Yes revelation contains many metaphor but let's just say I know
that men could be higher than the angels of God. I know it's the
greatest thing one could ever hope to happen to him. I never wanted
be like anyone else..really...but..
Part of the the argument about greatness
Luke 22:28-29
You have stayed with me in all my troubles. So I will give you the
right to rule as kings, just as my Father has given me the right to
rule as a king. You will eat and drink with me in my kingdom, and
you will each sit on a throne to judge the 12 tribes of
Israel.
And if you thought what subjects then everything everything. Power
from God is not power of the kingdom of man. The fulfillment of
Kingdom of God is yet to come.
And you too are entitled to your own opinion :-D
... but note what precedes verse 28...
24Also a dispute arose among
them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 25Jesus said to
them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who
exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
26But
you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should
be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who
serves. 27For who is greater, the one
who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is
at the table? But I am among you as
one who serves. 28You are those who
have stood by me in my trials. 29And I confer on you a
kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 30so that you may eat
and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
... so who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one
who serves?
... at the end of the day, let's not get hung out on whether we
will be kings or not, but rather, whether we can be servants where
we are today.
