Will Procreation Continue Throughout Eternity?

[B-A-C]

That would leave only believers who survived the great tribulation.

Maybe, but then how do you explain...

Rev 20:7; When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,
Rev 20:8; and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
Rev 20:9; And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

Maybe these could be the children of those who came out of great tribulation. 1000 years you grow a pretty large group of people.

I believe

So when the angels reproduced with women, we ended up with hybrid angel-human spirits

That line is not the result of the Ruah's instruction because no member of the Trinity disagrees with either another member nor with themselves and my Spiritual Understanding is not anywhere near this.
Genesis 6:2
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

The Jewish interpreters, who well understood the uses of their own language, are right in the main point that the phrase “sons of the Elohim” conveys no idea of moral goodness or piety. Elohim constantly means mighty ones (Exodus 15:11, marg.). (Comp. Exodus 12:12, marg., Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:8-9, where it is translated judges; Exodus 22:28, 1Samuel 2:25, where also it is translated judge.) In Job 1:6 the “sons of Elohim” are the nobles, the idea being that of a king who at his durbar gathers his princes round him; and, not unnecessarily to multiply examples, the “sons of the Elim,” the other form of the plural, is rightly translated mighty ones in Psalm 29:1.

Genesis 6:2

Yes as i understand what you are saying, is the mainstream, no giants nor nephilim nor demons ever existed interpretation.

So, you have to ask yourself, if giants existed, who created them and why?

And what are demons and who created them?
What are the nephilim? Because it seems pretty clear they are not the same as the fallen angels.

I tend to believe michael heiser had a lot to contribute on these matters but i have wondered for along time if he was hindered from declaring the full extent of the text.

That's pretty much the order of things, Bill. I see it the same way.

There's much more detail to it though.

For example with the heavens and the earth passing away, The scholars say the "passing away" never refers to destruction or annihilation.

They say it's a refurbishing of the surface, changing from one condition to another, not a complete annihilation. Kind of like a face lift.

The purpose is to remove all traces of sin from the entire earth.

Of course there are some who say just the opposite, but from what I've read they are by far the minority.

You know how it goes, every line of Scripture has different interpretations.

Yes, I try never to form opinions on the application of any passage and just to consume the recorded Word. I am many times thought to be ignorant or/and a fool because I confess my surrender to the Ruah and His delivering the meaning and application of every portion of the scripture. When I use Commentaries to express my light on a portion it often takes me a while to find the commentators that express what I have been impressed with. I have many thoughts on the look and the feel of the New Earth but I hold them back because I'm not sure they are not my dreams. But I see each of us having our own rooms in the King's Palace instead of a mansion of our own and have been instructed by a Rabbi that my vision is closer to the original text than the mansion idea.

There's nothing wrong with that look, Brother. We all have our own convictions.

I'm 68 now and the only thing that gets me excited anymore is thinking and talking about being with the Lord.

There's an old song that expresses my feelings on that. "Leaving on my mind."

Roger that, I wait for Him to call, there is nothing more that matters.

yes, and they won't experience the temptations of satan, but they will still have the sin nature from adam, and their lifetimes will be long, but not 1000 years long.

they will however, have the guidance of those who were resurrected... those who were killed for their testimony of Christ. those men and women will not die again, and will be raptured off the earth after the 1000 years.

so imagine living, in denial of God.. having people around you who are 800 years old, reminding you to be born again...

and so God has to deal with these people.. and he does so by letting satan loose for a short time, to gather up the wicked.

 

[Mark S]

I'm not saying this is the way it will be, I'm saying there is a possibility of it.

I see that possibility in this passage:

Isaiah 59:20-21 KJV
20) And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
21) As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Much love!
