Yes, all those in the Body of Christ are one together. However, that does not do away with God`s purpose for Israel and the nations.

Hi FHG, I agree that the New Jerusalem is described symbolically. One good example is of Jesus` authority (throne) there as a King priest. The gemstones in Rev. 4: are a jasper and sardius which are on the High Priest`s breast plate. In Rev. 21: 19 & 20 we read of the 12 gemstones on the...

So, the scriptures to support that view please?

The `sons of God` are like their father - God. They are NOT sons of the devil. And God is omniscient, (all knowing) and does not let man stop Him from fulfilling his purposes for - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ.

Yes, in eternity there is only one city that is likened to a bride. However, there will still be the nations of the saved on the New Earth, (Rev. 21: 24) and also those who are Kingpriests with Christ on His own throne in the third heaven. (Rev.3: 21)

I agree that Jesus` sacrifice made the way for people to be saved. However, not all people have the full revelation of Jesus sacrifice but it covers all who turn to God. So why did God make a New Heavens and New Earth if there is only one group in eternity?

I think all that is to do with the Body of Christ. If you disregard the Nations and Israel as separate groups, then it seems you think God made them for no eternal purpose. It seems to me if all God wanted was one group He would have made that much earlier on.

Hi CYN, Good detail there and explanations. Now all that is in time, so what do you think is God`s purpose for each group in the New Heavens and New Earth?

Hi onlysaved, Yes, for God`s glory. And He has told us in His word what He has purposed and that is important if He wants us to know. Otherwise, the Bible could have been just - John 3: 16. May the Lord lead you (& us) in discerning His Word.

Hi Ff, Yes, to glorify God forever.....standing still or.........?

Hi Bruce, I agree God is surely showing His great mercy, and with that He has a purpose for each group in the New Heavens and New Earth.

Thank you HIH, Now to whom did Jesus say the road was narrow etc? Yes, to Israel. There was no Body of Christ at that time. And the same with `the meek shall inherit the earth.` That was to Israel. When Jesus ascended and the Holy Spirit was sent to build and mature the Body of Christ the...

I agree with you FHG about the angelic army however we differ in that I believe we, the Body of Christ have gone to glory prior to the tribulation.

Yes.

Good night bro. Now all of God`s word has to do with the topic not just Rev. 19.. So, we look at who the heavenly army is in God`s word. Also, we look at who is the `wife.` It seems that is the basis of that view. So, can you prove who the `wife` is?

Thank you for your reply. I see what you are thinking. Now as I said angels also are clothed in bright linen. Thus, we need MORE scriptures to show which. And that army is about to fight the `beast` and his army. (Rev. 19: 19) Now remember God told us that we do NOT fight flesh and blood. (2...

So, what do you think (from God`s word if you can) was God`s purpose in making - 1. The Nations. 2. Israel. 3. The Body of Christ. If you can only comment on one group, then that is fine.

Ha, ha. You are wrong bro. I see someone the Lord is changing day by day. Praise Him. Now, why are you having trouble supporting that view with scripture?

Hi hawkman, Mmmmm what would you think if someone said they would agree with the commentaries and not God`s word? May I suggest you look into that view and see if there are any scriptures to support it. We need to remember that commentaries are written by fallible man whereas God`s word is true.

So, let`s look at these scriptures for more clarification. `He does according to His will in the army in heaven,...` (Dan. 4: 35) `And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. ` (Rev. 12: 7) Hosts - Heb. `tsabaah,` a...
