Glad you are for truth... So am I ... I don't want anyone deceived ....but all come to the truth...
In a perfect world?... We will be brought back into our bodies... We shall live again... We will be like Jesus ... Yes we will live in a city and reign with Christ and enjoy eternity ... Jesus can still embrace and eat , enjoy wine ...remember when they had a campfire by the beach after he arose?... Yeah we will live in homes and plant vineyards..
No...I think not. The curse will not be upon creation anymore, therefore what need is there for shelter? In the restoration of all things we will be like Adam and Eve, we will not have deal with weather as we see today in this cursed creation. Also in the restoration what need is there to kill animals for food? It will be restored and we will not be carnivores.
Ezek and John?...well hear me out... ezek city will be built twice...ezek city and temple will be built first by a false messiah... Then this city is measured(seen by John) for judgement ... But not until the final man of sin reigns in this future city in the final days...this future city is divided into 3 parts by an earthquake.... When Jesus returns ... He will rebuilt this city and its temple ...you follow me?... 2 future city's of Jerusalem... 2 temples to be built..ezek reveals the true messianic city and temple....John sees the false messianic city and temple
What scriptural foundation have you for such a view? It's certainly not in Ezekiel. Jesus prophesied "many will come in my name" so this idea you have is definitely a futurist view that ignores what scripture is actually revealing spiritually. However...I await your scriptural support fo such a view.
What is the bride of Christ?... The city from heaven in which we will live in ...the new Jerusalem...this is the final city of god from heaven... We are not the bride ... We are the bridegroom ... We are a new man... We are the body of Christ ... We are Christ..the body of Christ is not a woman...the actual bride of Christ is new Jerusalem ... A literal city... Just as the scripture says in rev that you pointed out...
The "bride of Christ" is all Christians...one of many metaphors used of us in scripture. Jesus calls himself the bridegroom, so the church is the bride!
New Jerusalem is all believers, that's why Paul says "the Jerusalem above is free, she is our mother". Make the correlation.
During the false messianic age the false messiah will seek to self fulfill the prophecy of ezek city and temple....then later ..the man of sin will come and seek this city for his own... And judgement will fall because of this...John sees this vision taking place
You're in and have been in the Messianic age since Christ was born into the world. Upon his sacrifice for sin, God gave Jesus all authority...the time is now Messiah reigns now. There have been many false messiahs...and will be.
When this city is destroyed... Jesus will rebuild the city and temple.. This is the true fulfillment of what god intended in ezek vision....for Jesus to built the city... No one else!!!... Yet a false messiah will try to establish what does not belong to him...and later... A man of sin ,a gentile, will come to take the city for himself and sit in the temple and place an idol in the temple ...and claim to be god...
The city has been destroyed...and the Dome of the Rock is your reminder. Nothing remains of the temple, and there will be no temple, you will find out the temple God is building is all believers. Jesus is the Cornerstone.
We'll just see as it plays out.
As for this:
If I my eschatalogical view has to have a classification, it would be "partial preterist". I don't agree with all of preterism...this I do know...futurism is way off...but that's another debate.
When I was saved I started out in the futurist view...so I know what is taught of that, and I saw the problems of it. I found those problems right there in scripture as I was being taught it. The first church I attended was "Scofield Reference Bible" all the way...I'm glad I saw the error in that.
No one has their eschatology 100% right, and I do listen to other views. However futurism has huge problems starting out with denying the sufficiency of Christ sacrifice, thinking there will be another temple.
Then you have "Left Behind" crowd...no thanks...unscriptural in my view.
It will all come to light though, and as Paul says "we will know even as we are known.
