Tell that to the kid who went to Heaven and back, which became the basis for the “ Heaven Is For Real “ story. He is the son of a minister.
Yes, Earl Hamner Jr. based the series on his own life and family, as well as being the narrator. He also wrote a couple more “Zone” episodes... I love both shows!
Thanks, and have a great day! God bless you!
No, but all pit bulls go to Hell.
Not surprised at all - have the book. Thanks for the reminder of it.
The chapter is about the Millennial reign, where there will still be some mortals, not the New Jerusalem.
Sorry, that appears to be a distinction without a difference. Once again, Isaiah 60:21 states, “Then all your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor.”
Notice the phrase ‘they will possess the land forever’. It makes no difference whether it’s the Millennial reign or post-Millennial period, the word forever clearly implies extending beyond the coming Millennium, so the righteous humans will continue to reside on planet earth.
As I already said, the chapter mixes two periods, and one needs to read the last chapters of the Revelation, where there is a great amount of specificity and detail that contradicts your theory.
.
No it doesn’t. Forever implies no ending point to where humans will reside. Try again.
Your mistaken imaginations do not scripture make.
The place where humans will reside is the place noted in scripture:
The new Jerusalem.
Your knowledge of scripture is manmade doctrine. If you can prove otherwise, feel free to post scripture. If you cannot, one would assume you’re arguing for the sake of it.
Revelation 21
2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
‘Coming down out of heaven’ to where? Earth
As I already quoted, Isaiah is talking about a new heavens and a new earth in Isaiah 65. IN THE SAME CHAPTER, HE SAYS THE FOLLOWING, “21They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22”They will not build and another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat;
Spiritual beings have no need to build houses or eat from vineyards, therefore we must conclude Christians will reside on earth post-millenium.
All you ever do is throw mud, how about some scholarship?
If you had read the last chapters of Revelation, and second Peter, you would know that the entire universe is to be destroyed with “fervent heat.”
There will be no Earth, there will be new heavens and a new Earth. “Earth” means only a place to live, it is not meaning a planet. The new Jerusalem is described with specific dimensions, as a cube, not a ball.
Remember the old Earth and heavens “departed for there was found no place for them.”
Our new digs will not be material, it will be spiritual, the same for our bodies.
.
How bout some honesty? I’m well aware of Revelations and 1st & 2nd Peter. I’m well aware of the cube nature of New Jerusalem, as I already quoted scripture. Once again, Isaiah is revealing a new heavens and a new earth and a couple of scriptures later, he talks about who will build and inhabit houses and eat fruit. SPIRITUAL BODIES HAVE NO NEED OF EITHER. There is nothing to misinterpret. You are adding fable to scripture.
Isaiah is not speaking of what the elect do, he is talking about the millennial kingdom, where there are still mortals living on Earth.
