Revelation 20:6

The verse speaks of a "first resurrection," implying that death has occurred and a resurrection is necessary for these individuals to live and reign. This directly contradicts the idea of inherent immortality, as something inherently immortal would not need to be resurrected.

This verse explicitly mentions a "first resurrection" but does not explicitly state it is the *final* or *last* resurrection, nor does it describe a *general* resurrection event for all people.

The verse explicitly states that the "second death hath no power" over those who participate in the first resurrection, directly contradicting the idea of their destruction or ceasing to exist. It focuses on the blessed state and future reign of a specific group, not the judgment or destruction of the wicked.

There is no counter-argument that can be made from the plain text of this verse, as it explicitly states "a thousand years."

The verse describes the blessed state of those in the first resurrection and their reign, but it does not explicitly mention the timing of a "final judgment" in relation to the millennium.

The verse states that those in the first resurrection "shall reign with him a thousand years," but it does not explicitly state *where* this reign takes place, leaving open the possibility of an earthly reign rather than a heavenly one.

The verse only mentions a "first resurrection" and does not explicitly describe or name a "second resurrection," thus not directly distinguishing two separate resurrection events within its own text.

The verse explicitly states "a thousand years," which, when read at face value, suggests a literal duration rather than an indefinite or symbolic period. There is nothing in the immediate text of this verse that inherently indicates the number "thousand" should be interpreted non-literally.
