Eating and drinking at a table is a symbol of intimate fellowship and acceptance. In biblical times, sharing a meal was a sign of peace and covenant. This promise is reminiscent of the Messianic banquet prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6</a>, where the Lord prepares a feast for all peoples. It also echoes the Last Supper, where Jesus shared bread and wine with His disciples, symbolizing the new covenant in His blood (<a href="/luke/22-19.htm">Luke 22:19-20</a>). The imagery of a table in the kingdom suggests a place of honor and closeness to the King, reflecting the fulfillment of God's promises to His faithful followers.and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel This phrase indicates a role of authority and governance granted to the apostles in the eschatological future. Sitting on thrones is a symbol of ruling and judgment, reflecting the promise of shared authority with Christ. The twelve tribes of Israel represent the entirety of God's people, and this promise connects to the restoration and fulfillment of Israel's destiny. In <a href="/matthew/19-28.htm">Matthew 19:28</a>, Jesus similarly promises the apostles that they will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes. This reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the restoration of Israel and the establishment of God's kingdom. The apostles' role in judgment signifies their foundational place in the church, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20</a>, where they are described as the foundation with Christ as the cornerstone.

The repetition of the promise at the moment when apparent failure was close at hand, is significant as carrying the words into a higher region of symbolic meaning.

While the words just considered (ver. 29) referred to a success and a reward, the scene of which was to be this world, the Master now continues his promises of reward to his chosen faithful followers - a reward which will be their blessed portion in eternal life, which will follow this. First, the endless bliss to be shared with him is pictured under the old favourite Jewish image of the heavenly banquet; and second, in that heavenly realm a special place of honor and a distinct work is promised to these his chosen faithful servants. <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>so that ἵνα (hina) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2443.htm">Strong's 2443: </a> In order that, so that.
