Bible Question:
Shalom everyone, First let me thank all who responded to my response regarding the New Heaven and New Earth (New Jerusalem included within). Here's another puzzler for me: If, accroding to NT all within New Jerusalem are believers and according to NT we (believers) are to rule and reign - OVER WHAT are we ruliing and reigning? Or is this just to mean during the millenial reign where I understand that many will be born of those left alive (believers at its instigation) that will NOT follow God's Ways? Thank you |
Bible Answer: Ariel, I would point to Genesis 1 for the answer. What was mankind originally to rule over? Answer: Creation. We also have indication in the gospels that this will include the angels. In Christ, Beja |
