Those who will Live and Reign WITH Christ during the Millennium

Those who will LIVE and REIGN with Christ during the Millennium, (Re.20:4 below) are the body of Christ throughout all ages (the bride of Christ). The entire body of Christ will be in heaven at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).

The rest of the dead do not live again until AFTER the thousand years are FINISHED (Re.20:5 below). They are those whom the saints of the most High will judge throughout the Millennium (Re.20:4, Dan.7:22, 1 Cor.6:2-3 below).

Those who take part in the first resurrection AFTER the thousand years (the Millennium) will be priests of God AND of Christ, and they will reign (not live and reign – Re.20:4 below) with Him a thousand years (Re.20:6 below), after the Millennium, in the “new” earth.


Re.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM (Dan.7:22, 1 Cor.6:2-3 above): and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived AND reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Re.20:5 But THE REST OF THE DEAD LIVED NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED. This is the first resurrection (Re.20:6 below).

Re.20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection (Re.20:5 above): on such the second death (Re.20:14) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God AND of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Dan.7:22 Until the Ancient of days (Dan.7:13) came, and JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN TO THE SAINTS of the most High (1 Cor.6:2-3 below, Re.15:3); and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan.7:18).

1 Cor.6:2 Do ye not know that THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD (Dan.7:22 above)? and if the world shall be judged by YOU, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1 Cor.6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
