Those of us who have been blessed to receive faith in Christ here and now, in this life, and "willingly" follow Him (even unto death), then we will enjoy that first resurrection, who will reign and rule with Christ, judging the nations (those who don't believe now), we are they who Christ says will sit on His throne as He sits on His Fathers throne. Those who do not believe here and now will NOT be sitting on thrones but will be judged. They are not going to enjoy the "age-abiding" life Jesus promised His followers. However, all those who will later be judged, will eventually repent and fall in love with God as we have, but the rewards will be few. Look at Jonah 2:2, he is in "hell"(KJV) being afflicted "forever"(vs 6), but God hears his cry and saves him. Was Jonah's hell a literal place of eternal firery torture? Or was it a place of correction, a time for Jonah to repent of his rebellion? Look now at Rev 22:2, the tree of life is reintroduced after such an long time (since the garden), it is growing out of the water of life (which is offered to those outside the city in verse 15-17) and the leaves of the tree is for the healing of the nations(see also Ez 47:6-12). Do those in side the Holy City need healing? Ofcoarse not, but those outside (vs 15) are in need of healing. And they will be healed!
Listen Angelina, I know you have a good heart and longing to know God and the Truth. As do I...please pray that God opens to you His awesome plan to restore all things, yes all things! No, I don't think I know everything, but I do know that I believed as you do for 30+ years until God showed me this awesome truth. I love it when God shows me something new, and shows me how wrong I was yesterday. Every day God shows me something different, changing what I thought I knew. But this is how we grow, our walk with Christ cannot come if we cement our feet to a particular set of doctrines taught by men. no one can walk with cement shoes. I am always willing to say "oops! guess I had that wrong?" I don't need to be right, I want to learn the truth about Gods True Character taught to us through scripture, the life of Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
