They will never again experience physical hardship or sorrow in the new creation. The big question is are they part of the 144,000 which are sealed?

Update The Sealing Of 144,000

We've just recently had the darkening of the moon in Matthew 24:29 and Mark 13:24. It says this happens after the tribulation, so has the tribulation taken place?

Below, I mention the Great Tribulation, it's not the same as tribulation. the Great Tribulation

Goodnight all, the hate you see being spewed out over the social media platforms just enforces Jesus's word about being hated. What gets me is when it's someone claiming to be a follower of Christ. Which just goes to show you hate holds no boundaries including the do gooders!

(17) But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
(18) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
(19) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Rest Of God

Those who don't believe in Christ and his words will be denied eternity. We must listen to that inner voice in the bottom of our hearts(1Kings 19:12). Obey it and you will enter into the rest of God, refuse it and you will be excluded just as those from Canaan.
