Scriptural proof of a paradise earth? Psalms 72:7; Isaiah 33:24

by Joey Jo-Jo in

a very close person i know is trying to show biblical proof that there are two classes, one in heaven and the other on a paradise earth, i think i have the celestial class 144000 covered.

i was given these two scriptures as proof that there will be everlasting life on earth.. psalms 72:7 - in his days may the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon is no more.. isaiah 33:24 - and no resident will say, "i am sick"; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.. would anyone have any brackground on these two scriptures and what they really apply to?.

I would say the Nation of Israel is still blessed.

Definitely. While they chose to reject Christ initially, Revelation clearly shows that they would have another chance to accept Him after He comes. If one reads Romans 11 they will see that God has NOT rejected the Jews. Read Romans 11:1-7:

1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. 7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened

The OT is important too. The OT is like a darkened room. It's only when you bring the light of the NT to it that you are able to see it clearly. It's a large room with many items. As your understanding of the NT grows, you begin to see the outlines of the objects in the room. This grows until you can see the items clearly.

If you look at the OT from a Jewish or Atheist perspective ONLY, without the light of Christ, you will be confused.

Paul referred to looking at the OT without the understanding of Christ as looking through a glass darkly. (1Cor 13:12)

who has the most power in the borg?

gb or don adams & his crew or borg lawyers.

i say it's the lawyers..

brotherdan

They created several corporate entities and distrubted the assets among them.

One obvious result is that the organization and its assets are less vulnerable to a major lawsuit. If the Governing Body is sued for deaths resulting from its ban on blood transfusions, the Society's factories can not be taken in a settlement, because the factories are owned by a distinct corporation. If the WTB&TS corporation is found criminally liable, the Governing Body members are safe, because they are not Directors of that corporation.

This also has obvious implications regarding their false prophecy of the 1914 generation. Since the Governing Body is no longer connected to the corporate Board of Directors, the Watchtower corporations can be run by a new generation of younger men.It basically buys them more time.

Nope, it MUST be the GB. Remember that even the lawyers are faithful dubs. They believe that they are following the faithful slave too.

That would be a good response to add to the "Reasoning" book! I'd love to hear a JW use that at the door, Sab!

You can also point out that Revelation speaks about the heavenly city of New Jerusalem coming down to earth, and God will live among men.

Notice Rev 21:1-3 - Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

Note, this is after the old heavens and old earth are destroyed. Also remember that this can't be speaking of the "great crowd" for, according to Revelation 19:1, they are already in heaven at this time.
