The New earth is populated by the saved of the nations. (Rev. 21: 24)
The New Jerusalem is the light over the earth and is populated by the Old Testament saints as God promised them.
(Heb. 11: 16)
The Third heaven is the seat of power and authority of the Lord, on Mount Zion, set there by the Father. The Body of Christ (called out of Israel and called out of the nations) is with the Lord there.(Ps. 2: 6)

Each realm has people that God has prepared to rule there. God is overall. (1 Cor. 15: 28)
God's word clearly teaches this earth will pass away, it will be a completely new creation in a new heave, earth, Jerusalem

You have the eternal New Heaven And Earth, Existing with the present earth "False"

You go even further to claim there's a 3rd Heaven where Gods throne is and you have another group of saved there?

Sorta like a Jehovahs Witness teaching where only 144,000 will be at God's throne?

Revelation 21:1KJV
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.

God is omnipresent - everywhere present by His Holy Spirit.

The New earth is populated by the saved of the nations. (Rev. 21: 24)

Each realm has people that God has prepared to rule there. God is overall. (1 Cor. 15: 28)
We shall reign with Him on the new earth. Wherever God is, He reigns. You're dodging this. Christ also has a glorified body; do you not think Christ is God?

John 14

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

So as King who are you ruling over?
The same that Jesus is ruling over because I belong to Him. He said He has power and authority over all of heaven and earth and those who belong to Him share in that authority because of Him dwelling in our hearts.

Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Why are you unaware of the power and authority we have available to us as followers of Christ? Have you never read this...

Matthew 18:15 If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. 18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

This passage reflects the kind of power and authority that Christians now have. Having anything we agree about being done for us if we ask for it? You can't have any more power and authority than that. Of course, it has to be according to God's will, but we still have been given much power and authority as the followers of Christ.

Here are other scriptures which show the kind of power and authority that is given to Christians now. Christians should not be ignorant of these scriptures.

Luke 10:16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Titus 2:15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

We are made kings and priests, however there is a proving time of being overcomers. First to rule in our own life and also to intercede for others. We will not have full function till we are with the Lord on His own throne in the highest over all God`s great kingdom.
It's sad that you and many other Christians do not understand the power and authority we have available to us right now.

I agree that the present earth and heaven (universe) will pass away. Sorry if I didn`t come over clear enough. Then note in the New heavens and New earth the New Jerusalem comes out of the highest heaven where it was, (Heb. 12: 22) to the Universal realm. (Rev. 21: 2) It is then the light over the earth. (Rev. 21: 23)

BTW It is the JW`s who believe that the believers are on the earth.

Yes, the Lord has a glorified body and we shall be like Him. His seat of power and authority is set on Mount Zion (Ps. 2: 6) in the highest heaven. That is where He will rule overall.

I do understand that power and authority in the spirit realm. We are not however, kings and Priests over the nations as yet.

At that time it will only be the nations of them that are saved. There will be no unsaved, unredeemed people left on the new earth.

Revelation 21

23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine [a]in it, for the [b]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

24 And the nations [c]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor [d]into it.

25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

I agree `saved of the nations.` However we, the Body of Christ are called OUT of the nations and are the New Man.

God will be upon the New Earth in New Jerusalem, where he will dwell amongst the saved righteous Rev 21:1-5 the saved nations shall enter the gates of New Jerusalem where God dwells on the New Earth Rev 21:23-27KJV

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
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.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:23-27KJV
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.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Do you believe in a literal 1,000 year millennial kingdom upon this earth at the return of Jesus Christ?

100% "False"!

Many just don't want to let go of their little pet 1,000 year kingdom on this earth that doesn't exist in scripture
So you don't pray the Lord's prayer ?

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Not one word provided removes the fact when Jesus returns (Then Cometh The End) no millennial kingdom on this earth following

Paul clearly taught that when Jesus returns the resurrection of the dead takes place, (Then Cometh The End) its that simple (The End) not a 1,000 year kingdom on this earth as many "Falsely" claim


1 Corinthians 15:21-24KJV
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end
, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

The scripture above is in perfect agreement with Jesus being revealed in fire and brimstone as seen below (Then Cometh The End) as all the unsaved wicked are destroyed at the Lord's return

(Destroyed Them All)


Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


The resurrection of "All" is seen below and the wicked are judged to eternal damnation, this is when the "Final Judgement" takes place (The End)


John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth
; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Jesus clearly taught that the resurrection of "All" takes place on "The Last Day" this is in perfect agreement with the scripture above

John 6:39-40KJV

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Where and when does it say that happens?


Where - Rev. 3: 21 Rev. 4: 2 - 4. On the Lord`s own throne in the highest heaven.

When - Acts 3: 21 & 22. The restoration of `all things` starts with the inauguration of the glorified Lord Jesus as visible sovereign ruler overall God`s great kingdom.

John 5:28-29KJV
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth
; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Jesus clearly taught that the resurrection of "All" takes place on "The Last Day" this is in perfect agreement with the scripture above

John 6:39-40KJV

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Currently the kingdoms of this world are under the influence of Satan and his fallen angels. The kingdoms of this world do not do the will of God.

In Revelation 11:15, when the seventh angel sounds, signaling the third woe to the inhabiters of the earth of Satan being cast down having but a time, times, half time left - it says...

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

So when Jesus returns, He brings the kingdom of Heaven to be the kingdom of God here on this earth to rule over the nations for the 1000 years in Revelation 20. And the resurrected great tribulation matyrers will rule with Him that 1000 years.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

----------------------------------------------------------

Do you think Jesus is going to reign only a thousand years ? No, Jesus is going to reign forever. The thousand years is only on this present earth after He returns.

Yes I believe there is a literal 1,000 years rule of the Lord Jesus Christ through Israel as promised. A king called David will be the regent and there will be Priests also. (Ex. 37: 24 Isa. 66: 21)

When Jesus returns he will dissolve this earth by fire in final judgment, the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, will be revealed for "Eternity"

There won't be a 1,000 year millennial kingdom on this earth, the teaching is a fabricated fairy tale of man as you've been show several times

In Amill there is an Earthly Millennial kingdom, happening now since the cross.
In Premill the Mill. kingdom comes after the second coming and events are completed.
