You fail to note that John 3:2 and other Prophesies like 1 Cor 15, do not specify the time of their fulfilment. 

We get that clearly stated information from Revelation 20:11-15. AFTER the Millennium. 

At the Return, those who are worthy to go with Him into the Millennium, will be like Him, in their lives and actions. Immortality cannot come until the Book of Life is opened. 

No such thing as a millennial kingdom upon this earth found in scripture, its a man made fairytale

Jesus returns in fire and final judgement dissolving this earth by fire (The End)

You constantly demonstrate your fixed beliefs and show how confused you are. 

Jesus came the first time as a suffering servant, He will Return as King of Kings and will take His reward of reigning over the world for a thousand years, to deny this, is unscriptural foolishness.

Revelation 20 has clear proof of a thousand years of earth time after Jesus has Returned. Scripture says it and you deny it. Bad you.

Revelation 20:1-6 Isn't A MIllennial Kingdom On This Earth Don't Be Deceived 

Can you find the things claimed by those teaching a Literal 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom On This Earth in Revelation 20:1-6 below?

1.) Physical Earthly Kingdom?

2.) Physical Earthly Throne?

3.) Physical Mortal Humans?

The Above Claims (Don't Exist)

Revelation 20:1-6 Is 100% In The Lords (Spiritual) Angel, Heaven, Devil, Satan, The Souls, The Dead, God, Christ

100% Spiritual Realm, No "Literal" Time

2 Peter 3:8KJV

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:1-6KJV

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

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.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

I'm confused. So is there going to be a literal kingdom on Earth ruled by Jesus that lasts 1,000 years?

Yes, We can read about it in Isaiah 2:2-4, Zechariah 14:16-21, Psalms 145:1-21, +

Those things are all described as physically present on earth, in many other Prophesies. 

Do you really think that the whole Plan of God for mankind, will just end in a fizzer? Jesus will reign on earth, it is His right and His reward.

After the Thousand Years the Pit is reopened and the mortal humans that survived the cataclysm will overrun the Earth again for the last time. This process could take many more thousands of additional years to complete. Those glorified remind me of the elves in the Lord of the Rings. We will stand apart and live in high places out of their reach.  

Hi @Scott Free I see the ref. to J R R Tolkien there...........funnily enough, I was never into him as an author..........

J.R. Tolkien was a Christian and was best friends with C.S Lewis. The Lord of the Rings is heavily influenced by Christian morals and ideals. Example: the hobbit 'Samwise' is meant as a representation of true Christian character. He reminds me of 'Help' in the Pilgrim's Progress. I do realize it is not a ministerial work.

What happens to the wicked and to people of other belief systems? Will they die?

I'm reading that there will be a lot of death when Jesus returns. The winepress is trodden, blood will flow up to the horses bridal. The time comes for God to destroy, the destroyers of the earth. That doesn't sound good. The earth has become defiled, the land, the earth, will vomit out it's inhabitants.

The people of other belief systems seem covered by Paul in Romans 2. They become a law unto themselves. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

I was thinking about the people of other belief systems yesterday. My truck had an emergency breakdown. Guys with turbans fixed me up. A 5 hour job. They were thoughtful, careful, and seemed like very good people. They did a big job for me. Jesus said He has Sheep in many folds, I hope they are in the Sheep pen. If they are, Jesus has them.

Will Jesus rule only faithful Christians for a thousand years?

Jesus will only rule (with) the saints for a thousand literal years. Just like it says in Revelation 20. All of the prophetic time periods in Daniel and Revelation are literal time. There can be a day for a year translation, like in Daniel 9, but there is no such thing as symbolic time.

Jesus said that He was going to go and prepare a place for us. Then He would come back and get us to take us to be where He is. His Father's House has many rooms. If this were not true, would He have told us?

It's just that I also think it's happening anytime now. So I don't want to jinx it. Or to upset the other guys on the thread by saying something different is about to happen, than what they think.

Peaceful Sabbath.
