There is now approximately 6 billion people on the earth, that would mean approximately 2 billion people will be living in the world the day after the Battle of Armageddon when Christ begins His millennial Kingdom . The Bible teaches that mankind will continue having children during the Millennium and on the New Earth, forever! The Bible says nothing about Christians having children in Heaven , nor does it say anything about married physical love existing for the raptured saints. Possibly, because the Church is the bride of Christ, a Royal Priesthood of believers, therefore there will be no need for additions to the church in Heaven, because there will be no death there. Luke 20:35, tells us that we will neither marry nor are given in marriage during that time. The Bible indicates we will know our loved ones and our family and will probably live in mansions, in The New Jerusalem, as a family. We will enjoy new and old friendships and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. Scripture makes it clear that Jews and Gentiles who live in the Millennium and beyond on the new Earth will continue having children forever. Who would the Saints rule over if no one survived 2 3 the battle of Armageddon . Isaiah 59:21 As for Me, this is My Covenant with them, saith the Lord; My Spirit that is upon thee, and My Words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever. The population of the earth will increase rapidly during the millennium, as there will be little death. On the new earth there will be no death and the population will again increase very rapidly. God told Abraham that his descendents would be as the sand of the sea. I believe the new earth will soon be too small to accommodate the rapidly increasing population. As we look at the Heavens on a clear night we’re filled with awe at God’s power and creation. Now with our satellite probes moving out beyond the solar system toward interstellar space, we are beginning to grasp that the universe is far larger than we can ever possibly measure. God does nothing without a purpose. Why did God create such a vast universe if the tiny Earth is the only place that will ever be inhabited? The Bible clearly teaches that after the millennium, the Jews and Gentiles will continue to have children forever, as the sand of the sea and that no one will ever die because there is no more sin. God’s promise to Abraham was as follows: in blessing I will bless you; and in multiplying I will multiply your descendents as the stars of the Heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore Genesis 20 2:17. 3 4 Since the known stars are numbered in millions of trillions, the future population of mankind is beyond numbering. If only one star in a million has planets, then there are millions of planets to be explored someday. Our own small galaxy, one of millions observed to date, is so large that a spaceship traveling at the speed of light [187,000 miles per second] would take over 100,000 years to cross . Recently, astrologers discovered several nearby stars that possess planets. Interstellar space travel in our human bodies with a 70 year life span, is practically impossible. However, in our resurrected bodies which we will receive at the rapture, we can travel at the speed of thought, just as Christ and the angels appear at will whenever they want. Once we receive our new resurrected bodies, we will be given the opportunity to explore the vast riches of God’s creation in His immeasurable Universe. The logical conclusion is that the future population explosion of mankind, after the millennium, will finally exceed the capacity of the earth. Perhaps, the Lord’s ultimate plan for a sinless humanity is to explore and inhabit His vast universe. The role of the church, the bride of Christ, will be to rule and reign with the Messiah, Jesus Christ forever. We will enjoy an adventure beyond our fondest dreams as we experience all the wonders of a vast and beautiful universe created by the Lord Jesus Christ! What about our future? Many of the things I say, in lesson number 45 and 46 are the results of over 40 years of studying prophecy and the Holy Scripture, and are not specifically stated in the Holy Scriptures, they are what I believe the Holy Spirit has 4 5 shown me.
