² Do you not know that ^(A)the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

²⁸ So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ^(A)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³⁰ that ^(A)you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, ^(B)and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

²² until the Ancient of Days came, ^(A)and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

⁴ And I saw ^(A)thrones, and they sat on them, and ^(B)judgment was committed to them. Then I saw ^(C)the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, ^(D)who had not worshiped the beast ^(E)or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they ^(F)lived and ^(G)reigned with Christ for ^[a]a thousand years.

²¹ To him who overcomes ^(A)I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps ^(A)My works until the end, ^(B)to him I will give power over the nations—

as I also have received from My Father;

¹⁸ But ^(A)the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the ^(A)harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

^18 (A)while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
