{In the regeneration} (en t(8869) palingenesi(8369)). The new
birth of the world is to be fulfilled when Jesus sits on his
throne of glory. This word was used by the Stoics and the
Pythagoreans. It is common also in the mystery religions (Angus,
_Mystery Religions and Christianity_, pp. 95ff.). It is in the
papyri also. We must put no fantastic ideas into the mouth of
Jesus. But he did look for the final consummation of his kingdom.
What is meant by the disciples also sitting on twelve thrones is
not clear.
