Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God |

Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple
therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. |
The perfected Kingdom of God has two types of people: heavenly immortal saints and the earthly immortal saints. The heavenly immortal saints are the raptured and resurrected saints who from the first resurrection have received immortal bodies like Christ now has and which are far superior to earthly bodies. The immortal saints are a fixed number and do not marry or procreate. They are the bride of Christ and rule as King and Queen of the Universe. They are not limited by space, time, matter in their travel to and fro throughout the universe to do the King's business or enjoy their leisure. Their homes are in the New Jerusalem above the earth from where they rule as kings and priests with Christ governing over an ever increasing Kingdom. As the Kingdom grows so do their dominion and rulership. The Father and the angels live their also. The second type of immortals are the saved nations at the end of the Millenium. Their reward for their faithfulness is having death taken away from them and to eat of the tree of life to stay eternally young, immortal , and have divine health. They multiply and have children forever populating the Kingdom of God as it increases forever outward taking dominion over the stars, planets, galaxies that God created for us from the beginning of creation and that Adam and Eve had failed in. They originally were told to be fruitful and multiply before the fall. Now, God has an immortal earthly people worthy to fulfill that original purpose and an immortal heavenly people to rule over the Kingdom of God and be the queen and bride of His son - the Lord Jesus Christ: King of kings and Lord of lords forever and ever. AMEN. |
