Will believers in resurrected bodies interact with people still in flesh and blood during the millennium?
Yes, there will be a certain amount of interfacing between believers in resurrected bodies and millennial citizens still in flesh and blood. The teaching affirms that interaction occurs, while not elaborating the specifics. It also distinguishes church-age believers ruling the heavenlies from Israel on earth.
Les explains that church-age believers, the Body of Christ, will rule the heavenlies, while Israel will have the earth. He says there will also be a certain amount of interfacing between those in resurrected bodies and millennial citizens who will be in flesh and blood. He then stresses that believers should work for areas of reward, not for salvation, which is a gift. He cites Romans 6:23, contrasting the wages of sin—spiritual death—with God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
