1. In (Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.), John saw the souls that were raised at the 2nd Coming

3. When the third stage of the resurrection of the saved is completed, at the
     end of the tribulation period, then this concludes the resurrection of the
     redeemed, which is also known as the  resurrection.  
(Revelation 20:5-6 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.)
4. Hymenaeus and Philetus preached that the resurrection is  already.
  (2 Timothy 2:17-18 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.)
  A. Was this preaching the truth?

  B. Did this preaching help anyone?  
(2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.)
  C. The preaching, that when a saved person dies, they go to heaven and there is no bodily resurrection or a life again on the earth, overthrows the faith of those who hear this and may cause them not to live a victorious life now. True or False  
5. "Now if Christ be preached that he  from the dead,  say
    some among you that there is  resurrection of the dead?"
      (1 Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?)
6. "But if there be  resurrection of the dead, then is Christ
       risen:"  
(1 Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:)
7. "And  Christ be not risen, then is our  vain,
    and your  also vain."  
(1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.)

     testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised  up,
      so be that the dead  not."  
(1 Corinthians 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.)
9. "For if the dead rise , then is not  raised:"  
(1 Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised)
10. "And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
        your  ."    
(1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.)
11. "If in this  only we have  in Christ, we are of all men
