When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom, prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

-Matthew 25:31-34

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

-Matthew 13;39-43

But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

-I Corinthians 15:23-24

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:47-50

4. Premillennial presentations speak of two or more different resurrections and judgments, while Scripture testifies of only one resurrection and judgment of both the righteous and the wicked. (Revelation 20:5 and 6 is the only exception and these verses will be examined later.)

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

-Daniel 12:2

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.

-Matthew 16:27

Marvel not at this: for 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; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

-John 5:28-29

5. Premillennial interpretation refers to Christ's physical return to earth a thousand years before the end of the world, while Scripture testifies of Christ being in heaven until the end of time.

And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

-Acts 3:20-21

But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever. sat down on the right hand of God:

From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.

-Hebrews 10:12-13

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

-II Peter 3:10


How does premillennialism picture a heaven-like condition on this earth before the new. eternal heaven is ushered in by God?
