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. (Matthew 19:28)
Or, “renewal.” Here Jesus refers to the “regeneration,” or “renewal,” of this world, that is, to the earth in its re-created state (see Isa. 65:17; 2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21:1).
