Hello Mike,
 
Bingo!  I don't know how many times I've read those scriptures or had someone else explain the First Resurrection and the Second Resurrection but for some reason I could not grasp what was meant by that distinction of who reigned with Christ for a thousand years and who remained in heaven.  That Mike, is what you have solved for me once and for all.   Thus, I believe is what is absolutely clear now, that the only ones that would feel the sting of DEATH would be those un-believers who were brought before the White Throne Judgement.  Everyone else would not feel that Sting of Death.  Brilliant!
 
Thank you,
Gerlinda
