The reason I couldn't find it is because I'd assumed it was in Revelation - silly me.
1 Corinthians 15
Of course the 1000 years is not mentioned, as you said. But that is my understanding of when this is to happen. That is why I thought it was part of the quotation.
My mistake.
What is interesting is that Jesus gives up control to God - "then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him" - which suggests no equality before or after.

I believe there already are. Many weak in the faith will follow just about anyone else, not learning it is easiest to learn directly from Yeshua, Jesus. Even Paul said not to say I belong to this one or that one because only our Savior lived and died to bring us the true Gospel. Paul went on to say, if anyone puts forth any other gospel than the one delivered by Jesus Christ, let him be accursed, not that there is another gospel. Yahweh, God, bless all in Jesus Christ, amen.
Jack - Next, will there be a "Graham-ist" "Michelle-ist" "Gordon-ist" ? 
There is no vendetta here, at least not from my side. Since you have not paid attention to my own previous reply to this repeated comment you have made.
Once more I will say. Within the structure of any individual's assembly there are those who teach and preach, and if the person is blessed, healers and workers of miracles.
The issue here is not those gifted and appointed to such duties, the issue is when intellectuals publish writings and teachings about the Word without teaching from the Word.
Anyone who believes he or she is able to teach about the Word without the Word in the teachings is in darkness.
Finally, to put anything in writing to be published and perhaps republished is the same as having your teaching engraved in stone for there is not anyone to explain the ideas purported leaving readers and students of such intellectualism to their own wits bending and changing what was originally written.
Unless the person writing is available to converse and discuss, it is as though written in stone, unlike the Word, for we are given the truth as a gift, imparted to one some and to another more by the Holy Spirit to share with others in the Holy Spirit.
If any of what is said here is not understood, we may discuss it, because we are here, but those who write manifestos or new schools of religion without being present to relate it to the Word, without having done so are just a little bit egotistical.
All the entire world needs is the Holy Spirit, and usually He will teach those who read the Word in prayer and meditation.
We belong to the One Who saved us, Who suffered and died for each of us, never to any other gospel. He instructs us to learn from Him, and for the King of all that is to be willing to teach each one of us, and for any of us to refuse this invitation is also very egotistical. This does not exclude learning from Him by teachers within any given assembly of Jesus Christ.

GOD gave us teachers, preachers, and all that stuff. HE did it for a reason
