1 | Rule and Reign over What? | 1 Cor 6:3 | skccab | 210997 | ||
Shalom y'all, I've got a question that's been boggling my mind for ages. The bible says that believers are to rule and reign with Messiah. OK, I've got that part easily enough, but if this is after (or also after) the millenium and great whtie throne judgement, what are we gonna rule and reign over???? There won;t be anything left that isn't a part of the Godly Family, will there? in a conundrum (???) :o) Cheri |

2 | Rule and Reign over What? | 1 Cor 6:3 | keliy | 210998 | ||
Hello Cheri, I am not claiming to have the definitive answer, just opening up for more discussion. The verse above, and the preceding, 1 Cor 6:2 support your query. Also Matt 19:28 speaks of Jesus' followers judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Besides the White Throne Judgement, there is also another judgement spoken of, the Bema Seat judgement. The Bema Seat judgment does not determine salvation. This is when we must give an account of our lives to Christ. This is also known as the Judement Seat of Christ, which is explained in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 We should not look upon the Bema Seat as Christ judging us for our sins, because we have been made righteous through His work on the cross. This judgement is where God rewards us according to our lives. Shalom, keliy |

Cheri, I must add a follow-up note, after seeing the verse above in the AMP version. The phrase, "and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them]?" appears to be an addition by the authors of that translation. This is because I do not find these words, or suggestions to that effect, in the Greek Text. Blessings, keliy |

Cheri, Thank you for such an ineresting question ! Here is an interesting commentary, -not completely in line with my thoughts above, from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible: 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels… Meaning not the ministers of the Gospel, and pastors of churches, called "angels", (Revelation 1:20) whose doctrines are examined, tried, and judged by the saints, according to the word of God; nor the good angels, who, were it possible that they could, or should publish a Gospel contrary to what has been preached by the apostle, would be contradicted, condemned, and accursed by him, see (Galatians 1:8,9) but the evil angels, the devil and his angels: and this is to be understood not of their future final judgment and condemnation at the last day, when saints will subscribe unto, and approve of the sentence pronounced upon them, and will triumph over them in their destruction; but of the judgment of them, and of their ejection out of the Gentile world, out of their oracles, idols, and idol temples, to which Christ refers, (John 12:31) and calls the judgment of this world, and the casting out of the prince of it by the ministry of his apostles; and which was now already begun, and ere long would be fully accomplished: accordingly the Syriac version renders it, "know ye not (Nnynyd akalmld) , that we are about to judge angels?" and the Arabic, "know ye not that we judge angels?" from whence the apostle infers very justly, how much more things that pertain to this life? this animal life; to the trade and business of life; to pecuniary matters, to estates and possessions in this world, about which differences may arise between one saint and another. These thoughts of course, are John Gill's and can be found at: http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/GillsExpositionoftheBible/ Peace, keliy |

Keliy Thank you for your thoughts and efforts. It's much appreciated. The previous thread (Am I Ignorant) got me to thinking about the world to come (I'm not so much heaven-bound-minded as I am world-to-come-bound-minded.) :o) Baruch k'vod malchuto l'olam va'ed Blessed be Your glorious kingdom for ever Cheri |

Aaaah one of my favorite prayers, we sing it each shabbat at prayers. If you're interested in the Hebrew language, email me sometime, maybe we can learn together!! I've learned how to read Hebrew (with the vowel points) but my vocabulary is quite small. :o( BTW, to anyone, are you having problems receiving email notifications of responses to your posts? It's been a little over a week since I've received any emails from SBF!! Cheri |

Dear Cheri, I pray that your health is progressing sactisfactorily and it is good to see you post with good spirit. I think you have made a pretty good advice to Keliy for Hebrew communication via private email instead of on a public English speaking forum :-) If I would have met any forum user who can speak my native tongue, I, too, will be tempted to communicate in phonetic symbols for Chinese :-) Well then, I would need to remind myself about "self-control" (the fruit of the Holy Spirit). Shalom Azure |

Shalom dear Azure, Yes, I am doing much better, thank you. The fact that you speak and write such lovely English, I have to constantly remind myself that you also have an extremely daunting native language. Hats off to you, sweet sister!! I'm just in first stages of learning Hebrew, would love to find someone else to study it with. :o) Cheri |
