Will Christians rule over angels in the future?
Yes, Christians will rule over angels in the future. The word 'judge' means to govern or rule, and angels will be beneath believers. They will rule and reign with Christ in His earthly kingdom, positioned above the hosts of angels.
Les explains that the word 'judge' in this passage goes back to government and ruling. He emphasizes that believers will rule over angels, and angels are even going to be beneath us. This future position is part of ruling and reigning with Christ on the earthly kingdom, where believers will be above the hosts of the angels. Les then applies this by saying that if believers have such a future, how much more should they handle things pertaining to this life. He reminds believers that they are somebody when God is in it.
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
