Where is the Body of Christ in the Millennium?

[Marilyn C]

I think this is an important question to ponder.

 

Now we all have thoughts, but I`m sure we`d rather know what God says. Thus it is God`s word we are looking at & not our opinions. So scripture is needed, as we all know, to support our view.

In the Millennium Age, the body of Christ will be ruling and reigning with Christ. At the Bema Seat Judgment of Christ, we will receive our rewards, and I believe that includes our job descriptions for the Millennial Reign. We will be in roles that will include levels of government of vast geographic territories, and also roles of administrating areas of infrastructural restoration of cities and nations. Large roles of great authority all the way down to smaller roles, but all with authority, as we will be in our immortal bodies and functioning in perfect order---all to restore the earth destroyed by so much chaos, and to bring and maintain peace and order to the peoples of the world, not to mention to be the extension of the arm of the Lord in distributing that rod of iron for correction. We will be the bringers of the truth about Jesus Christ to the nations who will be born, so that they will have their names written in that Book of Life which will be opened at the end of this era.

 

We will be very busy! The time will just fly by!

Hi Floatingaxe,

I get it all from the word.

Easy to say Floatingaxe, but harder to prove.

Living in the New Jerusalem.

Rev 21

9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

John 14

1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in Goda ; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And 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. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Interesting question.  Why not share what you find in scripture?

Hi Onelight,

 

I could share what I believe but I am trying it this way, for people to be able to back up what they believe. And this topic is not so easy as people think.

Hi Spock,

 

The New Jerusalem ay.

 

`And I saw a new heaven & a new earth; for the first heaven & the first earth passed away,....& I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God....` (Rev. 21: 1 & 2)

 

So are you saying that this is the Millennium? Why then does God send fire down at the end of the Millennium if it is all new?

Seems like the millennium to me:

22I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
