Q317 : Who Enters the Millennial Kingdom?

Dr. Woods,

Who actually do you believe enters the millennial kingdom? Matthew 25:31-46 says the righteous (sheep) inherit ETERNAL life. Does this imply they don’t enter into the millennial kingdom?

A317 : by Andy Woods

Those that enter the millennial kingdom are tribulation survivors who are believers. They demonstrate their faith by helping the Jews or Christ brethren during the tribulation. They will enter the kingdom in mortal bodies and repopulate the earth. The goats or unbelievers will be cast off the earth into Hades.
