Where will believers be when Christ returns to set up His kingdom?
At the return of Christ to establish His earthly kingdom, believers will be on earth with Him. They will come back with Him, bodily present, not in physical bodies of reproduction or male and female, and will interface with people living, raising children, and the animal kingdom.
Les explains that the territory promised to Abraham and the tribes will not be fulfilled until Christ sets up the kingdom, which will then be the homeland of Israel. The twelve apostles will sit under Christ’s throne in Jerusalem, ruling the twelve tribes. Since the kingdom is not now on earth but in heaven, Paul speaks of believers’ citizenship as being in heaven; at salvation they were translated from darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son in heaven. But when Christ returns to the earth with His kingdom, believers will be with Him and come back with Him. They will not be in physical bodies of reproduction or male and female; Jesus said they will be as the angels, yet they will be bodily present and will interface with people living, raising children, the animal kingdom, and all that. The early apostles were adherents of this earthly kingdom, and Paul, John, and the writer of Revelation taught it.
