1	Will the time of the judges be restored?	Ruth 1:1	Reighnskye	130886
	Will the time of the judges be restored in Christ's future kingdom? When Christ chose twelve disciples, he fashioned this group after the structure of the twelve tribes of Israel, intending for the twelve disciples to lead twelve tribes, in future governmental authority. Indeed, sitting upon their twelve future thrones, it is quite likely that they shall even judge angels, and not only the combined nations of the earth. Of course, one of the apostles (Judas Iscariot) was lost, as symbolic also of the loss of the tribe of Benjamin in the last chapter of the book of Judges.
2	Will the time of the judges be restored?	Ruth 1:1	Searcher56	130916
	While Matthew 19:28 does say they will be judging the 12 tribes of Israel, ... where deos Bible mention they will judge angels? ... where does it say Judas Iscariot symbolic of Benjamin ... where does it say Benjamin is a lost tribe (Rev 7:8)?
3	Will the time of the judges be restored?	Ruth 1:1	Reighnskye	131158
	Searcher, Here is the verse that you referenced where the twelve apostle will judge the twelve tribes of Israel in the millennial kingdom. And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Matthew 19:28 NAS95) ---- And here is the mention of the saints judging angels. The contrast that I believe is made here is the differentiation between this world and the coming kingdom. Another idea being that angelic beings are inferior to regenerate and immortal human beings, even if the angels exceed us for now. I view that none of God's angels are free from the blemish of sin and a number of them even fell through their own free volition. Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? (1 Corinthians 6:2-3 NAS95) ---- And here is the mention of the cutting off of the tribe of Benjamin at the hands of the other tribes, although this can be interpreted any number of ways. Your Rev 7:8 reference is clear indication of the restoration of this cut off tribe. And the sons of Israel were sorry for their brother Benjamin and said, "One tribe is cut off from Israel today. (Judges 21:6 NAS95) So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25,000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors. But 600 men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon four months. The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found. (Judges 20:46-48 NAS95) Reighnskye
