John Trapp on Matthew 19:28

Verse 28. Ye which have followed me in the Regeneration] As if our Saviour should have said, to forsake all is not enough [illegible: 1 word] ye be regenerate: So some sense it. Others by Regeneration understand the estate of the Gospel, called elswhere a new heaven, and a new earth, 2 Pet. 3. 13. the world to come, Heb. 2. 5. for God plants the heavens, and laies the foundation of the earth, that he may say to Zion, thou art my people. There are that understand by regeneration the generall resurrection (of which [illegible: 1 word] some think Plato had heard, and therefore held, that in the revolution of so many years men should be just in the same estate, wherein they were before.) These that follow this latter sense, read the text thus by an alteration of points, Ye which have followed me, shall, in the regeneration (when the Son of man shall sit in his glory) fit upon twelve thrones, &c. Ye shall also sit upon twelve thrones] As so many Kings. Kings they are here but somewhat obscure ones, as Melchisedech was; but shall then appear with Christ in glory, far outshiningColos. 3. 4. the Sunne in his strength, higher then all the Kings of the earth. Psal [illegible: 1 word]. 27. When Daniel had [illegible: 1 word] the greatnesse and glory of all the four Monarchies of the world, at last he comes to speak of a Kingdome, which is the greatest and mightiest under the whole heaven,Dan. 7. 18. and that is the Kingdom of the Saints of the most high. So glorious is their estate even here: what [illegible: 1 word] it be then at that great day? And if the Saints (every of them) shall judge the Angells; What shall the Apostles do? surely as they [illegible: 1 word] or [illegible: 1 word] men in this world, so shall it fare with them at the generall Judgement.
