 14Y engaña á los moradores de la tierra por las señales que le ha sido dado hacer en presencia de la bestia, mandando á los moradores de la tierra que hagan la imagen de la bestia que tiene la herida de cuchillo, y vivió.

• The "they" in that verse refers to the four and twenty elders, who sit upon thrones, and then the souls of the beheaded are seen, immediately before the statements of "the first resurrection." (“Brief Exposition of Revelation 20” by A.J. Pollock)
• Evidently therefore verses 4-6 form a parenthesis — important, no doubt, but still a parenthesis, and not a part of the regular history found here. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• God felt deeply for His saints. They were under keen trial and temptation. He takes pains to show that, if they had suffered, they were also to reign with Him. And therefore, as it seems to me, it is not there said, I saw a great throne, but "I saw thrones." (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• Those in question reign over the earth. I say, "over the, earth," for there is no reason to believe that this world will be the home of the risen saints of God. They may visit it from time to time, as we know the Lord Himself will; but their proper dwelling-place will not be the earth. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• [I saw thrones] Those who followed the Lord from heaven to war are now His companions in His government of the earth. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• "They lived." They are now seen, just before the reign, united to their bodies; and, together with those that had been previously raised and already seen enthroned, they reigned with Christ a thousand years. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• For if I am to judge the world then, God would not have me meddling with the world now. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• "They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Christ Himself was present, and He is the centre of all glory, and blessing, and joy. In Rev. 19 we had Christ and them coming out of heaven in judgment, and thereon in Rev. 20 the kingdom is established in peace over the earth. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• First, there are those who sit on the thrones, invested with royal judgment; next, there are those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God; and, thirdly, their brethren who, as it was said in Revelation 6, had yet to be completed. These, when the beast brought out his idolatry, etc., and it was a question of being killed or of worshipping him, refused. . . they were faithful unto death. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• God puts off their resurrection till just before Christ's reign, and then those that had meanwhile suffered for Him are raised up. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• Of course Rev. 21:9-27; 22:1-5 gives us the Church as the center of administration during the Millennium, throwing much light on the subject, as also do Old Testament prophecies, such as Isa. 65:17-25. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)

And I saw thrones; and they satd upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those whoe had not done homagef to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and handg; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

JND Translation Notes

In Daniel no one was seen sitting on them.
e
Hostis, as Matt. 7.24.

WK Translation Notes

a
Beginning with Wycliffe. the English versions give "seats," instead of "thrones," most incongruously.
b
The colon is all right in the RV after "unto them" in the earliest part of the verse; because these were already changed and had followed the Lord in glorified bodies out of heaven, as seen in chap. 19:14, and consequently were described as seated upon thrones.
c
Mr. Tregelles says there is a parallel Greek construction in this sentence as is found in {vi 30705}{/vi}. In each case, there is a general statement, followed by "and those"; not as some class added to the general statement, but as expressing some who, while included in the general term, are brought into an especial prominence. Now, all that could be legitimately gathered from {vi 30705}{/vi} is, that "and those" does not necessarily exclude the persons spoken of from a previous general statement. The grammar of the sentence shows no more than this; so that, in order to determine whether they are or are not included, we are forced to look elsewhere. The idea I do not combat is that first we have the account of the blessed portion of saints in the millennial reign, but besides, the prophet sees a particular class of saints, answering to those described in {vi 30803}{/vi}, and another answering to those whom he had seen on the sea of glass, in chap. 15:2. First, then, there is the general statement: "I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them." This, being general descriptions, the one of blessedness, and the other of judgment, at the Lord’s coming in glory. The portion of all the glorified saints is stated in the persons sitting upon thrones and judging, the next two clauses contemplate two classes, each in especial prominence, as having passed through especial trials. Not that these two classes embrace all who share in the thousand years’ reign.
d
In the RV a semicolon would have been preferable to a comma after "the word of God." For the Seer has before him two classes of sufferers in the disembodied state, and there the dividing line is marked by a change of construction.
