What is our Inheritance?

[Spiritual Israelite]

Yes, eternal life on the new earth. (Rev. 21: 24).

The Body of Christ is called out of the nations and will have glorified bodies like unto the Lord`s made for the realms above.

You say "Yes", yet I know that you don't actually agree with me that the body of Christ and the sheep are the same people. Is the body of Christ not a label for those who belong to Christ? Of course it is, right? Well, Christ called His followers who belong to Him His sheep as well (see John 10). So, the body of Christ are His sheep that are referenced in Matthew 25:31-46 who will inherit eternal life with glorified bodies in the new heavens and new earth.

The `sheep` are some of the nations ON the earth when Jesus comes. We, the Body of Christ will have already gone to the third heaven to rule with Christ. (Rev. 3: 21) We will judge the world system and fallen angels in the trib. (1 Cor. 6: 2 & 3)

The `sheep` are some of the nations ON the earth when Jesus comes.

How can you not discern that Matthew 25:31-46 is not a judgment of nations? The sheep are individuals, not nations. Nations don't inherit eternal life or get cast into everlasting fire. The body of Christ are those who belong to Christ. The sheep are those who belong to Christ. Therefore, the sheep are the body of Christ. Very simple.

John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

There is one flock of sheep and one shepherd which represents the one body of Christ (the church) and the one Lord and Savior of the one flock of sheep/one body of Christ which is Jesus Christ.

We, the Body of Christ will have already gone to the third heaven to rule with Christ. (Rev. 3: 21) We will judge the world system and fallen angels in the trib. (1 Cor. 6: 2 & 3)

The souls of dead believers go to the third heaven (paradise), but when Jesus returns we, the body of Christ and His sheep, will inherit eternal life in the new heavens and new earth.
