Which Set Of People Will Occupy The Millenial Kingdom Of Christ? by jiggaz(op): 8:28pm On Aug 17, 2015
I saw dis interesting article in a blog and i decided to share it.....


Question: "Who will occupy the Millennial
Kingdom?"


Answer: There will be two distinct groups occupying
the Earth during the millennial kingdom—those with
glorified bodies, and those with earthly bodies who
lived through the tribulation and on into the
millennial kingdom. Those with glorified bodies
consist of the Church, receiving glorified bodies at
the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ; 1 Corinthians
15:21-23 , 51-53 ), and those who are resurrected
after Christ returns to Earth (Revelation 20:4-6 ).
Those who have earthly bodies can be subdivided
into two groups: believing Gentiles and believing
Jews (Israel).

In Revelation 19:11-16 , we find the return of Jesus
Christ to Earth, known as His second coming. The
rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ; 1 Corinthians
15:51-53 ) is an appearing of Christ in the air, not
His second coming. I mention this to make a
distinction between the rapture and the second
coming of Christ. There is no mention in Revelation
19-20 of any kind of rapture event. The implication
is that saints who are on Earth when Christ returns
will remain on Earth to enter the millennial kingdom
in their natural bodies. If the rapture or any kind of
event where a living believer receives a glorified
body were included in the second coming of Christ
to Earth, one would expect to find reference to such
a major event in Revelation 19 . But no such
reference is to be found. The only event that results
in believers receiving glorified bodies is found in
Revelation 20:4-6 where those who became
believers during the Tribulation and were killed
because of their faith are resurrected. It is also
believed that at this same time Old Testament
saints will be resurrected, also receiving glorified
bodies (see Daniel 12:2 ).

Matthew 25:31-46 is another passage that should
be considered. This passage is commonly called
the separation or judgment of the sheep and the
goats. The sheep and goats refer to righteous and
unrighteous Gentiles. Christ will judge the
unrighteous Gentiles (goats), and they will be cast
into the lake of fire for eternal punishment ( Matthew
25:46 ). Therefore, no unbelieving Gentile will
survive to live on into the millennial kingdom. The
righteous Gentiles, or sheep, will live on into the
millennial kingdom. They will give birth to children
and will populate the Earth. However, these are not
the only ones who will be producing children during
the millennial kingdom.

The impression is given that when Christ returns, all
Israel will trust in Him ( Zechariah 12:10 ). They, too,
will not receive glorified bodies (as did those who
were raptured prior to the tribulation and those
resurrected afterward). They also will produce
children during the millennial kingdom.

So, believing Gentiles, Israel, and resurrected/
raptured believers (all of whom have glorified
bodies) will occupy the Earth. It should be noted,
however, that believers with glorified bodies will not
be reproducing. There is no marriage after this life
( Matthew 22:30 ).

Children born during the millennial kingdom will
have the responsibility of faith in Christ as all
people of past ages have (faith in Christ since His
coming; faith in God before— Genesis 15:2-6 ;
Habakkuk 2:4 ; Romans 3:20 ). Unfortunately, not all
of the children that are born during the millennial
kingdom will come to faith in Christ. Those that do
not will be led away by Satan into rebellion against
God at the end of the millennial kingdom when
Satan is let loose for a short time (Revelation
20:7-10 ).
