Subject: where dpes ezekiel 37 fit? |
Bible Note: wow, thanks for the follow-up, rsinanan! ok, here are my thoughts on your response: john said ""...we know that, when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him just as he is. (1 john 3:2)" this harmonizes with what paul said about putting on immortality. but note, that christ could be touched, could eat after he resurrected *_*. so there will be bodies, though of different nature. but christ also said in the resurrection,like with the angels, there will no longer be marriages *_* among the resurrected humans. so whatever increase g-d would make in this new environment (economy *_*)will have to be done some other way, i suppose. as to isaiah 65, v.20 talks of death. it is a possibility that before the creation of the new heavens and the new earth (v. 17), g-d's ot people will be resurrected to live again in jerusalem, most likely during the millennial reign of Christ. but then, it can also be supposed that this "no marriage among immortals" arrangement are just for those who belong to the first resurrection. and that the rest of the resurrected will die again as mentioned in Isaiah 65:20. then you can be right that this resurrection will indeed be in the new heavens and new earth and all of g-'ds increase in his kingdom will come from this group and the other gentiles who were judged according to their deeds fit to belong to the kingdom rather than in the lake of fire *_*. i did not see this possiblity before. thanks. i will keep this in mind as i continue to study this subject. |
