Garee do you actually read the posts. Did I not put the answer to your question right in the post? Below are some of the characteristics of the millennial period. Please pay attention to the part that says, "the Lion will eat straw like the Ox."
"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.
The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."

At the end of the thousand year reign of Christ as demonstrated below:
"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them."

It is not my chart, but was close to what I Believe, so I decided to use it. I am Not sure what he was referring to there, but if he was saying that they get resurrected and given a second chance even tho they worshiped false gods, because they never heard of Christ; I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH HIM!
Romans 1:18-22 (HCSB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth,
[SUP]19 [/SUP] since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.
[SUP]21 [/SUP] For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Claiming to be wise, they became fools
NOW if he meant the following, then I would agree. Consider the Native American Tribes prior to Christians immigrating to America. The monotheistic tribes that Recognized there is only ONE GOD who Created everything that is, seeing HIS HAND in everything HE created, often calling Him THE GREAT SPRIT; they would be saved and resurrected, because of that Basic FAITH.
Those tribes that created for themselves multiple other gods to worship, would be like any cult of this world, and would literally be SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH (verse 18 above), by worshiping false gods. That is also why I think the theory of EVOLUTION is also SUPRRESSING THE TRUTH.

Here are a few.
Hosea 2:18-20 (GW)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] “On that day I will make an arrangement with the wild animals, the birds, and the animals that crawl on the ground. I will destroy all the bows, swords, and weapons of war, so people can live safely.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] “Israel, I will make you my wife forever. I will be honest and faithful to you. I will show you my love and compassion.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] I will be true to you, my wife. Then you will know the LORD.
GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ISRAEL.
Jeremiah 3:20 (RSV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Surely, as a faithless wife leaves her husband, so have you been faithless to me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.'"
Isaiah 62:4-5 (NIV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
[SUP]5 [/SUP] As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

David was the forerunner of Jesus.
Like Jesus,David possessed all three anointings . Prophet,priest,and king.
David,like Jesus,had not a single wife.
Intercourse is used in older writings concerning intimacy with God.
In fact,intercourse,in human terms,is a cheap imitation of the intimacy available through the HS.
When John placed his ear on Jesus' chest,he was communing with his savior and God.
This is the vivid picture of the five wise virgins.
He is coming for his bride. The ENTIRE next event surrounds that dynamic.
The single biggest,and most overlooked component of the next big event.
He will only take his intimate ones.
