James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
English “Blessed” emboldened in James 1:12 was translated from Greek adjective 3107 makarios which was 44 times correctly translated into English “blessed” best exemplified in Revelation 20:6 “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. The “thousand years” are between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. The “thousand years” in which God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “election” “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” and cause “the rest” {more than 8 billion human beings} “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” which is God’s will as documented in 1Timothy 2:3-6 Ephesians 1:10 Romans 8:21 Romans 14:10-11 Acts 24:15 and on and on.
