hand” Revelation 22:10.
hath part in the first resurrection.... They shall
be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign
with Him a thousand years.”
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them.” During
the thousand years, the saints live in the New
Jerusalem, the city of God; and as priests of
God and of Christ, they sit in judgment on the
cases of the wicked. “Do ye not know,” wrote
Paul to the Corinthians, “that the saints shall
judge the world? ...Know ye not that we shall
judge angels?” Peter had this judicial work in
mind when he wrote that “God spared not the
angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell,
and delivered them into chains of darkness, to
be reserved unto judgment.”
