Nice model! The only things that I would not agree with are as follows:
1.) The seals should all be contained within the seven year time-line and not outside of it, as the first seal is the revealing of the antichrist, the rider on the white horse.
2.) The Male Child is a collective name for the 144,000 who are caught up to God's throne at the middle of the seven years (Rev.12:5)
3.) The saints do not reign over the 144,000, which are the first fruits out of the twelve tribes of Israel, who will not have defiled themselves with women and in whose mouth no lie will be found. The fact that scripture states that they sing a new song that no one else is able to learn (Rev.14:3-4) would demonstrate that this group will not be subservient to any other group of saints.
4.) Though there must be a renovation of this present earth when Christ returns to end the age in order to live during the millennial period, scripture has the new heaven and new earth being created after the millennial period and after the great white throne judgment.
How can you possibly say "Scripture has the new heaven and new earth being created after the millenial period and after the great white throne judgment" yet do not give one Scriptural reference for that opinion. If you think there is Scriptures which teach that, then reveal the Scriptures. Do you not ask others in your post to reveal Scriptures to you when they say something that is not Scriptural? Yes you do, i have seen it. But i continually ask you to reveal the Scriptures on some of the things you say, which you do not reveal any Scriptures to back up what you are saying. Please show Scriptures that the New Earth and New Heaven is AFTER the thousand year reign of Christ ON EARTH. What does He reign over, nothingness? We Saints reign with Christ for a thousand years, Who do we reign over for a thousand years ON EARTH. You do error in not believing what God has told me concerning what is to come, and you constantly teach things that is based on your own belief, what you think, what you interpret the Word of God to mean. Men's interpretation of the Word of God is DUNG, as if it were in men to interpret the Word of God. What i teach you is NOT my interpretation, but is what God has told me, therefore if you think i am wrong, it is not i that you think is wrong , but God who told me these things. And instead of listening to what God has told me, you disagree with it, why is that, why would a person disagree with God?
Also, I personally believe that the new heaven and new earth will be brand new, as in novel, never exiting before and not a renovation of this current heaven and earth.
Was not the Earth destroyed by Water? Yes it was. Did Noah and his family think it was a brand new Earth? Yes i am sure they did. God destroyed the Earth with water, During the 7 year Tribulation Period God will destroy the Earth with Fire. Know you not that it is written the Earth abideth forever?
Ecc_1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
If Scriptures teach the Earth abideth forever, and can't be broken, how am i to believe you which says "the new heaven and new earth will be brand new, as in novel, never exiting before and not a renovation of this current heaven and earth." So what then, there will be TWO EARTHS, One that abideth forever and then the one you are talking about. Here is the TRUTH, the Earth was destroyed by water, 4,000 years ago, it will now be destroyed by Fire for 7 years, the Earth will burn. After the Earth burns for 7 years (Tribulation Period) The Earth will replenish itself, and become like the Garden of Eden, the Entire Planet will be NEW, and the Atmosphere will be NEW. Age is restored so that a person lives to be a thousand years old. Read Isaiah chapter 65:17-25 to see how Isaiah describes this time on Earth.
Also, I personally believe that the new heaven and new earth will be brand new, as in novel, never exiting before and not a renovation of this current heaven and earth. In support of this, John says that he sees the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
The New City Jerusalem does come out of Heaven the problem is, you think it is at the End of the thousand year reign of Christ on Earth. You do not know or understand, that when Jesus comes to gather up the Saints, He is coming in the New City Jerusalem.
You think the New City Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven after the thousand years, is contrary to Scriptures. And as i have plainly said over and over again, if what you believe contradicts even one verse in Scriptures then what you believe is WRONG. There are verses in the Old Testament which plainly talk about the New City Jerusalem, and those who sin will not be able to enter into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Why even say that, if the New City comes down at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth? Are there sinners present at the end of the 1,000 years, or have sinners been wiped out during the 7 year Tribulation Period.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (New City Jerusalem)
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (So sinners are still present, they will not be able to enter into the New City Jerusalem)
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Please Read all of Zechariah chapter 14, it is a description of when Christ comes down out of Heaven to set up His Kingdom, and it is NOT at the end of the thousand years, it is during a time when sinners are still present on the Earth, Read it, believe it. Jesus comes down to Earth to set up His Kingdom, the New City Jerusalem comes with Him.
Joh_14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh_14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And Where is Christ?
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. (New City Jerusalem)
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
So Jesus is in the New City Jerusalem.
