Q. Thank you for your daily wisdom from the living Word.  The recent discourse on the Restoration and the Seven Dispensations brought a question to mind regarding the Kingdom Age:  What makes the Millennium end in failure and judgment?  I’ve always thought it was our Lord’s final triumph over evil–when he briefly looses them to send them into everlasting punishment.  Please enlighten me as to what I have missed here.

Q. Will there be saved people with mortal bodies going into eternity?  During the Millennium people die occasionally so they must be mortal.  After Satan makes war against the saints he and his followers are sent to lake of fire after great white throne judgment.  Then eternity starts but I can’t find where those saved people that did not take part in judgment have been translated with eternal bodies.  Is it possible that mortals will live in eternity the way Adam and Eve were supposed to ?

Q. First I just want to thank you and say how much your site has meant to me, your answers are always well thought out and clear up a lot of difficult scriptures.   Revelation 22:2 shows the river flowing down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.   What is the meaning of the leaves of the tree of life for the healing of the nations? Aren’t we all in our new bodies and all the curses are gone?  Aren’t we in the new heaven new earth and new Jerusalem?  Thanks again for any insight you can provide.

Q. I’m sure the New Jerusalem is awesome beyond comprehension. At first, a part of me wants to be a little unsure about it because I have thoughts of somehow being restricted to it and not having the freedom to explore the Universe. I keep telling myself that I will be in such awe and amazement  just being in the presence of my Lord Jesus that I will be totally satisfied in every way and not concerned with anything else.

Q. Thank you for the great articles. I learn something new or have something reinforced every time I read them.

Will Gentiles be alive at the end of the Tribulation and enter into the Millennium or will it be only the Jews who enter?

Q. I just read an article by a pastor who is explaining the scripture where Jesus says “In my Father’s house there are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you…” This pastor explains that “mansion” actually means “residence” or “resident”. A resident (as in a new doctor being a “resident” in a hospital) is actually a place of authority. So his understanding of this verse is that God has prepared a “place of authority” in his government for each of us and not a “large house” as most of us believe.  I find this disappointing. What are your thoughts on this?

Q. Am I correct in thinking that the New Jerusalem is not actually heaven?  Will the New Jerusalem be our home for eternity or does anyone know for sure?  The Bible does not give any hints , as far as I know, as to what will happen after the Millennium, so are we to assume that it will be our eternal home?

Q. Would you please explain what Jesus was referring to as “the end of the age” in this parable?  Is it the end of this age, which will cease at the end of the Tribulation, and then goes right in to the 1000 year reign of Christ?  Or is it referring to the end of the 1000 years just before going into eternity?  Verse 43 says “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father..”  Is this referring to the Millennium or eternity?

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

Jesus said to them (the Disciples), “I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matt. 19:28)

He (Jesus) must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. (Acts 3:21)

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new.” Then He said, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.” (Rev. 21:5-6)

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. (Isaiah 35:1-2)

The End times judgments will be devastating in the extreme, and the Lord warned that if He didn’t bring them to a close at the appointed time, not a single soul would survive (Matt. 24:22). But for the sake of the elect, He will bring them to a close and when He does the restoration will begin.
