The Ultimate Blessing of God’s Redeemed People in Eternity
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and seated
upon them, and authority over judgment. And I
saw the souls of those who were beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for the word of God, and of
those who had not worshiped the beast or
its image, nor had it
marked on their foreheads or hands—they all lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed are those who participated in the first
resurrection; they are sanctified, and the
second death has no power over them. They will
be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 22:5 There will be no more night, and they will need neither lamp nor sun, for the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever.
