18在千年国里,犹太人是地上的祭司,信徒是天上的祭司。那时圣城新耶路撒冷只包括新旧约得胜的圣徒,不包括主再来时得救的以色列人。在千年国末了,撒但会鼓动反对者(主要是从歌革和玛各来的),攻击犹太人的营,和圣徒的城;但会有火从天降下,烧灭他们。(启二十9。)在千年国后的新天新地里,那些在主耶稣再来时得救的犹太人,要与新耶路撒冷调和。所以,在新天新地里,只有两种人。第一是新耶路撒冷,由信徒与犹太人组成,神的众子作为王室来管治列国,并作祭司事奉神,直到永远。第二是列国,他们是未得重生、只得著恢复的人,他们要在新耶路撒冷城外作神的百姓。(启二一3。)
18In the millennial kingdom the Jews will be priests on the earth, and the believers will be priests in the heavens. At that time, the holy city, New Jerusalem, will comprise only the overcoming Old Testament and New Testament saints, but not the Israelites who will be saved at the Lord’s coming back. At the end of the millennium, Satan will stir up opposers, mainly from Gog and Magog, to attack the camp of the Jews and the city of the saints, but fire will come down out of heaven to devour them (Rev. 20:9). In the new heaven and new earth after the millennium, the Jews who were saved at the coming of the Lord Jesus will be mingled with the New Jerusalem. Therefore, in the new heaven and new earth, there will be only two peoples. First, there will be the New Jerusalem, composed of the believers and the Jews, God’ss ons as the royal family to rule over the nations and as the priests to serve God forever. Second, there will be the nations, who will not be regenerated but only restored and who will live on the earth outside the New Jerusalem to be God’sp eople (Rev. 21:3
