“This is a description of what John was shown in Heaven which will be in existence during the Tribulation. The verse then goes on to say that the Church will serve with Christ during his Millennial Kingdom on earth. We also know from Luke 1:32-33 that His 1000 year kingdom will be a literal, earthly kingdom, where Christ's throne will be in Jerusalem, and we know from Matthew 19:28 that the twelve Jewish apostles will rule the twelve tribes of Israel during the Millennial Kingdom.

All of this will take place in Jerusalem, which is in the Middle East.”

Believing Christ's Kingdom of the Heavens to be an earthly kingdom was the mistake many made even amongst believers.

But the rulers, the king/priests were to rule from heaven, it was after all a Heavenly Kingdom Christ preached not a restoration of an earthly line of kings.

That being the case then the prophecies must be understood in that context.

So you're denying the Scripture you were given that tells us that there will be a literal, physical 1000 year kingdom on this earth which Christ will be the ruler of and where He will rule from His throne in Jerusalem?

When God says:

“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You, ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” (Psalm 2:4-9)

Are you, at this time, denying those Scriptures? Are you, at this time, stating that God is lying, that there will be no literal, physical kingdom of Jesus Christ?
