The resurrected wicked:

Joh_5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Isa 24:22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Rev 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. ..."

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.​

Newp! Nothing about resurrected evil dead here ! Satan goes forth to DECEIVE the nations. The wicked dead were already deceived, & died still deceived. Satan will bring new deceptions to the people of earth.

God's people are the "rod of Iron":

“with a rod of iron” – The Rod (King’s Sceptre) of the Shepherd, the ruling and corrector, judge, rod of inheritance, separator of chaff from wheat, voice of the LORD, that which is used to feed with, head over the house; see Gen. 49:10; Exo. 4:17; Lev. 27:32; Num. 17:3, 24:17; 2 Sam. 7:14, 23:21; 1 Chr. 11:23; Job. 9:34, 37:13; Psa. 23:4, 45:6; 74:2, 89:32, 110:2; Pro. 10:13, 13:24, 22:15, 23:13-14, 26:3, 29:15; Isa. 10:24, 11:1,4, 14:5,29, 28:27, 30:31; Jer. 10:16, 51:19; Lam. 3:1; Eze. 19:11,14, 20:37, 21:10,13; Amo. 1:5,8; Mic. 5:1, 7:14; Zec. 10:11; and a ‘rod’ is also a ‘tribe’ or people group (H7626), such as ‘Israel’ (Natural or Spiritual), see Gen. 49:16; Deut. 29:8; Jos. 13:6-7, 23:4; Psa. 78:55; Pro. 27:17; Isa. 10:4-5,15, 49:6; Jer. 1:18; Eze. 37:19; and "iron" is that which breaks in pieces all others; symbol of strength, even of defense (walls of iron, etc), see Lev. 26:19; Job. 28:2, 40:18; Pro. 27:17; Jer. 15:12; Dan. 2:40, and thus a “rod of iron”, see Num. 35:16; Psa. 2:9; Isa. 11:4; Rev. 2:27, 12:5, 19:15.​

To reign with Christ Jesus is not to "reign over" other people, as the text says to "reign with", not "reign over".

1Co_4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.​

Since the scriptures reveal that the Saints are not on the Earth during the "1000 years", and the unrighteous do "not inherit the Kingdom of God" [1 Corinthians 6:9-10], how then can it be taught that the Saints "reign" over the wicked as some assume? The scriptures never speak of the Saints reigning "over" the wicked, but rather the scriptures say that the Saints shall "reign with Christ Jesus". What does this mean? Let us look at some instances of how the scriptures use the word "reign" here:

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) (Romans 5:17)

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. (1 Corinthians 4:8)

If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us: (2 Timothy 2:12)

Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)​

It is not a 'reign over the wicked' as some have judged. It is rather a "reign[ing] with CHRIST JESUS" in life and peace.

Christ Jesus said it will not be like those who "exercise lordship" over others:

And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. (Luke 22:25)

But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. (Luke 22:26)​

See Dominion:


Still twisting Scripture in the good ole Seven-Day-Adlibber way !

The rod of iron will be Jesus' will & His power to enforce it. And again, for one to reign, there must be someone to reign over. And that'll be the mortal men of the earth.

Since when did name-calling become grounds of a solid refutation of a position one disagrees with? I provided scriptural evidence, even that, in abundance. What did you provide in contradistinction to that documentation in the word of God? Name-calling. Well, if you are satisfied with that defense, so be it. I would be ashamed of taking such a position as that.
Well, a cult is a CULT. And you provided more opinion of what your gurus told you certain Scriptures mean. I have Bibles, same as you, & I believe what's in them, not what some other person SAYS what's in them. Presenting false doctrine brings on name-calling. And the SDA ad-libs Scripture a lot with their private interps.

I have a friend that is sure there will be bacon trees on the New Earth.

Personally I believe some may have a faulty view of what biblical death really means.

I am fairly sure there will be no tofu and lima beans. I have wondered about deviled eggs.

I think I can understand your comment about 'no tofu', but not sure why you think there will be no lima beans (at least its kind) there? The Bible mentions 'beans' and even that which is related like Carob (locusta bean)

Beans

2Sa_17:28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,
Eze_4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.​

Locusta bean pods:

Mat_3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Mar_1:6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;​

Eggs are not eaten in Heaven. Eggs are the seed of the womb (belonging to a menstrual period cycle), and come of the creatures of this world, which produce after their "kind".

I think there will be beans and peas. But I do not believe lima beans were intended as food.

I look forward to eating to my hearts delight and gaining not a single pound!
Heaven (also NH & NE) are about eating to God's glory, and according to His will, thus temperance:

1Co_10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.​

Angels themselves eat for strength:

Ecc_10:17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

Psa_103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.​

You really ought to leave the qur'an alone. It's riddled with nonsense.

I know the question is what will we eat?
But who’s going to do the dishes and clean up after all this mess?

Muslima would never eat ham or bacon
Not true. Their sources say in an emergency of lack of other options for food, it is allowed. Do you need the reference?

Consider: Permissibility of haraam things in the case of necessity and the conditions governing that - Islam Question & Answer

Also: Is it haram to touch a pig , to smell it, or to go even near it?

"... To answer your question shortly:
  • It is haram to eat pork, but one may be allowed in certain cases of necessity. ..."
Other references:

Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith 3816

Comments [ruling]:
When one is helpless and destitute and finds nothing to eat, he will be excused for eating what is otherwise unlawful.​

Sahih Muslim Book 008 Number 3261

"... It was permitted in the early days of Islam, (for one) who was driven to it under the stress of necessity just as (the eating of) carrion and the blood and flesh of swine ..."​

New Heavens and New Earth:

Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.​
