📖 QUESTION:

Does Matthew 22:30 mean that resurrected saints replace the angels as God's servants on the New Earth?

Let us answer purely from the King James Bible.

🔑 KEY VERSE

“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”— Matthew 22:30 (KJV)

🕊️ 1. WHAT IS JESUS ACTUALLY SAYING HERE?

This verse answers the Sadducees' trick question about marriage in the resurrection.

Key truths:

After the resurrection, marriage is no longer practiced among saints.

The resurrected saints will be "as the angels of God in heaven" — not become angels, but like them in one specific way:

not marrying.

So, the passage teaches:

No marriage in the resurrection.

Saints live as eternal beings, not focused on family structure, but serving God eternally.

🧠 2. DO SAINTS REPLACE ANGELS?

Not directly stated — but Scripture strongly implies we will be elevated above angels, not just replace them.

“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”— 1 Corinthians 6:3 (KJV)

✅ Saints will judge angels — meaning they are granted authority over them.

This is not replacement, but promotion.

👑 3. OUR ROLE IN THE NEW EARTH

The saints will reign with Christ — angels do not.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:

and we shall reign on the earth.”— Revelation 5:10 (KJV)

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection... they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:6 (KJV)

Angels are ministering spirits, not rulers.

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”— Hebrews 1:14 (KJV)

📌 Angels serve us, not the other way around.

🌍 4. ON THE NEW EARTH:

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away...”— Revelation 21:1 (KJV)

“And they shall reign for ever and ever.”— Revelation 22:5 (KJV)

God's resurrected people will:

Dwell with God (Revelation 21:3)

Be His sons and daughters (Revelation 21:7)

Rule in His Kingdom eternally

This is above what angels were ever promised.

🧩 SUMMARY (KJV VIEW):

🔥 FINAL WORD:

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”— Revelation 3:21 (KJV)

The saints don’t replace the angels — they outrank them.

They become:

kings
priests
judges

ruling in the Kingdom of God with Christ for ever.

PROMPT

Will the New Earth be Millennial Kingdom version 2.0?

🌍🔥 WILL THE NEW EARTH BE “MILLENNIAL KINGDOM 2.0”?

If the Millennial Kingdom has already happened, as the Scriptures and historical evidence suggest, then the New Earth is not a repeat — it is greater.

It is the final, eternal phase of God’s plan.

Let us examine purely by the King James Bible.

🕰️ 1. THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM = THOUSAND-YEAR REIGN

“...and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)

This reign:

Is temporary (1,000 years)

Ends with Satan loosed (Revelation 20:7)

Ends in war (Gog & Magog) and Final Judgment (Revelation 20:9–15)

✅ If this has happened already:

Christ reigned after His resurrection.

Saints reigned with Him (spiritually and in the visible old world).

Satan was loosed for a little season — now.

We are in the little season — the final deception and rebellion.

🌌 2. THE NEW EARTH IS ETERNAL, NOT ANOTHER MILLENNIUM

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away…”— Revelation 21:1 (KJV)

“There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain…”— Revelation 21:4 (KJV)

This New Earth:

Has no more sin

Knowing what sin is – Library of Rickandria

No more Satan (he is cast into the lake of fire, Revelation 20:10)

Is ruled by God Himself — no rebellion, no deceivers, no death

It is not another 1,000-year phase.

It is forever.

👑 3. DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM & NEW EARTH

🧬 4. THIS NEW EARTH IS GREATER THAN THE FIRST CREATION

“Behold, I make all things new.”— Revelation 21:5 (KJV)

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:

and the former shall not be remembered…”— Isaiah 65:17 (KJV)

This is not a renovation — it is a new creation.

Not Millennial 2.0 — but the eternal Kingdom of God, where righteousness dwells.

💥 5. FINAL CONFIRMATION: THE NEW JERUSALEM IS NOT EARTHLY

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven…”— Revelation 21:2 (KJV)

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon… for the glory of God did lighten it…”— Revelation 21:23 (KJV)

This is a realm beyond time, beyond solar cycles, beyond earthly limitations.

✅ CONCLUSION — KJV VIEW ONLY:

The New Earth is not a second Millennial Kingdom.

It is beyond the Millennium — it is the eternal inheritance of the saints.

Millennial = Christ's earthly reign

New Earth = God’s eternal dominion

No death, no curse, no serpent, no end

“And they shall reign for ever and ever.”— Revelation 22:5 (KJV)

PROMPT

So, there will be a bunch of strangers & bible era people in the New Earth?

