New Jerusalem

[Elijah7777]

If you have a `condo` then you would have an earthly body needing - shelter, food, sleep etc. Whereas my new body from heaven does not need those things.

Our mansion is in Heaven. WE need a mansion there for all our friends to enjoy. Even my house here is for people to come and see us. The house was designed for 100 but it is not unusual for us to entertain fifty or sixty people. When I see people with tiny houses, I think they must not have very many friends. Where would they put them? There is no room. At least I hope we have friends in Heaven. No one seems to care much about us here.

Heaven is NOT like earth. Our new glorified bodies can go through realms, like the Lord did. We will not be `entertaining` others. We will be learning from the Lord how to `rule and reign` with Christ over all God`s great kingdom. We will be going here and there in service for Him.

Look at this great universe and when it is made new God will populate it and rule over many `earths.` Remember God said to the earthly people `multiply and fill the earth.` Eventually the earth people will need more room.

God dwells with all His people in His great kingdom from heaven to earth by His Holy Spirit. No one has seen the Father or ever can for He dwells in unapproachable glory. (1 Tim. 6: 16)

Those in heaven see Him as He is the God of the living.
It is clear to me the Father and the Lamb will dwell in that City. Jesus would have been back 1000 years already on earth at the resurrection of us all. The Father Himself comes down with that City at that time. (After the 1000 years)

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, He will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

We are speaking of 1000 years after the resurrection of us all in age to come where God makes a new heaven and earth and comes down to dwell with His people.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

Are you a Mormon?
There is no such Christian teaching of God creating people on many other planets.
Nor that at the resurrection we will gain the ability to go through realms.
What is taught is that our new bodies are not subject to death. (imperishable). Our spirit will be clothed in these new bodies. That does not make our spirit deity.

The `promise` is the Holy Spirit,` not all the details God gave to Abraham. )Gal. 3: 14)

God poured out His Spirit in these last days through Christ Jesus.

How is that a promise to Abraham and all those before Gods Son came into the world?

And you're missing the point. Jesus is the seed of Abraham. Those who have the Spirit of Christ in them are one with Christ and are considered that seed and the promise made was to Abraham AND His seed. Heirs according to that promise.

Perhaps you should post the scripture that states the promise you speak of to support a lineage that excludes those God gave the right to be called the children of God from the promise you speak of. One that is different than to Abraham and His seed. So post your scriptural proof please. We posted ours from the NT written by a true Apostle of the Lord. Who is your teacher?

The `promise` is the Holy Spirit,` not all the details God gave to Abraham. )Gal. 3: 14)

Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Please read these verses again as it states through faith as we receive nothing from God unless we first have faith.

Where in scripture does it say we are married, given in marriage and to populate the New Jerusalem as this would come against that which has already been written as scripture does not contradict itself.

Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Luke 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
