I believe nobody on earth lives on into the millennium. All the wicked die in plagues, armageddon and at Jesus's coming. As nobody repents. All the good are killed and taken to heaven. The millennium will be for the children and mentally handicapped who have not yet had an opportunity to be fairly tested / tempted by the devil. We derive this from grasping God is impartial and good.
Rev 9:20-21 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. If you read revelations you will see that plagues get worse and most verses end with ''they repented not''. It speaks to God trying all He can to get them to repent. God will now start a society out of the '''worst of the worst'' sinners? I think not.
The whole of Micah 4 speaks to what transpires on earth during the millennium. There is no reference to God being a tyrant. There is no reference in all of scripture to God ruling like a tyrant. He just enforces His ways / His law. Much like today as we live by mostly moral judicial laws that have their roots in Christianity. A proper read of Micah, reveals a lot of truth about how good God is. It is a chapter that reveals a lot of truth to what we can one-day expect in heaven. I pay close attention to the verses that speak to mankind rebelling and how God deals with them harshly only when they are in severe rebellion.
We need to pay close attention to what is being said. Try imagine being there in that day and age as you read.
"I believe nobody on earth lives on into the millennium", is false statement, because I just proved through scripture that there is indeed a remnant that survives the destruction of the second coming of the Messiah, can you not read? "Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left" and "
I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.
I will make the lame my remnant". I will also include these other scriptures, because it seems the previous scriptures were not sufficient enough to open your eyes to the truth, you stubborn person,
I will make people more rare than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir.
Isaiah 13:12
Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
Isaiah 65:20
Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, Yehovah of armies, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yehovah of armies, there will be no rain on them.
And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; which shall be the plague with which Yehovah afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:16-18
For Yehovah will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob. And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the land of Yehovah as male and female servants. They will take captive those who were their captors, and rule over those who oppressed them.
Isaiah 14:1-2
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And I did not turn back until they were consumed.I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; They fell under my feet. For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me. They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to Yehovah, but He did not answer them. Then I beat them fine as the dust before the airflow; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets. You have delivered me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me. As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners submit to me. Foreigners fade away, And come trembling out of their fortresses. Yehovah lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.
Psalm 18:37-47
For
the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yehovah as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:14
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my set-apart mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yehovah as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:9
To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ –just as I have received authority from my Father.
Revelation 2:26-27
The airflow of the Master Yehovah is upon me, for Yehovah has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Yehovah’s favor has come,and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. 3
To all who mourn in Israel,he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that Yehovah has planted for his own glory. They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago. They will revive them, though they have been deserted for many generations. Foreigners will be your servants. They will feed your flocks and plow your fields and tend your vineyards. You will be called priests of Yehovah, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and aeonial joy will be yours.
Isaiah 61:1-7
And it is that remnant the people of God and the Messiah will rule over. And those people will become mighty nations, and will multiply exceedingly, and then, at the end of the thousand year rulership of the Messiah, will be deceived, and come against the Messiah and the people of God,
and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth–Gog and Magog–and to gather them for battle.
In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Revelation 20:8
You err in your understanding of prophecy. You are ignorant, dumb, stubborn, stiff necked, and devoid of truth. Stop being stubborn, and perhaps then you will begin to attain true wisdom, rather than the nonsense you keep regurgitating, which is not the truth. I am tired of arguing with you people, and I have been doing so for several years now on these internet forums, only to find believers who resist the truth all day. Whether one thing or the other. They only want to continue in their own ways, and not the ways defined by the word of God. They are despicable, and lawless. I only chose to remain in this specific forum because one of your moderators reached out to me with kind words, otherwise I would already be gone and not wasting my time with people such as yourself. I already removed myself from other forums because I am weary of you people. I am busy and have better things to do with my time than argue with people who refuse to be fed good food whether with my right hand or my left, you are like insolent children screaming and refusing to be fed food that will nourish you with truth and understanding.
after the commandments and doctrines of men?