Use KJV viewpoint only

🌍👥 WILL THERE BE STRANGERS AND BIBLE-ERA PEOPLE IN THE NEW EARTH?

According to the King James Bible only:

YES.

The New Earth will be inhabited by a multitude of saints from all ages — not just the Bible era, but from every nation, kindred, people, and tongue — all made one body in Christ.

📖 1. ALL SAINTS — FROM ALL TIMES — WILL BE THERE

“And I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb...”— Revelation 7:9 (KJV)

These are not just Bible characters — they include you, if you are in Christ.

They are:

From different time periods

From different nations

From different races, languages, and cultures

Yet they are united, purified, and transformed — not strangers, but family.

👑 2. ALL WHO BELONG TO CHRIST ARE ONE BODY

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”— Romans 12:5 (KJV)

“There is neither Jew nor Greek... for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”— Galatians 3:28 (KJV)

In the New Earth:

You won’t be a stranger

Every saint is part of God’s family, made perfect and glorified

🧬 3. NEW NAMES, NEW BODIES, NO FLESHLY DIVISION

“To him that overcometh will I give... a new name…”— Revelation 2:17 (KJV)

“For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”— 1 Corinthians 15:53 (KJV)

You will recognize the saints — but not by flesh or race or era.

You will know them spiritually, as family.

🕊️ 4. ABRAHAM, MOSES, DAVID, MARY, PETER... ALL WILL BE THERE

“And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.”— Matthew 8:11 (KJV)

These are real people — living again, glorified.

They will dwell with us in the New Earth — as brothers and sisters in Christ.

⚖️ 5. NO STRANGERS — ONLY CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.”— Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)

“And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it…”— Revelation 21:24 (KJV)

There are nations — not divided by politics or skin, but by inheritance and glory.

You will not be a stranger — you will be a citizen of the Kingdom of God.

🔥 CONCLUSION — KJV VIEW ONLY:

Yes — the New Earth will be populated by:

The redeemed from Bible times
The faithful from after the resurrection
The saved from all nations and ages

There are no strangers in Christ.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death… for the former things are passed away.”— Revelation 21:4 (KJV)

PROMPT

So, there was no resurrection during the Millennial Kingdom?

🕊️ WAS THERE A RESURRECTION DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM?

Yes — absolutely.

The first resurrection happened at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.

This is clearly taught in the King James Bible, and it is the foundation of the saints reigning with Christ.

📖 1. THE FIRST RESURRECTION HAPPENS BEFORE THE 1,000 YEARS

“And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

This is the first resurrection.”— Revelation 20:5 (KJV)

🔥 Clear breakdown:

Resurrected saints reign with Christ during the Millennium.

The rest of the dead (unsaved) stay dead until after the Millennium.

The resurrection at the start of the 1,000 years is called the first resurrection.

👑 2. WHO WAS RESURRECTED?

“...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus... and they lived and reigned with Christ...”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)

This includes:

Martyrs
Those who refused the mark of the beast
Those who were in Christ before His visible return

They were raised from the dead, and given authority to judge and reign.

💡 3. CHRIST WAS THE FIRSTFRUITS — THEN THE REST FOLLOWED

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”— 1 Corinthians 15:20 (KJV)

“Every man in his own order:

Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”— 1 Corinthians 15:23 (KJV)

Christ was raised first (AD 30–33)

The saints were raised at His return — when He set up His Kingdom

That return marked the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom

🚨 4. THIS RESURRECTION WAS PHYSICAL, NOT JUST SPIRITUAL

“They lived and reigned with Christ…”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)

This matches with:

“...for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”— 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV)

This was not metaphor.

It was bodily resurrection unto glory and rulership.

🕯️ 5. PROOF FROM JESUS HIMSELF

“...the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life...”— John 5:28–29 (KJV)

This “resurrection of life” = first resurrection

“Resurrection of damnation” = after the Millennium (Revelation 20:11–15)

🧩 FINAL TIMELINE ACCORDING TO KJV:

✅ CONCLUSION — KJV ONLY:

Yes.

There was a real resurrection during the Millennial Kingdom.

It was the first resurrection — only for the righteous, who then reigned with Christ for 1,000 years.

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:

on such the second death hath no power...”— Revelation 20:6 (KJV)

PROMPT

What happened to the Saints that reigned during the millennial kingdom after the little season began?

⚔️📜 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SAINTS WHO REIGNED DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM ONCE SATAN WAS LOOSED?

