So when Jesus returns where does he reign from?
He doesn't. 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 tells you how the resurrection happens in pretty good detail. After that Christ delivers the kingdom back to God after judgment:
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming,
24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.
28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

This is why Christ is reigning now! After judgment He will return the kingdom to God!!!

While it may not seem that Christ is reigning on earth...He is through His church. However you have to understand that until all who re to be saved, are saved Christ will not return. He has all authority and just as God worked His purpose through the OT kings and nations, Christ is working his will through all the kings nations during His reign.

So all sin is judge in the new heaven and new earth... Who decides what sin is?.... Who are the judges?....the mosaic law judges Israel ... Does Muslim law judge Muslims sins committed?.. I don't understand what is 'sin without the law'
The Law is the ten commandments. Muslim law is not even in view. It's God's law that will judge...remember the law is written on the hearts of all, we simply disobey it.

*"Sin without law" refers to all who don't recognize God's law, that is what is meant by "those who are without law" they lived by their own rules. There are also those that have knowledge of the law but never received Christ.

....no sex?...by law?....by choice?...what happens if someone does commit a sexual act? What happens if one gets pregnant during these days ?....what happens to the married couples already married ? Are they forced to seperate?
We will be changed, and therefore we don't have a sin nature. Our glorified bodies are without the taint of sin and therefore we will not have sinful desire.

That change will be a body like Christ glorified body 1 Corinthians 15:42-49:
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;
43 it is sown in dishonor,it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

We will be changed! :amen: :clap: :thumbsup:

Jesus never returns on the earth at all?.. But judgement takes place first? ..How does judgement day take place?





While it may not seem that Christ is reigning on earth...He is through His church. However you have to understand that until all who re to be saved, are saved Christ will not return.


But you just said Christ will not return...yet he does return?... Are we speaking of the same return?... I mean return to earth..what do you mean when you say return?

the Law is the ten commandments. Muslim law is not even in view. It's God's law that will judge...remember the law is written on the hearts of all, we simply disobey it.

So judgement of the whole world is based on 10 commandments


we will be changed, and therefore we don't have a sin nature. Our glorified bodies are without the taint of sin and therefore we will not have sinful desire.


We will be changed! :amen: :clap: :thumbsup:





So this change you are referring to is some change from within?...a spiritual change?

No I didn't. I think you misunderstand what I meant. I didn't mean at all that Christ would not return, that's clearly in the passage. What I mean is, as much as so many think Christ is coming to restore Israel as a kingdom, He will not.

When the disciples asked Him that question, He didn't answer it.

Here's the question...Acts 1:6:
6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

Here's the answer in Acts 1:7:
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;

Basically Jesus said "none of your business".

Then Jesus went on to say in Acts 1:8:
8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

So that's exactly what the apostles did...the church started in Jerusalem in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost.

As the apostles were used to write scripture, the Holy Spirit inspires them to understand Christ return is not to restore Israel at all. None of the apostles say that. What they speak of is the "Israel of God" which is made up of all believers Jew and Gentile. That is why Paul calls us "one olive tree"....there is no difference in Christ.

After that the persecution starts in Acts 8:1, and the church of Jerusalem is scattered to Judea and Samaria:
Acts 8:1:
Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

The church remains there until the Holy Spirit call out Saul and Barnabas to go outside of Israel to the uttermost ends of the earth:
Acts 13:2:
2While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

From there the gospel goes to the uttermost parts of the earth through the church. That is just as Jesus said in Acts 1:8

So judgement of the whole world is based on 10 commandments
Exactly.

So this change you are referring to is some change from within?...a spiritual change?
No...it is a complete transformation the word "change" has it's root in the Greek word "allassō" this is that meaning:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G236&t=NASB

We will be transformed.

The earth is made all new in Revelation 21:1:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

Indeed God is on earth, that is Revelation 21:3, 4:
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”


His glory gives light along with Jesus the lamb in will be the lamp...Revelation 21:22, 23
22I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Revelation 21 lays it out.

So during this new heaven and new earth there will be only one city in the whole world? And all cities of the world have been destroyed?

