What do you mean, Dr. Graham, by "people in their non glorified bodies"?Hi CoreyD, yes I agree the Millennium 1,000 years is in the future and yes , the people in their non glorified bodies are on the earth.
You don't believe Matthew 25:31 refers to the coming of Christ?Even with satan bound many will still rebel against Christ at the end of the 1,000 years when satan is released for a while ( Rev 20:7). I believe the separation of sheep and goats (Matt 25:31) may be at this point.
Does that not happen before Christ' 1,000 year reign?
Isn't the way we treat our fellow brothers an indication of whether we are obeying Jesus' command, or not, which is a requirement for accepted Jesus as Lord and savior. John 13:34, 35; John 15:12; 1 john 3:14Entrance to the Millennium cannot be on how we treat our fellow brothers but on whether we have accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour. The unwise virgins who were not spirit filled (no oil in their vessels) found the door closed , they must have been immature Christians but if they truly started the journey of faith maybe Romans 8:28-29 will apply and God will complete the work .
How can we claim to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, if we are not obeying Christ's commands? John 14:15
Jesus did say though, that entrance into the millennium does depend on how we treat his brothers. Not our fellow brothers. There is a difference, isn't there?
Matthew 25
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
I thought the decision was based on whom God selected, by anointing them with holy spirit.The decision of who receives a glorified body to rule with Christ in the Millennium, is whether we are mature, led by the Holy Spirit and if we have died to ourselves and the flesh , on the journey of sanctification and are hidden in Christ, before His return.
Aren't these the ones that are born by spirit, and isn't it God who seals them by holy spirit? Romans 8:23; 2 Corinthians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Ephesians 1:13, 14; Revelation 7:4
Isn't it?
