The Millennium Kingdom: Two Sections & Three Classes
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.