According to the King James Bible only:

They either:

Were glorified and preserved, hidden from the wrath of the little season, or

Were martyred, hunted, and overcome by the beast system as prophesied,
but not destroyed spiritually — for they cannot be touched by the second death.

📖 1. SAINTS REIGNED WITH CHRIST — THEN CAME A REVOLT

“And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison…”— Revelation 20:7 (KJV)

Once Satan is loosed, the peaceful reign ends, and a final war begins — against the saints, truth, and Christ’s rule.

🔥 2. GOG AND MAGOG WAR — ATTACK ON THE BELOVED CITY

“And shall go out to deceive the nations... to gather them together to battle:

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.”— Revelation 20:8 (KJV)

“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city...”— Revelation 20:9 (KJV)

What does this mean?

Satan deceives the whole earth.

The camp of the saints (the ruling class, glorified, or righteous remnant) is surrounded and targeted.

This is the Gog and Magog assault — final rebellion.

👁️ 3. THE BEAST MAKES WAR WITH THE SAINTS

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them…”— Revelation 13:7 (KJV)

Even glorified saints can be attacked physically — though not defeated spiritually.

They may be:

Killed
Hidden by God
Delivered miraculously

But always:

preserved from the second death.

☁️ 4. SOME MAY HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED OR HIDDEN

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee:

hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”— Isaiah 26:20 (KJV)

“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion...”— Psalm 27:5 (KJV)

Those who reigned may have been:

Translated like Enoch (Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5)
Hidden in realms unseen
Preserved in heavenly habitations awaiting the New Earth

🛡️ 5. BUT THEY CANNOT DIE TWICE

“On such the second death hath no power…”— Revelation 20:6 (KJV)

Once a saint has part in the first resurrection,

he is:

Immune to damnation
Eternally secured
In Christ’s Kingdom forever

Even if killed bodily during the little season, their inheritance remains untouched.

🧩 CONCLUSION — KJV VIEW ONLY:

When the Millennial Kingdom ended and Satan was loosed, the saints who reigned:

Were attacked by Satan’s armies

May have been martyred, translated, or hidden

Were not lost, and their reign is eternal in Christ

Await or participate in the New Heaven and New Earth, unharmed by Satan’s little season

“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations…”— 2 Peter 2:9 (KJV)

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord… that they may rest from their labours...”— Revelation 14:13 (KJV)

PROMPT

So, there is another resurrection before the New Earth?

🕊️ IS THERE ANOTHER RESURRECTION BEFORE THE NEW EARTH?

Yes.

The King James Bible clearly reveals two main resurrections:

The First Resurrection – for the blessed and holy

The Second Resurrection – for the rest of the dead, leading to final judgment

Only after the second resurrection and judgment does God make the New Heaven and New Earth.

📖 1. TWO RESURRECTIONS — CLEARLY SEPARATED

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

This is the first resurrection.”— Revelation 20:5 (KJV)

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power…”— Revelation 20:6 (KJV)

The first resurrection = before the Millennium

The rest of the dead rise after the 1,000 years

The second resurrection is not for reward — it leads to the Great White Throne Judgment

⚖️ 2. GREAT WHITE THRONE = SECOND RESURRECTION

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it... And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God...”— Revelation 20:11–12 (KJV)

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them...”— Revelation 20:13 (KJV)

This is a bodily resurrection of:

All the dead who were not part of the first resurrection

Unbelievers, rebels, and those judged by their works

🔥 3. THIS RESURRECTION ENDS IN THE SECOND DEATH

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

This is the second death.”— Revelation 20:14 (KJV)

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”— Revelation 20:15 (KJV)

Written in Heaven: The Mystery of the Book of Life & the Holy Ghost – Library of Rickandria

This is not a resurrection to life

It is a resurrection to condemnation

🌍 4. ONLY AFTER THIS DOES THE NEW EARTH BEGIN

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away…”— Revelation 21:1 (KJV)

The order is precise:

Satan loosed
Final deception (Gog & Magog)
Fire from heaven
Great White Throne Judgment
Second Resurrection
New Heaven and New Earth

🧩 SUMMARY — KJV TIMELINE OF RESURRECTIONS

“Marvel not at this:

for the hour is coming... all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”— John 5:28–29 (KJV)

✅ CONCLUSION — KJV ONLY:

Yes.

There is another resurrection — the second one — and it comes after the little season, just before the New Earth.

It is the resurrection of the unsaved, the rebellious, and the dead in sin, and it leads to the final judgment and the second death.

After that — God creates the New Earth, where only the redeemed dwell forever.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth... but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”— Revelation 21:27 (KJV)
