The big problem I see with that idea is that Yeshua and the redeemed Body of Messiah will rule over the nations with a rod of iron. That implies being harsh and quenching wrongdoing quickly.
Now, some of you guys are talking about we all have nothing to do with a resurrection or eternal life till after the 1000 years. Well, it seems from what I read that the 1000 years will be characterized by sin that is still present in the kingdom, people will be born, people will die, those that don't toe the line will have rain withheld from their land and such. Things will finally escalate to the point that when Satan is released, he is able to foment almost a world wide rebellion against Yeshua. People once again, even with a planet restored to almost another Garden of Eden state, will want to throw off the rule of God. It seems that 1000 years will require ruling with a rod of iron.
So, did Yeshua just pull our chain when He said that those of the church who overcome will rule with a rod of iron along side Him? And if the removal of the righteous being changed and caught up to meet the Lord only happens at his literal, physical return to the earth, who are the righteous that are still on the earth and remain mortal to go into the kingdom to repopulate it and produce the offspring that some will eventually rebel against Yeshua per the scripture?
I don't see any evidence in scripture that after the new earth and new Jerusalem are brought forth, that there will be conditions that warrant Yeshua ruling with a "rod of iron" like a authoritarian despot. So it seems that is only applicable to the 1000 year reign.
And that there speaks volumes. If it is so perfect, then why does it only last 1000 years? It isn't perfect and sin will still be present from those who survived the tribulation period went into the kingdom as mortals. They are the righteous of the nations that are judged so at His return. They will have children and some of those may not be so righteous.
