Why do some Christians think that the resurrection is limited to one event? Even the event called, "the first resurrection", has two parts. Those that did not receive the mark of the beast are raised in the first part and then all the dead after the 1000 year reign of Christ are raised later.

I think we have to look at the last resurrection as having two parts: The first part and the second part. I believe the catching away of the Church is the resurrection (all to its own) prior to the times of wrath.
I know it is confusing that there are multiple resurrections. Some in the early church believed that the resurrection already took place or that there is no resurrection.

Now if the early church could not get it right, I can understand why so many are confused today about resurrections.
Lazarus was resurrected and at the resurrection of Jesus, many were resurrected and came out of graves. Then we have Jesus who is the resurrection and the life. The triune God raised Jesus from the dead. We know from studying the book of Revelation that the two witnesses are resurrected. Their body must have been redeemed since they visibly went up into Heaven like Jesus did.

I consider the rapture of the Church as a special event. It is neither the first nor the second. Maybe we can call it the mysterious resurrection. Everyone loves a mystery. Can you be first to solve it? When will it happen?

I believe the rapture is coming during the great earthquake of Revelation 6. Maybe I'm a little wrong and you're a lot more right in your end time knowledge. Someday, we will know the truth and discover the mystery. Wouldn't you like to be right?
