The Hebrew Doctors say, that one of these Thrones is for the King Messiah to sit upon. There is mention made of more Thrones than one, because the Saints shall have the Honour to sit with Christ as Assesso•• in judging the World. Doubtless our Saviour had Respect to this Text in Daniel, when he said to the Apostles in Matth. 19.28. When the Son of Man shall sit upon the Throne of his Glory, ye shall also sit upon Twelve Thrones, judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Now whereas Daniel says, I beheld 'till the Thrones were pitched down, and the Judgment (i. e. they that were to be Judges) sate: John says, I saw Thrones, and they sate upon them. Daniel says, Ver. 22. And Judgment (i. e. Power of judging) was given to the Saints of the most High: John saith, And Judgment was given to them. Daniel saith, And the Saints possessed the Kingdom; that is to say, with the Son of Man who came in the Clouds of Heaven: John says, And they lived and reigned with Christ a Thousand Years. Who that well considers this can do otherwise than ⟨p. 25⟩think that Daniel's Vision of the great Judgment and universal Kingdom of Christ with his Saints, and John's Vision of the Saints reigning with Christ a Thousand Years, are one and the same Thing. See Mr. Mede's first Letter to Dr. Medus. Fol. 932.
