What Does Matthew 19:28 Mean?
The apostles will serve as kings within this Kingdom, which is also a Family, and their responsibilities are clearly defined. The word "regeneration" points to the new life that will come after Jesus' arrival. Those called the firstfruits will be regenerated and given a new life.
