That's right. But not according to the law, which is what is in view in the Deuteronomy passage you cited.

According to God's Word, We will reign as Kings and Priests with Him. Life will be governed by His Sole Authority to Everyone in the World, a complete Theocracy. But those who are born within this Kingdom Rule still have one of two realities to face, Live for King Jesus or live for king self.

The ones who populate the Kingdom will be the ones who were a part of the Sheep and Goat judgment of Matthew 25. The one who is Left, is left to enter into the Kingdom. The one who is Taken, is taken into outter darkness.

Also stems from principles from Matthew 24

I believe a lot of Kingdom Parables have Dual fulfillment, During the age when Christ's Body is on earth and Also the Age when Christ Himself is on earth.

The people who populate the Kingdom...the priesthood will operate as Christ commands us to, as the Word of God will be With us...The Counselor, Everlasting Father and the increase of His government and peace shall be no end.

Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. ---- Are these the ones who will, reign as Kings and Priests with Him? - from OT Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. A people for his name, kings and priests, predestined?

Acts 15:16 After this (taking out of the nations a people for his name, to reign as kings and priests with him)

Reign over whom? And how will this priesthood operate? Arron asked.
My question. Of what order will these priests be of? Levi or Mel?

I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

How long will that take? And what is the purpose of doing that? Are these of the tabernacle of David to be an example to anyone else of the promises of God?

Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

Now dovetail these in there somewhere.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:20,21

Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

I can't confess to any of those, but I will venture an answer (which will probably result in my being slammed on all sides.)

The millennial kingdom is a reflection of Jesus' teaching:
And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house — for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment. But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them. And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’

The Revelation is a form of Jewish literature. I'm sure the original audience could understand the complex symbolisms. We moderns want to impose our own understanding on it. The Whore is the Roman Catholic Church. (No, it's the Roman Empire.) Over and over we want to fit its words into a modern coherence.

Spoiler alert: God wins Anything else is just speculation.

But, the 1000 years ends . . . so what's the point?

Yes, but would they look as good on his head? :D

I had a Yamaha Virago some years ago, and on the manufacturers crest on the left engine cover was the Yamaha symbol, a tuning fork, relating back to their original products, musical instruments. :)View attachment 1112

I'm not sure that would be possible. I did hear that Muslims get 21 Viragos when they die.

Who are we to presume we can question God. Why is it that every prophesy in the bible can be taken literally (because we've documented the outcome) but new testament prophesy somehow doesn't hold the same value or respect. God didn't change His MO. There will be a Millennium, there will be 144,000 real Jews preaching the gospel after a real rapture.

It is not up to ask why, just to understand that it will come to pass.

So did Paradise, As well as Noah's generation of people, As did the Law of Conscience (Pre-moses' law), as did Moses Law, As will The Church age, As will the Millennial Kingdom, but then there is a New Heaven and earth and New Jerusalem that WILL NOT END.

Oh. I thought you were quoting Isaiah in support of Premillennialism. I agree. Christ established His Kingdom, He IS King of kings and Lord of lords (not will be, but is), and His Kingdom is eternal.

Right, but we deal with *Time*, God is Outside of Time. Aspects of His Kingdom have been coming in Chunks, IMHO. He still is going to make good on His promises of Ruling the Nations, All people, far and wide, with His Feet planted in Jerusalem. I do support a literal 1000 year reign because of promises Made to His children throughout His Holy Word.

How are you questioning me?

Either you take the scripture at face value or not. Why is it everything is literal except the end? There is no logical reason to presume God has changed His nature.
