When will the New Jerusalem descend from heaven and we will be living with God. Will it be after the 1000 year reign of Christ or after the tribulation (before the 1000 year reign of Christ). In other words; will the 1000 year reign of Christ be in the New Jerusalem?

The New Jerusalem will be after the 1000 yr. reign(an earthly reign) We,(not the martyrs spoken of in Rev.20) will be still in heaven as spirits till the New Jerusalem.
We come in the picture when Christ puts all of His enemies under His feet- that means Satan.
Then we receive our physical bodies again- when believers are judged(& rewarded accordingly) for their deeds done in Christ, for Christ.
Thanks, that is just what I believe but, in discussing it with others, I found a difference of opinion. Some think it's during the 1000 year reign of Christ. Do you have scriptures on the subject? I've searched and haven't found the ones I need. You are a wonderful help.
I've been thinking about the millenium reign & I believe the 1st resurrection in Rev. 20, to be a metaphor.
Please see this interpretation: The 1000 Year Reign of Christ ???

No way. We get our new bodies the minute we are raptured (i'm guessing you don't believe in the "rapture") and the New Jerusalem is during the 1000 yr reign. Are you telling me we are going to rule and reign with Christ and not have a earthy body like HIS? I don't THINK so.....we will be able to eat, drink and work for him. We will need our new bodies and I am looking forward to mine. (you can look for me, I will be the one in the pink bikini)
Rev.20 has gotten my interest lately & I think I've looked at everything else in Rev. except this chapter. I think I breezed through it & accepted it as something happening to another group.
How can the 1,000 yr. reign be the New Jerusalem? It's not. It's a literal thousand yrs. (or a long time) isn't it.? It's on earth.
And so when we are raptured, we get our glorified bodies on our way to heaven ....then in Rev.19, Christ comes on the white horse & we are the heavenly armies with him.
So, basically we stay here for the 1,000 yrs. in Utopia on earth? I think so bc we have to be in the 1st resurrection.
Wow, then Jesus gives the Kingdom up to God & a New Jerusalem comes down from heaven.

Wow, I'll have to remember to pack lightly.
Look I'm not an expert on this subject and it has been several years since I studied it. Yes we will rule and reign with Christ on Earth...but it is my understanding that the New Jerusalem will come down and you can actually see it from here. That might sound kinda weird and I really need to go study it again. But that is what I thought I read anyhow. But I don't know for sure so I don't want anyone gettin on me about that.
That's O.K. Tessy 777,
I am not going to say I understand Rev. at this point (Rev.20)
Maybe if we keep this thread alive, there may be a convincing end to the story concerning the 1,000 yrs.
I think Rev.20 has to be literal(1,000 yrs.) or else we throw away too much scripture.(Old & New Testament)
Somehow, I thought the earth would be destroyed with the Tribulation. But maybe not or not all, or another explanation.
OK. So I'll talk with you later!
I think the Bible says that Christ will riegn "on the Earth" for a thousand years. That's why I thought the New Jeruselam would descend after the thousand years but there certainly are other opinions on the subject. I have found that most people believe that the thousand year reign of Christ will be in the New Jeruselam.
