Who Will Populate the Millennium?

[angels4u]

Children will be born during the millennium.
Only people in their natural, unresurrected bodies are able to produce children. The
earth's population will be drastically reduced because most people will be killed (or
raptured) before Jesus returns, and the earth will need to be repopulated. Jesus referred
to the millennial kingdom on earth as the "regeneration" (see Matt. 19:28) which means
"repopulation."
Many children will be born on earth during this 1,000-year reign of Christ (Zech. 8:1-5,
Isa. 65:20-23, Ezek. 47:22, Rev. 20:7-9). Zechariah 14:16 tells us that those who refuse
to worship Jesus in Jerusalem come from "the families of the earth," indicating these are
the children and grandchildren of those who entered the millennium, who are now living
all over the earth.
4. Who are the parents of these children?
The parents who give birth to these people are those who were saved after the
Rapture and are still alive in their natural bodies at the Second Coming.
This is the reason the Rapture and the second Coming of Christ cannot be the same
event. If the Rapture happens at the same time as the Second Coming, all saved people
would have resurrected bodies and there would be no people in natural bodies to
repopulate the earth.
At the Rapture, all saved people will receive resurrected bodies and will be taken to
heaven. Everyone left behind on earth (not taken in the Rapture) will be in their natural
human bodies. Many of these people will be saved and will live until the Second Coming.
These are the people who will enter the Millennium in their natural bodies and will
repopulate the earth.
We know that only saved people enter the millennium, so these believers are those who
accepted Christ after the Rapture. God kept them alive through the Tribulation Period for
a special purpose—so they could repopulate the earth during the millennium.
This means that the Rapture serves 2 purposes:
1) For the church to receive our resurrection bodies and home in heaven
2) To provide a group of people to populate the earth after the Second Cominghttps://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cloversites.com/fc/fcdcda31-90dd-4d9e-8256-2b8bc499f91b/documents/Who_will_populate_the_millennium.pdf

Yes, my belief and your belief are pretty much on the same page. Those who become a Christian during the 7 year tribulation will still suffer from the seal, bowl and trumpet judgments. Another purpose of the rapture of the Church is God's promise to keep those who are true born again believers from His horrible wrath and judgment that will happen on this earth.

Revelation 3:10

 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

Most people are not killed before Christ comes nor are they killed when he comes. Christ comes during war of Armegeddon which is located in Israel. At that time the countries around Israel are destroyed as well as Israel. The countries south of Egypt are not destroyed nor is Europe. China and Russia are not destroyed. North America and south America are not destroyed. 

 

The only nations that are destroyed are the nation's who dwell in the promised land. After they are removed Christ comes and reigns in his kingdom along with the resurrected saints of Israel.

PS

Egypt will be destroyed during the war of Armegeddon and will remain unpopulated for 40 years but after that it will be repopulated but will always be a lowly country. 5 cities in Egypt become part of Israel because they are in the promised land.

Revelation 3:10

 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

 

Ephesians 2:15 says;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

God made the New Man OUT OF TWAIN (TWO). The TWO where Israel and the Gentiles. With the New Man, plus Israel, plus the Gentiles we have THREE peoples. At Christ's "Coming"

1. The New Man is resurrected if they sleep, or changed if "they are alive and remain". According to Luke 20:35-36 they are "children of the resurrection and do not marry". They will be on earth, alive, reigning but have no children
2. Israel is divided into TWO sorts. In Ezekiel 37 those who are dead are resurrected. And in Revelation 7:1-8 we have 144,000 of the Tribes of Israel who are kept alive during the Great Tribulation (Rev.9:4). Luke 20:36 might, or might not apply again because Israelites, having refused rebirth, are "terrestrial" in glory, and not "celestial" like the Church. They are "seed as the sand of the sea-shore". Whatever, the 144,000 are able to produce children, having not died.
3. A rough calculation of the deaths among the Gentiles in the Great Tribulation would leave about one quarter of the earth's population. These are able to produce children seeing as they remain in their bodies. They are required by God to go up annually to Jerusalem to worship Emmanuel (Zech.14:16)

The prophets of Israel indicate safety, health and long life for men during the Millennium. If a man dies at 100 he is considered an infant (Isa.65:20). Since Christ's blood "... speaks better things than that of Abel" the curse on the ground is lifted and the harvests will be great. The population of the earth will multiple exponentially.

But all things of God must be tested. Those born in the Millennium will not have known Satan's system. And Christ's Kingdom must be tested to see if it is really everlasting. Satan in let loose to deceive. Magog and Gog convince men that the reign "of the rod of iron" is oppressive. An army is raised to besiege Jerusalem. Since God's Kingdom and system of things is on the line, He personally deals with this rebellion with fire and confusion from heaven. Millions, if not billions die in this futile rebellion. Wretched is the man who touches God's honor. But, with God's enemies subdued, one last enemy of God must be defeated - death. With Hades brimming with the souls of the Gentiles - "the rest of the dead", Christ sets up an assize and "the rest of the dead STAND ... " (Rev.20:12).

The Bible closes with the same THREE peoples; (i) The City founded on Christ, with a wall founded on the Apostles. (ii) Gates with the names of Israel's Tribes on them, and (iii) Nations seeking to enter the City for audience and favor with God.

Hi angels4u,

I agree with much of what you say, however I would like to point out the reason people are allowed to go into the millennium. This is the time when the Lord will rule through Israel over the nations. 

We know that when the Lord comes to deliver Israel and bring vengeance upon the rebellious, (2 Thess. 1: 7,  Rev. 19: 19) then He will judge the nations and divide them as one does `sheep and goats.` This is not the Great White Throne judgment where people who were in the graves were judged on their works. (Rev. 20: 11 - 15)

The judgment of the Lord when He divides the `sheep from the goats,` is based on what they did to the Jews in the trib.

`And the King will answer and say to them, (sheep), "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these MY BRETHREN, you did it to me." (Matt. 25: 40)

The `sheep` people are still sinful but have the opportunity to learn of God`s ways in the millennial kingdom. (Micah 4: 1 & 2)  Because they `looked after the Jews` they received the blessing of going into the millennium.

God does not require the `sheep` people to be `saved,` before the millennium. They will have the opportunity to turn to God during the millennium and to teach their children of God too.

`Many nations shall come and say, "Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will TEACH US OF HIS WAYS and we shall walk in His paths".....` (Micah 4: 2)

 

Note: Once the Body of Christ purpose is mature and taken to its eternal setting in glory, then the other purposes will be dealt with - Israel and the Nations.

Blessing to Egypt, Assyria, Israel
…20It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them. 21The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them. 22And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.…Is.19:21

Yes there are some Christians in Egypt. Not many but some. 

https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/29-12.htm

Egypt will be desolate forty years. No foot of man or beast will set foot there. The king of the north does this after Egypt attacks our forces in Jerusalem. 

Jerusalem will not be the only location our armed forces will use the abomination that causes desolation.

"Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. "

I'd say the sheep on the right are blessed, saved, redeemed and rewarded as heirs of the kingdom.

This is the reason I have trust issues. That's quite a conclusion based on mere speculation. It's fine to speculate but the author should say so. The above is based on zero real evidence and ignores the evidence that does exist.
