Featured Concerning the impossibility of a 1000 year earthly reign:

Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

The reference is clearly to the Levitical priesthood, not the Melchizedekian one.
There is no need for Christ to operate as Levitical priest on earth.
Do you not think that Christ was operating as a priest on earth by interceding for the disciples and us in John 17? By praying for Peter's faith in Luke 22? By declaring lepers whole? Etc. He received incense, on earth, upon his birth, on earth.

 

Revelation 20:4, ". . . And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. . . ."

 

You can't reign with Christ unless you lost your head and reading some of the comments on here, some of you already qualify... Brother Glen

 

1) It does not say that.

Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heb 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

2) What about the rest of the post?

 

Without question believers who were killed during the tribulation will reign with Christ during the 1000 years. Revelation. 14:13, ". . . And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. . . ."

 

To you. I understand that 1000 years to be on earth, Revelation 11:15, " .
. . And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. . . ." And begins with Revelation 20:4.

 

Except your misinterpretation points to the priesthood of the Law of Moses. That is what coming to earth would not be. Coming to earth will not change the eternal Priesthood. No one after the Cross can be a priest after the Mosaic covenant. Not even a human.


"For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."

Jesus Christ could never be nor ever was a priest after the Law. Moses, and that Law can only be a shadow. They are not even the real thing. They stopped being the shadow at the Cross.

 

Sounds like you have God all figured out and wrapped up in a nice little package of human theology, that is air tight.

 

And he shall offer all its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven [Leviticus 4:26].

Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins [Hebrews 10:11].

Regarding truth contained in the book of Hebrews, did the levitical sacrifices take away sins or did they not?

Regarding Rahab, mentioned later in the book, what is her eternal fate? She lied about Israelite spies she had hidden, and "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, ... and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” [Revelation 21:8]

Finally, is there true eternal torment with fire and brimstone for those who take the mark of the beast [Revelation 14:9-11]?

This is just a check to see if you truly and consistently believe scripture, in particular the 3 books referenced.

 

Your insults reveal many things about you. Try defending your position with scripture instead.

 

Jeconiah’s Curse and the Millennium.


The problem; God placed a curse on Jeconiah “Is this man Coniah [called Jechonias in the LXX ] a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.” (Jeremiah 22:28–30)

Jesus was a descendant of Jeconiah through Shealtiel and Zerubbabel (Matthew 1:12 or Luke 3:27). Some believe God removed the curse when Jeconiah’s grandson Zerubbabel led Judah. However Zerubbabel did not restore David’s throne. He was "governor of Judah" (Haggai 2:2).

So, if you believe Jesus will one day sit on David’s throne in Jerusalem, have you thought about Jeconiah’s curse? If so, how do you cope with Jeconiah’s curse?

I counter the problem believing Jesus now reigns on David’s Throne at God’s right hand in heavenly Jerusalem above. So the curse does not apply.


Mary's geneology

Luke 3:23-38, on the other hand, seems to record the genealogical line of Mary herself, carried all the way back beyond the time of Abraham to Adam and the commencement of the human race. This seems to be implied by the wording of v.23: “Jesus...being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph.” This “as was supposed” indicates that Jesus was not really the biological son of Joseph, even though this was commonly assumed by the public. It further calls attention to the mother, Mary, who must of necessity have been the sole human parent through whom Jesus could have descended from a line of ancestors. Her genealogy is thereupon listed, starting with Heli, who was actually Joseph’s father-in-law, in contradistinction to Joseph’s own father, Jacob (Matt. 1:16). Mary’s line of descent came through Nathan, a son of Bathsheba (or “Bathshua,” according to 1 Chron. 3:5), the wife of David. Therefore, Jesus was descended from David naturally through Nathan and legally through Solomon.

Scripture plainly says Jesus will reign on earth for 1K years:

Rev. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Remember, this is AFTER He returns.

 

Re-read what the verse says.

Jesus reigns forever. The martyrs live and reign with Christ for 1000 years.

 

But....flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. And Jeconiah's curse prevents his offspring, Jesus, from ever ruling in Jerusalem.
