The First Resurrection

I have spoken quite a bit concerning the first resurrection of the dead. I do not believe it is preached very much. Yet I believe it is an important topic to consider. Perhaps it will come more to the front in Christian thinking as the Day of the Lord draws near.
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4-6)
It is my belief that when the Apostle Paul told us attaining to the resurrection was his foremost goal, and that he was laying all else aside in order to attain to this goal, he was speaking of the first resurrection of the dead.
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3:10,11)