Where is the Throne of God? NOT in Heaven, it is in the New City Jerusalem, which comes down to Earth. The Place Jesus said He was going to Heaven to prepare for US.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
So the Kingdom of Heaven comes to Earth, For where ever the Father and the Son are, is where the Kingdom of heaven is. If the New City Jerusalem comes down to the Earth, and in it, is the Throne of God the Father and the Lamb of God the Father is there too, Jesus. Then when the Saints are raptured, they do not go to Heaven, where God the Father Use to be, They, the Saints go where the Father and the Son are living, and they are living in the New City Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven to the Earth, Heaven on Earth.
Regarding this, there should be no controversy in recognizing that the new Jerusalem is not a renovated version of the current city of Jerusalem, but is completely new, having different dimensions and is much, much, bigger and is made by God.
This is clear because Scriptures plainly teach the New City Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven.
Therefore, the new heaven and new earth must also be completely new, for they are all said to be new.
So let me understand your logic, because the New City Jerusalem is NEW, and not the old Jerusalem. That means the New Earth will be completely NEW, because the New City Jerusalem is completely New? What kind of logic is that? The New City Jerusalem is NEW, because Scriptures teaches that it is NEW, it comes down out of Heaven. Scriptures does not teach the Earth is COMPLETELY NEW, that is what you are assuming, altogether not realizing there are verses which teach the Earth abideth forever. The Earth was destroyed by water, it was not created entirely NEW no was it? The Earth again will be destroyed by Fire, the Earth will abide forever, however it can be destroyed and redone on the Surface.
5.) The New Jerusalem does not come down out of heaven until after the millennial period and after the great white throne judgment, when the new heaven and new earth are created.
Didn't you already say this in 4.) i will ask you again. Where in all of Scriptures does it teach that it comes AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth? Can't you come up with one verse in all of Scriptures that teaches that? Can you even come up with one verse that even implies that is the TRUTH? If you can't come up with one solitary verse that teaches or implies that it comes AFTER the 1,000 years millennium, then WHERE does that information come from, if not from your own mind, your own interpretation, your own thinking?
During the millennial period sin will still be apart of the those who are mortal and who will be repopulating the earth.
Do you make this stuff up as you go along? Where in all of Scriptures does it teach what you just said, where is this teaching coming from, because i assure you with no doubts whatsoever, it does not come from Scriptures or from God. Tell us, where is there a reference or even a hint that sin will be a part of the millennial period, just one verse please. Know you not that all those that are not written in the Book of life will be destroyed. That is the whole purpose of the vials being poured out upon the Earth, they will totally destroy all sinners who were not taken up with Christ. The 7th Trumpet is blown, Christ takes the Church, then the 7 vials are poured out, to wipe all the wicked off the face of the Earth, only the 144,000 will be redeemed from the old Earth, they are protected by Angels during the 7 Year Tribulation Period. NO wicked will survive the 7 vials, None of them will be left for the millennium period.
Therefore, God is not going to bring in the new heaven, new earth and new Jerusalem while there are still people existing with the sinful nature.
Scriptures teaches plainly that this indeed is exactly what happens, that is why it is written that nothing that defiles or maketh a lie, shall enter into the New City Jerusalem. Why does it say that? Because they are present WITH the New City Jerusalem being HERE on EARTH. All the nations shall come against Him to fight the New City Jerusalem when it appears, then after that all nations shall come to worship there every year. Well at least for the next 3 1/2 years that is. Because when Christ shows up in the New City, and Raptures the Church to live with Him in the New City, that is when the 7 vials will start to be poured out, to wipe all those who were not taken up with Christ off the Earth, save the 144,000 who will live through the vials and repopulate the Earth for the millennium period.
The new heaven, earth and Jerusalem will come after all have been cast into the lake of fire and all that is left are the righteous.
Answer me this, when Christ shows up and takes ALL THE RIGHTEOUS, who are those that are left? If Christ takes all the Righteous, how do you say there are righteous left?
When satan is released, there is going to be a war, satan and all his demons, AND ALL THOSE WHO WILLINGLY OBEYED HIM, will rise from the dead, flesh appearing on the bones of the dead, and he will have his army, and he will attack Jesus and the Saints that all live in the New City Jerusalem, there will be a battle. Scriptures teaches that satan will lose, but even to this day satan does not believe he will lose, he thinks because he will have the numbers, and he will have many many more in his army then what will be of the Saints, he really thinks he is going to win, that is why satan tries to get as many souls to live in sins as he possibly can, the more numbers he has on his side, he thinks the greater the chance of victory for him. Scriptures teaches he will lose, and will be after he loses that all of his followers and himself also, will be judged, at the Great White Throne Judgment, and they (satan, demons, and all those who live in sin, without ever ceasing from them) will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for ever and ever.
