Bible Question:
Such wonderful answers, you all have given, but what about the earth? Is it possible that only the martyrs will reign in heaven? Who will live on earth? Below are just a few scriptures that lead me to this question: Mat 5:10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Rev 20:1-6, 21:1ff ... During the 1000 year reign, only those who were beheaded because they didn't worship and recieve that mark of the beast will reign with Him ... there will be others. In the end we Christians will be on earth. |
