I was reading Matthew 19:28 and got confused. Anyone care to offer a view as to what Christ was saying? Specifically my confusion is dealing with the twelve thrones ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel. If he's talking to the twelve apostles, then isn't Judas one of them at this point?
Calvin wasn't any help to me on this issue. His commentaries give some insights though ..."He compares them to ambassadors, or to high judges and presidents, who occupy the foremost seats in the regal court. We know that the twelve apostles were chosen to testify that God wished to gather together at Christ's coming the dispersed remnants of His people. " (Calvin)
