Revelation 5:10
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth.
This verse contains a third reason of this new song of praise and thanksgiving.
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests
They were not only redeemed from all misery, sin, curse, and eternal death; but honoured with many glorious dignities, and spiritual privileges.
Thou hast made us kings
The saints are kings, and Jesus Christ is King of saints. \ the Lord’ s redeemed ones have a heavenly kingdom prepared for them. \ And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, shall be given to Christ and his saints. \ In that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one. There shall be one fold, and one shepherd. \ And priests unto God, a royal priesthood, \ to offer up spiritual sacrifices; that you should show forth the praises of God, \ who hath called you, etc.
And we shall reign on the earth
they believed upon the scripture ground, before mentioned, and therefore did they speak, \ that is, the primitive saints believed that they shall reign with Christ on earth, and the latter day saints also have scripture ground to believe, that they shall reign with Christ on earth. \ And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years; ta cilia eth that is, those thousand years between the resurrection of Christ’ s two prophetical witnesses, etc. and the rest of the dead, who lived not until those thousand years were finished. \
