Exegesis
The second sentence, haute hē anastasis hē prōtē {αὕτη ἡ ἀνάστασις ἡ πρώτη | haútē hē anástasis hē prṓtē}, is an equative clause lacking an explicit copula, which must be supplied in translation as “is.” The demonstrative haute placed first gives prominence to identification: “this” (earlier resurrection just described in the broader context) “is the first resurrection,” with the attributive adjective prōtē marked by the article hē to define the resurrection’s unique rank and priority. The Greek word order foregrounds the temporal limit (“until the thousand years were completed”) and then the qualitative designation (“the first resurrection”), underscoring both delay for “the rest of the dead” and the distinctive status of the earlier resurrection.
