    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    AND the story of the rich man and Lazarus tells us what Abraham's bosom was like. It was not heaven, and it was not fully hell. But they were all together with a wide divide of separation. And they could even talk to each side. Sorry but this cannot be heaven, but it is the place where all OT...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    It is the whole reason Christ came and died, so that people would not perish but have an eternal life in Heaven with God. To perish meant to die and go to hades, hell, etc.. it was never heaven where anyone went before Christ came and died. For more complete relevance this here John 3 9...

    It can not be any part of heaven, that would be saying the OT saints at death ascended into heaven, and Jesus tells us no one did. John 3:13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

    Acts 2 tells us where Christ went the day He died. Christ being fully God and man, experienced the same death all men did. He would have gone to where the righteous dead who died were in Hades. He would have met with Abraham and all the other OT saints of God. No one has ascended into Heaven...

    I get that from when Jesus tells the thief on the cross with Him, this Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Ask yourself this, on the day Christ died, where did he go? Christ does not ascend to the Father into Heaven until after...

    All who are not taken up to meet the Lord in the air when He comes will be left behind and killed.

    Jesus alludes to the truth the earth and all it's works will burn in an oven in Luke 12, in one day This is what Peter and Paul means by a sudden destruction by fire. God has appointed a day in the future when this will happen, see we are futurists, we are to look forward to these things, not...

    As when the flood occurred, all flesh that breathed air, died. But their spirits were imprisoned in hell, or the place of death, sheol, hades, Tartarus etc... And Jesus descends at death into the lower parts of the earth and interacts with them. 1 Peter 3 Christ’s Suffering and Ours 18 For...

    Their bodies will burn up along with the earth, their spirits will be gathered and cast into Hell, or the Lake of fire. The wicked don't cease to exist as if they never were. We will be aware of what happened to them, where they are.

    The time of Noah in genesis 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said...

    Matthew 13 The Parable of the Dragnet 47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at...

    This is the harvest of souls from the earth The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the...

    Specifically though taken where? Taken to destruction to be eaten by birds. The idea is the righteous remain with Christ at His return, while the unbelieving wicked are cast away into the fire. Cut off from the vine of life Both are gathered or taken by angels, either to destruction as in cast...

    You need to align your mind with Jesus's teaching and the apostle's doctrines, not with what you are assuming the OT prophecies are saying, as you are not in agreement with the sound words of Jesus and His apostles.

    There is no rain in Egypt for thousands of years now. So it is not talking of physical rain

    Three things are taught us here that occur on the last day of this world Can anyone deny this? Jesus returns The dead are raised incorruptible The Day of Judgment 2 Timothy 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing...

    Scripture also says we shall all be changed at the return of Christ 1 Cor 15, the entre chapter is about the coming resurrection is it not? There will be no more death, and the former things have passed away. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God...

    The 1000 years is not what you are thinking. Consider also that the nations exist after the new heavens and new earth are created. The 1000 year reign of Christ is in heaven and is right now. Only on the new earth will the meek inherit the earth. Revelation 5, because of what v13 is saying...

    Psalm 24 1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the [a]waters. And God has the right to do what He will with His own things Matthew 20 14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish...

    All the people referred to in the above are the people of God, believers in Christ. Those who survive of the nations are those God has saved. Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to...
