Millennial Believers And Eternity
Posted in: Ask a Bible Teacher
When the old heaven and earth are then destroyed to make way for the new heaven and earth, does the bible say anything specific about the apparent need for another rapture, or transfer to immortality for those mortal believers in order to survive the destruction of the “old” and to live in the “new”?
Q. I understand there will be mortal people living in the 1000 year reign of Christ that begins after the tribulation period. Some will be destroyed in a rebellion against Christ near the end of the millennium. Those left, of course are true believers. When the old heaven and earth are then destroyed to make way for the new heaven and earth, does the bible say anything specific about the apparent need for another rapture, or transfer to immortality for those mortal believers in order to survive the destruction of the “old” and to live in the “new”?
A. Very little is known about the relationship that Millennial believers will have with the Lord, and even less is known about eternity. We do know that theirs will be different from ours because no other group will ever enjoy the relationship we have with the Lord. Through the ages yet to come people will look at the Church and see the incomparable riches of God’s grace. (Ephes. 2:7) That means that nothing else will ever compare to it.