I really don't think so. We have to realize as God speaks to us in His word, He gives us things we can understand living in this sin cursed world. Terms we can understand.

In a "new heaven and earth, what would the need for cities with structures be? When Gods says "behold I make all things new" I believe we will be in a perfect world with perfect weather, there will be no need for structures to live in.

Of course we don't have much to compare with but the world Adam and Eve were in before "the fall", there were no buildings and they had no need for clothing. That's what we have to go on.

There are certain things we don't know and cannot know until we're there...but we know God does all things well!

Yes, dfw, it "sounds" like clothes, but are you coming at the material like a historical reader. In the ancient near east world, it meant certain things to have white clothes to wear. They lived in a world of dust and sweat and clothes tended to turn a lovely yellow-gray, and stink... The point is that the person is welcomed into the royal presence and all the discolor and stink is gone. Transform the concept; the same material (Rev) says there is no sun in the new earth because the Lamb is the light.

Beware of literalism, it really squashes the juices of imagination.

Why can it literally mean white robes.. Why give a spiritual meaning to everything?.... The sun could no longer be needed if gods and the lamb light is sufficient enough...I seriously doubt people are walking around naked..:)

The sun no longer needed could refer to the sun calender...see I can imagine.... Yeah the sun no longer needed for days observing and gods light is the light of time... See ... Or the light of god is truth over all the land... Or it can mean no more darkness...imagination runs wild in symbolism ...:)

I'm not. White robes speak on sinless perfection that we receive in our salvation through Christ righteousness. That's not to say we won't wear a robe...however the spiritual meaning fo the white robe is sinless perfection through Christ.
The sun could no longer be needed if gods and the lamb light is sufficient enough...I seriously doubt people are walking around naked..:)
We don't know. But when we look back at Adam and Eve...did they wear clothes? No. They had no knowledge of the "nakedness" until they sinned.

Think on that.

Not when you have the foundation in scripture...the passage makes it clear. Not only that but there are several instance wear God's glory cannot be beheld...

Moses had to hide in the cleft of the rock it was so bright.

When Moses would leave Gods presence his face literally shined.

When Jesus showed His Glory on the Mt of Transfiguration the scripture states "his face shone like the sun".

That is not symbolism, that is God's glory!

Yes that's what I take from it...as for Adam and Eve being without clothes... No one else was around...so... But god hides the nakedness of man ... Through clothing ...

No. Think about it like this:

We know the scripture clearly says this in Genesis 2:25
25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

So this is the eternal state of Adam and Eve PRIOR to "the fall",

So now, the question is "when does nakedness" enter the equation?

That would be Genesis 3:6, 7
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.


This is the association of "nakedness", is with the first sin! So this would be the point!

Prior to "the fall" there was no shame from nakedness, so it's not a reach to assume in eternity, where there is no sin...there would be no shame of nakedness. There would be no need for clothes.

We know prior to the fall all of God's creatures ate plants and not meat, that too would be true of the restoration.

I don't see it that way... Not being ashamed being naked with each other... But after sinning shame came in and now they were even ashamed with one another... Sin brings shame but had not shame come in they would not have hidden their nakedness with one another... but had others been around ... We don't know what their reaction would have been...I don't think they expected anyone else other than the two of them...

I think you're missing the point that something happened to them spiritually.

That's why the scripture says "they eyes of both of them were opened"...that happened upon eating the forbidden fruit. They died spiritually, and we don't know all that entails but it changed them.

I think they became ashamed before god and each other.. Probably argued whose fault it was.... Remembering that god told them not to eat or they will die... So fear and guilt and being ashamed for disobeying...there eyes were opened.. Knowing good and evil...sin was a bad thing ... Being obedient rather than disobeying they realized was the right thing to do... They were fooled... They didn't become like god as the serpent told them... They became rebellious... And that sin lead to others sins...trying to hide it ... Trying to blame god and each other....sin lead to more sin

Do you agree that Moses foretold that when Israel got her place of rest, God would choose a place to set His name? First, God set His name in Shiloh. Later, He chose Jerusalem in the days of Solomon. I don't see anywhere in the verses where God would ever take His name from the place.
Yes...when Jesus said to them "behold your house is left to you desolate". Using your logic God lied because the temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Romans.

