General Will there always be human beings ?

[LeeB]

Isaiah 9:7 , Luke 1:33 For the increase to have no end and the kingdom to continue into infinity there must be a continuous supply of human beings. In the new heaven and new Earth with the new Jerusalem, Revelation 21:3 , Revelation 21:24-26 . There will always be human beings and they will have the hope of being in the kingdom of God just as we do now. Remember, the people are ruled over by those who are in the kingdom, and their hope is to be in that kingdom. I imagine that the new heavens may perhaps be such that all the planets out there will be made suitable to support human life so that as the kingdom grows continually there would be a place for the people. Just a thought.

You do present a reason to think, brother. I believe that the Kingdom of God has been here on Earth since the resurrection of the Son of God. At that point, the New Covenant was in effect for those who submit to it. It has been growing since then. Since there will be no marrying after the last day, and no death, the growth - as far as scripture is concerned - would apparently stop until God starts a new thing.

This is why fellowship is so important. None of us know everything that has been revealed. Deuteronomy 29:29 , We are all still growing in grace and knowledge. I view the church as the bride of Christ that is currently pregnant with the saints who have yet to be born into the kingdom. Romans 8:22-25 The saints are spiritual embryos waiting to be born into the kingdom as glorified immortal and impeccable spirit beings. Romans 8:19 , Romans 8:17-18 , Romans 8:23 , 1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 , Job 14:14 , Revelation 20:6 , Acts 14:22 , Matthew 25:34 The saints are heirs to a kingdom they inherit , 1 Peter 1:4 , 1 Corinthians 15:50 , Romans 8:17, Colossians 3:24 , Acts 20:32 , 1 Peter 5:4 , Matthew 5:5 , 1 Corinthians 6:10 …. Now we are heirs and have not yet inherited that kingdom, it is a promise, James 2:5 , 2 Peter 1:10-11
