“Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
and faithfulness the belt of His waist.”
Isaiah 11:5 

Along with Jesus Christ, those in their resurrected state will have positions of authority. Specifically, David will have special responsibilities over the house of Israel. The twelve apostles will judge the twelve tribes of Israel who will enter the millennium in their natural human bodies. Church-age- believers and tribulation martyrs will also have a part in the rule and reign of Christ’s government.

It is easy to see why the Lord tells us not to be concerned with power and authority in this life. He is grooming us, through humility, to serve in powerful positions in eternity. This life is but a training ground for our real life that will be played out in eternity.
