Who Lives AND Reigns For 1000 years?

[Mr. M]

Revelation 20:

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 

The dead in Christ do not participate in the First Resurrection:

5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 

1 Thessalonians 4:

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

The beheaded are blessed and holy because they are exempted from the second death, having been "pre-judged" by their refusal to receive the mark of the beast, and prove "they did not love their lives even unto death".

6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

So then when is The Gathering of the Saints?

Other than the blessed and holy beheaded,

at the end of 1000 years.

Anyone can repeat a sinners prayer.

Only the most faithful stand on Christ before the guillotine. 

An "earthly beheading" is the final and possibly highest

blessing this side of heaven.

Those Christians who remain alive and survive the 7 year tribulation(there will not be many) will inhabit the 1000 year millennium in their mortal bodies.

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb

and by the word of their testimony, 

and they did not love their lives to the death.

An "earthly beheading" is the final and possibly highest blessing this side of heaven.

Scripture itself tells us who participate in the 1,000 year reign with Christ. In the following verses three groups are named;

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection (Rev.20:4–5).

1. Those who died for the Witness of Christ. That would start with Stephen
2. Those who died for the Word of God. That would start with Abel and end with the Two Witnesses
3. Those who refused any form of cooperation with the Beast and died for it (Not those of Rev.13:7)

The "rest of the dead" are those who are not Christ's "at His COMING" (1st Cor.15:23). The Greek for "First" can mean "FIRST in time" AND it also means "FIRST in importance or rank". Here it means "FIRST in importance" since a crown and a throne are PRIZES for faithful service and faithful self-denial. "He who loses his life ... will gain his soul life" ("psuche" in the Greek)

@missmuffet is correct. You hardly comment. If you want scripture to comment then it would be correct to say that "scripture comments" - not you. You have a good bible knowledge and so it would be profitable if you made a theory based on your scriptures. Remember, the Church is built by BOTH the written Word and your speaking (1st Corinthians 12 - all the gifts are speaking gifts and in Chapter 14 " you ALL may speak" to edify the saints.) Let's have YOUR words. This is the reason for the Forum.

I believe that Holy Scripture combined with literal Bible knowledge of the subject is appropriate. Rather it be our own words or the words of a well educated bible scholar. I am not that. But it must be truly Biblical.
