Let's Ask Phil

Marriage in the Millenium?

The first part of your question - about your relationship with your husband and your descendants - I've dealt with under the earlier topic "What would Heaven be like?"

At the end of the thousand years, satan is finally defeated. Then the whole human race gathers at the "Great White Throne" of God to hear his judgment.

We, as people who have chosen him as our Lord, will not be judged as such, because we have all accepted Jesus as our substitute, swopping our sin (put on Him by us), for his righteousness (put on us by him).

All those who have chosen to live without God will then receive their choice. Not a pleasant concept for us to consider, which should spur us on to share Jesus more with others.

So the only ones left in God's presence will be God's resurrected people - all in immortal resurrection bodies, which is the situation Adam would have been in if he had eaten of the Tree of Life instead of the other tree.

About our resurrection bodies, as I said in the earlier topic, Jesus said "they will neither marry or be given in marriage". So no children. The people of God will be complete and everlasting.
