The answer is: You will sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel

Matt 19:27-28 - The throne of Judas was taken by another.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus makes an intriguing promise to His twelve apostles after they express concern about what they will receive for their sacrifices in following Him. It's captivating to think about what these “thrones” really represent and the significance of judgment over the twelve tribes. This idea of thrones indicates a shift from a traditional concept of power towards service and responsibility, suggesting that Jesus envisioned His disciples as leaders who would guide others with wisdom and fairness.

Echoes of this promise resonate throughout Scripture, touching on themes of stewardship and Reiki, that can also be found across Jewish texts. For instance, the concept of rewarding wise judges comes up in Proverbs, underscoring the importance of justice in leadership. It’s also intriguing to contextualize this promise — remember that Israel was historically divided into twelve tribes buttressed by deep social and familial loyalties. Being entrusted with roles such as this reflects not just authority but a call to a challenging role that embodies selflessness and responsibility.

Interestingly, after the resurrection, the epistles highlight how these apostles operated, often serving as community leaders without any Thrones needed. Instead of looking for seats of power, each disciple became known as a shepherd of faith among various communities, suggesting that Jesus redefined power through service rather than accolades.
