In the Psalms, it was prophesied that God’s saints would be judges:
Psa 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
Psa 149:6-9 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written:
this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Jesus prophesied to Peter that His 12 disciples/apostles will be judges:
Matt 19:27-29 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that a portion of God’s saints (those who have trusted Christ through the apostle Paul’s ministry, who-they-call, solely, the body of Christ) will be in heaven for eternity .... and that all the rest of God’s saints (meaning those who were saved BEFORE Paul and AFTER their unscriptural pre-tribulation, pre-70th-week-of-Daniel rapture of just Paul’s converts) will inherit the earth, especially and particularly the nation Israel. ‘Mid-Acts-ers’ ignore the very apostle they claim to follow, Paul, when he prophesied to the saints that they/we will be judges:
1 Cor 6:2-3 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
Recently, I heard the Cunning Royal Jester ask, ‘Do you know what world the saints will judge?’ .... Then he answered his own question, ‘The world of angels, that’s what world!’
For Paul to tell the saints that they shall judge the world, presupposes the fact that the saints will have to be ‘in the world’ in order to judge it. We know where ‘the world’ is. We know about this world .... and the world to come (Matt 12:32; Mark 10:30; Luke 18:30; Eph 1:21; Heb 2:5, 6:5).
This is David Dowell saying, "Think about it!"
