Jehoshua is on the throne of David in New Jerusalem and He is the King of a New Israel
Seventh Day Anabaptist statement of end time beliefs We believe that when Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, he was established as the King and sat on the Davidic throne instituting the millennium which lasts until His second advent. We believe that when Christ comes back that the dead saints will resurrect with glorified bodies and then we which are alive will be caught up to be with Jesus. We believe that after this harvest of the righteous, Christ will immediately pour fire and brimstone out on the wicked from heaven as those on the earth will be destroyed. We believe that after Jesus fights and destroys the nations that came against Jerusalem (The Church) that He with all His saints will descend upon the Mount of Olives and making it cleave into a great big valley. We believe that after the destruction of the living wicked, that the resurrection of the unjust will take place which will consist of unbelievers of all ages. We believe that the White Throne Judgment will take place in this great big valley called the “Valley of Jehoshaphat” which means Jehovah judges. This is where Jehovah the Son will judge the nations and separate them “goats and sheep”. For believers this will be a judgement of rewards, for unbelievers this will be a judgement of condemnation. Believers will take part in judging the wicked, including the fallen angels. The judgment of the believers likely will be first and possibly right after we are resurrected and caught up in the clouds. We believe that the goats will be cast into the lake of fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. The devil will also be cast into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet will be also. Death and hell (the grave) with it’s minions (unbelievers) will be cast into the lake of fire and destroyed. This called the second death where the unbelieving will be burn and suffer torment each according to their works and they will be finally annihilated. The last enemy will have finally been defeated. We believe that this earth and heavens will then be recreated by Christ, hence a new heaven and new earth. We believe that after this, Christ will turn over the Kingdom back unto the Father and New Jerusalem will descend to the new earth (on the land where earthly Jerusalem was). The Father will dwell with His saints and be their God and they will see His face. We believe that the Passover (at least once), new moons, feast of tabernacles and weekly Sabbath will be kept in the new heaven and new earth. Eschatological terms and our understanding of what they mean 144,000 – We believe that this number is symbolic, representing the Church of all ages (Old testament and New testament). In Revelation 7:1-8, we believe this number represents the end time Church. In Revelation 14, we believe the 144,000 represents the Church of all ages in their redeemed state.
