Reciting the books of Luke, Acts, and Revelation make me think that it would be absurd to think of any resurrection besides Jesus' as the First Resurrection at the end of the book of Revelation.
PROS:
Jesus' Resurrection is indeed the first resurrection.
Peter and John in Acts 4 are announcing that the resurrection of the dead is happening because of Jesus.
Those who died, seated on thrones, who are participating in the first resurrection, in the book of Revelation are "with the Lord" and connected to his bodily resurrection, not to their own bodies, as the are still bone and ash.
You don't have to make up some convoluted theory about a three stage resurrection that is not substantiated in the New Testament.
CONS:
