Sharing Christ's Heavenly reign

[Zynxensar]

Hey guys!

I’ve read up in scripture and other spiritual books that states we would share in Christ’s Heavenly reign. Does this mean that all of us who are in Heaven will reign over the world alongside Christ? But who are we reigning over if all of us are in Heaven already? Aren’t we just reigning over ourselves…? Some clarification would be highly appreciated, thanks

in Christ’s Heavenly reign. Does this mean that all of us who are in Heaven will reign over the world alongside Christ?

Some say that heaven and earth will be as united as the human and divine nature of Jesus. They share in the same hypostatic union. So what will it look like? The earth is visible, heaven is not. It will look like a living earth, creatures united in the bonds of eternal love. Heaven will bring union love, beauty and everlasting eternal life
Christ reigns in heaven. He reigns over the heavenly host. His Angels. Well , when He reigns. there will be a new earth. In this world heaven and earth are a far apart. In the next. heaven and earth are joined in a hypostatic union. A gift from Jesus to His bride the Church.

We reign with Him because God became human. He made every thing for us. He share His reign with man.Man reigns over the angels… The Saints will judge angels. The entire creation is ours.

What will it be really like? Better than it’s possible to imagine.

Hi!

Yeah, this is one of those difficult passages…

Since we don’t really know what will take place then… we are usually speculating (guessing); here’s my take: the Apostles and the Believers:

6:2 As you know, it is the saints who are to ‘judge the world’; and if the world is to be judged by you, how can you be unfit to judge trifling cases? 6:3 Since we are also to judge angels, it follows that we can judge matters of everyday life; (1 Corinthians)

But unless there’s a group of people who will continue to exist without change there’s no need for any sort of ruling past Judgment Day:

15:51 I will tell you something that has been secret: that we are not all going to die, but we shall all be changed. 15:52 This will be instantaneous, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. It will sound, and the dead will be raised, imperishable, and we shall be changed as well, 15:53 because our present perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality. (1 Corinthians)

…and once everything is placed under Christ’s Domain, what else is there?:

1:21 far above every Sovereignty, Authority, Power, or Domination, or any other name that can be named not only in this age but also in the age to come. 1:22 He has put all things under his feet and made him, as the ruler of everything, the head of the Church; 1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills the whole creation. (Ephesians)

So everyone is United in Christ:

8:16 The Spirit himself and our spirit bear united witness that we are children of God. 8:17 And if we are children we are heirs as well: heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, sharing his sufferings so as to share his glory. (Romans)

…in effect, we will reign with Christ.

Maran atha!
