In the Millennium, babies will be born (as the sands of the sea), and few, if any will die prior to the Great White Throne Judgment.
The discussion/ponder question is: The soul of each new child, will it be a 'new' soul, or perchance, a 'once lived' soul, of a person, who never knew YHVH, Messiah, nor Holly Spirit?
I have been unable to answer the question from scripture, and was forced to use conjecture from my understanding of Father God's persona, to render my guesstimation. I believe that 'once lived' souls are given the opportunity to return into a new birth, to live under the reign of Messiah, to have the opportunity to be saved. God, so-loves-man that, not only did He give His only 'begotten' Son, to pay for our sins, He will make sure that all souls have the opportunity to qualify for status as 'Acceptable Family.'
I could offer some other determining ponderations, but will leave it at this point, in the hopes that someone out there is smarter, and better read, enough to give me guidance, through scripture, and opinion.
Offered to you, in my Love for Messiah, and His Shalom. Arley

There is no indication in scripture that God "recycles" souls after death of the body, giving them another chance in another body to accept Messiah and escape condemnation.
As for opportunity, we must acknowledge that God has revealed Himself to man:
See
Romans 1:18-25
and that there is only one life's opportunity to believe on Jesus:
Hebrews 9:25 And as it is appointed unto men
once to die, but
after this the judgment:
It is so very important that we listen (and tell the gospel!) in the here and now, for God is right (and holy), and we are wrong (and sinful). We cannot claim an extension of opportunity to accept the "word of reconciliation"
2 Corinthians 5:19 (that Christ died for us and rose again) after the conclusion of this life; this is it.
Make this Decision 2008 for Y'shua Messiach!, all you Undecideds.
We were one with Him from the foundation of the world. If you consider that there is no time in the Spirit because there is no death in His Spirit (time is the measurement of death, ie. something has to die to create time), then they already have their glorified bodies, HIS. If we were one with Him, then He has a many-membered body that is Spirit.
Our natural proclivity is to only look at the flesh, but this is why when He appeared to Paul on the Damascus road, Paul saw NO MAN, but only a light. He is the light of all men that come into the world.
This is why He asked Paul, why are you persecuting Me? And everyone at first assumes He was talking about the flesh bodies of the newborn church, ONLY. In fact, His body is Spirit, encased in a robe of soulish flesh. And these are they, that have washed their ROBES, in the blood of the Lamb.
The essence of being born from above (as it should be translated) is that we are caught back up into our spiritual mother's womb, ie. Jerusalem that is from above. He said what is not possible with man (going back into our natural mother's womb) IS possible with G-d. And so Paul said, our conversation is from heaven. So, where are you (your soul)?
In the Millennium, babies will be born (as the sands of the sea), and few, if any will die prior to the Great White Throne Judgment.

Oooops! Sorry. I should have used the word: 'about' (I have inserted it above within the double '(())'s. I had a vision(?) or whatever, that gave me the ponderation subject and answer. I cannot find anything in Gods word that alludes to the subject question. I was hoping that someone, better versed than I could help me learn more.
If my question offends anyone, please just pass it by, and forget you saw it. I am looking for assistance, not criticism (Lord knows I have already criticized myself a bunch for having the thought, and not being able to understand).
To one and all, Shalom in Messiah. Arley
To Navy Blue-
Normally creativity is not a virtue in the area of theology.
However, we take our mental overlays from the past history of christendom that may or may not be correct compared to scripture.
Reincarnation means to come back as an animal or soemthing.
Resesutation means to come back as a mortal such as Lazarus, or the widow of Nain's son.
Resurection means to come back in a glorified body. Well, at least for clarifying this, I imagine it could also apply to Lazarus.
So, we have terminology that could confuze peoeple ehere.
I would suggeest not useing the word Riencarnation as it will freak people out.
I vaguely remember a teaching that said that people born during the new millennium would be some of those who war with Satan at the very end. This was a bit confusing in and of itself since I thought by then all conflict would be over. By I have no verse to substantiate my memory *L*
Would you mind sharing your vision, NavyBlue?

Shalom Chad.
I was very specific not to use the word 'Reincarnation,' as it will not be anything that fits what 'we' mortals understand. The Soul, returning, will have a body. It would have to be a new body, I guess (I wasn't told), but with 'new' DNA parents, I presume the mortal carbon body would be new. Lazarus does not come close to explaining, as the Soul that returns, must make the choice, as offered, to return.
I was not told to share with, or enlighten, anyone, and perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut. I was hoping someone, more qualified in God's word, could help me document my understanding of the vision I received.
In Messiah, Shalom. Arley

Shalom Chow_woman, Oh yes, after the thousand years is a 'quickie war' between God and Satan, including all the dummies living through the millennium, who decide, for some reason, to join Satan.
(Rev 20:7 KJV) And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
(Rev 20:8 KJV) And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
That is the last, and if I am correct, very short war. I think God will have those He will have, and Satan, those he will have, at that point in the last moments of 'time.'
Who knows, someone may know if there is an answer in the Bible (in so many words), and I will feel much better for asking the question. The only bad question in the world, is the question having no answer. Perhaps I have found the question. Hmmmmm!
Shalom. Arley
Some tidbits for your consideration...... A day is like a thousand years unto the L-rd. The 7th day was no part darkness, not because there was no darkness there, but because it had been covered over (or consumed) by the light, just as the tablets of the law, the beginning of the ministration of condemnation that brought death to the disobedient flesh were covered over by the mercy seat.
Light , Spirit and His blood are synonymous in meaning, ie. the daystar arising in our hearts is the Spirit of the risen Yeshua, ie. His blood has been sprinkled within the innermost chamber of our hearts.
The 7th day, the day of His rest, has already been established IN the One who said, "I AM the resurrection and the life." Seven in Hebrew means perfect, complete, sacred, and we are complete IN HIM. This is why we are baptized INTO His body, which is Spirit and life.
