Living In The Millennium

Q. I was so glad someone asked the question about who lives where in the Millennium, because I was wondering the exact same thing. To go a step further, say we have a family member who gets saved during the Tribulation, but we get raptured. It is true to assume they could not visit us in the New Jerusalem, but that we could visit them on Earth then? And where are the Biblical heroes and redeemed people of the Old Testament… And where will we all live after the 1,000 years are over, if there is mention of that?

A. Believing Tribulation survivors will help re-populate the Earth in the Millennium. As such they’ll still be in their natural states which means they’ll still have a sin nature. This will disqualify them from entrance into the New Jerusalem, (Rev. 21:27) but we will be able to visit them on Earth.

I believe that Old Testament saints will live in Israel on Earth. Beyond saying that there is one, there is no mention in the Bible of life in eternity sufficient to permit any kind of description.
