Thanks for the ping.
Hey quix!
Hope you are doing good!
I meant to add this to my last post...
Matthew 19:27-28, the apostle Peter says “We have left everything and followed you. What will we have?” Jesus said to them, “You can be sure that when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne in the New Age, then you twelve followers of mine will also sit on thrones, to rule the twelve tribes of Israel”
….sit on thrones … That is what the apostles of the Lord will have when the millenarian Empire will start.
The apostles of the Lord get the same glory as the Lord Himself. They will rule over the twelve tribes of Israel.
This means that the apostles get the task to serve as His judges over the people of Israel. They act on behalf of Jesus Christ...
The Son of Man sits on His glorious throne. The Son of Man is typically a term which expresses the Humanity of Jesus Christ. It is a term which emphasis the earthy government of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ will then rule this world as the Son of Man and not as the Son of God.
From my understanding Jesus has already chosen the Apostles to rule with him in Israel...Now from an Orthodox Judasim point of view, I was wanting to understand if they believe the 12 tribes of Israel will rule the Nation of Israel or the gentile nations or not at all?
