Challenges for Pre-Mils.

[Carbon]

Premils,
there are a few questions I have that I don't see answers for. I'd like to ask them and would appreciate an answer if possible, thanks.

Could you explain the identity of the people in resurrected bodies living during the 1,000-year millennium?

Jesus did teach that in the agre to come his people would all be children of the resurrection, And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” Luke 20.

Greetings Carbon,

I consider that those who share the 1000 years with Jesus as kings and priests are all the faithful from the Garden of Eden until the return of Jesus. There are many references, but the following could be sufficient:

Daniel 12:1–4,13 (KJV): 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

2 Timothy 4:1,6–8 (KJV): 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Revelation 5:9–10 (KJV): 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Jesus did teach that in the agre to come his people would all be children of the resurrection, And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” Luke 20.

`And I saw thrones and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or His image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.

And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. (Rev. 20: 4 & 5)

Um, what do you mean people in resurrected bodies living during the 1,000 year millennium? Anyone who is resurrected into the kingdom (the church, believers) are with Jesus in Jerusalem. As for the rest of the Earth, that would obviously be those who survived the Great Tribulation, who continue to live on into the millennium. That would be those who accepted the gospel, became believers in the tribulation, and survived through to the end. They will populate the Earth during the millennium, and their offspring (all?, part?) will become Satan's final army.

Greetings TMSO,

Yes they will have resurrected bodies, and will also rule over all the earth, not just located in Jerusalem.
Matthew 19:28 (KJV): And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Revelation 5:9–10 (KJV): 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The rule of Earth is from Jerusalem. Read prophecy. All the nations on Earth will head to Jerusalem to pay homage to the Son, or they will face famine and desolation. This is also why Satan is attacking the saints (all of them) at... Jerusalem. Seen in Zechariah and at the end of Revelation.

I missed that I already replied to this... oops.

Consider that in the eternal age, everyone who survived the tribulation died of old age, basically, simple mortality. Everyone else is deceived by Satan, and destroyed. So there is no one left on Earth. All go through the second resurrection. (A possibility.)
