im not sure if this is the right room for this topic...but here goes.......ive been reading alot of Revelation and i have a question concerning the millenium kingdom....well actually more about heaven....ok....so when a christian dies right now he goes to be with Lord in heaven...ok.....if thats true does everybody just vacate heaven for the millenium?.....or is where the Lord is right now a different heaven from the "new earth and new heaven" that God creates after the millenium....i think i just anwered my own question..........anyways is it logical to assume that everybody has to leave heaven to reign in the millenium?....seems kind of anticlimactic.
Nope...
When you die in Christ, you go to heaven (paradise) as the thief on the cross who believed did.
Soon, Jesus will appear with those saints, their bodies will rise from the grave and will be changed to a body like that of Jesus -immortal. We who are alive will also be changed and meet the Lord in the air. He will take us to the city prepared for us in heaven, the New Jerusalem. We will not leave it. We will remain there reigning over the earth from there until the New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven at the end of the millenium.
Rev 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently,
I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
Rev 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
The "white robes" washed in the blood of the Lamb are given at the 5th seal prior to wrath:
Rev 6:11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
These white-robed people are seen before the throne and the Lamb in heaven:
Rev 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,
standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were
wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Luk 21:36 Be always on the watch,
and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
This is a resurrection and gathering to rooms prior to wrath:
Isa 26:19 But your dead will live;
their bodies will rise.
You who dwell in the dust,
wake up and shout for joy.
Your dew is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.
Isa 26:20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until his wrath has passed by.
Isa 26:21 See, t
he Lord is coming out of his dwelling
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her;
she will conceal her slain no longer.
He will keep His promise:
Jhn 14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
Jhn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Our home is in heaven:
Phl 3:20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Hbr 11:16Instead,
they were longing for a better country-a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,
for he has prepared a city for them.
1Th 4:14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1Th 4:15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
1Th 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1Cr 15:49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we
[fn6] bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
1Cr 15:50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
1Cr 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed–
1Cr 15:52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1Cr 15:53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
There is a glorious appearing and also a physical coming of Jesus:
Tts 2:13while we wait for the blessed hope-the
glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Mat 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“ ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
[fn3]
Mat 24:30 “
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
Mat 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
I point out facts and you say that's the only fact. It's not.
