[42] than any of the firstfruits before.[43] It does not mean that these are greater than the other firstfruits, but that God the Holy Spirit will show the greatest power through them. Because it was not done by humans, only God can be glorified.[44] The greatest firstfruits is the LORD Jesus who showed little power to humans compared to the other firstfruits.
 The creation world falls short of a mote[45] before the Creator Jesus[46] who sustains it.[47] The creation world exists[48] only as long as God the Creator preserves it.[49] What does miracles mean to God?[50] From eternity to eternity, there is only God[51], from beginning to end there is only God.[52] Only God made time[53], and only God is the One who has the beginning and the end.[54] There can be no before God[55], no after God[56], and no outside God.[57] Only God was all, only God is all, and only God will be all.[58] Only God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit were[was] all, are[is] all, and will be all.[59]
[Father=God=Son=God=Spirit / Father≠Son≠Spirit / How dare a creature that cannot escape even time fully understand?]
 We are the witnesses[60] who must testify that there is no other god[61] than the almighty[62] God[63] who transcends[64] space-time.[65]
 Only martyr witnesses[66] participate in the 1st resurrection.[67] Other saints will be resurrected at the 2nd resurrection at the great white throne judgment. If we view the harvest as the 1st resurrection and view all the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed as grain, it means that there is no distinction between firstfruits and grain. However, the timings of the 1st and 2nd resurrections are different, and there are definitely firstfruits that are given before the harvest.[68] Unless we are of the view that only the LORD Jesus is the firstfruits, we must distinguish the firstfruits from the grain.
 There are 3 firstfruits, and the 144000 are the last firstfruits. Since the harvest of the grain, that is, the 1st resurrection, takes place[69] only after it is confirmed that the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men have been produced[70], there may be a view that sees the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men as the firstfruits and the victors[71] participating in the 1st resurrection as grain. This is because only the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men are those who are sealed with God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain.[72] However, in order to support this view, there must be an explanation for why God the Holy Spirit comes even as the latter rain only to the 144000 and gives special treatment only to them. Moreover, among the 3 firstfruits, there is the LORD Jesus, the firstfruits of those who are asleep.[73] The firstfruits who are redeemed from among men should not be regarded as the firstfruits that take precedence over the grain. In any case, in order to become a martyr witness worthy of 1st resurrection[74], we must receive God the Holy Spirit[75], so even if they do not have God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain, all the martyr witnesses in the new testament era are those who have God the Holy Spirit.[76] I think that the martyr witnesses of the old testament era[77] may have reached martyrdom through the Spirit of Yahweh.[78]
 Some view the firstfruits as all the martyr witnesses raised by the 1st resurrection[79] and view the grain as the saints who will be raised by the 2nd resurrection of life at the great white throne judgment.[80] Then, all the martyr witnesses raised by the 1st resurrection will be all firstfruits, and the saints who will be raised by the 2nd resurrection of life at the great white throne judgment will be all grain. Then the harvest in Revelation 14 is the harvest of the firstfruits.[81]
 Can the saints remain on the earth where the 7 plagues are pouring out after the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses are caught up into the air? If they would have refused to worship the beast during the reign of the beast, how could they not have been recognized as martyr witnesses?[82] If there are saints who are not recognized as martyr witnesses even though they have not received the mark of the beast666, and if they can remain on the earth without being resurrected or transformed, they will resist the beast and follow the LORD Jesus to the end during the catastrophe period of the 2nd half of the 70th week, and they will eventually become martyr witnesses. But hasn't the 1st resurrection already happened? After the martyr witnesses have been resurrected or transformed, can there be a resurrection or the transformation of the martyr witnesses again? This will be dealt with later in 'Does the resurrection or the transformation being clothed with the spiritual body occur only once or more than once?'

 

Other names for those who will participate in the 1st resurrection
Witness Those who testify that the LORD Jesus is the Christ[83]
The living Those who obey God's commandments[84]
Bride Members who bear the seed of the Bridegroom, that is, the commandments[85], and have Christ as their Bridegroom as their head.[86]
Adoptee Those who became a slave to sin and became a child of Satan[87] and then adopted as a child of God[88]
(Satan can play as a father to those who have been sold to sin[89], but Satan cannot be the father. The only Father of all creatures is God the Creator.[90] The Father of Satan is also the LORD Jesus who made Helel and still keeps him alive today.[91] To take Adam out of 'sin', not from Satan. It means that it is not needed to pay the price to Satan to get Adam out. Ultimately[92], the price for sin is only to be paid to God[93] who is the lawgiver and judge.[94] The LORD Jesus paid the price for Adam to God the Father.[95])
Firstborn Those who will inherit the Father's inheritance, overcoming Satan who was made earlier[96]
Royal priest Those who worship God as a ruler[97]
Overcomer Those who overcome sin and Satan's deceptions and keep the commandments[98]
Remnant Those who have kept the commandments and survived to the end while others sinned and died.[99]
Fruit(Grain) Those who bear the commandments and submit to the reign of the Son[100]

 



[1] Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

[2] Is.53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

[3] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[4] Rev.7:8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

[5] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.

[6] 1Cor.6:2 Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

[7] Rev.3:21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

[8] Rev.2:26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

[9] Rev.19:15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

[10] Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

[11] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[12] 1Sam.16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

[13] John7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

[14] Ezek.3:14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Yahweh was strong on me.

[15] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[16] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[17] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

  Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood. Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to living springs of waters. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

[18] Lev.23:10 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. In the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh. The meal-offering of it shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. You shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

[19] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[20] Jer.5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

[21] Deut.16:13 You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:

[22] Ex.23:14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year. You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty. And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

[23] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

[24] Ex.23:16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

[25] Deut.16:16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents; and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty:

[26] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

[27] John7:37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

[28] Rev.14:15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!" He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

[29] Matt.24:30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

[30] 2Thess.1:7 and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

[31] Rev.14:18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are fully ripe!" The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia. (connected) Rev.15:1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.

[32] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[33] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[34] Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood. Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

[35] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

[36] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[37] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[38] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

[39] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[40] John5:29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

[41] Luke23:43 Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

[42] John14:12 Most assuredly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to my Father.

[43] Rev.11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[44] Rev.4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!"

[45] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

[46] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[47] Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

[48] Job34:14 If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust.

[49] Acts17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'

[50] Jer.23:23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.

[51] Deut.4:35 To you it was shown, that you might know that Yahweh he is God; there is none else besides him.

[52] Rev.1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

[53] Is.46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;

[54] Is.41:4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.

[55] Is.45:6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

[56] Is.43:10 You are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.

[57] Is.48:11 For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should [my name] be profaned? and my glory I will not give to another. Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.

[58] Is.43:13 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is none who can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?
