The Body of Christ will be involved in this restoration of all things for they will be with the Lord on His own throne. (Rev. 3: 21)
The 24 Elders.
These 24 Elders are representative of the whole Body of Christ, the Overcomers. The number 24 indicates 12 for rulership, (king) and 12 for the Priesthood. A double office.
`Around the throne were twenty-four thrones,
And on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting,
Clothed in white robes;
And they had crowns of gold on their heads.`
(Rev. 4: 4)
They are kingpriests that will be seated on thrones. This is the inheritance that was promised to them. They have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus and will then be given authority, crowns, to rule and reign with Christ.
`(Christ) has made us kings & priests to His God...` (Rev. 1: 4)
`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne...` (Rev. 3: 21)
Judgments.
`And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thundering and voices.` (Rev. 4: 5)
We then hear loud noises and voices which give a sense of foreboding of awesome things ahead. This throne is a throne of judgment, and the `One` on the throne has the power of life and death. He is Heaven`s High court judge and before Him there is no other court of appeal. The prophet Daniel saw a vision of the One on this judgment throne.
`I watched till thrones were put in place,
and the Ancient of days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
and the hair on His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire;
a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him,
a thousand thousands ministered to Him;
ten thousand time ten thousand stood before Him. `
(Dan. 7: 9 & 10)
The Court.
`the court was seated...` (Dan. 7: 10)
The Body of Christ has been told that they would `judge the world system and fallen angels.` (1 Cor. 6: 2 & 3) So when they are enthroned with the Lord then they will be heaven`s court and take part in the judgments to come.
