Dan30 Our Inheritances

   Mysteries in Daniel 12
 
Dan 12:13  "But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."
   What are the inheritances of Christians and Daniel ?

Christians Inheritance
1Thess 4:16-17  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. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
   So far only the elect (saints) are resurrected to be with the Father in the Kingdom of heaven during the 1st Resurrection or Rapture.

Reward at Rapture
    At Rapture, in the twinkling of the eye, the saints who are being taken back to heaven will immediately have their corruptible bodies transformed into the new glorious incorruptible bodies.
1. The bride of the Lamb who will sit on the throne of Jesus will be transformed into the most glorious bodies.
2. The next group - His faithful servants will be rewarded as:
a. kings - for He is the King of kings
b. lords - for He is the Lord of lords.
3. The third group will be His blessed sheep (Mat 25:34-40)
1 Cor 15:40-42  There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.

Saints will rule with Jesus
Rev 20:6  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
    At the first resurrection or Rapture, Christians receive their rewards or inheritance and will rule with Christ during His Millennium Rule. At Rapture, the remnants of the Israelites are only saved.

Peter judging 12 Israeli Tribes
Mat 19:27-28  Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore, what shall we have?" So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
   This means that Peter (including all those who have forsaken all to follow our Lord and keep His words faithfully) will sit on thrones helping Jesus seated on the Great White Throne to judge the 12 Israeli tribes. These 12 tribes including Moses, Joseph, King David, King Solomon, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, etc., will be judged by the saints (overcomers).

Why is this possible?
In Christ Jesus, Christians have a higher calling.
1. Jews own 90% of wealth, whereby Christians being stewards of God own nothing
2. Jews love their neighbours but Christians lay down their lives for the brethren,
3. 'An eye for an eye' to the Jews, but Christians must love their enemies,
   Mat 5:44  "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,"

Inheritance of Jews
Rev 20:5  But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
    Since Rapture, there will be no other resurrection until after the Millennium rule at the Great White Throne judgment of our Lord Jesus. So the Jews alongside the rest of mankind will be judged by the saints (resurrected Christians), who will assist Jesus in the Great White Throne judgment.
Rev 20:12,15  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books... And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
