Will human procreation here on earth always continue? How can God's Kingdom keep increasing if there's going to be a finite number of people entering into it? And as an aside, What about pregnant women who are Christians and who are alive when Jesus Christ returns? Will they go on to give birth once they receive their glorified bodies?
Isaiah 9:7
Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
2Pe 3:10 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.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
This earth, and heaven, the things created in the air above us, will not continue on forever for they are associated with sin and rebellion and must pass away, and the new earth, and heaven, is a place where sin has never been, and sin will never be, and sin and rebellion will never come up again, for the choice is gone between good and evil, and it is only good, and out of all that the saints did on earth only charity, love in action, will continue on forever, which is why out of faith, hope, and charity, charity is the greatest, for faith, and hope, are not needed in heaven because the saints are there.
God said He is going to gather all nations together against Jerusalem to battle, and anybody that burdens themselves with Jerusalem shall be cut in pieces although the whole earth is against her, and the LORD shall go forth and fight against those nations as He did in the day of battle.
God is going to allow all people that do not love Him to follow beast kingdom in Revelation, and when they take the mark of the beast which has to do with technology, which will probably be the microchip linked to satellite, as they try to reduce crime on earth, and believe in no personal God, then God will end this sin business on earth.
When the saints are off the earth the world will attack Jerusalem, the Jews, and Jesus will come back with the saints, and defeat the world, and save Israel, and Jesus and the saints shall rule for 1000 years over one sixth of the world who will be in the flesh, and the kingdom on earth restored to the Jews, which God said He will make a full end of the Gentile governments, and their rulership, but not make a full end of Israel.
After the 1000 years is over then this heaven and earth shall pass away, and the saints in glorified bodies will be at the new heaven and earth, which there is no gender between the saints anymore, and the angels and saints will always feel like they have been there and nowhere else for the former heaven and earth shall not be remembered, nor come to mind.
Jesus said until heaven and earth pass away not one tittle or jot shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled, which Jesus was a sinless man, and fulfilled all the roles of Israel concerning King, Prophet, Saint, High Priest, and was the temple and sacrifice.
But He has not fulfilled the role of perfect King on earth yet for He came as a humble servant, and will fulfill that role in the future when He rules the earth for a thousand years, and when He fulfills that role then the law is fulfilled on earth, and heaven and earth shall pass away.
Some people say the thousand years is spiritual, but how is Jesus ruling if the heathen are still sinning, and not acknowledging Jesus, and Jesus has been ruling ever since He ascended to heaven which is more than a thousand years, but He is not ruling by putting the world down, and sparing some of them yet.
And when He rules the Bible says the LORD shall be King over all the earth, and in that day there shall be one LORD, and His name one, which nobody will recognize any god, or religious figure, but only Jesus, which has not happened yet.
