    I have tried in diffrent chat rooms to get an answer for this questio PLEASE this is a serious question..

    In the Book " The greatest man who ever lived" page 2 It says...

    This one will be great and will be called the son of the Most high:...and he will rule as King over the house of jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom...

    yet it states in " what does God require of us" page 13 paragraph 7.

    it says that jesus will rule for 1000 years as the world become paradise, then he will hand the Kingdom back to his father...

    what is the diffrence between the house of Jacob( which jesus will rule forever) and the new earthly paridise( which Jesus will rule for 1000 years, then return to His Father)???

    thank you

    I suppose you want the JW explanation. They say yes Jesus rules forever but with a twist to make Luke 1:33 agree with 1 Corinthians 15:24. I am not endorsing this just providing the JW viewpoint.

    p. 20 What God’s Kingdom Will Do

    When Christ hands over the Kingdom to God, how are the scriptures to be understood that speak of it as lasting forever? The Kingdom’s accomplishments will endure forever. Christ will be honored forever because of his role in working for the vindication of God’s sovereignty. But since sin and death are then completely removed, and mankind has been redeemed, this ends the need for him as a Redeemer. The Millennial Rule of the Kingdom will also have been fully accomplished; so there will no longer be a need for a subsidiary government to remain between Jehovah and obedient mankind. Thus, "God may be all things to everyone."—1 Corinthians 15:28.

    What future role will Christ and his joint rulers have after the Millennial Reign is completed? The Bible does not say. Yet, we can be certain that Jehovah will give them many further privileges of service throughout his creation.

    he will rule as King over the house of jacob forever

    I read this as in reference to his place in the heavens with those chosen to be kings with him and not having anything to do with the kingdom on earth.

    Who knows what will be done with the kingdom on earth after it is handed back.

    and there will be no end to his Kingdom

    It sounds like it could mean a lot of things. Jesus is also referred to as “The King of Kings” I grew up with the definition of that being connected to the Kings of the earth. But I think it may be referring to the Kings of the Heavens/The House of Jacob
