    where death will be their shepherd.
In the morning the godly will rule over them.

    far from their grand estates.

Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God.

This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)
