Revelation 20:4
4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Arcana Coelestia #6364
6364. 'Your brothers will praise you' means that this Church is superior to all the rest. This is clear from the meaning of 'being praised' as being superior; from the representation of Judah, to whom 'you' refers here, as the celestial Church, dealt with immediately above in 6363; and from the meaning of 'brothers' as the truths which that Church possesses, thus also the Churches which are governed by those truths and are represented by 'Judah's brothers'; for truths and forms of good are what constitute a Church. The truths which the celestial Church possesses are meant by 'your brothers', that is, Judah's brothers, whereas the truths that the spiritual Church possesses are meant by 'his father's sons' below in 6366.
