Matt 19: 27, 28
Excerpt:…this is the Peter conversion factor. And it gets deeper. In Peter, the current disciples become deputized to manage the reparations of Israel. It says “ Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? “ 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.”—Matt 19: 27, 28. Heaven’s antidote for black oppression —though heretofore ignored by all— is locked in these words from Christ. I must extrapolate the Lord’s assurance from this Text since they are man’s shelter in the time of storm. Thereby we, like a clean, cud-chewing beast, may fully consume it. Let’s do it: Peter asked for reward, and —knowing that Peter was an icon of the housebuilder today— the Lord answered by commissioning him to wait. But wait for what!? — wait for the day of Israel’s regeneration. It is the day of reparation —not for the Jews, not the gentiles, not even the Adventists, but— reparation for all twelve tribes! Let it not be under emphasized: Israel’s regeneracy implies that beforehand they would be in a state of degeneracy. The Lord, said, “…whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 … and it fell not.”. So I warn Jerusalem: that rock is your strength; don’t schlep aside these words about your salvation. America is not that house; she will fall, and when she does in this time of storm today, her dollars will fall too. She now has 40 trillion in debt; Her treasury can’t even repair that hole. This message was specifically given to the disciples: Again, we re-read: “ 27 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 … 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.” —Matt 19: 27, 28. The welcome-home party for the Prodigal —laid out by end-time Davidic disciples— is the first expression of their endowment of favorable judgment of the 12 tribes. Like Peter, the disciples must wait in the SDA Church, Zion, for the expressed purpose of elevating Jerusalem…
