NASB | Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:6 Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) and holy is the person who takes part in the first resurrection; over these the second death [which is eternal separation from God, the lake of fire] has no power or authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and they will reign with Him a thousand years. [Ex 19:6; 1 Pet 2:5, 9; Rev 1:6; 5:10] |
Bible Question: What is the primary purpose for the Millennial Kingdom? Why is it required and how does it fit into the overall plan for our salvation? I am doing research in this area and I have some ideas beginning to form. |
Bible Answer: Hi, God will not destroy all of unbelieving mankind when Jesus comes. All Israel will be saved on that Day. Why? Because all those of the "nations that are left who come against Jerusalem must come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord annually." Zech.14:16. Again, wherever unbelieving Twosomes are found, "one will be fed to the birds" and the "one who is willing to die will be kept alive." Luke 17:30,33,37. After two-thirds of mankind are killed in the sixth Trumpet, up to one half of the 800 million Muslims who survive may be "kept alive." Their offspring, as well as those of 2000 million from other peoples who survive, will produce either sheep or goat nations who will be separated at the End of the Millennium. I emphasize Muslims because the descendants of the twelve Tribes of Ishmael are due to be "blessed through Israel's natural seed" to completely fulfill God's promise to Abraham.
