A mortal believer would be someone who served the tribulation and lived on into the Millenial Kingdom - compared to the resurrected and glorified saints like the apostles who also will inhabit the Millenial Kingdom.

I think you might have stepped into the wrong classroom. Cathartic navel poetry is two doors down.

Yes, well it's all about the Kingdom of God. The Millennial Kingdom is simply a stage or dispensation of the Kingdom of God. Roman Catholics don't like the idea of the Millennial Kingdom because they believe they are the earthly fulfillment of God's Kingdom, and Reformed believers don't like the...

2 Cor 4:3,4 "And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." Sounds a little more...

The theological term that is used to describe the state of the Kingdom at this point is, "Already but not yet". Messiah is already anointed King of the Kingdom of God, but He is not fully in charge of the government here on earth. The Millennial Kingdom is when this is fully realized!

I don't know how you see it this way, Evmur. First of all, the coming of Christ with all His Holy Ones already happened in Rev 14:1, and this is a different event from the coming of Christ with all His Angels - which happens CLEARLY in Rev 19:11-19, before the Millennial Kingdom referenced in...

The New Covenant has already been established - Hebrews 8:7-12 "When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [fn]ready to disappear." Hebrews 8:13 So . . . no, The Millennial Kingdom has NOTHING to do with establishing a...

It is a curious question, Evmur, as the Wedding Feast of the Lamb in Heaven precedes the coming of Messiah with His Angels and the Millennial Kingdom here on Earth. God appears to be carrying out a mystical transformation of the church into The Bride, and it is a different work that he is doing...

I think you're right!

Messiah and the Millennial Kingdom - The passages of scripture that prophecy about Messiah ruling during the Millennial Kingdom are found in both the Old and New Testaments, but it is the Old Testament prophecies we are less familiar with so let's start there. Once again, we can distill these...

The Millennial Kingdom has much to do with Israel Most of the church views Israel and the Temple as an abrogated system, a vestigial organ that is no longer relevant in the Age of Grace. We have perpetual discussions about how the Jews refuse to see the Isiah 53 suffering servant passage and yet...

So to clarify what I'm saying that I believe in my first post on this topic of the Millennial Kingdom is that everyone heading into the Millennial Kingdom is either a mortal believer who has survived the tribulation or a resurrected, glorified believer like the 144,000 and those described in Rev...

We see the timeline of this 1000-year reign of Messiah in Revelation 20:4 - 6 "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not...

Why is this explanation of God's end game of restoring all things to himself through the Bride and the New Jeruselum important in a thread regarding the rapture? The church has not just been removed from the earth to save them from the anti-creation event of Rev 6, they are removed to leave the...

Satan's rebellion was an attempt to replace God in heaven: “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make...
