Bible Question:
During a get-together at a church, a man said that those who would be reigning with Christ were to be alive for 900 years-plus, as in the days before the flood. I questioned that notion, and the pastor actually agreed with him so I asked where the Bible might mention such a thing. I was told it was somewhere in Isaiah. Can anybody tell me what they might be speaking of? |
Bible Answer: Hello sonofmom, I'm unfamiliar with "those who would be reigning with Christ were to be alive for 900 years-plus",(?) Are we talking about the millennium as - The period of 1,000 years referred to in Revelation chapter 20, where Satan is bound and believers reign with Jesus Christ? As Tyndale bible Dictionary notes: "The idea of a thousand-year reign may also be supported by passages such as Acts 3:19–21 and 1 Corinthians 15:23–26, which speak of a future restoration and reign of Christ." As far as I'm aware, the doctrine of this believers reign with Christ is only explicitly taught in Revelation! My cursory review and check in Isaiah finds no such references? BradK |
