I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
NIV
Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted.

And they lived again and ruled with Christ (the Messiah) a thousand years. [Dan. 7:9, 22, 27.]AMP
