YOU SAID: The plan for the Church is different than for the
world. Heaven is promised to the Church. But as many people as
possible will also inherit the New Earth. That is why there must be
a New Heaven and a New Earth, to provide place for both heavenly and
earthly peoples. Heaven is more awesome than earth. But the only
ones that want heaven are those called to it by the Spiritual new
birth. All the others (with only their human birth to guide them)
always prefer earth. Both inheritances will be made perfect and will
be satisfying to everyone.
REPLY: I have to disagree that as many people as possible will also
inherit the New Earth........because scriptures makes it clear that
only the righteous or meek will inherit the new earth......."For
evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for
the Lord [in the end] shall inherit the earth. For yet a little
while, and the evildoers will be no more; though you look with care
where they used to be, THEY WILL NOT BE FOUND. But the meek [in the
end] shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of peace. Ps. 37:9-11(AMP)........As clearly evidenced in
the above verses.......it is the meek who gets to inherit the New
Earth......the unbelievers or evildoers still alive during the
tribulation will be destroyed at christ's second coming because they
will be deceived by the devil and his false prophet to fight along
with them at the battle of armageddon.......it is so stated in the
following way........"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the
beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the
SPIRIRS OF DEVILS, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings
of the earth AND OF THE WHOLE WORLD, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty." Rev. 16:13-14..........The devil
will deceive them because they hated truth and therefore they will
all be damned for receiving the mark of the beast and for fighting
with/for the devil........it is so stated in the following way.......
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO LOVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had
pleasure in UNrighteousness." 2Thess. 2:9-12.......Therefore, it is
clear according to the above verse that the unbelievers will be
damned at Christ's second coming because they will rather choose to
accept the mark of the beast and ride the devil........Thus we have
all the tribulation saints martyred.......and all the evildoers
destroyed at Christ's second coming........So the only folks that
will be left on the earth are the Righteous and Purified remnant of
Israel......that is why TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION......NOT the
millenium....
