    What do you guys think it will be like to reign with Jesus? This is very intriguing. I can not even imagine co-reigning a small town, much less the WHOLE EARTH during the Millenium.

    I suppose we will all have different "areas", levels of responsibilities in which we reign, some more some less.

    It is difficult enough to imagine being in the presence of our Lord, let alone reigning.
    Ephesians 2:8-9

    8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast.

    Only the worthy ones will reign. The rest of us will be peons, I guess.

    Personally, I wouldn't mind being a peon. As long as I can fall on my face in worship to my Lord and King!!
    1 Thess 4:16-7 (KJV): For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, & with the trump of God: & the dead in Christ shall rise first.Then we which are alive & remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: & so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding you

    Where in scripture is the ressurrected/raptured church divided into 'reigners' and 'non-reigners'?

    We will have varying degrees of responsibility IMHO, but I believe we all reign in some capacity. No?

It's so polar to everything we stand for, and it gets worse from here. No wonder the bible calls the rapture our blessed hope. When you know the truth and know Jesus, there really is nothing to hold onto in this world. It's substandard and unacceptable really. It's just so sinful and self deprecating. I wake up each day thankful that I am one day closer to the blessed event, one day closer to my eternal Sabbath in Christ, one day closer to being off this sinful, about to be judged planet. Praise God that I am bringing a few people with me whom I have shared the gospel with. I am blessed with knowing that my wife is saved, and my family, and even a few of my friends. Christ has abundantly given me my portion in this world: food, clothes, a stable job. But I count it all a loss for Him. I'd trade it any day for the rapture.

    betty
    I refuse to feel guilty for wanting the appearing of our Lord. He told us to watch! So that settles it for me, I'm watching!
