1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
This passage and scripture is very revealing to those who have been given eyes to see from the Lord. This scripture for one shows that this World was Created for a Redemptive Purpose in Christ Jesus and that sin was to be Judged !
All the Saints shall Judge the World in Union with Christ, their Surety Head and Husband, and Christ their Head was appointed to this before the World Began, To Judge the World in Righteousness Acts 17:31
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness bythat man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Now when did God ordain this Word to be Done by the God/ Man Mediator 1 Tim 2:5
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
The English Word for Mediator does carry with it the idea of also being a Judge !
So does the greek word Mesites:
one who intervenes between two, either in order to make or restore peace and friendship, or form a compact, or for ratifying a covenant
a medium of communication, arbitrator
The Lord Jesus Christ's appointment to be Judge of the World in Righteousness Per Acts 17:31was we believe at the time the Father appointed Him a Kingdom, for we read here Lk 22:29
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Now when will the Saints Judge the World ? Its here when Christ returns and Judges the World as Per Acts 17:31 and 2 Tim 4:1 which is the Kingdom appointed to Christ Lk 22:29.
Now this Kingdom we are told was prepared for the Saints from the foundation of the World Matt 25:34
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand [Saints of 1 Cor 6:2], Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
It was prepared FOR THEM in their Union with Christ Jesus, by which they shall Judge the World1 Cor 6:2, and also in that Union with Him they shall Judge the Angels 1 Cor 6:3
3 Know ye not that we[The Saints] shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Also that word angels means messengers, The devil's messengers which I believe implies as well the devils evil ministers 2 Cor 11:14-15
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
They are his ambassadors which are messengers authorized by him, in the same vein as the ambassadors of Christ are authorized messengers for Him !
Now again, In Union with Christ at His Right Hand they [The Saints/ Sheep] shall Judge Angels !
The Saints Appointment to this Honour in Christ was prior to their being and standing in Adam at the beginning of time as given in the Genesis Narrative in Gen 1-2 , and their stand in Adam was much inferior to what Hounour God had appointed them to in Christ, for it was never Adam's appointment as it was Christ's to Judge the World in Righteousness as Per Acts 17:31
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
For Adam was never God as Christ was and is ! So this appointment of the Saints here in 1 Cor 6:2-3 to Judge the World and Angels, does argue their Election Union with Christ and in Christ before the Foundation Eph 1:4,1
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
These are the Saints, thats also told us in Vs 1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
