The first resurrection could be at the Second Coming, and the second one at the GWT, or is it first one when born again, and second at second coming event?

From the New Geneva Study Bible (NKJ) on verses 20:5, 6, "If this resurrection means bodily resurrection, it coincides with the Second Coming (1 Cor 15:51-57; 1 Thess 4:13-18) and the premillennialists are correct. On the other hand, the language concerning the 2nd death in vv6, 14 and 21:8 suggests a contrast between the first death and the second. The first death is bodily death, but it is only preliminary, not ultimate. Likewise, the first and second resurrections may be preliminary and ultimate, respectively. The first is spiritual, the second is of the body. The first resurrection is then to be understood as coinciding either with spiritual new birth (John 5:24,25) or with the going to be with Christ at the time of bodily death (6:9,10; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23). In view of the concern in Revelation for vindicating matrys, the latter alternative seems preferable."

Think that many would see it that way, as they hold to a single resurrection in the future to come?

I hold that the first resurrection is the leaving of the soul of the saints at death to be with Christ. And the second resurrection is that of the body. It would seem that my view is the same as the notes in the New Geneva Study Bible. One cannot hold to "a single resurrection" for the text is undeniably clear in stating that there is a first and then a second resurrection. grin
