Answer 2

John 5:28 & 29 explains that there will be a resurrection. This takes place after Armageddon.

God's orignal purpose was for people to live forever. So, he sent Jesus to die for us to give us the opportunity for that to happen again. But, first the wickedness has to be done away with. Read Psalms 37: 10, 11 & 29

Answer 3

There is no such thing as eternal life on earth because the earth is passing away. There will be a new heaven and a new earth, but we will not be bound to the earth as we are now.

Answer 4

Jesus says that He gives eternal life to those who believe in Him. What does this mean?

Before Adam and Eve sinned God told them that they would die when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Did they fall over dead as soon as they ate? No! In fact Adam lived almost a thousand years.
But did something die when they sinned? Yes, their relationship to God died. Before they sinned they had a love and friendship relationship with God. After their disobedience this relationship was severed and this is called "spiritual death."
Part of the consequences of their sin was also that they died physically, but not right away.

When Jesus came to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind, He opened the door for man to have a relationship with God again. This is not automatic, each individual person must receive this gift from God personally. But to those who receive His gift of forgiveness for their sins then also enter into a relationship with God again that will last forever. This is what is meant by eternal life. Eternal life is a spiritual term, not a physical term.

Eternal life starts as soon as you become a child of God and it will never end, even though your body dies.

Answer 5

Revelations says this earth will be destroyed, But God will remake it.
Jesus died on the cross, but he did not stay dead, He rose from the dead and will return to Judge both the living and the dead. We too, if we believe and repent ( which only comes natural once you do believe) will come out of the grave, given new bodies and live as we were designed to live. forever. However even those that go to Hell will exist forever, but in pain and suffering.

Answer 6

It doesn't say that. The Bible says that the earth, the stars, and the entire universe will be destroyed at the end of time.

Answer 7

yea the Christians will resign for 1000 years on the earth and I put a link to explain this.

Answer 8

Revelation speaks of the 1000 year reign of Christ on the earth....the milennial reign, if you will.

We will come back to live with Him here for a time....until the new heaven comes down from above.

Answer 9

Olam Ha-Ba: The World to Come
The spiritual afterlife is referred to in Hebrew as Olam Ha-Ba (oh-LAHM hah-BAH), the World to Come, although this term is also used to refer to the messianic age. The Olam Ha-Ba is another, higher state of being.

In the Mishnah, one rabbi says, "This world is like a lobby before the Olam Ha-Ba. Prepare yourself in the lobby so that you may enter the banquet hall." Similarly, the Talmud says, "This world is like the eve of Shabbat, and the Olam Ha-Ba is like Shabbat. He who prepares on the eve of Shabbat will have food to eat on Shabbat." We prepare ourselves for the Olam Ha-Ba through Torah study and good deeds.

The Talmud states that all Israel has a share in the Olam Ha-Ba. However, not all "shares" are equal. A particularly righteous person will have a greater share in the Olam Ha-Ba than the average person. In addition, a person can lose his share through wicked actions. There are many statements in the Talmud that a particular mitzvah will guarantee a person a place in the Olam Ha-Ba, or that a particular sin will lose a person's share in the Olam Ha-Ba, but these are generally regarded as hyperbole, excessive expressions of approval or disapproval.

Some people look at these teachings and deduce that Jews try to "earn our way into Heaven" by performing the mitzvot. This is a gross mischaracterization of our religion. It is important to remember that unlike some religions, Judaism is not focused on the question of how to get into heaven. Judaism is focused on life and how to live it. Non-Jews frequently ask me, "do you really think you're going to go to Hell if you don't do such-and-such?" It always catches me a bit off balance, because the question of where I am going after death simply doesn't enter into the equation when I think about the mitzvot. We perform the mitzvot because it is our privilege and our sacred obligation to do so. We perform them out of a sense of love and duty, not out of a desire to get something in return. In fact, one of the first bits of ethical advice in Pirkei Avot (a book of the Mishnah) is: "Be not like servants who serve their master for the sake of receiving a reward; instead, be like servants who serve their master not for the sake of receiving a reward, and let the awe of Heaven [meaning G-d, not the afterlife] be upon you."

Nevertheless, we definitely believe that your place in the Olam Ha-Ba is determined by a merit system based on your actions, not by who you are or what religion you profess. In addition, we definitely believe that humanity is capable of being considered righteous in G-d's eyes, or at least good enough to merit paradise after a suitable period of purification.

Do non-Jews have a place in Olam Ha-Ba? Although there are a few statements to the contrary in the Talmud, the predominant view of Judaism is that the righteous of all nations have a share in the Olam Ha-Ba. Statements to the contrary were not based on the notion that membership in Judaism was required to get into Olam Ha-Ba, but were grounded in the observation that non-Jews were not righteous people. If you consider the behavior of the surrounding peoples at the time that the Talmud was written, you can understand the rabbis' attitudes. By the time of Rambam, the belief was firmly entrenched that the righteous of all nations have a share in the Olam Ha-Ba.
