Rulership on the New Earth.
Israel ruling over the Nations under Christ`s Authority.
God says to King David - `Your house and your kingdom shall be established for ever before Me. Your throne shall be established forever.` (2 Sam. 7: 16)
Israel was created by God as the nation to rule the other nations of the world. Even though they rebelled against God there would be those who bowed before Him. These are the ones in Israel who will go onto the New Earth and rule under the Lord.
There will be a King from David`s line who will rule in the millennium and on the New Earth as God has promised.
`They (Israel) shall serve the Lord their God and David their King, whom I will raise up for them.` (Jer. 30: 9)
The Nations on the New Earth.
` And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the Kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it.` (Rev. 21: 24)
Here we see that there are people who have been saved from eternal judgment and have been given life upon the earth. They live in the light of the city which is above them. The `light` gives light and life to all.
Some of these people are the great multitude from the great tribulation.
` I saw a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.
These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation,....They shall neither hunger any more nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.` (Rev. 7: 9, 14 - 17)
These people have died of hunger, thirst and great heat during the great tribulation, however, they cried out to God and He saved them. They `follow,` obey the Lord, serving Him under His Tabernacle the New Jerusalem.
This is shown by the symbol of the palm branches they have in their hand. Palm branches were used to make makeshift tabernacles looking for the fulfilment. God`s glorious Tabernacle has come down to near the earth, revealing that God, by His Spirit is dwelling, Tabernacling with His people over the New Earth.
The martyrs also are on the New Earth, in rulership positions, as they did in the millennium.
