Hi Joe,
That is such an amazing thought, that Christ is preparing those few in this world to reign with Him as saviors of the rest of the world.

That’s the gospel. Jesus Christ was appointed for that thing, to be the judge of the quick and the dead and as Christ is so are we. Guess what? We are to judge the world. Well of course, we are going to rule them with a rod of iron. That is how we are going to start out in the kingdom of God on this earth, over the nations of the world, in what’s called the millennium or the thousand year reign.
Rom 8:22 And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
The whole world. If you have any doubts about that, just turn on the evening news. If it’s not the weather; the hurricanes, the earthquakes, then it’s wars and terrorist. Now they are burning down Paris, for eight days straight. This is always been the condition of the world. They say the history of mankind is a chronicle of wars. Man is either in war, coming out of war or preparing for the next war.
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits…
This whole world, this whole creation is groaning and travailing in pain. Is waiting for what?
Rom 8:19 …for the manifestation of the sons of God.
That’s us, the sons of God or the kingdom of God. They are the heavens in which the Spirit of God dwells and will rule the nations.
Obadiah 1:21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau (this is them); and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
The “saviors” are going to rule from mount Zion, not over there in that ugly swill of a city called Jerusalem. But from spiritual mount Zion. He is going to rule “them,” Esau is them, “and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” What kingdom? The kingdom of what, in this context? Kingdom of saviors, plural saviors. Who are these saviors? That’s us, we’re saviors. Well this sounds a little odd, I mean we’re saying we’re going to be the saviors of the world. Well we do have a leader though, King of kings, Lord of lords, Savior of saviors and Son of sons. We’re sons right, He’s the Son of the sons. He will always have a name superior to every other one.

It would be a truely marvelous thing to have a part in actually teaching the rest of humanity the knowledge of the Truth and seeing their eyes opened. I think there will be a much joy in heaven as the many are brought to repentance.
Luk 15:10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
mercy, peace and love
