Never Be Removed

Proverbs 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 

‘The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.’ This is the 6th prophecy in Proverbs (10:30) and is unfulfilled. Redeemed people will inhabit the earth eternally (Gen. 9:12). If one keeps in mind that there will be two classes of eternal people, eternal conditions on earth will be simple to comprehend.

There are two classes of eternal people: [1] Natural people will live from the future tribulation period through the Millennium and then on into the New Earth forever – if they do not commit sin or rebel with satan at the end of the Millennium (Rev. 20:7-10; Matt. 13:39-50; 25:46). [2] Resurrected people who have part in the first resurrection will be the eternal rulers of the eternal generations of natural people (Rev. 20:4). The resurrected people will not marry or give in marriage (Matt. 22:30); but the natural people who are alive at the second coming and who are permitted to be subjects of the eternal kingdom will marry, have children, and carry out the natural program as God intended when He created Adam. They will live forever by virtue of the tree of life (Rev. 22:1-2), not by virtue of a resurrection and a change from mortality to immortality as with glorified saints (1Cor. 15:51-58; Php. 3:21).
