All else being equal in the Bible, who is most rewarded in the kingdom of heaven and shall be the closest to Christ reigning with Him for the 1000 years before the new city and the new earth commences? Let me explain who! Follow this reasoning.
Today there are 7 billion people on the planet. Roughly speaking, let's say there are 3.5 billion women and 3.5 billion men and that every 30 years procreation takes place and each family has only one child. Only one!
If a person is expected to live 90 years of age on average, then that is 3 generations of children, so that is a total population after 90 years as follows:
7 billion + 3.5 billion x 3 generations = 17.5 billion - 7 billion = 10.5 billion people. However, this number could be much greater, since I don't know any family that has children only stops at one.
Suffice it to say the world is overpopulated now which is why we are destroying the environment, species, and doing damage to our own health, which will provide opportunity for the Antichrist to be revived from the pit.
Can you see who God rewards the 144,000 saints who are virgins in Rev. 14? God rewards other believers too who overcome, but He makes special mention of two groups: the 144,000 virgins and the martyrs (5th seal, Rev. 6). How selfless are the 144,000, for they make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. Even though they themselves have yet to overcome matters too, they are yet rewarded for keeping their virginity. We will all be eunuchs one day; the more spiritual seem to want to be ahead of time!
Therefore, they have authority! All else being equal. It is quite difficult for a person who have children to give attention to God's kingdom, and the difficulty increases the more children one has because there is only so much time in a day to our attention that we give.
Praise the Lord!
