The earlier promise of the New Covenant (that Israel would inherit a physical kingdom of God to last for a Millennium) is still valid for those who want it. King David and the 12 apostles will have as their reward governance over Israel in their new resurrected bodies — called “terrestrial bodies” in 1 Corinthians 15:40 — for that 1000 year period. We of “the Mystery,” however, have been awarded something more glorious. Our reward is to have “celestial bodies” (1 Corinthians 15:40–41) with which we will govern all regions of the universe in the 1000 years (except the earth). Most Protestants today, however, are striving for a New Covenant relationship with God. They are oblivious to what “the Mystery” is all about. The main reason is that they are reading their New Testaments in the order of the books that Jerome in the 5th century erroneously saddled on the world. This topsy-turvy arrangement of the biblical books has caused great confusion in understanding the progressive teachings of the Bible. Because of this, most find it difficult to comprehend even the simplest of biblical truths. Christians are so deceived over this matter that the majority of Protestants want to be called “New Covenant Christians” and their denominations called “New Covenant Churches.” This is fine if that is what they want, but they are aiming for a lesser inheritance than what the final revelation of God, “the Mystery,” affords to all people who aim for a position next to the Father Himself. ” We now make up the divine family of God as God’s own redeemed children sitting on His right hand in Christ (John 10:34; 1 John 3:2). We are accorded that right even now. .this is a bit deep please feel free to comment ...never had time to study it out totally
