Revelation 4:4Easy To Read VersionAround the throne there were 24 other thrones. There were 24 elders {\cf2\super [35]} sitting on the 24 thrones. The elders were dressed in white, and they had golden crowns on their heads. See the chapter |
Jesus said to the followers, “I tell you the truth. When the new world is made, the Son of Man {\cf2\super [270]} will sit on his great throne. And all of you that followed me will also sit on thrones. You will sit on twelve thrones and you will judge the twelve family groups of Israel. {\cf2\super [271]}
Now, a crown (reward) is waiting for me. I will get that crown for being right with God. The Lord is the judge who judges rightly. He will give me the crown on that Day. {\cf2\super [21]} Yes! He will give that crown to me. He will give that crown to all people who have wanted him to come again and have waited for him.
Then I saw some thrones and people sitting on them. These were the people who had been given the power to judge. And I saw the souls of those people who had been killed because \{they were faithful to\} the truth of Jesus and the message {\cf2\super [152]} from God. Those people did not worship the animal or his idol. {\cf2\super [153]} They did not receive the mark of the animal on their foreheads or on their hands. Those people became alive again and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.
Then I looked, and there were many, many people. There were so many people that a person could not count them all. They were from every nation, tribe, race of people, and language of the earth. These people were standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Jesus). They all wore white robes and had palm branches in their hands.
