"everlasting life on a paradise earth" Is that what Paul taught that applies to believers today ?
--------------------------
If you check you will see Paul was addressing his fellow anointed Christians called ''holy ones'' in the letters he wrote. These are part of the 144,000 that go to heaven to rule with Jesus.
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through God’s will, to the holy ones who are in Ephʹe·sus+ and are faithful in union with Christ Jesus:
These ''holy ones'' are those that are in line to rule from heaven with Jesus over mankind in general here on earth.
Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, someone like a son of man+ was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days,+ and they brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership,+ honor,+ and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him.+ His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
Dan 7:29 “‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens were given to the people who are the holy ones of the Supreme One.+ Their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,+ and all rulerships will serve and obey them.’
Because we are not one of the ''holy ones'', our hope is to be subjects of that kingdom here on earth, not rulers with Jesus from heaven.
