Not shouting. Just emphasizing the words in the Bible so you can see what it says clearly. Again, I already said there were "cities" and "birds that flown away" in the Jeremiah passsage which suggests a previous civilization. In fact, the Scriptures say the Lord destroyed these cities. Cities means there are people. God doesn't destroy empty buildings. Your view on this just doesn't make any sense, my friend. Besides, we also know the Tribulation saints that go thru the 1,000 year reign of Christ as mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6 are from every nation and tongue, too (See Revelation 7:9 and then compare with Revelation 7:13-14).

Talk about change of subject, But yes there will be people that survive the trib. Believers and non believers, the non Believers are given 100 years to accept Him ( Isaiah). The believers do not receive glorified bodies. Only the ones that are taken in the rapture and the ones who are killed. Then after the 1,000 years Satan will be released from the pit and will gather an army against Jesus and will be destroyed. Then Satan and his minions will be cast into the lake of fire. It's all there in black and white.
But since Adam was created, there will always be man on Earth until after the new Jerusalem descends on to Earth and after that we have no Idea. So what is Jeremiah talking about?

No, you are not reading the text plainly. It says the rest of the dead (i.e. Non Tribulation saints and those who are not on the Throne) lived after the 1,000 years. This would be every other believer who has ever lived besides Abraham, certain patriarchs, and the Tribulation saints who refused the Mark. There is no mention of unbelievers going thru the Millennium. That is a false teaching. Only saved people inherit the Kingdom of God and Christ. That's gospel 101.
To the OP
The creation day in Genesis 1:2 is a 24 hour day .... one turning of the earth as stated
Know that the Genesis account is actually a reconditioning act of an earth that was judged because of Satan's rebellion
Genesis 1:1 tells the beginning of creation eons before Genesis 1:2 which gives an earth devoid of any life forms and covered with the great deep
The earth and the universe had been severely judged and the earth's reconditioning should be viewed from the earth
All was in darkness with the waters below and thick water vapors above so that nothing could be seen even though the sun, moon, planets, and stars were present from their creation in the beginning [2 Peter 3:5-6]
The Lord then began a reconditioning of the earth for preparing the same to support new life forms including the first humans made in His image .... all of the past life forms had been destroyed and the evidence of which is found in the fossil remains embedded in the twisted earth's crust as a result of His prior judgment
So for example He made the sun and the moon to appear once more as viewed upon the earth by dissipating the waters above and creating the atmospheric layer between the waters below from the waters above
If you observe the planets of the earth's solar system today you can see the results of the judgment that marks all of them, none of which are inhabitable .... all most likely billions of years old
Only the earth has been recondition to support life forms as we experience it today
His reconditioning acts were all finished in 6 24 hour days about 6000 years ago when the first humans of our kind were made [this time lapse is supported by the genealogical records given in scripture
So you an be assured that the biblical account of creation is true with 100% accuracy

No, no. The Gap Theory, Lucifer's Flood, whatever you want to put between the two verses, there's no evidence for any of it. Those are the same sort of back-flips through self-made hoops that theistic evolutionists do to reconcile evolution and God's Word. The Gap Theory wasn't even a thing up until a few hundred years ago. There's no need for it.
The Millennium is a foreshadow, type, or parallel of the Old Testament (Even though it is till the New Testament still) and the Eternal New Earth after that is a foreshadow, type, or parallel of the everlasting New Testament in Christ. The Earth is approximately 6,000 years old, i.e. 6 days God created the Earth (6 days = 6,000 years). We are now in a prophetic gap or age of grace in addition to this time. Until the seventh week of Daniel comes, which is seven years. The 7th day = one additional 1,000 years to the 6,000 year age of the Earth plus the Age of Grace that we are now under. So the Millennium represents the 7th day Sabbath of the Old Testament. Then there will be a New Heavens and a New Earth that will be eternal and perfect like the New Testament.
Don't have to prove anything or find anything. In Revelation 20:4-6, we learn about two groups of people.
#1. Those who lived in the 1,000 year reign = Those on the Throne of Judgment (Abraham, and certain patriarchs) & Tribulation saints of every tongue and nation (See Revelation 7:9, and Revelation 7:13-14).
#2. The rest of the dead lived after the 1,000 years. This is what Revelation 20 says (or do you need me to put it in bold letters for you), my friend.

I don't mind the occasional use of someone saying they are saved by the word cross. But I do not like the statement of folks referring to their salvation repeated as the cross. My faith is not in a cross or symbol (like with vampires being repelled by a magical object). My faith is in Jesus Christ. He is my hope and not some wooden cross in and of itself. The cross was merely the means of how our Lord was crucified. Without Jesus, the cross in and of itself is nothing. So say "Jesus" and not "cross", my friend. For there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under Heaven whereby we must be saved.
Then why did you argue about it to begin with? For me these things are in my Bible and they are not going away and God placed them there because He wants us to know about such said knowledge. So to propose that we just focus on preaching the gospel and nothing else is cop out statement in my opinion (and untruthful of what the Bible teaches). Yes, preaching the gospel is important, but so is helping the poor, and so is loving others, and living righteously for Christ, too; And so is studying God's Word to show yourself approved unto Him, as well (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV).