The temple of God phrase was what the angel had said. This means that John had already seen chapters that he had noted it as being a tabernacle. John himself did not call it the temple of God, until there was smoke seen in it at the end of Rev. 15.

Rev. 13 --- His tabernacle
Rev. 15 temple of the tabernacle
Rev. 15 the temple
Rev. 15 - the temple filled with smoke from the glory of God
Rev. 11 - temple of God

Are you even noticing that temple is in heaven?
The outer court area being given to the Gentiles for 42 months and the city is tread under won't fit for the days of Vespasian and Titus.
The earthly temple of God in Jerusalem was not just for sacrifices as to sin, but for offerings, sweet savours, and prayer.

Why not? They destroyed the temple totally...just as Jesus said. Not one stone remained of that temple!
Daniel 9:18
"...the city called by your name."

Ezra 6:12
"And the God that has caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that put their hand to alter and to destroy the house of God..."

I Kings 8:29
9:3
"...hallowed this house...to put my name there forever...mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually."

Ezekiel 43:7
Nehemiah 1:9
I will refute that with what Jesus said..."a GREATER than the temple is here". :thumbsup:

The Third Temple – Beit HaMikdesh - WILL be built.

Ezekiel 40,41 & 42 Ezekiel measures the Temple and its precincts.
Ezekiel 43 to 48 Details of the Temple furnishings and the Land divisions, etc.

Haggai 2:6-9 In a little while, I shall shake the heavens, the earth, the sea and all the nations. I will fill this House with their treasures. This latter House will be greater than former. In this place, I shall grant prosperity and peace.
[The Second Temple was not greater than Solomon’s Temple.]
Zechariah 1:16-17 These are the words of the Lord; I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion, My House is to be rebuilt there. My cities will again brim with prosperity, once again the Lord will comfort Zion and make Jerusalem the city of His choice.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 The Return of Jesus cannot come until the man doomed to destruction is revealed and enthrones himself in God’s Temple, claiming to be God.
[What could be clearer than that? The Temple must be rebuilt before the Tribulation.]
Daniel 9:27....He will put a stop to the sacrifices and offerings, then will set up an abomination in the Holy place.
Malachi 3:1 I am about to send My messenger to clear a path before Me. Suddenly, the Lord, whom you seek, will come into His Temple. The messenger of the Covenant, whom you desire, will come to you. [The Return of Jesus, into the rebuilt Third Temple. Reference REB, NIV. Some verses abridged

Jewish Midrash sources say that the messenger is the Messiah ben Joseph, who will be the leader of the ten tribes of Israel when they return to the Land and he will instigate the rebuilding of the Temple. Jeremiah 30:21 Further on, it is mentioned again in Haggai 2:21, the shaking and overthrowing of kings and how the Lord will break the power of the heathen realms. As we see in verses Haggai 2:6-9 this happens before the rebuilding and therefore, the regathering of His people.

It is likely that the Lord will use the next prophesied event, the Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, centred on the Middle East, to ‘break the power of the heathen realms’’. This will enable His people, righteous Israel to settle into the Land of Greater Israel and build the Temple.

It is not possible, at present for the Jewish State of Israel to build anything on the Temple mount.
1/ They have handed control of the area to the Muslims.
2/ Any move to start construction would trigger a war.
3/ Orthodox Jews, especially Ultra Orthodox, are forbidden or dare not go onto the Mount, for fear of stepping onto the place of the Holy of Holies.
4/ Atheist Jews [half the population] are not interested or don’t want a Temple.

Zechariah 6:15 Men from far away will come and work on the rebuilding of Y’hovah’s Temple. This will come about if you listen to and obey your God.

Take your time and compare Ezekiel's Temple vision with Rev 21 & 22.

There will be no temple...and BTW...Christ entered the Holy of Holies, it's called heaven. Try Hebrews 9.
