Verse 5 is found in chapter 20 of Revelation. John sees thrones and those given authority to judge, together with the souls of those beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and the word of God. They live and reign with Christ for a thousand years. This is called the first resurrection, while the second death has no power over them. The section presents the vindication of those who were defeated and killed by the world system: they now participate in Christ’s reign.
