You are under arrest for omitting a comma. You have a right to a thesaurus; if one is not in your possession, a thesaurus will be provided to you. Off you go, miscreant!

My high-school English teacher used to call me that...  Don't think I've heard or read that since 1965

I would laugh, being careful not to snarf my coffee. We know that when the Son of God returns, every eye shall see Him.  

Do you mean to say, that there won't be blind in the world anymore, or that he will healed all the blind people at that time? 

He will have to, if that is meant to be a physical sighting...

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

That which I underlined, would you say is speaking of Lords second coming and the first resurrection. 

The word "second", as in "first" and then "second" is not found in the relevant text in your posting. 

Also the words "first resurrection" are not found or suggested in the relevant text in your quoted post. 

There is a suggestion in scripture of the first resurrection from the dead are the first fruits, the Patriarch Abraham the righteousness giver and those who were the heirs of the Circumcision which imputed Abraham's righteousness to them...who at the time of their death were gathered to their Patriarch Abraham...All waiting for the giver of Life, JESUS CHRIST.  To be included in the righteousness of the Giver of Life.

The first fruits to have been delivered from the inherited death from Adam.  And who inherited the imputed righteousness of the Life Giver...they were in Abraham before but Abraham joined Jesus Christ and they followed Abraham...and John the Baptist who was looking forwards to have what Jesus had...the Life of God...John knew that day was coming because he said to Jesus I want what you have...

The first fruits the first to be delivered from the death Inheritance. 

Abraham in the death Inheritance from Adam and the imputed righteousness and Jesus who was not in the death Inheritanc from Adam, because he was not from man but from above from God...

John knew that because he called Jesus the Son of God. 

And John received the witness at the baptism of Jesus, only him was recognized as the Son of God. 

The Heavenly Father identify only Jesus as his Son, as the only one with his Life and he send his Holy Spirit only to him, who was righteous before him and who for that reason was still in his Life...

Jesus was all the time standing in his own righteousness...

Abraham was standing in the imputed righteousness and his children were standing in the imputed righteousness of Abraham...

This is why Jesus said to the Jews who believe that they were in the imputed righteousness of Abraham and they cannot be lost. But Jesus told them that they will be in their sins, (at the time of his death, because Abraham who was waiting for him will follow him and be in Jesus Christ, in the righteousness of Jesus and in his life giving blood. 

That's what was the Gospel message in the day of Penticost, those to whom the Gospel was preached they show themselves in their sins, inspite the fact that they were the children of Abraham and they shout Jesus to have the forgiveness of their sins and be in his righteousness and in the Life of his blood, to be in Jesus Christ...they left Abraham or rather the joint Abraham who had joined Jesus, they wanted to have what Abraham was wanted to have all along the Righteousness of the Son of God, the Life Giver, to be in the Life of his blood...and to be co-heirs of Heaven together with Jesus. 

Before they were co-heirs of Abraham and that's why they were gathered to Abraham, to where Abraham was, but now as co-heirs with Jesus will be gathered together where Jesus is....but they have to wait till they die first...

Their faith must be tested and endured all testing till the time of their death...the death of their body...

(to continue) 

Not counting Jesus resurrection whose body after his resurrection could not died no matter what...(that takes a lot of thought) because he was standing on his own righteousness, and he will never disobey the Heavenly Father forever more, because the Heavenly Father stopped telling what to do...and where there is not a command it cannot be a disobedience....

In other words he made him Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and he gave him everything he had, there is nothing the Father has kept from Jesus Christ, so envy will never be found in him. 

The one in Heaven fall because of envy, and the one on earth fall because of disobedience...

Jesus is safeguarded from both, he will remain righteous forever more and so we..who are under his imputed righteousness toward us who believe...

In Jesus we will never fall into death because Jesus Christ will always live, or be in the Life...This is the say, "as he is, and so are we", we are in him...

A believer never dies, he is always alive to Jesus Christ and by DEFAULT to the Heavenly Father. 

A believer in Jesus Christ always remains in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, he is in him always....even though he disobeys a command or he envies.

Excellent answers @Sower and @Rosie1jack2pauline3  ….because many Christians believe that Christ can come back at any moment; yet the Bible clearly states that He won't until two things have happened:

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

- 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

 

Well, the falling away is in progress, a good example is what is called the "progressive church"

Also, Israel has been reestablished and is poised to rebuild the temple. Also in today’s world with things like tv and cell phones the world can be manipulated into believing anything easily.

Look how easy it was with the covid out brake. And consider just how fast things can change. last i checked it was illegal for a jew to be on the temple grounds. when that changes all bets are off.

besides it says the whole world will see the Lords coming, just how do you think people on the other side of the earth are going to see it? tv and cell phones don't ya know

Regardless of just how it turns out, we have promises. He will not lose a single one of His and Romans 8:28. He is the Great Shepherd.

Its good to remember the simple stuff.

Scripture is truth, Light, pure and honest, lovely.........

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, what soever............He will not lose a single one of His and Romans 8:28.
