July 12 - Start Your Day Right Devotion Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. THRONES ON WHICH WERE SEATEDThose who sit on the thrones with authority to judge (or “rule”) with Christ during the thousand years are probably faithful followers of Christ from the church age (before the rapture of the church and the judgments of the great tribulation). They are the overcomers from all churches of all times (Revelation 2:7) and may also include God’s faithful people throughout the Old Testament period (Ezekiel 37:11-14; Ephesians 2:14-22; 3:6: Hebrews 11:39-40). It seems that all of these return to earth with Christ when He comes to defeat the armies of the anti-christ and establish His thousand-year reign (Revelation 19:14). Among these are Christ’s original disciples who helped establish the New Testament church; they will judge, or rule, the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 22:30). Those who come to life after Christ’s return are said to be His faithful ones who died for their faith during the tribulation (Revelation 6:9; 12:17). They will join Christ’s faithful followers from the church age in reigning with Christ during the thousand years. John does not mention the resurrection of the faithful of Christ’s churches who have died because this occurred when Christ removed His church from the earth and took His followers to heaven prior to the great tribulation judgments (John 14:3; 1 Corinthians 15:51).
