@keithr (I’m just curious) you expect a 1,000 years to be able to get people back to human perfection?
A thousand years has been set aside for perfecting everyone. It is the easy way, not the narrow way that Christians have to take now.
Isaiah 11:1-10 (WEB):
(1) A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit. {Jesus}
(2) Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
(3) His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
(4) but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
(5) Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his waist.
(6) The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.
(7) The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
(8) The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
(9) They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
(10) It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.
Isaiah 35:1-10 (WEB):
(1) The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
(2) It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Yahweh’s glory, the excellence of our God.
(3) Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
(4) Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong. Don’t be afraid. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.
(5) Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
(6) Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
(7) The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
(8) A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called The Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
(9) No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
(10) Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
If Angels could leave Yahvah, I don’t see why a resurrected person couldn’t walk right out the gates if they decided too…
That's why there will be a testing and a judgement at the end of the 1,000 years of reign, to ensure that only those suitable for eternal life will be allowed to have eternal life.
