I agree with you here tourist. Regarding the 144,000, there is nothing in scripture that states that the glorified church reigns over them. Those whom we will rule over will be those great tribulation saints of all nations who make it through God's wrath alive and who will be repopulating the earth during the millennial period.

As further support that the 144,000 are adult males, we have scripture stating that "these are those who have not defiled themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure." - Rev.14:4

The reference to "not defiling themselves with women" would infer that these are all adult males, otherwise you wouldn't need to say that about children.

Regarding day and night on the new earth and new Jerusalem, there will be none, for the scripture states the following:

"And the city has no need for sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory. Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there."

The reference to the new Jerusalem having no need for the sun or moon to shine on it, infers that there will be no sun or moon period. Furthermore, the scripture says that the glory of God will illuminate the city and that the nations will walk by its light on the earth. There will also be no more sea.




You are correct though in that there will indeed be day and night in the new earth but not in New Jerusalem. Also, correct on the Tree of Life producing a crop of 12 different fruits each month, and not 12 different crops of fruit, one crop for each month.
Greetings Ahwatukee,
Still waiting to hear from you concerning the whole Chapter Zechariah 14, and where that chapter fits into your ideal of end time events. Thanks Brother.

There will not be night in Heaven (Rev 22:5). There will always be night for the new earth- which is hell.

You do realize that's talking about the old cursed earth (the one we're inhabiting now) not the new earth that will be created after this one is burned up with purifying fire. That's why in the verse you quoted it says "while" the earth remains. This earth.
This Earth whether old or new, will always have days and nights. This Earth abideth forever.

Ecc_1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.


Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.


So on this Planet EARTH, which abideth forever, OLD or NEW, it will continue to have days and nights. Old Earth has Days and Night, the New Earth will also have Days and Nights. Scriptures do not lie. the Earth abideth forever and Days and Nights will NOT CEASE from the Earth, EVER.

Now inside the Holy City Jerusalem, there are no days or nights, because the entire City is inside the 16 foot walls that surround the entire City, floor and ceiling likewise 16 foot thick. The entire Holy City Jerusalem is enclosed, there is NO night there, and the light that is there is Jesus Christ on all 12 floors of the Holy City.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10)
God destroyed the planet Earth with water before. He is going to destroy this Earth and Atmosphere with Fire next. if you want to see many verses which speak of the fire, A day as an oven. waters boil, etc.. .. Click HERE for an article that tells you what to expect during those times.

Revlation 21:22-25 “And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,25 and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.”

Revelation 22:5
5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

This is ONLY a description of INSIDE the Holy City Jerusalem. NOT on the EARTH itself.
