8 Two Groups The Millennium Glorified Saints Natural Humans Raptured and resurrected believers No longer bothered by illness, sin or death Bodies will be incorruptible Survived Tribulation without dying They will normal lives, similar to us today There will be some big bonuses

9 Perfect Place? The Millennium The Natural people will have passions & lusts which come from a sinful nature. The binding of Satan indicates that people will have natures to which he could appeal. Why would Christ will rule with a “rod of iron” if all people fully obeyed God? Satan will have sympathizers after his release. Sin will not be a problem for glorified saints.
