Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

years.
The resurrection of both good and evil at the same time.
There is no separation of years between good and evil.
All are called forth in the same hour!
In , four times Jesus referred to His disciples being raised up at “the last day” (, , , ).
This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
, , the disciples of Christ raised “at the last day.”
, , Martha understood that the resurrection would be “at the last day.”
If the resurrection of the righteous is “at the last day,” it can’t be 1,000 years BEFORE the last day!
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
The dead in Christ will rise first.
This does not mean first and then 1,000 the dead not in Christ will rise.
The order of events in is not between saved and lost, but between those that died in Christ and those that are still alive in Christ when He comes ().
The lost are not at all under consideration in this passage.

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Jesus is going to come!
When he comes, every eye will see Him.
At that time, He will judge all mankind.

Jesus was the legal heir of Coniah (Jehoiachin) (. ().

Coniah (Jehoiachin) is called Jechoniah in the genealogy of Jesus ().
If Jesus were to reign on earth in Jerusalem then it would be through His legal lineage through Joseph, but His biological lineage through Mary.
However, His legal lineage was through Coniah - who’s descendants COULD NOT reign on the throne of David in Jerusalem.
James Meadows calls this the “death knell” of Premillennialism.
Jesus can reign on the throne of David because it is not in Jerusalem.
Jesus was raised to sit on the throne of David ().
Jesus sits at the right hand of God reigning on David’s throne NOW (; ).
The kingdom of Christ is not on earth with its headquarters in Jerusalem.
Explicitly stated to Pilate ().
The kingdom IS the church, not coming after the church!
