Christ as the Restored Earth vs Christ as King of the Restored Nations

 

Christ as the Restored Earth vs Christ as King of the Restored Nations

Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Let him who has ears to hear, hear.

Matthew 13:41 And the Son of Man will send his angels out of his kingdom every stumbling block and every lawless person.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones and those who were seated on them, with 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 will reign with Christ for a thousand years.

Revelation 20:5 This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead have not been raised until the thousand years are over.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed are those who participate in the first resurrection; they are sanctified. 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.
