There are two events noticeably absent from the passage: 1) There is no mention of a reign on earth of any kind. 2) There is no time limit placed on Christ's reign: it only states that those who are resurrected reign with Christ for "1000 years."

True but the use of the terms "living" and "1000 years" is interesting. Heaven transcends space and time. Angels exist in heaven but there is not a notion in scripture of angels living for a period of time and then dying. So the use of "living" and "1000 years" seems to imply this occurred on Earth.

Jesus said:

"I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." (John 6:51 KJV)

Do they live forever on earth, heaven, …, where?

Philip
